Segal's proposals make Browning's review illegal

July 11, 2025

Browning’s article is one of the most erudite articles written about Western hypocrisy regarding Palestine. It is also ironic that the pro-Zionist, anti-Palestinian, anti-democratic, and autocratic anti-protest report by Jillian Segal was released on the same day.

Segal’s draconian report will be adopted by our cowardly Labor Government. Her Trumpian proposals will result in Browning’s article being banned and any mention of the 60,000 dead Palestinians and the suffering of two million Palestinians of Gaza (some who are Christians) who are being ethnically cleansed, not to mention the apartheid-like condition that oppress and dehumanise the Palestinians of the West Bank, will be classified as antisemitic hate speech!

It will just be a short step, under Segal’s proposals, for the government to then equate comparison of the Israeli genocide with the genocide committed by the Nazis as antisemitic or equating Gaza to the British concentration camps that collectively punished the Boers as antisemitic or to label the Palestinians as oppressed by an European colonial-settler movement called Zionism to be antisemitic and the author will be vilified and slandered as an antisemite. Welcome to Orwell’s 21st century Australia.
