"The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies filed a letter of complaint to the police, asking them to urgently investigate comments allegedly made by Muzeyyen during her performance."
"Ossip referred to Muzeyyen's onstage use of the terms 'long live the resistance' and 'glory to all our martyrs', which could be seen as advocating terrorism."
"The term 'Zio' is a derogatory term directed at Zionists in Australia and is commonly used as a pejorative reference to Jewish people who support the existence of Israel."
"Ossip asked New South Wales Police to refer the matter to the Australian Federal Police for consideration under the relevant terrorism offences contained in the Criminal Code."
A police investigation has been launched following allegations of antisemitism at the Sydney Biennale's opening night. The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies filed a complaint regarding comments made by DJ Haram, which they allege advocate terrorism. The complaint cites phrases like "long live the resistance" and "glory to all our martyrs" as problematic. Additionally, a statement made by Muzeyyen referring to the "Zio-Australian-Epstein empire" is described as derogatory towards Zionists and Jewish supporters of Israel.
