What is the controversial definition of antisemitism that institutions are being told to adopt?
Segal's recommendation to embed the alliance's definition in all public institutions last week came after a host of antisemitic attacks across Australia this year, including the doors of the East Melbourne synagogue being set alight earlier this month, and children at Jewish schools in Sydney being harassed with calls of 'Heil Hitler'.
However, pro-Palestinian and some human rights organisations fear the definition may stifle legitimate criticism of Israel and its government by tying antisemitism to anti-Zionism, limiting the free speech.
So what is the definition? How widely used is it? And why has it become controversial?
What is the IHRA, and its definition of antisemitism?
The alliance was established by the Stockholm International Forum, a series of conferences held between 2000 and 2004, and convened by then-Swedish prime minister Göran Persson.
The conferences were held to combat 'the growth of extreme right-wing groups' that were spreading propaganda in schools, and to address a survey of Swedish young people that found knowledge of the Holocaust 'was deficient and that a large number of teenagers were not even certain that it had taken place', according to the Swedish government.
There are now 35 member states of IHRA, including Australia, Israel, the UK and the US, all of which adopted a 'non-legally binding working definition' of antisemitism in May 2016.
The definition adopted by the alliance states:

Douglas Murray scorches Zohran Mamdani for reiterating Muslim talking points
Author Douglas Murray reacts to Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani vowing to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he were to set foot in New York City. 'Let's be honest about it; he is of a Muslim background and he seems to be just reiterating certain Muslim political talking points,' Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'It's to attack a Hindu leader, it's to attack the leader of the one Jewish state, and this is just something we have seen a lot in Europe in recent years. 'It's very striking seeing this kind of Islamic politics come to New York.'

'All this for a post': Influencers slammed for smashing new television showing interview with Benjamin Netanyahu in bizarre anti-Israel statement
A bizarre anti-Israeli post has gone viral after two women were seen smashing a television whilst Benjamin Netanyahu was giving a sit-down interview. In the footage, which was posted to Instagram under the username @thecaucasianarab, a woman can be seen approaching the television with what appears to be a shoe, before another woman stops her, then proceeds to smash the television with a baseball bat. The video then ends with a man on the sofa laughing at the spectacle as the women shout anti-Israel slogans. The TV was showing a CNBC interview with Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu who was talking about the war in Gaza. The account belongs to Sammia Jallaq, who describes herself in her bio as: "Comedian/Humanitarian/ActivistPalestinian/Jewish Descent". Many comments criticised the popular social media user, who boasts over 232,000 followers on Instagram alone. 'You could have used the remote,' said one. Another said 'Life is very funny and tricky. One family is struggling to buy a TV set whilst another family creates content destroying their own TV." Yet another slammed the wasteful act, writing that the family "would have been better off donating [the TV] to a charity store." "They should have sold the tv and donated the money to Palestine if they care so much about palestine," seethed another. Others were in praise of the move, with a few writing pro-Iranian slogans and "free Palestine". The video comes amid ceasefire talks taking place in Qatar as the US seeks an end to the war between Israel and Hamas that started on October 7. It is believed that a ceasefire deal is close, but it is being stalled by Israeli security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and finance minister Bezalel Yoel Smotrich who collapsed the last ceasefire by resigning from Benjamin Netenyahu's right wing coalition government. It is unclear whether the interview that was on the TV which was smashed was before Israel's strikes on the Iranian capital Tehran and the US military strike on the Iranian nuclear program.

‘Heavy-handed': Former minister breaks ranks on antisemitism report
A former Albanese government minister has broken ranks to criticise aspects of the report handed down by the government's special envoy to combat antisemitism as 'heavy-handed', questioning the contested definition of antisemitism used in Jillian Segal's recommendations. Former industry and science minister Ed Husic, who was moved to the backbench following a post-election cabinet reshuffle, said the report made 'some really important' points, but was concerned with certain sections and some of Segal's commentary. 'With the greatest respect to the special envoy, I wasn't entirely comfortable that she just singles out public broadcasting for attention,' Husic told ABC's RN Breakfast on Wednesday. 'There's a role to play across media on these issues, and I didn't necessarily think it was justified to point out the public broadcaster.' Last week, Segal said reporting by the ABC on the war in Gaza was an example of 'manipulated narratives' that could lead to antisemitism. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke both endorsed Segal's report when she launched it last week, though neither committed to implementing specific recommendations, and mainstream Jewish groups backed it as a vital blueprint to tackle antisemitism. Loading Husic, a Muslim, has previously broken ranks with the government over Israel and is the first Labor MP to criticise Segal's report. He said the government should be careful about rushing to adopt her recommendations. 'Let's take the time to think it through,' he said. 'A lot of thought's been put into it.' There has been rising antisemitism in Australia, including arson attacks and racist graffiti on Jewish buildings, since Hamas' massacres in Israel on October 7, 2023 and Israel's subsequent war in Gaza. The government appointed Segal as the antisemitism envoy a year ago to find the causes of the issue and suggest solutions. In a wide-ranging report delivered last week, Segal concluded that antisemitism was spreading in Australia and took particular aim at the cultural and educational sectors.
