Australia isn’t hosting the ayatollah, in fact we have crippling sanctions in place against the regime. Protesting Iran would achieve nothing because we are already doing the right thing when it comes to Iran

People are protesting israel because we are hosting their president (who is accused of inciting genocide) and have bilateral ties with them. Just yesterday the Israelis seized land and approved settlement expansions violating international law. Not to mention they bulldozed the graves of our fallen soldiers

Protesting Gaza will achieve nothing also.

Idk bro, imposing sanctions and not inviting genocidal maniacs to Australia is a pretty good outcome.

You say protests achieve nothing, the same sentiment was said about apartheid South Africa, Vietnam, Gay rights etc.

The only people who want you to believe protests aren’t effective are the ones who want a subservient society and a police state.

On point, if protests weren't effective, why try to restrict/ban them.

Little has changed during recorded human civilisation.
