The prominent Melbourne activist currently on bail for kidnapping and assault charges has been identified as 27-year-old pro-Palestine campaigner Laura Allam.

Ms Allam is the CEO of Al Jannah Foundation, a non-profit that aims to “raise Lebanon back to its feet” and has drawn the outrage of Jewish groups in recent months for publicly celebrating the deaths of Israelis in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Now, it can be revealed that police allege last month Ms Allam messaged a man via WhatsApp to meet for dinner before orchestrating his violent kidnapping and torture with the help of three accomplices.

How surprising that someone who celebrates other people being killed by terrorists, should turn out to be (allegedly) capable of also inflicting violence on an innocent.

The unmasking of one of Victoria’s leading pro-Palestine protestors as an alleged violent kidnapper comes just weeks after Ms Allam served as a guest speaker at the Palestine to Parliament protest in Canberra alongside Green Senators David Shoebridge, Jordan Steele-John and Mehreen Faruqi.

Ms Allam also posed for photos alongside Senator Faruqi after the event that were published on Instagram.

They may not have known of the kidnapping and torture at the time, but they did know she celebrates the deaths of civilians.

Earlier this month, Sky News Australia host Sharri Markson revealed she received death threats from followers of an anti-Israel activist from Melbourne, now identified as Ms Allam.

Ms Markson said the police and ASIO were repeatedly warned about Ms Allam after she published numerous social media posts about individuals in the Jewish community.

Markson, who is Jewish, reported the disturbing threats to police and Sky News has employed private security to ensure the host and her family’s safety.

Allan seems such a lovely person.
