Police attack peaceful Palestine solidarity protest in Melbourne

The Victoria police have viciously attacked a peaceful pro- Palestine demonstration in Melbourne's CBD on July 1st. In the largest political arrest in a decade, twenty protesters were arrested during the action against Israeli-owned Max Brenner store. The chocolateria in the Queen Victoria Shopping Centre is owned by the Israeli conglomerate 'Strauss group'; a company that provides "care rations" for one of the most brutal sections of the Israeli military, the Golani brigades. The protest occurred as part of the global Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against the apartheid Israeli state. The peaceful picket was 'kettled' before leading activists were individually targeted, in what seems to be a new tactic from Ballieu's riot squad.

@Yiots go to Palestine if you are a christian and don't forget to tel them that you are a christian, we will see how long you will last ))) they hate Christians as much as they hate Jews or any other faith that is not Islam.

I'm christian and i support Palestine. The zionist agenda and there lackeys, can burn in the war they are about to create. I do pity the jewish people who have no idea what their overlords are about to begin. Similarly the americans, will surely follow the leader and jump into the fire.

People cry, people moan

Look for a dry place to call their home

Try to find some place to rest their bones

While the angels and the devils try to make them their own

@LewisTL95 and calling the people and country that actully fought for there survival and still protects them nazi's, every religion/people has there sour apples. but the imperialistic view the israelian goverment got towards Palestine is just ridiculous they really think that god promised them that land and that they are supposed to own it... just fk off if your god wanted you to have that land why do ya need to fight over it. if it was really supposed to be yours they would have handed it over.

@LewisTL95 i never met a Muslim who demanded other to convert in my country atleast, also all kinds of people rape it doesn't have a thing to do with religion, it has to do with social structure and how that country is. a little example of why there are barely any jews doing bad things is because there are barely any jews left. if you go talking about small groups doing things wrong than lets start about extremist jews mocking christian tourist when they are in israel,

[LewisTL95]

@rickieboy246 Actually, they are better. At least when they immigrate to our country they don't demand that everybody become Jewish. Unlike Muslims, going off raping women and demanding that we conform to their beliefs.

[rickieboy246]

@LewisTL95 afcours thats bad but Israel ain't much better

[LewisTL95]

@rickieboy246 How about Islam being liberal to homosexuals and women? Just ignore the fact Muslim men beat their wives, marry multiple women, convince women they will go to hell and order the death penalty for homosexuality. A free Islamic state? HAHAHAHA
