The protesters also lit off flares, according to Sky News Australia

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.

    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.

    I feel like you can be pro-palestine without being antisemitic…

      Just like you can be anti-Hamas without being anti-Palestine or pro-Israel.

      As with virtually any war, the problems here are two relatively small groups of people with radical ideas that are enforcing their will upon millions of innocent people.

      These people only hate Jewish people. If they had any love for Palestine they wouldn’t be fanning this flame.

        The people chanting ‘gas the Jews’, absolutely. No question about it.

        But the majority of folks that support Palestine are not antisemitic.

    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.

        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…

          Guess you must be a big 9/11 supporter then. Since the US government controls the country and indoctrinates its children, there’s basically no difference between civilians and the military. Great logic there.

    I’m sure these people can expect a visit from the Australian Federal Police pretty quickly. Australia still has some tough antiterrorism/national-security laws on the books that could be used to put them in a deep, dark (or constantly fluorescent-lit) hole they won’t emerge from.
