NSW Police say forensic analysis finds no evidence the phrase "gas the Jews" was chanted in videos circulating online from a pro-Palestinian rally in October, despite people providing statements the phrase was used.
More honest than everything else reported this week on the issue.
NSW Police say forensic analysis has found no evidence the phrase “gas the Jews” was chanted in videos circulating online from a pro-Palestinian rally at the Sydney Opera House in October.
On October 9, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters rallied at the landmark, which was lit blue and white in solidarity with Israel following the Hamas attacks on the Jewish state.
The phrase “gas the Jews” could lead to a prosecution under 93Z of the Crimes Act for publicly threatening or inciting violence on the grounds of race or religion.
The state government launched a review last month into laws relating to hate speech and incitement to violence, to be overseen by Tom Bathurst KC.
Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-CEO Alex Ryvchin said multiple independent witnesses have verified and declared that the ‘gas the Jews’ phrase, which attracted international media attention was used.
Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said “the accounts from that night speak for themselves” and that it was “a moment of national shame that shouldn’t have been allowed to take place”.
