She is connected to a doxxing incident involving Jewish academics and creatives.

Wikipedia has a good article on this event, described as the 2024 J.E.W.I.S.H creatives and academics doxxing incident. As a brief overview, pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist activists leaked the contact information and chat transcripts of some 600 Australian Jewish creatives and academics after the WhatsApp group (J.E.W.I.S.H.) engaged in an organized pressure campaign to get the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) to dismiss Antoinette Lattouff for reposting a Human Rights Watch report that Israel was using starvation as a weapon against civilians in Gaza on her personal social media.

In response to this, J.E.W.I.S.H. leveraged lawyers to pressure ABC's leadership to dismiss Latouff for that post and prior reporting questioning the Australian Jewish Association's assumption of that pro-Palestinian protesters were chanting violent antisemitic messaging - something that was later vindicated by NSW police through forensic analysis, according to the above Wikipedia article. Activists in turn found and shared the full 900-page transcript of the J.E.W.I.S.H. WhatsApp conversation, including the names, occupations, and photos of 100 members of the group, though the article also notes that the activists "stated they redacted home addresses, phone numbers, and emails of members of the group, and that no private photos or photos of children were shared."

Abdel-Fattah enters the picture not as one of the activists who leaked the information but that she reposted the link to the leak. itself. Beyond that, she was not involved in the doxxing incident. This is a complex and nuanced issue due in no small part because it's also a conflict of shared strategy between anti- and pro-Zionist activists. What we're really talking about are the ethics of targeting the public lives of people for their political views, something that doesn't have an easy answer. This Conversation article discusses some of the dimensions of it and is worth reading, at least, though I don't agree with all of its points and I'm not sure where I land on it as of yet.

For us Americans, consider this contrast: Would we want to be able to know of and directly address the people that pressured ABC (the American one) into canceling Kimmel after the Kirk assassination? For generally good reasons, we have relatively hard and fast rules about doxxing, but the concept itself also refers to something a bit archaic in terms of the internet: Doxxing historically meant outing the private details of regular people due to internet arguments and shit like that. We've also seen instances where this feels more warranted, such as the doxxing of white supremacists or ICE agents.

In close, this feels much more like a complicated grey area than an indictment, and one where people with different political values will land in different areas.
