Australia's anti-Semitism envoy has proposed a comprehensive plan involving the deportation of non-citizens espousing anti-Jewish sentiments. The plan also includes cancelling funding to universities tolerating such sentiments and screening migrants for anti-Semitic views. Jillian Segal underscored the need for shared responsibility among all Australians, stating that combating anti-Semitism is not solely a burden for the Jewish community or the government. There will be efforts to monitor media content and educate immigration officials on identifying hateful views during visa applications to prevent the importation of hate.
"Countering antisemitism must not be the burden solely of the Jewish community; nor can we expect governments alone to fight antisemitism on Australians' behalf... It is a responsibility shared by all Australians."
"To guard against the importation of hate, non-citizens involved in anti-Semitism should face deportation, with the envoy to provide education on anti-Semitism to immigration officials to assist them with screening for visa applicants with hateful views."
