Context onwhat the “doxxing” actually entailed and why it happened.

What was shared was a leaked chat transcript demonstrating the coordinated efforts of many working to silence support for Palestinian liberation.

The transcript clearly demonstrates collective actions taken to contact employers, funding bodies, publishers and journalists to censure anyone deemed to be a threat to zionist ideology. Some of these efforts were successful, the firing of Antoinette Lattouf being but one example.

Basically, they were running harassment campaigns out of a chat that used real names and someone leaked it.

Working on reading up on this.

Saw some news articles claiming the group was 'Zionist', so I was interested in getting an idea what they were talking about in the transcript.

This is the closest I've gotten so far- possibly trying to get an ABC journalist fired for sharing posts covering attrocities against Palestinians. also doesn't sound like a support group or something, but a pro-Israel lobbying group (post that inked to it)

That's also only one piece covering it, though.

I'm against doxxing people for silencing individuals, but hearing it was a chat of a bunch of pro-Israel lobbyists does not make me sympathetic, and makes me question how this law will be implemented.

Addendum: blog posted in r/JewsofConscience talking about the transcript Comment from the post States all names and information were redacted before the transcript was published, and that the group existed solely for astroturfing.

Addendum: this article from Jan 16 last year seems to confirm that this group pressed legal action to get the ABC journalist sacked, with actual excerpts in it. The names are not censored which seems to go against the Reddit comment saying any identifying info being redacted.

People using Israel's horrific conduct in Gaza as an excuse to harass Jews are the same kind of scum as the people who pretend all Palestinians are responsible for the Oct 7 attack.

"Why does Israel keep calling all their critics anti-Semites?!?!!"

Because racist idiots keep giving them ammo (in more ways than one)
