Greg, you’re making yourself look foolish. Before throwing around stereotypes and misinformation, it might be worth spending 30 seconds checking the facts. Fact 1: Musa is simply the Arabic name for Moses. Moses is one of the most important figures in Judaism and was the leader and prophet of the Israelites. The name Musa has been used by Jews, Christians, and Muslims for centuries throughout the Middle East. Claiming someone must be Muslim because their name is Musa only demonstrates a lack of basic historical knowledge. Fact 2: Habib Musa is Catholic. A quick look at his public social media would confirm that. You didn’t even bother to verify the most basic fact before making your claim. This is the problem with prejudice and assumptions. People stop looking for facts and start repeating whatever fits their narrative. Repeating a lie a hundred times doesn’t magically turn it into the truth. It just means you’ve repeated a lie a hundred times.

My home was firebombed. My business was firebombed. People celebrated it publicly. I was the one charged. What does that tell you about the system? This isn’t about whether you agree with me. It’s about whether justice applies equally to everyone. Read the facts. Ask questions. Think for yourself. Because when truth becomes dangerous, silence becomes complicity. They want silence. I choose truth. If you believe justice should never depend on your race, religion, background, or political beliefs, share this. The louder they try to silence people, the more important it becomes to speak. #Justice #HumanRights #FreedomOfSpeech #Australia

Surely any reasonable person would find this concerning. The obsession is real. By my count, around 90% of @MenachemV Instagram content in this carousel revolves around me. Not a cause, not a movement, not a community issue. Me. At some point, people need to ask themselves whether this level of fixation is healthy. Spending this much time, energy, and attention on one individual is not normal behaviour. It’s obsessive, it’s concerning, and quite frankly, it’s literally crazy. Surely this isn’t legal by any means.

Congratulations @MenachemV Imagine dedicating years of your life to stopping a message, only to become one of the biggest reasons it spread. Imagine spending countless hours, resources and energy trying to silence someone, only to give them a bigger microphone. Some achievements deserve recognition. This is one of them. Read the post.

TRUTH MATTERS. Yesterday, four criminal charges against me were dismissed. A fifth charge remains before the court and will be argued separately on constitutional grounds. Yet within hours, people were already trying to rewrite the outcome, blur the facts, and push a narrative that simply doesn’t match reality. You don’t have to agree with me. You don’t have to like me. But facts should still matter. In an age where misinformation spreads faster than truth, integrity means reporting what actually happened, not what you wish had happened. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read beyond the headlines, examine the facts for themselves, and stand for fairness regardless of politics. The fight for truth, justice, and free expression continues. @MenachemV #TruthMatters #Justice #FreeSpeech #Melbourne #Australia #HashTayeh #FactsOverPropaganda

Commenting on a sub judice proceeding - especially a criminal proceeding and especially by falsely asserting the accused is or has already been found guilty - is potential contempt of court.

Today is a reminder of why facts matter. For months, many people rushed to label, condemn, and misrepresent what this case was actually about. Narratives were pushed. Headlines were written. Assumptions were made. Yet when the evidence was tested in a court of law, four of the five charges were dismissed. The reality is simple. Truth does not become false because it is unpopular, and misinformation does not become fact because it is repeated often enough. In an age where outrage travels faster than evidence, there is a responsibility on all of us to be accurate, ethical, and honest. Deliberately misleading the public, misrepresenting court outcomes, or selectively omitting facts may win a few social media points, but it does nothing to serve justice or public discourse. The court’s ruling speaks for itself. Four charges. Four not guilty findings. One remaining charge has been adjourned for a constitutional argument on the implied freedom of political communication and has not yet been determined. Whether people agree with me or disagree with me is their right. What is not acceptable is the deliberate distortion of facts to push an agenda. Truth matters. Accuracy matters. Integrity matters. And today, the facts won.

Today was an important day in Court. Despite the public commentary, speculation, and attempts by some observers to prematurely declare victory, the reality is that I was acquitted of four out of the five charges brought against me. The fifth and final charge was not determined today. It has been adjourned for a constitutional argument to be heard in late July. No finding of guilt has been made in relation to that charge. That is the actual outcome. Unfortunately, within minutes of proceedings concluding, social media posts began circulating claiming that I had been found “criminally guilty”, “criminally and civilly guilty”. None of those claims accurately reflect what occurred in Court today. People are entitled to their opinions. They are not entitled to their own facts. In an increasingly polarised environment, misinformation spreads quickly, particularly when it confirms what people wish to believe. That is why it is so important that public commentary about legal proceedings remains faithful to the actual outcome rather than political narratives, personal agendas, or wishful thinking. The Court acquitted me of four charges. The remaining charge remains before the Court and will be the subject of a constitutional argument in late July. I have always maintained that matters before the Court should be determined by evidence, law, and due process, not social media campaigns. I respect the Court’s role and will continue to participate in that process. The public deserves facts, not spin. I encourage everyone to rely on the actual court record and the Court’s findings rather than commentary from individuals who appear more interested in shaping a narrative than accurately reporting the truth. Truth matters. Accuracy matters. Due process matters.

