We are delighted and relieved by Justice Kennett’s decision this afternoon, which is a significant step forward for our side, and places real restrictions on the applicants’ ability to conduct Zionist lawfare against us. @marquelawyers.com.au

Sunday at Prince Alfred Park: 10.30 for music, then speeches before joining the Palestine demo in Hyde Park.
Send a message to the racist losers and Nazis behind the 'March for Australia' in Sydney: crawl back under your rocks.

Media release: the massive public response to John Keane and my crowdfunding appeal, for which we are enormously grateful, shows that people reject the Israel lobby’s slur that support for Palestine is antisemitic. We will never allow Zionists to bully us into silence.

It's started. With John Keane and some of our fantastic legal team after the first hearing of the Zionist lawfare case against us at the Federal Court of Australia. Zionists are suing us for 'race hate' because we're opposing a genocide. We'll be launching crowdfunding soon.

Statement on the escalating lawfare attack on John Keane & me by Joseph Toltz, Ariel Eisner, Suzanne Rutland & Yaniv Levy.
Specious claims by Zionists that opposing genocide is antisemitic, & that redressing their alleged victimhood should be a priority, don't bear scrutiny. @marquelawyers.com.au

Earlier this year, John Keane and I invited the AHRC to terminate the Zionist ‘lawfare’ complaint of 'racial hatred' against us. We are pleased that this has now happened. The complainants must now decide whether they are prepared to risk testing their foolish allegations before the Federal Court.

In a genocide, Sydney Uni is letting open Israeli propaganda organisations and serving members of the Israeli military use its campus to justify war crimes and discredit the Palestine solidarity movement.
This event has been cancelled at Monash Uni. It should be cancelled at USyd too.

Supporting Israel’s genocide is the compulsory admission ticket to social and political power in the West: my speech at today's Free Palestine demonstration in Sydney.
Congratulations to the large numbers who came out despite the terrible weather.

Universities Australia have obediently folded to Zionist demands to stigmatize and outlaw critique on campus about Israel. Proud to be with staff and students of all faiths and backgrounds at Sydney Uni who refuse to be silenced in a genocide.

Sydney Uni demonstration on Wednesday at 12pm for Palestine, part of the National Day of Action organised by NTEU members.
At a time when universities are at the vanguard of repression in our society, this is important for us as well as for Gaza.

Palestine is the front line of the fight against neo-fascism in our world. My speech for Mountains for Palestine in Katoomba today.
The campaign for Palestine depends on small, dedicated grassroots groups like this, organising out of the spotlight. Congrats to all involved.

At the press conference about Sydney Uni's astonishing discrimination against a pro-Palestinian student who is also a trans asylum seeker. Shame on university management, bankrupt beyond words.

By linking criticism of Israel/Zionism and antisemitism even more closely than the IHRA, the Universities Australia antisemitism definition critically undermines universities' ability to do their work. An extremely dangerous and foolhardy capitulation by university leaders to the pro-Israel lobby.

I spoke at the Teachers for Palestine protest this afternoon outside the NSW Education Department in Parramatta. Solidarity with Wasim El Haj, Randa Abdel-Fattah, and every other educator being silenced for opposing genocide.

Our lawyers have asked the Human Rights Commission to terminate the complaint, as a result of new evidence that the complainants have never wanted conciliation.

Statement from Sydney University staff on the proposed further protest crackdown featured in the SMH today:
We will not be silent in the face of radical attempts to sweep hard-won democratic rights away in an institution which should honour them rigorously.

VC Mark Scott was quite clear to the Senate today that he sees antisemitism as more important to address than, say, Islamophobia or anti-Palestinianism. A frank acknowledgment and celebration of institutional racism at Sydney Uni, while Gaza and Gazans' lives lie in ruins.

Devastating and entirely justified criticism of Sydney Uni from the NSW Council for Civil Liberties, calling for legislative intervention: “If these restrictions on political expression at Sydney University go ahead, it will mean the end of basic forms of political expression at the university".

One section of Bruce Hodgkinson's USyd review opens with a decontextualised quote from the Roman orator Quintilian (whose name is misspelt). Gives every impression of having been harvested from the internet. Simplistic and embarrassing. Is this a serious document or a fortune cookie?

My speech at today's Gaza demonstration in Sydney. The Zionists going after John Keane and me with "racial vilification" lawfare want to turn the Human Rights Commission into a propaganda agency for genocide & apartheid. They pose as victims, but they are doing Netanyahu’s work in Australia.
