Federal Court finds criticising Israel, the IDF, and Zionism over the genocide in Gaza, is NOT antisemitic.
Sensational findings by judge:
1. "Political criticism of Israel, however inflammatory or adversarial, is not by its nature criticism of Jews in general or based on Jewish racial or ethnic identity."
2. "Disparagement of Zionism constitutes disparagement of a philosophy or ideology and not a race or ethnic group."
More:
'The Federal Court found passages in an interview and sermon by Mr Haddad contained critical and disparaging things about the actions of the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza and about Zionists.
'However, the judge found the "ordinary, reasonable listener" would not understand those things to be about Jewish people in general.
"That person would understand that not all Jews are Zionists and that disparagement of Zionism constitutes disparagement of a philosophy or ideology and not a race or ethnic group," Justice Stewart said.
"Also, political criticism of Israel, however inflammatory or adversarial, is not by its nature criticism of Jews in general or based on Jewish racial or ethnic identity."
