Edited footage of protesters chanting “gas the Jews” at a rally outside the Sydney Opera House in October was shared on social media, but NSW Police said an extensive investigation found no evidence of it happening.

    You’re grasping at straws, you clearly didn’t read the article (or don’t want to), so I quote the relevant passage for you as you seem to only have read the headline:

    When asked whether there was evidence of other antisemitic phrases being used at the rally, Lanyon said “certainly”.

    That + repeating “where’s the Jews” during a rally immediately 2 days after Hamas’ killings and mass rapes on October 7th is definitely indefensible and certainly is incompatible with how you want it to be interpreted.

    You hoped that this article would be a gotcha moment but you seem to not have read anything beyond the headline, because the article is actually still pretty damning.

        The reason “Gas the Jews” was lied about was because it would provide legal recourse to arrest those protesting. It was a deliberate attempt to abuse the justice system to silence victims.

        But the article says it was used to change the hate crime laws. That makes it sound like it wasn’t covered by laws at the time this allegedly happened.

      Lmao the flag emojis

      There’s only one reason you blindly support Israel and it sure as fuck isn’t because they’re innocent.

      Imagine thinking Ukraine has the right to exist and fight back against oppression but Palestinians do not…

      I’m sure you would have fought for the confederate states since slaves killing slave owners and their enablers “is wrong” and owning slaves was perfectly legal.
