    August 28, 2024 - Acclaimed Journalist Charged With ‘Anti-Semitism’

    For retweeting two tweets on X critical of Israel, famed Australian journalist Mary Kostakidis is facing charges of allegedly violating the country’s Racial Discrimination Act.

    These are tweets not calling for the murder of Israeli babies like Zionists constantly do, but for the simple right of Palestinians to their colonized land.

      both of which contain a video of a speech by Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah in which he allegedly called for the ethnic cleansing of Israel.

      Why would you post a link that contradicts what you’re saying?

          We both know that’s journalist speak for “this is what happened but I don’t want to be sued”

          Besides, would that be out of character for Hesbollah to say?

            Yes that would be very out of character.

            Did he call for the extermination of all Israeli children like the person in the tweet did yes or no?

            No, half the time it’s “Someone made it the fuck up, and I know it’s a lie, but I want to say it anyway”
