Avraham Shalom Yemini (Шаблон:Ne Waks; born 17 October 1985) is an Australian-Israeli far-right political activist. He has worked for Rebel News since 2020, and currently works as its Australian Bureau Chief.

Early life

Yemini was born in Melbourne Victoria to Zephaniah (formerly Stephen) and Hava Waks, and grew up in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda East. He is one of seventeen children. One of his elder siblings is Manny Waks.

Military career

Yemini served with the Golani Brigade in the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) from 2005 until 2008. Most of his active duty was spent along the border of the Gaza Strip.

Activities

After returning to Australia, Yemini opened his first IDF gym in Caulfield, Victoria followed by a second in Melbourne's CBD in 2016. In 2018, the gyms were sold to a private buyer.

One of his brothers, Manny Waks, sued Yemini for defamation following claims by Yemini that Waks and their father were harbouring a known paedophile in the family home.

On 4 March 2018, Yemini joined the Australian Liberty Alliance to run as a candidate for the Southern Metropolitan Region at the 2018 Victorian state election. He was unsuccessful, receiving 0.49% of the vote.

In July 2019, Yemini admitted he threw a chopping board that hit his former wife on her forehead. He also pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to harass by sending abusive text messages to her, and one charge of breaching an intervention order relating to a video of a man. Yemini's lawyer argued he did not mean to hit her.

In 2021, Yemini took legal action against three Victorian parliamentary officials − including former Legislative Assembly speaker Colin Brooks − after he was denied media accreditation in July of that year. Yemini subsequently lost the case.

In 2023 he sued Facebook fact-checkers RMIT for labeling Rebel News content as "misleading". The case was dismissed as he had "failed to make any formal inquiries via appropriate channels with relevant persons".
