The Albo govt could burn political capital doing good and necessary things.

But instead it creates this unholy mess. Alienating everyone. Fairly confident this incident will define his Prime Ministership.

Hard to believe that inviting the head of state of a country committing war crimes, illegal seizure of property and genocide to visit Australia would cause such social disharmony, division, protest and outrage.

It was sickening though also enlightening to hear NSW Premier #ChrisMinns on the radio (ABC) this morning. It helpfully clarified that fundamentally, the public reason for all the chaos in Sydney's CBD last night, the reason Minns insisted NSW police prevent any march from occurring, is at its core quite deeply bigoted and racist.

What Minns admitted to in that interview this morning is that he did not trust rally organisers to do what they said they would do. He did not trust that a rally route ending at parliament house wouldn't actually be a Trojan horse for protesters to suddenly break off through police lines and go rampaging on a pogrom through the streets, looking for Jewish people to harm. That is why there couldn't be a march.

Something like 100 rallies organised by the same people, at which we have followed the agreed route every time. A hundred rallies without any arrests for violence or flouting lawful police directions (indeed, the only charges of violence in the context of 28 months of anti-genocide protest are from a police officer recklessly causing grievous bodily harm to a political candidate who ran against Prime Minister Albanese and came second to him in his electorate).

RT: @NabilAlNashar “We do not welcome a man who incites genocide”

Upper house Labor MP @SarahJKaine speaking at the #HerzogNotWelcome rally in Sydney Town Hall this afternoon.

You stand on the right side of history. Solidarity breaks the silence and exposes the genocide. Our just cause remains present before the world. It may not stop the killing immediately, but without it, the killing becomes easier and more silent.

Thank you to every voice with us.🫂🍉
