Anti-Semitic protests in Australia have a surprising result for their "cause"

Just a bunch of Jew-haters targeting a flag, for now

An Australian Survey [N = 1607] found that aggressive anti-Semitic tactics cloaked in anti-Zionism, such as blockades and tactics taken by protesters who often assault Jews, are causing an effect that may get these cretins to think twice, if in fact they are capable of thinking. It turns out that due to these violent, angry Jew-hating displays, fewer people are supporting the Arab cause in Gaza.

The Resolve Political Monitor conducted for Sydney Morning Herald by Resolve Strategic found that 46% of responders said they were less likely to side with the Palestinian camp because of aggressive tactics such as occupying public spaces and other extreme actions taken by activists, while only 41% of respondents, many of whom have mental problems of their own, said recent anti-Israel protests were legitimate.

Age differences tended to be significant in how responses differed. 

Sixty-four percent of respondents 55 and older said they were less supportive of the "Palestinian" cause following recent protests, but only 27% of respondents between 18 and 37 agreed with this, also indicating the fact that with age comes wisdom.

Politics also played a role where 61% of coalition supporters said they were less likely to be pro-Palestinian, 40% of Labour votes, and 16% of left-wing Green Party voters.

There have been almost daily Nazi-ish rallies in Australia where about 41% felt they were legitimate and only 14% agreed that occupying buildings was a legitimate form of protest. Interestingly however, none of the 41% and 14% experienced these rallies in their own buildings or streets.

A whopping 10% of responders who likely don't drive or don't go along streets thus occupied, thought blocking access to and from politicians’ offices was legitimate.

Nine percent agreed with protesting at the home of a politician or a public figure, and just 4% believed damaging property was justified because they don't own property and have fewer functioning brain cell activity.

The only protest that received the majority support was writing to politicians and signing petitions.

And that's just Australia.

Am Yisrael Chai!
