Condemned unequivocally by both sides of politics. Police are examining the footage to identify protestors.
Sydney has a very large Lebanese population.

(18,785 posts)The police are looking at the footage.
Unlike the US, hate speech is punishable here.

(18,785 posts)It appears that you have extrapolated support for the mob. Did I say they were less vile? Did I?

My reaction was to your qualification that Sydney has a "very large Lebanese population"

"more than 400,000 Jewish men, women and children in just 56 days"
And recently, Trump's Nazis marching in Charlottesville yelling about the ovens ready for the Jews again.

Shit like this, happening globally isn’t helping innocent Palestinians trapped in Gaza at all

(3,213 posts)It's about hatred of Jews.
One cannot call for gassing Jews in Australia, or the US, or Europe, and pretend your issue is with Israel. It's just a blatant lie.

(3,993 posts)If they wanted to be decent they could say "Free Palestine" or "Give Palestine a State". Instead they drum up the Holocaust. This is nothing but hate.

(18,785 posts)Are you saying the majority of Sydney-siders subscribe to these thoughts?

(18,785 posts)The Sydney mob may very well have been Palestinian ex-pats. I'm not sure how many we have in that community here.
Breaking here is news that synagogues and Jewish schools are increasing security. It's tragic that there is a need to do this as middle East relationships here are generally quite peaceful.

(2,998 posts)If I was Israeli, or Jewish, I would probably pull the lever myself to launch 1000 cruise missiles into Gaza without a second thought. These people are absolutely revolting, worse than the damn Russians even.
Parading around dead women from a music festival with the crowd chanting and spitting on them. Absolutely subhuman behavior. It was literally a peace festival and they did that. Hope they enjoy getting bombed back to the stone age, nobody is gonna help them.
