Edited footage of protesters chanting “gas the Jews” at the rally outside the Sydney Opera House in October was shared on social media, but NSW Police said an extensive investigation found no evidence of it happening.

No evidence… unlike the genocide Israel is committing. Bunch of Nazis they are.

There was evidence but this
journalistactivist neglected to report that part of the police statement where they state there were several witnesses.https://twitter.com/c3po2011g/status/1753211979295326389?t=RKFnBUbi733jfC8GpS74yg&s=19
Worth noting the Crikey had an article on this back in December with Cam Wilson and, notably given events since, Antoinette Lattouf on the byline.

Advocates for a genocide have no standard they will not violate. They are, after all, advocates for a genocide.

“Where’s the jews?” Who says that? It isn’t a thing. What it does sound like is cops covering their arses for not making arrests.
If they said the entire chant was added later that would have been plausible but the cops are gaslighting us.
Here is the video.
Meanwhile there is gaslighting from others saying the Oct 7 massacre didn’t happen. These are Trump level conspiracies but from the left this time.

I heard an expert talking about it and they said analysis of the sound showed some kind of audio loop indicating copy-paste (I didn’t understand the technicalities) which indicated the audio was manipulated.

So the police experts were to be trusted that the chant was “Where’s the Jews?” (absurdly, mind you) rather than “Gas the Jews” and yet…
…and yet we cannot trust them when they explicitly say that there was no doctoring?
Is that what you are suggesting? Where is this expert you heard?

Cam Wilson, who didn’t have the courage to back FriendlyJordies against Barillaro and attacked him instead.

Please update the post title to match the article headline:
Police find no evidence of antisemitic ‘gas’ chant at pro-Palestinian Sydney protest
Since the article also mentions other anti-semetic phrases were employed:
When asked whether there was evidence of other antisemitic phrases being used at the rally, Lanyon said “certainly”.
“There is evidence of that, and those are offensive and completely unacceptable,” he said.
“But I think the major contention has been about the phrase that was chanted, and quite emphatically, our expert has said that it is ‘Where’s the Jews?’”
I will add this to the sidebar but it is best to stick with the original title as in this case. However, SBS may have changed it throughout the day. Thanks

Decided to have a look at what it looks like from their perspective and as far as a kbin user is concerned I’m not even a moderator of this community and the comments are not distinguished.
Kbin federation appears to be half-arsed at best, which is really disappointing on Kbin’s part.

Police do not say it was edited. That is the the journalist adding unnecessary speculation.
What is the point? To say there was no chant, it was edited, but if there was a chant it was more likely “kiss the jews” or “where’s the juice” (protesting is thirsty work).
