NSW Police attempted to move the group on, claiming the action was unauthorised.
This is scary to me, why do we need authorisation?

Better article including video of the assault and description of the police's woeful response to it.

So do I understand correctly that on this globe you can only be against genocide of the Palestinians if you live in an authoritarian country like China, Iran, Russia, etc.?
Obviously in those countries you can't be against their own genocides like the Uhigers, Ukrainians, etc. But somehow when it comes to Israel the rest of the world seems to not dare being against genocide?
Is is because the US is so powerful that they fear reprecusions? Or why is that?
I'm many countries, yes, in many ots controversial. In others the political class is against the genocide, including Western countries.
Other than Spain and Ireland, which ones?
Brazil, Colombia, league of Arab counties, Norway, Sweden. Even Germany and France have expressed concern. The EU as whole is flagging that free trade agreements may be annulled due to war crimes.
Didn't Germany just veto the suspension? https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2025-06-23/germany-against-suspending-eu-deal-with-israel-official-says
Yes. Germany have been most supportive of Israel, as they misguidedly want to protect Jews, rather than people from genocide, to overcompensate for past actions. However, even there, the tide has turned and some politicians are making statements against Israel and her actions.
league of Arab counties
Which Arab countries? Every single one has been quiet, and some have been actively aiding the genocide.
Even Germany and France have expressed concern
To what end? Germany's been militant in its support, and France shrank away from actively censuring the genocidaires every chance they got.
The EU as whole is flagging that free trade agreements may be annulled due to war crimes.
They've been doing that dance for over a year. What has come of it?

Uhigers
The Uyghur "genocide" is debatable. As far as I know, internment camps exist but there's no widespread executions like those claimed by western media. It's not like the Palestinian genocide where there's documented proof.
If one of them tries to walk out, do they just let them?
Watched an interesting take from one of the Chinese politician or whatever they are called there.
He was blaming the US imperial forces causing turmoil in Afghanistan which leaked into the Chinese side and fumed some of the locals now wanting to split from China and wanting their own nation. Pollie said their leader is an american citizen. So I guess china has been detaining these people? Who knows.
So I guess china has been detaining these people? Who knows.
This is their loincloth of a justification for the genocide, yes.
That seems to be the official take according to the CCP, the internment camps are used to re-educate extremists.
Genocide doesnt require direct killing. Forced sterilization and destruction of cultural identity is also genocide.
From Wikipedia:
"the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group" by means such as "the disintegration of [its] political and social institutions, of [its] culture, language, national feelings, religion, and [its] economic existence".
And there is plenty of documented proof of that. To deny that is to deny your own ability to see, read and think.
Is your proof from Adrian Zenz? Hasn't it been proven that he manipulated the data on his research and lied repeatedly?
To deny that is to deny your own ability to see, read and think.
So you admit to not being able to do any of those three?
Here have fun reading ~400 sources ranging from pre 2000 to present day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China#References
Literally thousands of news organizations from left to right, old to new, small to large have reported on this. There are uncountable numbers of reports and pieces of evidence from texts to pictures to audio and video recordings to witness reports.
I merely asked whether your source is Adrian Zenz and your immediate reaction is to insult and belittle. I'm sorry but I'm just a nobody with no interest on genocide, so I haven't spent hours researching the subject. I guess that makes me a complete idiot who is unable to see, read or think.
If you ask me about some specific source, then you already know that what i have said is true and you are just trying to argue for the sake of arguing. If you know the name Adrian Zenz, then you know how to read a Wikipedia article.

What do you mean by prove? This person just copy and pasted the definition.
And there is plenty of documented proof of that.
They mentioned there's plenty of documented proof, so I asked whether it's from Adrian Zenz.

Obviously in those countries you can’t be against their own genocides like the Uhigers, Ukrainians, etc. But somehow when it comes to Israel the rest of the world seems to not dare being against genocide?
I've not seen any major protests against the situation in Uhiger or Ukraine
The previous trending virtue signal was Climate Change so you had people dangling from bridges and blocking traffic, equally as annoying and ineffective
I think you'll find Western countries don't need much of an excuse to support colonial genocide.
It's because we are in the worst timeline. Evil has won in this para-dimension.
Fair.
I'm hopeful that it can't get exponentially worse forever.
It can. We're living in what our children will call the "good old days" right now.
Survival alone will be brutal next decade. Millions upon millions of climate/war refugees vs the thousands of today.
The bright-side is that we are still mortal creatures. Our individual suffering gets to thankfully end when we die. Death is the release from this hell. I take comfort in the fact that someday soon I will be gone from this nightmare.
We hope. No one knows. Enjoy this hell. What dreams may come, all that.
