  Is Albanese trolling?

  Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he was devastated by the scenes of police and protesters clashing on the streets of Sydney during a rally against the visit of Israel’s President Isaac Herzog.

  “These are scenes that I think shouldn’t be taking place. So people should be able to express their views peacefully, but the police were very clear about the routes that were required if people wanted to march, to go a particular route, and for to ensure that this was done peacefully,” he told Triple M Hobart.

  The prime minister said inviting Herzog was appropriate and urged those who disagreed with the visit to “express any views peacefully” and “in an appropriate way”.

  “Now people will have different views about the Middle East and we have been critical and have received some criticism from the Israeli government,” he said.

  “But we do need to be able to have people express any views peacefully in an appropriate way.”

  Anyone with a brain knew this would happen. This cunt preaches about civility and respect constantly, yet he and his government seem to be doing everything they can to incite conflict. Just don’t needlessly invite extremely controversial guests into the country. It’s not hard.

  Truly ascendent move to invite the president of Israel to Australia after years of Palestine protests. The cynic in me says he was deliberately invited so that police would have sufficient excuse to step up anti protest measures in the ensuing backlash.
