Hey Isaac Herzog. You’d be able to gather in any fucking hall you want in Australia to celebrate your religion IF YOU WEREN’T COMMITTING GENOCIDE AND CENSORING ANY CRITICISM OF YOUR ATROCITIES.
It’s pretty easy to understand. #ABC730

Herzog came to town, so we shut it down.
NSW coppers assaulted Muslims in prayer, so we had a prayer in Arabic as one of our 'speeches.'
Albo's attempt to brush aside and normalise genocide; DENIED.
Nice work Naarm/ Melbourne!

It's no just a Minns problem.
Labor governments all around Australia (local, state & federal) are working towards:
• anti-protest laws
• stopping free speech
• allowing Israel lobby to dictate universities, arts & writer's festivals
• Using police brutality

TLDR: NSW police blocked off major exits Monday night, boxing in protestors, told them contradictory directions, then pepper sprayed and tear gassed people. They assaulted people they arrested, who were then released without charge.

Herzog protests. Medics attacked too, lawyers question police violence - Michael West
Monday's police actions against anti-genocide protestors in Sydney represent a significant escalation of unwarranted violence.

Don't worry Albo,
I'm sure we'll get along,
With a genocide inciter,
Who writes his name on bombs.
There are many values,
Both nations share
For black, brown or First Nations,
We simply don't care🤬
You could have told him,
To fuck off forever,
But you're so spinless,
I'll forgive you never

"We saw the true nature of “social cohesion” after an attempted terrorist massacre at an Invasion Day gathering in Perth... which govs & the media remained almost completely silent on until goaded into a reluctant acknowledgement that it was an attempt at another mass-casualty terrorist atrocity."
"Social cohesion is a scam, a strategy employed by the powerful to delegitimise and suppress the voices of the less powerful... If you are othered by powerful groups, you become the victim of cohesion, not the beneficiary; what you get from social cohesion is a punch from an armed official."
Nothing says cohesion like a punch in the head: Violence of Minns' goons exposes the lie of 'social cohesion'
NSW Police's actions against protesters in in Sydney was about the powerful dictating the terms of free speech — through state-sanctioned violence if necessary.

Minns' alternative facts of 'the police were put in an impossible situation' is not true. Albanese shouldn't have invited Herzog & Minns should've allowed a peaceful protest to proceed.

These images say so much about;
-who is permitted to protest
-who is permitted to be violent
-who is NOT permitted to grieve
and whether its Aussie Jews, or the genocidal Israeli government that Aussie Labour cares about.
Justice and equality are absent from both images. White supremacy is not.

Islamophobia perpetrated by Minn's police state/ NSW. First I saw photos of actual snipers on rooftops surveying protestors for Palestine, and police punching up a protestor, now this. Sydney is a shit show tonight. Minns needs to go, and take his Nazi tolerating, Islamophobic coppers with him.

It's pretty neat how just *checks notes* 'three months ago' NSW Police gave a Nazi protest demanding 'Abolish the Jewish Lobby' the green light, while a protest against the visit of a foreign President -- guilty, according to a UN Independent Commission, of inciting genocide -- is verboten.

Protest isn't divisive; genocide is.
Albo you can't hide, you're complicit in Genocide.
