Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) < 1 mins read

MEDIA RELEASE - For immediate release

 

 

Quotes attributable to Jeremy Leibler, President of the Zionist Federation of Australia

"Hizb ut-Tahrir has spent years intentionally promoting extreme forms of antisemitic hatred, while carefully skirting the law. Extremism doesn’t begin with violence, it begins with normalising hatred.”

On the Bill set to pass the Senate tonight, he said, “We welcome the bipartisan support for this regime - which rightly allows for dangerous groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir and the National Socialist Network to be banned.”


About us:

The ZFA is the representative body of the Australian Jewish community and its Zionist organisations. We have been building a strong Jewish community with a deep and enduring connection to Israel, Since 1927.
