NSW 'seeking urgent advice' on controversial court ruling that found anti-Israel vandalism was not antisemitic

A NSW Supreme Court judge has ruled that anti-Israel vandalism by a Sydney man does not constitute antisemitism, instead classifying it as political comment. This decision rejected the state's request for a terror order against Mohammed Farhat, who was convicted of writing "Fuk Israel" on cars and setting a vehicle alight in late 2024. The NSW government is now considering appealing the controversial ruling.
