Australia bans pro-Israel influencer weeks after Bondi Beach terror attack
AI Summary
The Australian government recently canceled the travel visa of Jewish influencer Sammy Yahood due to anti-Islam comments he posted on social media. Yahood claims the cancellation was politically motivated, especially after the Bondi Beach terror attack. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke stated that spreading hatred is not a good reason to visit Australia. Critics argue that Yahood's case is part of a pattern of targeting pro-Israel voices, while downplaying Islamist extremism. The government has also blocked visas for individuals with extremist views, including a Lebanese preacher and a Palestinian cookbook author. Since October 7, 2023, the Australian government has canceled the visas of three other Israelis.