Final submissions and arguments are now complete. Everything has been said. Every argument has been made. Every piece of evidence has been put before the Court. At 3PM today, the Magistrate will hand down his decision in this landmark case. No matter the outcome, I stand proud knowing we never backed down, never stayed silent, and never allowed fear, pressure, threats or censorship to dictate our beliefs. For those wanting to watch live online, the hearing will be in Court Room 21 via Webex. Court AVL Link mcv.vic.gov.au/going-court/a… Search for today’s Melbourne Court listings and Court Room 21. See you all at 3PM.

Bismillah. Today, men will argue, evidence will be tested, and submissions will be made. But my trust is not in the courtroom. My trust is in Allah. If I am upon the truth, may Allah make it clear. If I have been wronged, may Allah deliver justice. If this trial is a test, may Allah give me the strength to endure it with dignity. No matter the outcome, I will walk into that courtroom with my head held high, knowing that truth does not fear scrutiny. Justice belongs to Allah, and He is the best of judges.

Tomorrow, my legal team and the police prosecution will stand before a magistrate and make their final submissions in what has become one of the most significant free speech cases in Australia. For almost two years, I’ve faced investigations, arrests, public attacks, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs over a statement the authorities decided was worthy of prosecution. Tomorrow, the arguments end. The prosecution will make its final submissions. My legal team will make theirs. Then the magistrate will decide. Win, lose, or draw, I am proud that we stood our ground, refused to be silenced, and forced a national conversation that many wanted buried. History will judge all of us. Tomorrow is bigger than me. Tomorrow is about where the line between political speech and criminal prosecution truly sits. Pray for us. See you in court.

The moment Hash Tayeh walks out of one case another is filed. This isn’t human rights protection — it’s lawfare designed to silence and financially exhaust critics. The AHRC can terminate frivolous complaints. They should be doing exactly that

1. Hash says Zionists use courts to intimidate 2. Menachem sues Hash and reinforces said fact 😂

How can anyone watch a video like this and still deny that Zionism is a vehicle for oppression and terror? Hearing an Australian woman’s voice while watching her be manhandled by Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israeli forces genuinely made me sick to my core. These were activists attempting to break a blockade and deliver aid to starving civilians in Gaza Strip. They were not armed. They were not a threat. Yet they were treated with force and intimidation for trying to show humanity. How can any decent person defend this? The Australian Government must take a stand and expel the Israeli ambassador. Silence in the face of oppression is complicity. Demand their release.

One year ago, when I first stood on the steps of the Magistrates’ Court surrounded by cameras, I said this case would become a platform to expose Zionism and the realities surrounding it. Today, that is exactly what has happened. In open court, under oath and on the public record, discussions were heard about the history of Zionism, political violence, terrorism, the broader geopolitical context of Palestine, and the distinction between legitimate political debate designed to silence dissent. The same system that tried to criminalise political speech has now been forced to examine the very ideology and historical context they wanted quarantined from public discussion. For over a year, I have faced prosecution, media attacks, censorship, threats, financial destruction, and relentless pressure simply for speaking passionately about Palestine and opposing injustice. Yet despite all of that, we did not bow down. This was never just about me. This was always about protecting the right to speak, protest, resist intimidation, and stand for oppressed people without fear. Win, lose, or draw, history will remember who stood firm when it mattered most. Palestine will never be silenced.

As I sit in the courtroom today, listening to the prosecution and my defence argue my fate before a magistrate, they begin playing videos from the rallies to show what I supposedly did wrong to justify my arrest and prosecution. But in all sincerity, as those videos play, all I see is passion, empathy, and love for humanity. I see someone standing up for what they believe in without fear. And truthfully, watching it all back only makes me feel proud of myself.

For over a year, Victoria Police and sections of the media attempted to paint me as an antisemite. Now, in open court, police have formally abandoned any claim that I am motivated by antisemitism. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, after endless headlines, after attempts to destroy my name, reputation and livelihood, the case has now narrowed to one question. Whether political words spoken at a protest were “insulting”. This is no longer the case they sold to the public. Even the court has now ruled that police cannot rely on unrelated chants like “intifada” or “from the river to the sea” to poison the context against me. Why? Because justice is supposed to be based on evidence, not emotion, politics, or public hysteria. What is happening here goes far beyond me. This case is testing the limits of political expression, protest, and free speech in Australia. You do not have to agree with me to understand how dangerous it is when governments attempt to criminalise political slogans, historical debate, and dissent. History matters. Context matters. Truth matters. And despite everything they’ve thrown at me, I’m still standing.
