Comment on no pride in genocide
Why?
Government made it illegal to say Israel is engaged in genocide as it might be offensive to the Jewish faith.
That is 100% misinformation. It is in now way illegal to criticise Israel in Australia. The courts have in fact already rules that criticism of Israel is not a breach of our racial discrimination act.
I’m so tired of idiots claiming criticism of Israel is now illegal without a subgle clue about what’s in the current laws, or any source/evidence given.
Michelle Rowland has confirmed that groups will be banned for saying it, how is that not making it illegal?
She did no such thing. She didn’t make that determination in the interview.
She said she couldn’t say, and it would depend on the nature of the offense, because the new laws are about racism. Not national politics.
You might have missed the new authoritarian dictator hate laws passed last week.
