I was waiting for my bacon and egg roll in Newtown (very lefty hippy/student inner city suburb of Sydney) on Thursday and 2 straight out of central casting (white, upper middle class, students, with the accent and clothes I’m sure you can picture) Pro-Palestine student protestors were handing out leaflets demanding a ceasefire
They were very much in friendly territory but it took 3 minutes before one person spoke up for the Israeli victims, within seconds the leaflet distributors were screaming at him that the was a racist (seemed they weren’t used to the idea of people questioning them, seems bad for people in the influence business)
Then a polite older lady asked how they planned to create the ceasefire seeing as they were in, you know.... Australia and we aren’t providing Israel with weapons or anything, nothing more in fact than speeches in parliament of support and its not like Bibi and the IDF would care what we say and the answer was just classic self-absorbed narcissism, apparently enough people at a protest in Sydney would create people power and this would force Israel to stop
The total childishness of these people makes me question the value of a university education
