Australia bans pro-Israel influencer weeks after Bondi Beach terror attack

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Late last month, the Australian government canceled a travel visa for outspoken Jewish influencer Sammy Yahood over anti-Islam comments posted to social media — critics say this is just the latest instance of targeting pro-Israel voices by authorities.
In an Instagram post, Yahood claimed the Australian government «called up the UAE,» to be sure that he could not board a plane to Melbourne.
He said he booked his travel via the United Arab Emirates three days before the Bondi Beach terror attack that killed 15 people assembled for a beachside Hannukah celebration. Following the tragedy, he said that he hoped his visit would give the Jewish community «some hope for the future.»

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said of his visa cancellation that, «spreading hatred is not a good reason to come» to Australia, the Guardian newspaper reported. On social media, the controversial influencer, Yahood, has called for a ban on Islam, saying, «it’s time to stop being tolerant of those that are not tolerant of us.»
Avi Yemini, chief reporter for Rebel News Online in Australia, told Fox News Digital that Yahood «is just the latest name on a growing list of Jews being barred from entering Australia, not because they pose any genuine security threat, but because this government is pandering to a specific voting bloc.»
Yemini claimed that «only one Islamist extremist has been stopped under this government. In the aftermath of the Bondi terror attack, that imbalance tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.»
The Australian government blocked the visa of Lebanese preacher Hussain Makke in March 2025, according to the Herald Sun. Makke had planned to speak during Ramadan in Melbourne and Sydney. His visa was canceled after he attended the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, whom he described as the «greatest freedom fighter.»
Fox News Digital also found that in Aug. 2025, the government blocked travel for a Palestinian cookbook author who openly expressed support for Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre, the Sydney Morning Herald said. SBS reported that a 61-year-old Palestinian woman had her visa canceled while in Australia in July 2025.

Three other Israelis were also canceled after Oct. 7, 2023 by the Australian government. In June last year, the visa of prominent pro-Israel activist Hillel Fuld was stopped. Fuld’s brother was killed in a terrorist attack in Jerusalem in 2018.
The Times of Israel reported that in a letter sent to Fuld from the Ministry of Home Affairs, his visit would incite «particular segments of the community, namely the Islamic population,» the report claimed.
Two months later, the government canceled a visa for right-wing Israeli politician Simcha Rothman, who had a speaking tour scheduled in Melbourne and Sydney. Rothman is a member of Israel’s governing coalition.

In 2024, Burke canceled a visa for former Israeli parliamentarian Ayelet Shaked, citing remarks about Palestinians that he felt were «demeaning,» according to ABC News.
The Australian Embassy and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade did not answer questions about Yemini’s claims. The press secretary of the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, declined to respond without Fox News Digital naming sources of criticism against the pm.

The Home Affairs Ministry told Fox News Digital it could not comment on specific cases and did not respond to additional questions.
The environment inside Australia remains tense following the Bondi Beach massacre.
Former Prime Minister of Australia Scott Morrison recently drew condemnation when he suggested that Muslim leaders should be licensed to preach, and that their teaching should be translated into English. Morrison suggested that Muslims in Australia should take «accountability and responsibility» for radicalization, the Australian reported.

The site also claimed that one of the shooters had ties to Sydney preacher Wissam Haddad, some of whose lectures ABC News says were ordered removed from social media by a federal judge because they were found to contain «racist and antisemitic» content.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) produced a 15-minute video which they claim contains multiple instances of incitement to violence towards Jews, recorded at protests in Sydney and at a variety of mosques within 30–40 minutes of Bondi Beach.
Albanese’s press secretary did not respond to questions about whether Albanese had made any effort to respond to the conduct shown in the video.

The Australian National Imams’ Council called Morrison’s remarks «reckless, irresponsible, and deeply ill-informed,» and said it was unacceptable «to suggest that an entire faith community should be held accountable for the actions of two (alleged) criminal offenders, both of whom law enforcement agencies have confirmed acted alone.»
Yemini said the response to Morrison «is part of a broader attempt to shut down any honest conversation about what is driving the surge in antisemitism and ideological violence in Australia.» He said that Australians were told for years that «it was reasonable to distinguish between Islam and radical Islam. Now, we’re being told to ignore the fact that attackers themselves cite religion as their motivation.»

