Australian charities bankrolling Israeli warcrimes? | The West Report

by | Jan 23, 2026 | The West Report

Are you subsidising Israel and the IDF? Australian charities are meant to relieve suffering, not cause it.

A growing list of Australian registered charities has been identified by Michael West Media which funnels money to entities in Israel linked to the IDF and illegal West Bank settlements. They enjoy tax concessions in Australia, including in some cases Public Benevolent Institution status. 

We look at how the media covers the Israel lobby, the power of the lobby over mainstream media, and the rushed introduction of the Hate Speech laws. #auspol #israel #freespeech
