Our counsel Jessie Taylor today: our Zionist opponents are arguing that criticising Israel is confessing hatred of all Jews; calling for the end of a genocide is calling for a genocide of Jews; and calling for peace in Gaza is committing an act of violence. All utterly baseless.

Day 1 of a protracted trial is now over. Our opponents made it clear just how determined they are to outlaw anti-Zionism in Australia. They won't succeed. Huge thanks to our solicitors @marquelawyers and Jessie Taylor our barrister for their dedication. https://t.co/1LRhmLrTDr

A really powerful interview
Thanks to Julian Morrow for the interview on ABC radio this morning about the lawfare case against @jkeaneSDN and me, and why anti-Zionism ≠ antisemitism. Good to be able to talk about how the accusation against us is so wrong (and also so insulting).

The racist and incompetent NSW Police even counted *Islamophobic* incidents as antisemitic, giving the government the excuse it needed to go after the Palestine solidarity movement. If facts mattered in politics, laws would change and heads would roll. https://t.co/3WVYeBtUcD