PHOTOS: Anti-ICE agitators dox agents by sending warning postcards to neighbors

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Activists and agitators opposed to enforcement of federal immigration laws have found a new, intrusive way to dox or leak personal and identifying information of ICE and CBP agents, the Department of Homeland Security exclusively told Fox News Digital Tuesday.
Immigration agents continue to face an escalating 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% increase in assaults since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, according to DHS.
An ICE agent living in Wake County, North Carolina, was doxxed in recent days, as evidenced by postcards sent to the officer’s neighbors with language suggesting they needed to be warned of his presence on their block.
«Beware, your neighbor is an ICE agent. Immigration enforcement lives next door,» the postcard said in billboard-style font festooned with a generic image of a federal agent and a mock-up of an ICE badge addressed to a resident in Raleigh.
DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS, TIKTOKERS, LIBERALS TAKE THEIR ANTI-ICE RHETORIC TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The message section of the postcard shared with Fox News Digital showed what appeared to be a still shot from CCTV footage depicting a Black federal immigration agent. DHS blurred the agent’s face, which was not blurred in the original mailing.
DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital the doxxing only adds to threats because agents «risk their lives every single day to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, terrorists and gang members from American neighborhoods.»
Fox News Digital also noticed fine print on the doxxing postcard’s postage stamp indicating it was sent «presorted first-class,» a special subset of USPS business mail that requires the sender to mail at least 500 pieces, each weighing 3.5 ounces or less.
Presorted first-class also requires more than typical local «junk mail» granted presorted standard postage, which indicates at least 50 such letters or postcards.
That detail indicates that hundreds of such postcards were disseminated around the country.
THE FAR-LEFT NETWORK THAT HELPED PUT ALEX PRETTI IN HARM’S WAY, THEN MADE HIM A MARTYR
«Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police and slave patrols has consequences,» Bis said Tuesday. «The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer.
«Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.»

The news comes weeks after identifying information for a reported 4,500 ICE and USBP employees was allegedly leaked by a DHS whistleblower to an Irish national who runs a website called the «ICE list.»
After the shooting death of Renee Good in January, Dominick Skinner received the massive dataset, The Daily Beast reported. The outlet quoted the website administrator as saying information about ICE agents’ identities flooded in.
Some people told him their neighbors were allegedly immigration agents, while hotel and bar staff reportedly sent him sticky notes, according to the outlet.

Skinner, who now lives in the Netherlands but has American family, told the outlet the website was not supposed to turn into a database but suggested it was a response to then-Secretary Kristi Noem warning people stateside they could be prosecuted for doxxing.
Anyone who receives similar postcards or paraphernalia doxxing DHS agents is advised to contact ICE’s tip line at (866) DHS-2-ICE or (866) 347-2423.

Las memorias de una feminista millennial sobre el poliamor pueden ser desgarradoras

Hace dos años, Megan Agnew, redactora de The Sunday Times en Londres, causó furor en internet con su perfil certero e inquietante sobre Hannah Neeleman, una exbailarina que se mudó a una granja en Utah con su esposo, tenía —en ese momento— ocho hijos y se convirtió en una exitosa influencer del movimiento tradwife. El artículo resultaba llamativo por la disonancia entre la historia que Neeleman y su esposo intentaban contar —la realización personal a través de la tradición— y los detalles que insinuaban una realidad más oscura.
“Daniel quería vivir en los grandes parajes salvajes del Oeste, así que lo hicieron; quería ser agricultor, así que lo son; le gustan las citas nocturnas una vez por semana, así que salen”, escribió Agnew. “No quería niñeras en la casa, así que no las hay”. Hannah bajó la voz al confesar que durante uno de sus partos, cuando Daniel no pudo estar presente, le pusieron una epidural. Habló con nostalgia de la carrera de danza que abandonó. Daniel le comentó a Agnew que, en ocasiones, Hannah se encuentra tan exhausta que pasa una semana en cama. En Instagram, algunos usuarios le pedían a Hannah que parpadeara dos veces si necesitaba ayuda.
Las memorias Adult Braces de Lindy West, que han generado amplio debate, evocan una inquietud similar, aunque con la política en sentido opuesto. West había sido una figura destacada del feminismo digital de los años 2000 y un símbolo de la positividad corporal; su anterior autobiografía, Shrill, fue adaptada a una serie de televisión. Pero detrás de esa fachada, revela su nuevo libro, sufría un dolor extraordinario, con relaciones distorsionadas tanto con su cuerpo como con su esposo. Aunque ahora afirma haber encontrado paz y empoderamiento tras acceder a la exigencia de su esposo de tener un matrimonio poliamoroso, su relato no resulta del todo convincente.

