When the crowds, wearing keffiyehs and waving Palestinian flags, gathered in Sydney immediately after October 7, their chant wasn’t “where are the Zionists?”; it was “where are the Jews?”. Nor were the writers and artists whose names and details were recently “doxxed” by Hamas’s local supporters targeted for being Zionists; they were targeted for being […]
Read MoreUS says claims UN aid staff took part in Hamas attack ‘credible’
A new US intelligence assessment found it is likely some employees of a UN agency that distributes aid to Palestinians took part in Hamas’s October 7 assault on Israel, but says it can’t verify Israeli allegations that a larger number of UN workers have links to militant groups.

Read More‘I’m no anti-Semite’, but Clementine Ford’s social media bile says otherwise
In December, Clementine Ford told The Australian she was not an anti-Semite, describing the suggestion as “ludicrous”. But since the doxxing of 600 Jewish creatives on her social media accounts, it is worth re-examining the charge and the evidence that supports it. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance states it is not anti-Semitic to criticise Israel […]
