Kassem Chalabi is a Palestinian-Australian Muslim and the chief executive of the Palestinian Australians Welfare Association (PAWA). Based in Sydney, he has been an advocate for Palestinian rights and has actively spoken out against what he perceives as racial and religious vilification. Recently, he lodged a complaint against the Australian Jewish Association, alleging that their social media posts incited hatred and contempt towards Palestinians and Muslims, particularly in the context of the ongoing suffering in Gaza.
