Inquiry calls for ban on ‘globalise the intifada’ in NSW – but only when used to incite hatred and violence

A New South Wales parliamentary inquiry has recommended banning the phrase “globalise the intifada” when used to incite hatred, harassment, intimidation, or violence. However, it will not call for an outright ban on the phrase or on statements like “from the river to sea.” Labor MP Edmond Atalla, the chair of the inquiry, confirmed the draft recommendations ahead of a final meeting where the Labor-led committee voted to table the report with minimal changes. The opposition expressed dissatisfaction with the recommendation, stating it adds confusion.
