An Australian pro-Palestine activist has been charged with allegedly using ‘insulting words in public’ under Section 17(1) of Victoria’s Summary Offences Act – which prohibits ‘profane, indecent or obscene language’ – for reportedly saying ‘ALL ZIONISTS ARE TERRORISTS’ at a rally last May. The Australian notes that this marks ‘possibly the first time comments considered political speech are the subject of a criminal charge under certain state laws’.
