Went into the city yesterday and went to the State Library. I thought I'd finally be able to make an appearance at one of the pro Palestine demonstrations but it was some weird anti CCP group out the front yesterday
I accidentally walked through a protest on Oct 10th on my way to the art gallery.
A woman with a loud speaker was yelling River to the Sea ( a call to genocide, not only of Jews but of all infidels including Sunni Muslims and Christians, but first Jews , eh ) and people in the crowd answered with "Kill them".
I hurried through shaken. This must have been what it was like to live in Germany in the 1930s.
It's always anti CCP outside the State Library. I think a few also hang around Spencer St Station.
If I see a future date for a pro-palestine one (the posters are all over Sydney Rd), I'll let you know :D
For me it's more that I need to get a whole family into the city which takes an hour. I was hoping things would line up on Saturday
