You're right, the point of the AFL isn't the same as a protest.
The point of the protest is to stop our country's government from aiding and abetting a genocide. Anything else pales in comparison.
*Alleged+ genocide, and blocking people from going about their day isn’t the way to go about it.
"Alleged+" is certainly an interesting way of phrasing "officially declared by the relevant independent UN commission". That certainly is above alleged.
If Israel wanted to genocide palestinians they’d have blown it off the face of the earth on October 8.
Ah mate, you've now just lost any credibility you may have thought you had.
*The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
George Orwell, 1984*
It’s not alleged?
Yeah, i made light of it. But you're right to bring it back to the reason this is all so beyond acceptable for Australia.
