Australian City Council Removes Teen Volunteer From Website Over Palestine Necklace
December 15, 2025
A teenage volunteer stepped up to serve her community.
She gave her time. Her energy. Her heart.
But Melbourne’s Bayside Council erased her from its website and magazine —
because she wore a necklace with the Palestinian flag.
Instead of celebrating young people who volunteer,
the council chose censorship.
Instead of inclusion, it chose fear.
Instead of supporting a student, it silenced her.
Stand with Zaina.
Stand with every young person punished for their identity.
