Aust Union of Jewish Students (AUJS) filed a complaint with UTS Sydney after anti-Semitic FB accusations Yiddish Report 30/8/2020

The Melbourne Jewish Care Victoria’s Hannah & Daryl Cohen Family Home for the elderly continued to suffer from the impact of Covid-19 infections in the state this week, with the death of a second elderly resident, but the number of infected residents fell to 8 and 16 staff were also infected with the virus. The Australian Union of Jewish Students (AUJS) filed an official complaint with the University of Technology (UTS) in Sydney, after the university’s Students for Humanity club shared Instagram and Facebook stories calling Zionism inherently antisemitic and accusing Zionist mercenaries of planting bombs in Jewish buildings in Iraq and Egypt in the early 1950s in order to convince the local population to leave for Israel. The Rabbinical Council of Victoria is holding talks with representatives of the Victorian Government to plan and prepare the Jewish Community of that state for the observations and worship over the High Holy Days, which begin on the 19th September 2020.
