🇦🇺⚡️- Australia's Labor Party will introduce the "Combating Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill" by the end of the month in the Australian Parliament.

The law aims to severely punish hate speech following the Bondi terror attack. Numerous opposition MPs and public figures have called it a "threat to legitimate dissent" (MS Now article on Jan 11th).

Per The Guardian, it will be illegal to publicly promote or incite hatred, or disseminate ideas of superiority or hatred towards another person or group of people based on their race, color, or national or ethnic origin.
The Bill also includes visa cancellations alongside serious offences for hate preachers, increased penalties for hate crimes, a new "racial vilification offence", introduction of a new listing for prohibited hate groups, at a lower threshold than the terror group listing, as well as introduced provisions to establish the biggest gun buyback program since the Port Arthur massacre.

The "Combating Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill" is largely expected to pass.

Armed robbers disguised as Israel Defense Forces soldiers carried out a gold/jewelry robbery near Hebron.

The suspects threatened victims with weapons and stole valuables worth tens of thousands of shekels.

The IDF quickly said “these are not IDF soldiers” and launched a manhunt.

Israeli media say they were Israeli Arabs, some Bedouin, using military disguises for criminal purposes.
