NSW Supreme Court: Anti-Israel Graffiti Miscategorised as Antisemitic, Causing 'Serious Miscarriage of Justice'

NSW Supreme Court Justice Desmond Fagan ruled on August 19, 2026 that graffiti reading "Fuk Israel" was "a curse against a foreign state," not antisemitic speech. The mischaracterisation cascaded from an aggravated sentence through parole revocation to a failed terrorism supervision application. Counterterrorism police knew within three weeks of arrest that Mohommed Farhat was recruited, not ideologically motivated — but never shared that with prosecutors or the sentencing magistrate.
