globalise the intifada

Pro-Palestine protesters in Queensland have filed a high court challenge against a state law banning the slogan 'from the river to the sea', alleging it is an unconstitutional content-based restriction on free speech. The law, which also prohibits the phrase 'globalise the intifada', was enacted by the Liberal National Party government following a December terror attack in Bondi.

Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party, opposes banning the 'globalise the intifada' chant at pro-Palestine protests in London, arguing it would infringe on free speech. He contrasts with Keir Starmer, who advocates stricter measures against such chants following a recent attack on Jewish people in Golders Green.

Heidi Alexander, UK transport secretary, condemned Green Party leader Jonathan Polanski for retweeting a post criticizing police use of force during an arrest. Alexander argued Polanski's actions demonstrated he is 'not fit to lead a political party,' citing the bravery of officers who faced a knife-wielding suspect. The discussion followed debates over potential bans on pro-Palestinian protest chants like 'globalise the intifada' and 'from the river to the sea.'

NSW Premier Chris Minns may abandon plans to ban the slogan 'globalise the intifada' following a legal challenge in Queensland. Initially determined to prohibit the phrase after the Bondi terror attack, Minns now ties the ban's fate to the outcome of the Queensland case, signaling a potential retreat from the policy.

A legal expert advises the New South Wales (NSW) government to reconsider banning the phrase 'globalise the intifada' following a court ruling that invalidated an anti-protest law introduced after the Bondi beach terror attack. The law allowed police to restrict protests, including an anti-Herzog rally in February.
