Unlawful behaviour based on racial hatred
by William Haddad and Al Madina Dawah

Centre Incorporated

Following action by Peter Wertheim AM and Robert Goot AO SC, Jewish members of the
Australian community and officeholders in the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, the
Federal Court of Australia has declared that William Haddad and Al Madina Dawah Centre
Incorporated contravened section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) by
making and publishing three lectures in a series titled “The Jews of Al Medina” which
were reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate Jewish members of the
Australian community and which were made and published because of the Jewish race or
ethnic origin.

The lectures were made and published on the Al Madina Dawah Centre’s Rumble page in
November 2023.

The Federal Court of Australia found that the speeches included numerous statements
which, by disparaging the Jewish people as a whole and repeating racist stereotypes about
them, contravened the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth).

The Federal Court of Australia ordered William Haddad and the Al Madina Dawah Centre
to remove the offending speeches and not to repeat or continue such unlawful behaviour
and to pay the applicants' costs oftheproceeding.
