Some 350,000 Australians flooded the streets in Free Palestine rallies, screaming to “end the genocide in Gaza” and demanding sanctions on Israel. Not a single chant for the hostages still held by Hamas. Not one call for Hamas to lay down arms. It’s a one-sided circus, blind to the October 7, 2023, attack that killed 1,200 and took 251 captives. Markets in Gaza brim with food, yet the famine myth persists, fueled by these protests. Has Australia fallen to this lopsided narrative, or is it just a loud minority?
