Historically, the only demographic group more loyal to the Democratic Party than American Jews has been Black Americans. For the establishment to lose that legacy of trust wouldn't just weaken their numbers—it would be a psychological and structural earthquake that forces a total realignment of both major American parties.

🇦🇺 Australia: ABC Faces Antisemitism Probe - Coalition Calls for Royal Commission Hearings into Public Broadcasters and Arts Institutions. The Coalition has formally asked the Royal Commissioner Virginia Bell to setup a block of hearings into Australia's arts institutions and public broadcasters. In a statement, Shadow Attorney-General Michaelia Cash and Shadow Communications Minister Sarah Henderson said that cultural institutions and broadcasters like the ABC, shape public debate and influence cultural norms. They say the ABC has faced sustained criticism and public concern over aspects of its Middle East coverage, complaints handling processes and broader editorial approach, including evidence and submissions now before the Royal Commission alleging that its coverage has contributed to social division, and diminished confidence among sections of the Jewish community. This proposed hearing block should examine governance settings, complaints processes, funding decisions, editorial standards, cultural leadership and whether publicly funded institutions have appropriate safeguards to identify and address antisemitism. "This comes after the ABC and SBS refused to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, used by 47 countries around the world, including Australia." Ms Markson said. "Now I think the Royal Commission should seriously consider this formal request from the coalition, which would no doubt be supported by many Jewish groups - because the normalisation of offensive rhetoric in cultural bodies has been a disgrace." "The Royal Commission should absolutely hold a block of hearings into the plethora of issues just like this."
