I thought this was, yet again, a shit article on the subject from the ABC. A total failure to provide context to explain the ongoing genocide and our government's support of the genocidal regime that leads to local protests having a very direct, real purpose. Literally no attempt to explain the meaning of the phrase, no contextualising the use of the term "hate speech". Not even scare quotes around that term.
It's quite telling that there's no by-line on the article.
Here's a better article. It doesn't go as far as I would like in contextualising it properly, it but it at least does the bare minimum necessary for journalistic integrity.
Also, side note: according to a Facebook post/video by Michael West Media (but not any proper article from them that I could find), those arrested included Jewish Australians.
