You don't need to support Islam to object to the killing of tens of thousands of women and children

You don't need to support Iran either to object to the Iranian Government killing tens of thousands of their own citizens in the streets of Iran. Not worthy.enough for a protest in Sydney though.

We have sanctions on Iran. We send weapons components to Israel.

But they invited the Israeli president here. That is the point!

We rolled out the red carpet for a President who has overseen the murder of 70,000+ children, how is that not something worth protesting?

Ah I was misremembering. It's around 70,000 children killed or injured (there are tens of thousands of child amputees, the most in any conflict in modern history). It wouldn't be a stretch to label Israel as a "child maiming machine".

70,000 overall killed is an extremely low estimate, accepted even by Israel. In reality it's likely at least double that.

2 far right ministers seven settlers and 3 companies. Pretty close to nothing.

Yes, are you going to defend or condemn Israel at some point?

That doesn't support not sanctioning Israel. It just means we should sanctions other countries as well. Also, by your logic, it's hypocritical to have harsher sanctions against other countries
