On August 29, my favourite Tory politician (and federal education minister) Christopher Pyne wrote an article for Uncle Rupert’s The Australian<\/em> decrying anti-Semitism on Australian university campuses and identifying the neo-Cliffite<\/a> political organisation Socialist Alternative as a major culprit. Subsequently, the SAlt club at Monash University has been deregistered and a SAlt member at LaTrobe University faces disciplinary action<\/a> as a result of alleged harassment of a fellow student. Note that in WA, the SAlt club at the University of Western Australia has also been deregistered<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time SAlt have been accused of anti-Semitism, previous allegations having surfaced in September 2006 (see<\/em> : Anti-Semitism on campus?<\/a>), March 2009 (see<\/em> : Socialist Alternative: socialist jihadists of the far Left subsisting on a diet of anti-Semitism, lentils and tofu<\/a>) and March 2014 (see<\/em> : Socialists deny anti-Semitism slander<\/a>, Mel Barnes, Green Left Weekly<\/em>, March 22, 2014): SAlt deny all such allegations.<\/p>\n

SAlt has issued a public statement<\/a> on the decision and there’s an online petition<\/a> calling on the Monash Student Association to rescind their decision; in related news, the AUJS is celebrating the defeat<\/a> of a motion to support the BDS campaign at Monash: “The Australasian Union of Jewish Students has welcomed the Monash Student Council’s rejection of the highly offensive and unproductive Boycott Divestment Sanctions<\/a> propaganda movement. The rejection of BDS, which came after extensive AUJS advocacy, was overwhelming. Just 4 councillors voted in favour, 2 abstained, and 11 voted against.”<\/p>\n
