Comment on Segal’s speech code meets the law: Justice Fagan wrecks Canberra’s Israel exception

Fagan cited Pew polling showing 74 per cent of Australians unfavourable towards Israel, rising to 79 per cent this year, and inferred a “humanitarian reaction to Israel’s genocide of the Gazans”. A definition that tars four in five Australians is not detecting hatred.
It is outlawing majority opinion.
Antisemitism, Fagan said, is simply “hostility to Jews for their Jewishness”. It is real, repugnant and must be confronted. Israel is a foreign state. Zionism is a political ideology. Neither is entitled to immunity from condemnation.
Protecting Jewish Australians is essential. Protecting a foreign government from criticism is not.

That quote needs to be shared around, that little bit of honesty, and logic needs to go a long way.

Watch the zionists come after Fagan, I expect allegations of sexual misconduct.
