Anti-Israel protestors chant 'gas the Jews' outside Sydney Opera House
2023-10-11
[NYPOST] A massive anti-Israel rally on the steps of the Sydney Opera House has sparked political condemnation and an investigation by Australian police after protesters were filmed chanting "gas the Jews."

Around 1,000 protesters gathered outside Sydney’s iconic performing arts hall late Monday carrying flares and Paleostinian flags and chanting "gas the Jews," "f—k the Jews" and "Allahu Akbar," the troubling footage shared by the Australian Jewish Association showed.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the chants "reprehensible" and "just appalling," ABC News reported.

"I think we should all be concerned," foreign affairs minister Penny Wong added on ABC Radio National, according to The Guardian.

"There is no place in Australia for antisemitism or prejudice or hatred of any kind and we should all stand firm against the sort of antisemitic language that unfortunately some engaged [in] — just as we should stand firm against all prejudice."

The protest came just about three days into the war between Israel and Hamas

, the terrorist group that launched a surprise attack on the Jewish state early Saturday.

As of Tuesday, around 1,000 Israelis have been killed and another 2,800 injured — including entire families, the elderly, and revelers at a music festival in the Negev.

Protest organizers Paleostine Action Group Sydney defended it as "peaceful," distancing itself from "a tiny fringe" of antisemitic attendees responsible for the chants.
