Performing the Nazi salute will become a criminal offence in Australia, as the federal government seeks to counter rising outbreaks of anti-Semitism and racism.

Key points:

  • The federal government has announced a plan to make it a criminal offence to perform the Nazi salute in Australia.
  • Meanwhile, hundreds of prominent Australians have signed a letter denouncing anti-Semitism and racism.
  • Jewish and Islamic groups say there has been a huge rise in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

    I saw very similar questions being asked back in the day about the IRA.

        And a situation deemed unsolvable and irrevocable, too far gone…ended not in genocide, but the good friday accords.

          You are implying that there is some kind of analogy here. But the only similarity I see here that both IRA and Hamas are terrorist organizations. But their goals and operation style and size are very different. I have no hope whatsoever that Hamas would reject their main purpose - to destroy Israel.