No sorprende que algunos interpreten “Adult Braces” como una crítica a las creencias progresistas de West. Un ensayo en The Atlantic sobre el libro llevaba el título “La muerte del feminismo millennial”. The Wall Street Journal declaró: “El progresismo destruye a sus siervos más leales”. Pero interpreté el libro de West como una advertencia sobre la autoanulación femenina. Esa tendencia suele celebrarse en sectores conservadores, pero siempre ha estado presente en la izquierda también. Prácticamente cualquier ideología puede utilizarse para hacer sentir a las mujeres que están fallando.
En textos anteriores, West presentaba su unión con el músico Ahamefule Oluo, conocido como Aham, como una especie de final de cuento de hadas feminista. “Mi boda fue perfecta, y estuve gorda todo el tiempo”, tituló una columna en The Guardian en 2015. Pero si la boda fue idílica, West revela en “Adult Braces” que el matrimonio no lo fue. Casi desde el principio, escribe, Aham condicionó la relación a que él pudiera acostarse con otras mujeres. Ella accedió porque no quería perderlo, pero sus aventuras la hicieron sentir una inseguridad insoportable.
Como West vivía en un entorno progresista donde la no monogamia es habitual, sentía una capa extra de vergüenza por no poder aceptar la vida sexual extramatrimonial de Aham. (“En ese momento, ser comprensiva con el poliamor parecía un imperativo creciente en los círculos progresistas”, escribe). Su angustia aumentaba por un fuerte rechazo hacia su propio cuerpo, que, según ella misma reconoce, contradice la imagen que había construido públicamente. “¿Crees que alguna vez sentí que merecía exigirle algo a un hombre?”, pregunta.

Para muchos lectores, incluido yo, parecía que Aham se aprovechó de la profunda falta de autoestima de West. Utilizó su ideología en su contra; West cuenta que Aham, que es mitad nigeriano, “creía que la monogamia era, en esencia, un sistema de propiedad”. No es la primera vez que un hombre de izquierda emplea el lenguaje de la liberación para traspasar los límites de una mujer. Tras la revolución sexual de los años 60 y 70, Ellen Willis describió cómo los hombres de la contracultura “intensificaron las ansiedades sexuales de las mujeres al equiparar la represión con el deseo de amor y compromiso, y exaltar el sexo sin emoción ni apego como el ideal”. Es un ideal que muchas mujeres sienten la presión de cumplir.
Pero West —o al menos la versión de West que narra “Adult Braces”— no logra ver la aparente manipulación de Aham. En cambio, el libro, que transcurre durante un largo viaje por carretera, describe cómo West aprende a aceptar el poliamor y llega a querer a Roya, la novia de Aham, con quien ahora mantiene una relación de tres.
Al final de “Adult Braces”, Aham, Roya y West viven juntos en una cabaña que perteneció a los padres de ella. Se declara feliz, aunque con un tono defensivo: “Si crees que me han lavado el cerebro y que en secreto soy infeliz, sinceramente no sé qué decirte”. Pero aunque se tome al pie de la letra su satisfacción, hay un trasfondo inquietante en la situación, uno que sería evidente si el libro fuera una novela y no unas memorias.

A lo largo de “Adult Braces”, West, que ahora tiene 44 años, hace referencia a sus dificultades con la adultez, en ocasiones con una voz deliberadamente infantil. “¡Solo soy un angelito suave que todos quieren!”, escribe en un momento. Describe cómo, al mudarse sola, le costaba cuidar de sí misma: “Cuando tienes 25 años, nadie se enoja si no limpias tu cuarto”. Le embargaron el auto porque olvidó pagar las cuotas. Cuando estaba deprimida, Aham tenía que obligarla a ducharse y a cepillarse el cabello. Se pregunta si es “una mujer que podría discernir sus propios sentimientos o un bebé que necesita que le digan cuándo divorciarse”. Uno de los mejores días del viaje, se tatúa la frase “good girl”.
West parece añorar el cuidado y la simplicidad de la infancia, y al final del libro encuentra una aproximación a eso. De niña, cuenta, quería vivir en la cabaña a tiempo completo, y ahora lo hace. Roya paga las cuentas puntualmente para que no caigan en agencias de cobro y mantiene relaciones con Aham cuando West no quiere. “Me encanta dormir en el cuarto de invitados y meterme en la cama con ellos en la mañana”, escribe West. “Me encanta cuando me arropan y me dejan jugar con el móvil hasta tarde”. Duerme con un gato de peluche. Es como si, sintiéndose lastimada, hubiera optado por retroceder a una etapa infantil.
Tras la publicación del artículo de Agnew, Neeleman grabó un video en el que decía estar sorprendida por haber sido retratada “como oprimida, con mi esposo como el culpable”, y aseguró que adora a su marido y la vida que llevan. Pienso que es posible creerle y también pensar que adaptó sus deseos a los de su esposo, como se les anima a hacer a muchas mujeres. Si West hizo lo mismo, no es culpa del feminismo millennial ni del liberalismo social. La política no siempre puede salvarnos de la necesidad autoaniquiladora de ser amadas, en los términos que sean.
