Fake news gets caught red-handed broadcasting fake news. Again. UPDATE: Fact check proves it’s actually real news, and lying about it is evil

Oddly enough, the protest leaders believed that the video showed real events:
Pro-Palestine protest organiser ‘deplored’ Jewish slurs

[AustralianAssociatedPress] The organisers of a widely condemned pro-Palestine protest in Sydney say anti-Jewish slurs at the rally came from only a handful of anti-Semite agitators.
Even if the protesters had not shouted those things, protesting against Israel mere days after the 10/7 massacre where Hamasniks raped captured women until their pelvises broke and cooked babies alive in their own homes shows conscious support of evil. And now, after all that has been revealed in the two months since that day, Ulimble Forkbeard2690, one no longer wonders why you so vociferously support evil.
Protesters chanted anti-Israel and anti-Jewish rhetoric at a rally which started at Town Hall and ended on the steps of the Opera House on Monday night as the venue’s sails were lit up in the colours of the Israeli flag.

NSW Premier Chris Minns approved the lighting of the sails to show solidarity with the Jewish community after the Islamist group Hamas invaded Israeli towns and massacred residents and festival attendees on Saturday.

Flares were lit outside the Sydney Opera House during a pro-Palestine rally.
The surprise attack and subsequent retaliatory shelling of Hamas-controlled Gaza have killed at least 1500 people.
Bad things generally happen to people who start wars, and really it’s stupid to complain when the attacked target retaliates.
Mr Minns led a host of prominent figures on Tuesday condemning the protest and the “shocking and abusive” comments shouted there, which included a chant of “gas the Jews”.

But organisers Palestine Action Group defended their right to protest and said media coverage had focused on a tiny fringe of “vile anti-Semitic attendees”
...as opposed to the less openly vile mainstream of antisemitic attendees. Got it.
Mostly young teens shouting “f** the Jews” were quickly condemned and asked to leave, they said in a lengthy statement.

“Long-standing Palestinian organisers and activists, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim elders attending the protest were disgusted and deplored by the action,” it said.


The group, which promises a second rally on Sunday, drew a distinction between Judaism and the state of Israel, which they described as “a genocidal apartheid regime”.

#1 Odd, you'd figure that the anti evil protests would get in a word about the ongoing ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

#2 How can Gaza be ethnically cleansed if they’re all still there?

Granted, something like 75% would like to leave — or at least that was the number on October 6th; it’s probably about 95% now — but they can’t because Hamas, the elected government of Gaza, won’t let them out.

#3 ^And Arab goverments - who created the problem in the first place, won't let them in.

#7 No one seems to care about the ethnic cleansing of Germans from East Prussia, Sileisa, and the Czech Sudetenland after the Germans lost their war on Europe in 1945. Here's an idea, leave your neighbor alone.

#8 Nobody cares about the Jews of the Middle East, resident there since Biblical times, who were driven out with murder and rape as soon as Israel was declared a state. Most of those who survived fled to Israel, which took them in, even as they were recovering from their first Arab war.
