Crikey was on the ground at the Sydney protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. We captured the confusion about how and where protesters should leave the rally, beginning with a heated discussion between NSW Police and NSW Greens MPs.

Does anyone know the condition of this man?
Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Huh. Almost like absolutely everyone saw this coming from the minute the government invited the Israeli head of state and told Sydneysiders they couldn't protest about it.

A content warning for very, very significant police violence on this video: Israeli President Herzog is visiting Australia, and police in New South Wales are violently bashing prone protesters.
The media is framing it in completely neutral terms.
Watch the video, then look at the headlines.

Completely sickening
Assistant police commissioner Peter McKenna: "It was really quite precarious at times for our officers who were significantly outnumbered by the protesters and the people who wanted to act in a violent and offensive manner."

‘A Premier who dines with a leader accused of genocide, who has signed the bombs dropped on civilians, while his police break the arm of an 84-y-o woman, assault a woman with Parkinson’s, spray a seizing child in the face, and brutalise people at prayer has forfeited all moral authority to govern.’
"This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it ... I was there".

While the premier - to great applause - said "Thank you friends" to the Israel Lobby.
