New South Wales planning to ban ‘globalize the intifada’ chants after Bondi shooting – report

The Australian state of New South Wales plans to ban “globalize the intifada” chants, according to a BBC report, amid a crackdown on “hateful” rhetoric and slogans in the wake of Sunday’s terror attack at the Bondi Hanukkah event.

New South Wales is home to Sydney and its iconic Bondi Beach, where 15 people were killed and dozens wounded after two gunmen opened fire on a crowd celebrating the Jewish holiday.

Since the attack, New South Wales’ Premier Chris Mimms has said he plans to convene the state’s parliament and pass stricter hate speech and incitement laws.

According to the BBC, Mimms is looking to classify the popular “globalize the intifada” chant as illegal hate speech, and aims to encourage a “summer of calm,” without mass anti-Israel protests and demonstrations.
