The chair of a New South Wales inquiry investigating whether to criminalise the phrase “globalise the intifada” says his draft report will recommend the controversial slogan be banned, as leading Jewish groups also demand “from the river to the sea” and “death to the IDF” be prohibited.

Labor MP Edmond Atalla said the state parliamentary inquiry into “measures to prohibit slogans that incite hatred” would not publish individual submissions. The inquiry closed to public submissions last week and will not hold any public hearings.
