That’s the hilarious reality that smacked professional protesting parasite **Josh Lees** right in his porcine face this week. The unemployable serial pest thought the third anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since WWII was just the right time to bellow to the world just how his odious crew want to wipe the Jewish state from the face of the Earth. And practically no one showed up. No wonder Lees looked so glum as he wobbled around outside Sydney Town Hall, trying ineffectively to hide his bulky form behind the couple of dozen other losers in their hipster swastikas. After all, if his ‘pro-Palestine’ gig dries up, what’s going to pay for all the pies. What’s left for a professional ‘protester’ to do? Get a job? He’d rather hug a Jew. Still, even in their pathetic, dwindling numbers, these left-wing malcontents simply cannot help themselves. They possess a congenital inability to assemble without indulging in a spot of the old ultra-violence. In Melbourne, the State Library lawns became the site of a truly wretched display. As the activists sought to ‘honour’ their so-called martyrs with red poppies, a tasteless appropriation of our Anzac traditions, the atmosphere quickly curdled. When ‘Ozraeli’ journalist **Avi Yemini** arrived to document the spectacle, the tolerance of the ‘peace-loving’ protesters evaporated instantly. > [In Melbourne](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/bondi-dawn-service-honours-october-7-victims-under-heavy-police-guard/news-story/ce66d6a14acbd98684a8ce7a3db8fe31?ref=goodoil.news), a pro-Palestine vigil turned violent when security guards protecting former IDF soldier Avi Yemini clashed with anti-Israel activists who had gathered at the State Library. A glass bottle thrown landed inches from a mother with a child in the pram. It is a testament to the moral rot of this movement that a projectile can be hurled toward an innocent toddler simply because the target is a Jew they despise more than usual. The police were forced to surge forward to maintain a semblance of order, struggling to contain the shrieking mob while Mr Yemini navigated a game of cat-and-mouse with people who seem to have forgotten that we live in a civilised society, not the chaotic streets of Gaza. Contrast this tawdry theatre of hate with the sombre dignity displayed elsewhere. Thousands of Australians, standing in solidarity with the victims of October 7, gathered with quiet resolve. At the Central Synagogue in Bondi, the mood was one of grief and remembrance, far removed from the shrill, performative venom of the Town Hall grifters. Federal and state leaders, including former prime minister **Tony Abbott**, stood shoulder-to-shoulder, reflecting on the grim reality that the contagion of October 7 did not stay confined to the Middle East. NSW Opposition Leader **Kellie Sloane** hit the nail squarely on the head, describing the anti-Israel ‘vigils’ as nothing short of sickening. As she rightly noted, the hatred unleashed by the Hamas massacre has washed up on our own shores, manifesting in a campaign of intimidation that would have been unthinkable in Australia just a few short years ago. > Marking October 7 also required considering “what (that attack) unleashed here in Australia, because the hatred that was exposed that day did not remain thousands of kilometres away,” Ms Sloane said. “It reached our shores, and over the past three years, Jewish Australians have ­experienced things we could never have imagined happening in Australia,” she said. Indeed, the contrast could not be starker. On one side, we have the Jewish community and their allies, mourning the dead and reflecting upon the fragility of life. On the other, we have a small, ugly rump of agitators who claim that the anniversary of a massacre is merely an opportunity to ‘globalise the intifada’. They wrap their hate in the language of human rights, while simultaneously cheering for a terrorist regime that makes no secret of its desire to slaughter Jews in their beds. It is heartening, however, to see the public turning their backs on the Lees-style hatred. When the antisemites hold a march, the streets remain largely empty, occupied only by a handful of losers looking for someone to blame for their own miserable lives. The weekly gathering of ‘honk for Gaza’ Boomers in Launceston have dwindled to a handful of geriatric antisemites waving their placards at stonily silent traffic. When the community gathers to remember, the turnout is immense. It seems that even in this current malaise, the silent majority of Australians still retain enough of a moral compass to distinguish between the victim and the bloodthirsty maniac. The agitators are losing and they know it. They can shout until their throats are raw, they can try to ‘steal the date’ and they can lob bottles at journalists, but the reality remains: hardly anyone cares for their genocidal grievances. Life moves on and these professional pests are left standing on the lawn, holding their banners and waiting for a relevance that will never come. --- 💡 ****If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share buttons at the top or bottom of the article.**
