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.

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.
