NSW and Queensland ban "globalise the intifada" and "from the river to the sea" after a Hanukkah attack killed 15, calling them hate incitement.

Following a Hanukkah attack in Bondi that killed 15, New South Wales and Queensland have banned the phrases "globalise the intifada" and "from the river to the sea," citing hate incitement. The terms are highly contested: supporters see them as expressions of Palestinian resistance and self-determination, while critics, including many Jewish groups, view them as antisemitic calls for violence against Israel and Jews. The phrases are tied to broader tensions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the term "intifada" referring to past uprisings against occupation, one of which involved significant violence. The ban reflects ongoing debate over free speech, historical memory, and security in the wake of the attack.
