Leavitt made the remark while defending U.S. munitions stockpiles during Operation Epic Fury, a U.S.-Israeli campaign that has hit over 2,000 Iranian targets including its navy and nuclear sites.

Victoria's Civil and Administrative Tribunal found that Tayeh contravened the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act by prompting the chant at a March 23, 2025, pro-Palestine rally in Melbourne's CBD. Judge My Anh Tran examined video evidence and context, including antisemitic placards and other chants, determining that ordinary listeners would link 'Zionists' strongly to Jews and feel incited to hatred. The case was brought by Jewish counter-protester Menachem Vorchheimer; no penalties yet, with a hearing set for March 25 to decide remedies like an apology. Tayeh plans to appeal, calling it punishment for speaking out, while Jewish groups welcome the clarity on free speech limits.

Key Takeaway

Thousands chanted 'All Zionists are terrorists' at a 2025 Melbourne rally, led by activist Hash Tayeh. Now a tribunal has ruled it crossed into unlawful vilification of Jewish people.
