Zionist fight club-charity removed by police from Palestine rally in Melbourne.

Nearly every public appearance by this club becomes violent. On Sunday they got physical with cops. Their 2 co-founders were arrested face down on the pavement.

After decades of struggle in Israel, dozens of African Hebrew Israelites face deportation The African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem made their way to Israel from the United States in the 1960s.

There's a similar group down in Campbelltown, NSW and another one in Dimona, Israel.

If you find anything more about that Footscray group please DM me! I would love to write about it.

You probably should have read the article and checked the sources inside it. Not all charities are registered with ACNC
