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.

    A big problem in conflating the bad government and the ethnic population and the religion is the fact the country is setup as a religious ethnocentric state. The titles, messaging, and words all conflate.

    People are terrible with nuance at the best of times, when they are emotional that nuanced capacity goes out the window. So you can’t be pro Palestine, anti Hamas and have any discussion.

    This inability to maintain nuance applies to the other side too. You’re either pro Israel, or anti-Semitic, at least in the public discourse. You can’t be pro-Palestinian, anti Israeli (government), pro Jewish, that viewpoint has too much nuance for discourse in social media.
