The Australian Jewish News published an article on a letter sent by Adjunct Associate Professor Andre Oboler (also CEO of the Online Hate Prevention Institute) and Professor Emerita Suzanne Rutland in their capacities as Australia’s Experts to the International Holocaust Remebrance Alliance’s Committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial.

The AJN explained: “Jewish experts have condemned fraudulent letters falsely claiming to be from ‘Your Jewish Neighbour’ in the Goldstein electorate as an attempt to silence political speech. The letters, distributed to residents displaying support for MP Zoe Daniel, made baseless claims that her campaign materials resembled Nazi Germany propaganda.”

The AJN noted how the experts called these accusations in the letter “utterly preposterous” and “exceedingly harmful” and constituted “Holocaust minimisation and trivialisation” that weakens society’s ability to confront genuine antisemitism.
