The Australasian Union of Jewish Students (AUJS) has commended University of Adelaide’s student union (YouX) for firing the editor of a campus magazine who harassed Jewish students after publishing an essay that called for the “Death of Israel.”

On Wednesday, AUJS Vice President Alissa Foster said that the decision has made Jewish students “feel relieved.”

“Jewish students can find comfort that their university’s student board stands up to racist and bigoted language,” Foster said. “AUJS now calls on the university to follow in the lead of YouX in taking a stronger stance against antisemitism by adopting the IHRA definition.”

YouX’s decision comes after a student media director of On Dit, a student publication, wrote an article titled “For Palestine, there is No Ceasefire,” in which the student described Israel as “genocidal” and argued that “the solution to achieving peace and bringing forth justice for Palestine is to demand the abolition of Israel.”

Germany’s flagship airline has joined with a major American Jewish advocacy organization to combat global antisemitism, four months after igniting a scandal when its agents barred dozens of Jews from boarding a plane in Frankfurt.

Under the terms of the partnership announced last week, American Jewish Committee staffers will train employees of the Lufthansa Group to identify and respond to antisemitism. The airline is also joining dozens of countries, states and companies that have adopted a specific definition of antisemitism to guide their own activities known as the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition.

The partnership is the latest commitment by Lufthansa following the negative headlines it earned in May after 100 Orthodox Jewish passengers flying from New York to Budapest were barred from boarding a connecting flight. Airline staffers said the decision had been made because because some of them had not worn masks and had gathered in the aisles, going against flight regulations.

In an extraordinary security move, the Tehran Jewish community took to its Telegram page to announce that the city’s tiny Jewish community should not visit synagogues because of the protests unfolding against the clerical regime.


The Iran expert Ben Sabti told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that the Jewish community in Tehran issued an “unusual letter" reading: "Do not visit synagogues in Tehran due to the dangerous situation."


"There was never such a letter from the community, especially not before the Jewish holidays," said Sabti.
