Angry pro-Palestine protesters marched to the Sydney Opera House on Monday and appeared to chant "gas the Jews" and "f--- the Jews," according to an Australian media report.

The protesters also lit off flares, according to Sky News Australia.

A video of part of the protest, which began peacefully earlier in the day, was posted to X -- formerly known as Twitter -- by the Australian Jewish Association.

I feel like you can be pro-palestine without being antisemitic…

Just like you can be anti-Hamas without being anti-Palestine or pro-Israel.

As with virtually any war, the problems here are two relatively small groups of people with radical ideas that are enforcing their will upon millions of innocent people.

These people only hate Jewish people. If they had any love for Palestine they wouldn't be fanning this flame.

The people chanting ‘gas the Jews’, absolutely. No question about it.

But the majority of folks that support Palestine are not antisemitic.
