Video appearing to incite violence ahead of Israel rally removed from TikTok
Clip posted by 19-year-old Australian Muslim features a poster for the rally, with a caption reading: “If you’re from Victoria, Australia, you know what to do.”
A video appearing to incite violence ahead of a pro-Israel rally on Sunday has been removed from social media.
The clip, which has now been removed, was posted by a 19-year-old called Nayla bint Muhamed.
It features the poster for the rally at the weekend with a caption reading: “If you’re from Victoria, Australia, you know what to do.”
She also performs a hand gesture in the clip, which features Islamic music playing in the background. According to some sources the music, entitled Dawlat al-Islam Qamat, is related to Islamic State.
Before being taken down, it received more than 75,000 views, according to the Australian Jewish News (AJN).
The AJN reported several of the comments incited violence, including: “I’m pulling up with AK-47s”, “Should we get the IEDs? [improvised explosive devices]”, “We coming to burn their flags”, “Who’s trying to shoot?” and “Soon Inshallah”.
A Victoria Police spokesperson said Sunday’s rally would have “a visible presence in the area to ensure there is no breach of the peace and provide community safety,”
Local Jewish and pro-Israel activists sought to reassure members of the community.
One of the rally organisers, Yossi Goldfarb, who is president of Zionism Victoria, saying it would still go ahead, and that “all measures have been taken to make sure everyone is protected and safe”.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
