Angry pro-Palestine protesters marched to the Sydney Opera House on Monday and appeared to chant “gas the Jews” and “f— the Jews,” according to an Australian media report.
The protesters also lit off flares, according to Sky News Australia.
A video of part of the protest, which began peacefully earlier in the day, was posted to X – formerly known as Twitter – by the Australian Jewish Association.
This is just disgusting behaviour. No one should ever be calling for genocide, regardless of any circumstances. Also, why are all Jewish people being conflated with the Israeli government? Jews outside Israel have no power over its government, and even Israelis had to go through some five hung elections to get Netanyahu back in power, indicating that he clearly has less than 50% of the country’s support.
Now if they had been shouting “fuck Bibi” or “end the occupation” or “no more genocide against Palestine” I’d be right there with them. These idiots have no fucking clue how to garner support, so all they’re doing is giving Israel more moral high-ground. Goddamn Nazis need to learn some physical consequences.
I feel like you can be pro-palestine without being antisemitic…
Nobody here read the article, don’t take the rate bait. This was a small group of idiots in a larger protest. The organisers quickly shut them down and made it clear this was not welcome.
Some protestors said the quiet part our loud.
This is instead of answering multiple people:
Hamas is an anti-Semitic terror organization (not anti Israeli). You can’t really separate between Hamas and Gaza citizens because Hamas controls Gaza. Hamas has day camps for children (in order to brainwash them from a young age), they have TV shows, radio channels, etc…
Mein kampf is a best seller in Palestine (see the comments and other links accept the answer).
Mein kampf was translated to Arabic in the 1930s and it’s still spread in some countries in order to create anti semitism (of course), and it’s not just in Muslim countries.
Hamas don’t give a toss about Palestinians, they want to please Iran and Qatar.
What? Mein Kampf has dislodged Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
News channels published that Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza only 5 minutes after it happened without any evidence or fact checking. Then they found out that it’s actually a failed missile that was launched from the cemetery behind the hospital by the Islamic jihad. Some of them still haven’t apologized and the BBC refuse to call Hamas terrorists. And people still think the jews control the media…
it’s really hard to have sympathy for Palestine when these are their cheerleaders
It’s easy to have sympathy for Palestine; it’s very difficult to have sympathy for Hamas.
Anyone cheering on Hamas is promoting crimes against humanity which is objectively abhorrent. Anyone who cares for the Palestinian people caught up in the conflict just has functioning empathy.
Oh are those these poor poor™ Palestinian people that Lemmy keeps telling me are poor victims? And that they definitely are oppressed and don’t support Hamas and are not antisemitic?
Those people are worse than animals. I hope they all get deported to Gaza. Fuck Palestine. Terror people.
Because every situation is right or wrong and there’s absolutely no nuance or grey area…
Wasn’t aware calling for gas chambers was some grey area shit
The whole Israel/Palestine thing is gonna be the media’s wedge issue of the week, isn’t it?
