Weird list, appears to include both antisemitic and anti Zionist events, and even includes the fake caravan bomb?

The caravan hoax is still antisemitic regardless of who orchestrated it and for what purposes.

Why would the article posted claim it's explicitly not a hoax?

[–] spiffmeister@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But the article has:

In March, the then AFP deputy commissioner, Krissy Barrett, who took over as commissioner in October, announced police were confident the caravan was a “fake terrorism plot” and a “criminal con job” allegedly orchestrated by organised criminals.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it should be in here, but the article does state the AFP thought it was a hoax.

Yeah it's pretty confusing journalism, I'd even say purposely deceiving

I don't understand what you're asking.
