      Obviously, assuming this is the whole story, no. Are there any planned protests? Is there an open donation box for this person’s legal fees open? Is there any other way in which the average person can help?

      I’m getting sick of rhetorical questions about tyrannical governments, without any effort made to show people what they realistically can do to help.

        Is there an open donation box for this person’s legal fees open?

        Just had a look and found this one: https://chuffed.org/project/173177-justice-for-palestine-legal-defence

        Are there any planned protests?

        Justice for Palestine Magan-Djin (indigenous name for Brisbane) has announced a ‘weekend of action’ against the laws on the 18th-19th of April: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVvfrhOk20n/

          Thanks for that info. Perhaps you could do a post to let more people know about these options.

      No.

      Sure AF doesn’t feel like “hatred”.
