“Intifada is what the kid is doing. Terrorism is what the tank is doing.” -Palestine Action Group Sydney on IG
Update: the image is of Faris Odeh, a Palestinian boy from the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip taken during the Second Intifada by a photojournalist from the Associated Press on 29 October 2000. Ten days later, on 8 November, Odeh was chased and shot in the neck by an Israeli soldier.

Not sure this belongs on c/Australia. If you want to crosspost it to Aussie Zone perhaps its more appropriate to crosspost to c/overseasnews.

It’s an image and quote from Palestine Action Group Sydney which they made in response to the current Australian issue of the NSW government planning to outlaw phrases like “globalise the intifada”.

I see the context you provided in the linked thread. This is a fucked response. Maybe its a good idea to edit your comment with that context here?
From u/rcbrk,
Context: NSW government is about to try criminalising the phrase ‘globalise the intifada’, with other aus governments also considering it.

How does it relate? How can what the kid is doing be globalized? The IDF is in Israel and neighboring areas in the ME. The only interpretation that connects with globalizing that fight is to equate Jewish people around the world with Israel. And that deserves to be banned rhetoric.
