The former Australian of the Year addressed a pro-Palestine rally outside Sydney Town Hall protesting Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to honor victims of December’s ISIS-inspired Bondi Beach shooting, which killed 15 mostly Jewish Australians during a Hanukkah event.
Grace Tame called Herzog a war criminal, criticised Australia’s democracy, and led chants of ‘From Gadigal to Gaza, globalise the intifada,’ drawing backlash for evoking violent uprisings like October 7 and insensitivity post-Bondi.
Critics, including Jewish leaders and survivors, condemned it as inciting violence, while some defended ‘intifada’ as a call for resistance; protests turned chaotic with arrests, as authorities weigh hate speech laws.
