A New South Wales parliamentary inquiry will recommend banning the phrase "globalise the intifada" only when it is used to incite hatred and violence. The inquiry, led by Labor MP Edmond Atalla, will not recommend an outright ban on the phrase or on other phrases like "from the river to sea." The draft recommendations were confirmed ahead of a final meeting. The opposition party has expressed dissatisfaction with the recommendation, arguing that it creates confusion. The inquiry aims to address the use of specific phrases in relation to inciting violence within New South Wales.
