  Zionism has too strong a foothold in this country, we need to throw that garbage into the bin where it belongs with the Nazis.

    Is that your take from a 2 second discussion with a police offer? Or are you referring to something else?

    I don’t think I’ve heard very many (or any) people speak openly about supporting the colonization of Palestine and the genocide of the Arab Palestinians.

      Yeah nah I don’t think they’re just deciding that from a clip of one copper. More like the years of Australian mass media support of the Zionist regime, our country’s critical military support of the ongoing genocide, and the rest of the shit that’s been going on here.

      Zionism has too strong a foothold in this country, we need to throw that garbage into the bin where it belongs with the Nazis. Fortunately, the neo-Nazis here are finally getting their doors smashed in by vigilantes, but just like with the Zionists, the cops are doing their best to defend genocide’s right to peace.

  Haha, I saw it around when it was originally posted. It’s just so bizarre I didn’t know what to make of it. I couldn’t find an extended version or anything describing the context around it.

    I think it’s because people used watermelon emoji to represent Gaza support (because of the colours) so now watermelons are antisemitic

      watermelons are an old racist anti African American symbol

      but you knew it was a hate symbol already , now you are playing victim 🙄

      Oh, I’m aware, it’s just bizarre even with that context. But yes, important to note for anyone not aware.
