- Tonight at 6pm, Stop the War on Palestine (SWOP) are hosting a public forum - “Why it’s right to say ‘Globalise the Intifada’”. Speakers include Cumberland City councillor Ahmed Ouf, writer and lawyer Sara Saleh, plus Ed Carroll via video link (the Jewish activist and Queensland Progressive Party leader arrested for using the banned slogan)
- There has been direct mentions of this event in mainstream media, particularly News Corp outlets, due to NSW Premier Chris Minns urging the City of Sydney to block the event. I also see some reactionary social media posters trying to stir the pot.
- Because of this, I’ve heard concerns that there’s an possible chance of counterprotest, and therefore it’s important to ensure numbers at the even to dissuade any potential counterprotesters from starting problems.
Please share this around, and I hope to see you there!
Official Facebook event, found via GreenLeft. I recommend using and sharing the Facebook event link as there was previously a venue change.

[forwarding from cross-post] I missed some news from last night:
