Envoy claims that academia is steeped in antisemitism.13·21 hours agoThe Council is especially concerned about the plan’s strong endorsement of the widely discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been used to silence legitimate criticism of Israel and Zionism.
The IHRA are pro-genocide and their definition should be rejected.

Aussieiuszko@aussie.zoneto Australia@aussie.zone•Aboriginal community shaken by second death in Australian police custodyEnglish51·1 month agoCross-posting my rebuttal of this misleading stat:
It’s not just that.
Aboriginal people died at a rate of 0.13 per 100 prisoners, compared to a death rate of 0.21 per 100 prisoners for the total prison population.
[…]
The same AIC report calculated that Indigenous people as a whole died in police custody at more than six times the rate of non-Indigenous people as a whole – 0.61 per 100,000 people, compared to 0.09 per 100,000 people.
As a prison population, they don’t die at a higher rate. As a whole peoples they do.
