Australian lawmakers sign anti-Semitism declaration

SYDNEY (JTA) – At least 50 Australian lawmakers signed the London
Declaration on Combating Anti-Semitism.
Joshua Frydenberg, a Jewish lawmaker from Melbourne, helped coordinate
the signing on Tuesday by more than 40 of his partners from the
Liberal National Party coalition in the House of Representatives.
“This is a fantastic result given the importance of the subject and
the declaration itself,” he said.
The party’s leader, Tony Abbott, also signed the declaration. Some
senators are expected to sign Wednesday.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard signed the declaration on April 23,
saying anti-Semitism did not end with the fall of Nazism.
“It pollutes our world right now,” she said. “In the face of anti-
Semitism, there can be no bystanders.”
Professor Stuart Rees, a longstanding Israel critic at the University
of Sydney, blasted the signatories.
“The resort to charges of anti-Semitism regarding the worldwide
criticisms of the internationally illegal policies of the government
of Israel is an age-old technique to stifle any criticism of blatant
human rights abuses,” The Australian newspaper quoted Rees as saying
Tuesday.
The London Declaration on Combating Anti-Semitism was launched in
London in February 2009 by global parliamentarians who, among other
things, resolved to “expose, challenge, and isolate political actors
who engage in hate against Jews and target the State of Israel as a
Jewish collectivity.”
Some 200 legislators from 40 countries are believed to have signed the
London declaration.

Australia pledges to combat anti-Semitism
Prime Minister Julia Gillard signs London declaration previously
adopted by 40 countries

SYDNEY, Australia (JTA) — Australia’s prime minister signed a
declaration about combating anti-Semitism, saying the bigotry
“pollutes our world right now.”
In the presence of Jewish leaders in Sydney, Julia Gillard signed the
London Declaration on Combating Anti-Semitism on Tuesday, a
declaration first adopted in 2009 by 125 legislators from more than 40
countries.
Executive Council of Australian Jewry President Danny Lamm, who was
present at Tuesday’s signing, said: “Australia, as a respected nation
around the world, in joining this London Declaration, can only help in
our battle against anti-Semitism. We are very grateful to the prime
minister for making the declaration.”
Although Gillard did not speak at the signing, her office did release
a statement. “Anti-Semitism did not end with the conclusion of the
Second World War and the fall of Nazism,” she said. “It did not end
with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It did not end with
the foundation of the State of Israel. It pollutes our world right
now.”
She added: “The London Declaration is, above all, a warning and a
witness to those who hold offices of public trust. In the 1930s,
another generation of leaders failed the test. We face the same test –
and we must not fail it.”
