Australian police have uncovered a hoax involving a fake terror plot against the Jewish community in Sydney, which was orchestrated by organized crime groups. The plot, initially perceived as an antisemitic attack, involved a fabricated plan to use a van filled with explosives to instill fear and divert law enforcement resources. Authorities stated that the criminals aimed to exploit the situation for personal gain, with no real danger posed to the community. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) faced criticism for allegedly mishandling the investigation and being misled by the criminals involved. This revelation comes amid ongoing discussions about antisemitism in Australia, with some claiming that the hoax was used to push through stricter laws and policies against critics of Israel. The police confirmed that none of the 14 individuals arrested in connection with the hoax exhibited any antisemitic ideology, indicating that the narrative surrounding the incident was fabricated.
