As much as I tire of pro Palestine activism in Aussie spaces, as no one is really going to disagree with it beyond minor things (like terrible slogan choice for example), that dude is definitely Zionist leaning towards Nazi. The all caps liar in response to old mate vastly understating initial incursion numbers and using the term exterminate in a subsequent “not enough ovens” type reply is pretty telling. Before I read the older thread I assumed it ironic as well but now I doubt it.

Surely not as much as we tire of anti-Palestine actions being taken by our state and federal governments.
If Albanese’s government were sanctioning Israel instead of selling weapons to help with their genocide, and if Crisafulli had banned pro-Israel messages rather than pro-Palestine ones, you would probably see a hell of a lot less pro-Palestine activism in Aussie spaces. Because for many of us, the activism isn’t about directly affecting anything in the Middle East—we know we can’t do that—it’s about affecting how our own government acts in response.

That’s the thing. It annoys me because it justifies it, if you get what I mean. Israel’s actions are that of a genocidal rogue state and yet the government seems to be more concerned about policing activist than overtly stating that what Israel is doing is wrong. Like plenty of “Israel has a right to defend itself” at the start but now practically crickets when Gaza has been bombed into oblivion, disproportional civilian casualties and starving them out. Don’t get me started on the fact that Netanyahu has conned the US’ dope in chief into assisting them widen the campaign to Iran.

I think I get what you mean, but I would say that it only “justifies it” to people looking for a reason to justify it. It doesn’t actually make the government more likely to give Israel support than they already were, IMO.
