What Next in the Middle East (Prof Joshua Landis)

What's Next in the Middle East

Anti-Palestinian Racism

What Next

The notion of Anti-Palestinian Racism (APR) is a very questionable one (listen to last week's interview with Nick Cater). Simone Abel, who is a human rights lawyer and activist, and the Head of Legal at the ECAJ, will help to explain why it has gained traction, first in Canada and now in Australia. Being endorsed by the Australian Human Rights Commission gives the notion of APR greater credibility. (0:29-27:23)

Anti-Palestinian Racism (Simone Abel), What Next (Prof Joshua Landis)

Anti-Palestinian Racism, What Might Happen Next

Nick Cater is Senior Fellow at the Menzies Research Centre, where he contributes to the public policy conversation through podcasts, newspaper columns and media appearances.

Nick wrote an article recently on Sky News titled, "Australian Human Rights Commission's 'anti-racism' thesis is a divisive document that worships at the shrine of critical race theory", wherein he condemns the AHRC's National Anti-Racism Framework which is based on Critical Race Theory.

In particular, Anti-Palestinian Racism, which is touted by this framework, is revealed as a cynical contrivance to shift attention away from antisemitism and depict Muslims and pro-Palestinian supporters as being victims of some kind of confected 'racism'.
