@MenachemV Grow up!

Higher taxes More corruption YOU pay the price

She hopes things don't escalate to the point where she needs to send a follow up with "as per my last email".

@Paullukeex @MenachemV Agree 👍

@MenachemV An accountant who taught himself enough law to game the system. 13 cases since October 7 targeting pro-Palestinians. Open cases against government shield him from a vexatious litigant declaration which would stop him filing without a judge’s permission. Calculated and deliberate.

I have lodged proceedings in the Australian Human Rights Commission against Hash Tayeh for his use of Nazi-like antisemitic tropes about Jewish control & corruption This is what Hash Tayeh said in public: "The Zionist lobby has spent decades buying politicians, corrupting courts, now they're using you [Victoria Police] to finish their job. But listen carefully Victoria Police. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced, and no badge, no gun, no corrupt prosecutor will stop this movement" @australian @theheraldsun @theage @abcmelbourne @3AW693 @SkyNewsAust @JacintaAllanMP @SBS @GuardianAus

STATEMENT: AIJAC unequivocally condemns the appalling, unacceptable and inflammatory conduct of Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in taunting activists from the Gaza flotilla. (Continued in comments ↓)

@MenachemV In news that matters, 29 women and 9 children have been murdered in Australia so far this year and it is only May.

@JayMac0187 @MenachemV @joshburnsmp Ben Gvir is a disgusting human being.

@MenachemV @joshburnsmp x.com/i/status/20570… Is this what you want done? Sick Nazi

Where’s @joshburnsmp ? Why is he silent as ISIS-terrorist linked families are brought to Australia? ISIS-inspired terrorists murdered Jews at Bondi Jewish children go to school behind armed guards because of ISIS terrorism If @joshburnsmp truly represents his constituents, he would be demanding ISIS supporters never set foot in Australia @aus_jewishnews @AUJS @AustralianJA @australian @theheraldsun @theage @3AW693 @SharrenHaskel

@MenachemV @joshburnsmp Josh is a Federal Labor politician and so represents Labor values. You are a Union basher and anti-Labor. I imagine his office refuses to speak to you!

@oozinator3 @MenachemV Agree. A great standard of living and high quality education and health.

@Peter42440446 @MenachemV Having lived in Scandinavia, I'm very much in favour of the high tax model. I used to pay 48% tax, and still had more disposable income than in Oz. Better housing stock too (central heating, double glazing etc)

We ❤️ Tax in Every Position

@MenachemV What are the backgrounds of the Jews living in Israel 🤔?

“Half the Palestinians are Egyptians, and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We are Egyptians. We are Arabs. We are Muslims.” Hamas Official, Fathi Hamad

@MenachemV Speaking of racism, the Israeli government legislated the death penalty by hanging for Palestinians 🇵🇸 only.

Who is the racist ? “I will never allow a single Israeli to live among us on Palestinian land.” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas

@MenachemV @MarioNawfal Huge rallies in England by Jews for Palestine, Jews against the genocide and anti-Zionist Jews. So I assume they are racist according to your view of the world?

Tomorrow, my trial begins. For over a year, they told the public I was being prosecuted because I was supposedly “antisemitic”. That was the justification used to drag my name through the mud, launch investigations, and spend enormous public resources pursuing me. Now, on the eve of trial, even the prosecution concedes they are NOT alleging I am antisemitic. So what exactly am I on trial for? Apparently, I have now gone from being accused of insulting Jews to allegedly insulting Zionists. The entire foundation and context of why these charges were brought has changed. Make it make sense. I have spent more than $230,000 defending advocacy and speech surrounding Palestine, while taxpayers are funding prosecutors at an estimated cost up to $40,000 per day… all over summary offences, the lowest and most minor category of offences in our legal system. This case is bigger than me. It is about fairness, consistency, free expression, and whether people can be publicly condemned first and only later told the original allegations were never actually the case. Tomorrow, we fight. Our win is your win. Pray for us. For those wanting to follow the case, you will be able to log in via WebEx and watch proceedings online. If you are around Melbourne CBD, feel free to come down to court and watch our legal team put the tough questions to Victoria Police.

