In the video, BoyBoy and Ididathing create a statue to represent the victims of genocide in Gaza. The statue is a blocky humanoid figure with a keffiyeh.

They secretly install overnight the statue at an art show called 'Sculpture by the Sea' in Sydney Australia. The statue is removed the next morning.

In 2022, 'Sculpture by the Sea' showcased many statues in support of Ukraine. The event does not feature statues in support of Gaza or Palestinians.

BoyBoy says that the event allows statues in support Ukraine but not Gaza because Ukraine aligns with US foreign policy and US foreign policy is against the existence of Palestine.

    It always impresses me how far they are willing to go for a bit

    These boys are definitely going to jail eventually. Maybe not for this but they're going to want to get them eventually.

    Oh for sure. I do think he was being pretty serious when he asked if a year of prison was really that bad. He's mentally preparing for whatever finally gets him. rat-salute-2

    Yeah it did sound very much like "ehhh I can probably do it".

    They're making videos of Palestine Action protesters getting arrested and re-arrested and arrested again so there's some sort of self-awareness going on "if these people can do it, we need to be willing to".

    Like, this is what it is to commit to your ideals at the end of the day, even when the state criminalises those ideals.

    sometimes it fucks up the edit in weird ways

    It's completely crowdsourced, if you notice a weird edit you can just fix it. Those are rare though in my experience

    This is basically their only sponsor. It’s always odoo. It always confuses me. What is odoo getting out of this? It can’t be that such a good portion of the audience is petty bourgeois 😆

    The video was just made private. They must have got a lot of flak for this one.

    The video was filmed at the same location as the Hanukkah Shooting which killed 10 people, Bondi Beach Australia. The video focuses on support for Palestine and it was filmed in November. In the video they say they were called antisemitic for supporting Palestinians. I suspect that there are Zionists who are blaming them for the shooting.
