You're right, the point of the AFL isn't the same as a protest.
The point of the protest is to stop our country's government from aiding and abetting a genocide. Anything else pales in comparison.
Yeah, i made light of it. But you're right to bring it back to the reason this is all so beyond acceptable for Australia.
*Alleged+ genocide, and blocking people from going about their day isn’t the way to go about it.
Ah mate, you've now just lost any credibility you may have thought you had.
*The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
George Orwell, 1984*
"Alleged+" is certainly an interesting way of phrasing "officially declared by the relevant independent UN commission". That certainly is above alleged.
