Ammon News - A fill-in radio presenter for the ABC has been axed after sharing a series of pro-Palestine posts on social media.
A spokesperson for the national broadcaster told Daily Mail Australia that 'ABC Sydney casual presenter Antoinette Lattouf will not be back on air for her remaining two shifts this week.'
It's understood Lattouf's posts about the conflict in the Middle East, which were on various online platforms, breached the ABC's social media policies.
'I am very disappointed by the ABC's decision today,' she said.
'I believe I was terminated unlawfully. This is not a win for journalism or fair, critical thinking.'
In a post from November Lattouf wrote: 'We need a PERMANENT ceasefire and to address the ROOT of the problem - unlawful occupation of Palestine'.
In a video posted to Instagram in October, Latouff attempted an analysis of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, and called both Hamas and the Israeli government 'extremists'.
She called for the mourning of all civilian life lost in the conflict and for the condemnation of anti-Arab and anti-Semitic rhetoric, but added: 'You can and should condemn illegal military occupation of Palestine that’s been happening for 75 years.'
'You can and should remember human rights organisation internationally and in Israel have called the occupation “apartheid",' she said.
'You can and should speak out against the occupation of Palestine — because that is the root of all of this'.
She wrote that she had turned comments off on the post to 'limit hate speech'.
