Following my response to his email requesting I remove my post exposing his antisemitism and terror support, Queensland-based doctor Akil Islam decided to write another email.
I almost spat out my coffee laughing when reading it.
Dear David,
Thanks for your prompt response.
Your readers can get an impartial report on the Israel/Palestine conflict from the United Nations daily at:
(https://www.ochaopt.org/publications)
Perhaps you can reword your 2nd paragraph, it reads very self-contradictory. You use your title containing allegations regarding me as not alleging anything regarding me.
My opinions have always been reflections of the position of international law and the reports of the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, BtSalem, Medicine Sans Frontiers, the Jewish Council of Australia, Amensty International and Human Rights Watch.
I again request your remove the content from your site.

My response:
Dear Akil,
Naa, I’m good. The post will remain online as is.
For the record, there is nothing under international law and the reports of the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, BtSalem (sic), Medicine Sans Frontiers (sic), the Jewish Council of Australia, Amensty (sic) International and Human Rights Watch that sees Hamas as freedom fighters as you constantly imply. Most, if not all, explicitly condemn Hamas terrorism as war crimes. Nor do these bodies make derogatory references to the “Chosen ones” – a dog whistle for Jewish people – and I am pretty sure they do not engage in antisemitic Holocaust comparisons either (not that all of these bodies are credible or objective to begin with, given their huge anti-Israel biases).
By the way, mentioning the Jewish Council of Australia – which reflects the views of a tiny minority of Jews-in-name-only (not to mention their APAN handlers), and are shunned by almost everyone in the Jewish community – does not absolve you from posting antisemitic things. “Some of my best friends are Jewish” is almost as old as antisemitism itself.
David
