Australian Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has joined the chorus of condemnation of the pro-Hamas rally in Sydney, calling for the visas of non-citizen protesters to be revoked.

On Oct. 10, around 1,000 pro-Palestine protesters marched through Sydney’s central business district and gathered in front of Sydney Opera House, chanting anti-Jewish slurs including “gas the Jews” and “[expletive] Israel.”
