UNRWA is not part of the solution in any future scenario. As this latest findings underline, it remains part of the problem – an obstacle to any peaceful outcome for Palestinians and Israelis.

Joint statement on the University of Sydney

June 27, 2024 | AIJAC

We are appalled and deeply concerned by the agreement that was reached on June 21 by the University of Sydney and representatives of protesters who had camped on the University’s grounds for the previous eight weeks. Many of the protesters were from outside the University, yet they were allowed to menace the University community and disturb campus life without challenge. They have now been rewarded for doing so.

AIJAC calls for Australia to follow Canada and list the IRGC as a terrorist organisation

June 20, 2024 | Colin Rubenstein

The Government claims that as a state entity, the IRGC is not covered by the terrorist organisation provisions in the Criminal Code. But as we have repeatedly said, if current laws prevent the IRGC’s listing under the current Criminal Code, then amend the legislation. This is what the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee proposed in February 2023 when it recommended listing the IRGC.

AIJAC appalled by attack on the electorate office of Josh Burns

June 19, 2024

AIJAC is appalled by the attack on the electorate office of Josh Burns last night – a further escalation of the campaign of political violence against our elected representatives by extremist pro-Palestinian thugs. Moreover, the claim that Burns was targeted because he is a ‘Zionist’ only underlines the clearly antisemitic overtones of this particular attack.
