The Australian Jewish Association (AJA) is calling on Bendigo’s chamber of commerce, Be.Bendigo, to dump activist Grace Tame as a key speaker at its International Women’s Day event on Feb. 27.

The AJA’s move comes after Tame was scrutinised for appearing at a pro-Palestine rally against visiting Israeli President Isaac Herzog, and chanting the phrase, “From Gadigal (Sydney) to Gaza, globalise the intifada.”
