For the Australians here to be aware of if they're not already.

My name is at the top of a list in a document released by the Israeli government earlier this month to draw false associations between the Bondi Beach shooting and online criticism of Israel and its atrocities.
The PowerPoint document released by Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Anti-Semitism is titled “Delegitimization and Anti-Semitism in Australia – a snapshot from October to December 2025” and its claims were quoted by Israeli media such as Ynet News.
Page five of the document is titled “Actors: Leading Perpetrators of Anti-Semitism and Delegitimization in Australia,” where the name Caitlin Johnstone is listed at the top of a column titled “Active Influencers and Content Creators,” organized by number of followers. Page seven describes me as an “anti-Western blogger who promotes conspiracies and the complete delegitimization of Israel.”
The word “delegitimization” appears throughout the document, which I personally find funny. They knew that the “anti-Semitism” claim couldn’t stand on its own, so they had to tackle this weird additional complaint about people “delegitimizing” the state of Israel – as if that were a bad thing. I will always deny that I have hatred for Jews or Judaism, but I will readily admit that I am trying to delegitimize a genocidal apartheid state that cannot exist without incessant violence and abuse.
The document attempts to argue that there was an epidemic of anti-Semitic “hate speech” online in the two months before the Bondi attack, and absurdly insinuates that those of us who criticized Israel and its abuses during that period incited two ISIS types to commit an act of terrorism. As if ISIS was just a bunch of cuddly teddy bears until some Australian influencers tweeted mean things about Israel.
Page 14 of the document is entitled “Examples of recent hate speech in the two months before the attack: Selected anti-Semitic tweets on X: Caitlin Johnstone” and consists of two tweets. You can tell whoever collected them was just doing an advanced search for specific keywords of the people on their list because the word “Jewish” is highlighted in one of their screenshot tweets, meaning they had to scroll past the many tweets I've created over the years that would contradict the anti-Semitism narrative they're trying to build.
The first tweet is from August 6 this year and includes a screenshot from journalist Owen Jones, who notes that only 6.7 percent of Israeli Jews surveyed told pollsters that they were “very concerned” about reports of hunger and suffering in Gaza. I captioned the screenshot as follows:
“Poll after poll shows that Jewish Israelis are terrible people, quantifiably more cruel and immoral than just about any other population. At a certain point, you have to stop believing that the polls could be wrong and realize that the only real mistake is Israel.”
Note that I didn’t say “Jews,” but “Jewish Israelis.” Survey after survey shows that Israeli Jews are indeed terrible people who have sociopathic attitudes toward Palestinians, because that's what happens when you're the privileged group in an apartheid state. White South Africans were also terrible people during South African apartheid. There cannot be apartheid without indoctrinating the public to view the disempowered groups as less powerful than the empowered group. That this is the case says nothing about Jews or Judaism; This is exactly how apartheid works.
The second tweet is from October 6th this year and reads as follows:
“Someone who is truly and sincerely concerned about a rise in anti-Semitism will oppose the mass murder of children under the Star of David banner by a state that claims to represent all Jews, while Jewish billionaires buy up media outlets to silence criticism of that state, and Jewish oligarchs openly buy off the president of the most powerful government in the world to ensure that that state’s atrocities are facilitated.”
I guess this would look anti-Semitic if you didn't know that every single part of it was completely true. Israel has actually slaughtered children en masse and actually has a Star of David on its flag. Indeed, Israel claims to represent all Jews when it argues that criticism of Israel is hateful toward every Jew. In fact, Larry Ellison's family has bought up media platforms like CBS, where evil Zionist Bari Weiss took charge, and taken control of TikTok after Congress forced the sale to stamp out criticism of Israel. In fact, President Donald Trump has repeatedly admitted that he is controlled by mega-donor Miriam Adelson, the richest Israeli in the world. This dynamic may indeed contribute to anti-Semitism in very real ways. I didn’t create that dynamic. Zionists did.
This is the Israeli government's best argument that Australians like me instigated the Bondi attack. I tweeted about genocide and apartheid, and it violently radicalized a father and son in Sydney, who then apparently invented some kind of time machine and traveled back to 2019 to join ISIS. This is their strongest case.
If you've been wondering why I'm writing so much about the Bondi Beach shooting, this is why. It is being used to justify an aggressive attack on freedom of speech and assembly in Australia, and this attack is being done at the vigorous urging of the Australian Israel lobby and the Israeli government, which is now going so far as to compile official public lists of Australians it deems guilty of dangerously bad decisions.
Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Countering Anti-Semitism also put together a full-page profile on me and my work in a publication in September entitled “Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism in Australia – Key Influencing Factors, Incidents, Groups and Trends”, which I'm just copying and pasting here because it makes me look great:
Caitlin Johnstone, an Australian independent journalist and political commentator. Her writings often describe Israel as a “genocidal apartheid state” and a “settler-colonial project” that perpetuates systemic violence and oppression. She argues that Israel's actions are not isolated incidents, but part of a broader strategy to maintain dominance over the Palestinians.
On her social media platforms, Caitlin Johnstone often shares strongly anti-Israel content related to the ongoing war in Gaza, while largely refraining from criticizing Hamas. In an April 15, 2025 post, she dismissed concerns about Israelis feeling unsafe, suggesting instead that her unease stemmed from a sense of guilt over what she described as a “genocide” in Gaza.
In an April 7, 2025 Instagram post, Johnstone appeared to indirectly justify the October 7 Hamas attack by stating that “Hamas had succeeded in revealing the true face of the empire.” It continued to highlight alleged Israeli actions in Gaza since the attack, but stopped short of any acknowledgment of the massacre carried out by Hamas.
The profile also contains some hard-hitting tweets I've made, such as: “Being a liberal Israel supporter these days probably feels like being the defense attorney for an accused murderer who won't keep his mouth shut about how much he loves murdering.”
I'm not going to lie, I take all the attention I get from Israel as a compliment. Landing at the top of Israel's enemies list is certainly more of an endorsement that I'm doing the right thing than winning some crappy Western “journalism” award like a Pulitzer ever would.
But I'm also not going to act like Miss Tough Girl and at the same time pretend that it doesn't scare me that this murderous ethnostate has its eye on me. Israel is so incredibly creepy.
Anyway, I guess I'll just take this opportunity to remind everyone that I'm a solely crowdfunded author. So if you enjoy watching me antagonize the Israeli government, you can always throw a few coins into my hat to fund my little operation here. Also, we would like to remind you that the best way to ensure that you see everything I publish is to subscribe to my free mailing list, which is always 100 percent free, whether you become a paying patron or not.
Thank you for joining me on this bizarre adventure
