Government made it illegal to say Israel is engaged in genocide as it might be offensive to the Jewish faith.

It’s a joke comment because this mentions genocide as well.

That is 100% misinformation. It is in no way illegal to criticise Israel in Australia. The courts have in fact already ruled 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 single clue about what's in the current laws, and without giving any source/evidence for their claims.

You might have missed the new authoritarian dictator hate laws passed last week.
