Australia cancels visa of Israeli influencer

Sydney [Australia], January 28: Australia has cancelled the visa of an Israeli social media influencer who has campaigned against Islam, saying it will not accept visitors to the country who come to spread hatred.
Australian Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke said in a statement on Tuesday that "spreading hatred is not a good reason to come" to Australia, hours after influencer Sammy Yahood announced that his visa was cancelled three hours before his flight departed from Israel.
Just hours before his visa was cancelled, Yahood had written on X, "Islam ACCORDING TO ISLAM does not tolerate non-believers, apostates, women's rights, children's rights, or gay rights."He also referred to Islam as a "disgusting ideology" and an "aggressor". Australia tightened its hate crime laws earlier this month in response to a mass shooting at a Jewish celebration at Sydney's Bondi Beach, which left 15 people dead. (Agencies)
