    Context: This happened 2 weeks ago. It was a small group of like 20 people in a protest of hundreds. The organiser of the protest condemned them, and asked the police for help removing them. The police declined to help.

    The media keeps covering the like 20 antisemites and ignoring the hundreds of peaceful demonstrators, that the police tried to stop the demonstration going ahead at all, or that the Australian government is uncritically supporting the IDFs genocide.

      Too bad a big chunk of the self-professed supporters don’t actually give a shit about Palestinian civilians at all, they’re just paying lip service because they want an excuse to hate on Jews.

        Don’t like all “pro Palestinia” people do exactly that? If you support the civilians there you don’t run around with a flag that is used by the “government” they have, wich literally started this entire shitshow again and now use the civilians as meat shields…

    I have to wonder how much of these are cherry picked. I don’t know a single pro palestine person who is also a nazi. I think a lot of the “pro palestinian rights = nazi” stuff is really forced and not representative of even .1% of pro palestine people. I mean there was that one huge story of some people at a pro palestine rally with a nazi flag and it turned out to have been photo-shopped

    Please don’t give the idiots a soap box. Supporting Palestinian right to life and territory doesn’t mean you support the destruction of Jews or Israel.

    Believe it or not, people can come together in peace when old racist rich fucks that want power, land, and money stay out of it.

      I don’t think burying this and pretending it didn’t happen is helpful when Jews around the world are telling us right now that they are terrified and under attack

      I think it does need to be acknowledged that there is a faction of people that absolutely do support the destruction of Israel and Jews. Hamas was elected, it should be remembered.

      That absolutely does not mean that support for Palestinian statehood requires you to be opposed to Israel’s existence, but advocates for peace should be very clear that this kind of rhetoric is absolutely not tolerated. And conversely, advocates for Israel must absolutely reject the people that would support the complete removal of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.

      There are extremists on all sides, and genocidal rhetoric must not be tolerated, wherever it comes from.

    Uneducated idiots that never visited a concentration camp and never saw the scratch marks in the walls in the “showers”.

    For the 👇 voters: you’re also a Nazi.
