Recent comments by the chairman of the Australian Arabic Council, Roland Jabbour, defame the Jewish People, B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) chairman John Searle was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the ADC on Monday.

Jabbour's comments came after Jewish community leaders urged the Australian government and the national broadcasting authority to block the transmission of al-Manar, which twice has been stopped from broadcasting into Australia.

The new broadcasts come from a satellite company that is partly owned by the Indonesian government.

The station broadcasts vehemently anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and anti-American vitriol, as well as messages from suicide bombers.
