Indonesia's religious vote, anti-Zionism vs. anti-Semitism, and the Christian college backing Trump

Indonesia's new president Prabowo Subianto has a history of courting the Islamists - but religion was less of a factor in the country's recent election.

When does anti-Zionism become anti-Semitism? In 2021, Australia adopted a definition of anti-Semitism using the language of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. It’s not legally binding and some of the examples of anti-Semitism that it uses are contested. 

How did a small Christian college in Michigan end up at the heart of Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election? In recent years, Hillsdale College has become the intellectual centre of pro-Trump conservatism.
