A group of former state and federal Labor MPs, including Mike Kelly, say Australian authorities must unearth how details from the private chat history of Jewish creative workers ended up in the hands of anti-Zionist activists, or risk the outbreak of violence.

This comes after the Jewish group spoke for the first time about the incident on Tuesday, claiming that a statement by The New York Times about its reporter’s involvement shows the publication knows the identity of the person responsible for the doxxing.