For over a year, Victoria Police and sections of the media attempted to paint me as an antisemite. Now, in open court, police have formally abandoned any claim that I am motivated by antisemitism. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, after endless headlines, after attempts to destroy my name, reputation and livelihood, the case has now narrowed to one question. Whether political words spoken at a protest were “insulting”. This is no longer the case they sold to the public. Even the court has now ruled that police cannot rely on unrelated chants like “intifada” or “from the river to the sea” to poison the context against me. Why? Because justice is supposed to be based on evidence, not emotion, politics, or public hysteria. What is happening here goes far beyond me. This case is testing the limits of political expression, protest, and free speech in Australia. You do not have to agree with me to understand how dangerous it is when governments attempt to criminalise political slogans, historical debate, and dissent. History matters. Context matters. Truth matters. And despite everything they’ve thrown at me, I’m still standing.

As I sit in the courtroom today, listening to the prosecution and my defence argue my fate before a magistrate, they begin playing videos from the rallies to show what I supposedly did wrong to justify my arrest and prosecution. But in all sincerity, as those videos play, all I see is passion, empathy, and love for humanity. I see someone standing up for what they believe in without fear. And truthfully, watching it all back only makes me feel proud of myself.

@HashTayeh @MenachemV 😂🤣😂🤣

A special thank you to @MenachemV for being there through the whole trial supporting me. It mean a lot ❤️

Today, I want to sincerely thank every single person who stood by me throughout this trial. To my legal team, thank you for putting your heart and soul into my defence, standing firm under immense pressure, and fighting tirelessly for what you believed was right. To everyone who sent messages, checked in, reposted, donated, attended court, prayed, or simply showed support from afar, thank you. The overwhelming amount of love and encouragement did not go unnoticed. And to every person who has continued to speak up for the Palestinian plight despite threats of prosecution, censorship, media attacks, intimidation, and cancel culture, never forget that history remembers those who stood for humanity when it was unpopular to do so. Submissions will be made to the Magistrate on June 2nd, and His Honour may or may not deliver a ruling on the day. Win or lose, I walk away from this proud. Proud that I stood by my convictions. Proud that I refused to be silenced. Proud that fear did not make me bow down. No matter the outcome, my voice, my principles, and my support for humanity will remain unchanged.

One year ago, when I first stood on the steps of the Magistrates’ Court surrounded by cameras, I said this case would become a platform to expose Zionism and the realities surrounding it. Today, that is exactly what has happened. In open court, under oath and on the public record, discussions were heard about the history of Zionism, political violence, terrorism, the broader geopolitical context of Palestine, and the distinction between legitimate political debate designed to silence dissent. The same system that tried to criminalise political speech has now been forced to examine the very ideology and historical context they wanted quarantined from public discussion. For over a year, I have faced prosecution, media attacks, censorship, threats, financial destruction, and relentless pressure simply for speaking passionately about Palestine and opposing injustice. Yet despite all of that, we did not bow down. This was never just about me. This was always about protecting the right to speak, protest, resist intimidation, and stand for oppressed people without fear. Win, lose, or draw, history will remember who stood firm when it mattered most. Palestine will never be silenced.

@wolfgan53350589 @MenachemV @JacintaAllanMP Agree 👍

@Peter42440446 @MenachemV @JacintaAllanMP We’ve seen too much of Zionists condemning and killing children in Palestine. Nothing new here.

Victorian Premier @JacintaAllanMP claims she is “tough on crime” Really ???? A 13-year-old facing 109 charges - including for deliberately targeting Jews, Googled “where do Jews live”, searched the consequences of running someone over before mowing down a cyclist - walks free Meanwhile Victorians are lectured about “community safety” Australia’s legal system comes from the UK In Britain, 10-year-olds Robert Thompson & Jon Venables were convicted over the murder of James Bulger because the justice system recognised children can understand exactly what they are doing If someone is old enough to research Jewish targets, research criminal consequences & carry out violent acts, the public is entitled to ask if @JacintaAllanMP & her government have stopped taking violent crime seriously? @theage @australian @theheraldsun @3AW693 @abcmelbourne @7NewsMelbourne @9NewsMelb @10NewsAU @SBSNews @SkyNewsAust
