SYDNEY: Australia has canceled the visa of an Israeli influencer who campaigns against Islam, saying it will not accept visitors who come to spread hatred. Sammy Yahood, who has commented on social media that Islam is a “disgusting ideology,” said Monday his visa was canceled three hours before his flight departed from Israel. Yahood flew to Abu Dhabi anyway, but was blocked from getting his connecting flight. “This is a story about tyranny, censorship and control,” he posted on X.
