NB: In the following discussion the Free Palestine movement includes non-Muslims from the democratic West and elsewhere, along with the Muslim followers of Islam who are actively pursuing a genocide against Jewish people around the world and the destruction of the State of Israel. They have been doing this since the time of Muhammad in 622AD, and have frequently stated they will never cease this barbaric, brutal and genocidal so-called "Holy War" until Israel is no more.

-----------------

US student protest, April 2025.

Abstract: The often "appalling tactics of the Free Palestine movement" are discussed, with examples given in the form of posters and slogans which support the killing of Jews around the world and the destruction of the State of Israel. The primary culprit in this is Islam, which, since the time of Muhammad in 622AD, has pursued the global genocide of Jews and opposed the presence of any Jewish homeland, having exiled them from the Middle-East through various jihad "holy wars" over the last 1,400+ years. The brutality of the HAMAS invasion of Israel on 7 October 2023 revealed the extent of the genocidal activity by the supporters of Islam to the world. However, it also let loose a tidal wave of hatred and antisemitism towards the Jewish people and Israel. This was clearly a case of blaming the victim.

1. Horror

Early in 2024 two posters began circulating amongst the Free Palestine movement, following on the horrific brutality of the HAMAS invasion of Israel on 7 October 2023 (Robb 2024, Weiss 2026). The posters are known to have appeared in New York, Toronto, Canada, and Sydney, Australia. They reflected the brutality of the invasion and the hatred of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. However, they also carried that hatred on to an even more brutal and barbaric level. Unfortunately, the text was a reflection of the Islamic ideology which had driven such attacks against Jews since the time of Muhammad in 622AD. The posters - one of which is reproduced above, and another below - stated the following:

Rape is Resistance - Free Palestine by any means necessary

Babies are occupiers too - Free Palestine by any means necessary

Source: American Jewish Committee, X, 12 March 2024.

Immediately it was asserted that these posters were designed, printed and distributed by Jewish organisations seeking to besmirch the reputation and intent of the Free Palestine movement. No evidence was ever presented to support this accusation. Therefore, in light of other posters and slogans freely adopted by the movement, with similar though not as overtly stated intent, that claim should be dismissed. Those other slogans included the following:

From the river to the sea

Globalize the intifada

Kill the Jews

End apartheid

End the occupation

Free Palestine

End the genocide

2. Grace Tame's call to action

On the evening of Monday, 9 February 2026, during an illegal Free Palestine rally at the Town Hall, Sydney, former 2021 Australian of the Year Grace Tame violently led the following chant before a crowd of thousands of protestors:

From Gadigal to Gaza, globalize the intifada

The chant was calling for the carrying out of violent action against Jewish people around the world - from Sydney to Gaza - and with it the destruction of the Sate of Israel.

Was Tame fully aware of the implications of the chant? It does not matter, because the venom with which she delivered the chant reveals that, at that specific moment in time, she was full of hatred toward the Jewish people, the State of Israel, and the then current visit to Australia of Israeli President Herzog. Her words therefore stand as she was not simply parroting a slogan. The full text of her speech (reproduced below) revealed the depth of her feeling in regard to this issue.

"But that hatred was only the result of the genocidal action taken by the State of Israel against the people of Gaza!" you say.

Israel has not undertaken any genocidal action towards the people of Gaza. Of the 70,000 deaths stated to have occurred in Gaza since the HAMAS - Israel war began following the HAMAS invasion of 7 October 2025, the following is a recent (February 2026) breakdown of death statistics:

* 50,000 deaths - According to HAMAS, this is the number of their combatants killed to this. This figure was released by HAMAS, not by Israel.

* 14,000 deaths - for the population of 2 million Gaza residents, it is calculated that the normal death toll due to age, illness, etc., is approximately this amount.

* 14-17,000 deaths - this is the estimate by Israel of civilians killed by them as part of the war with HAMAS. These deaths are not genocidal, but the victims of war.

The death of a large number of people in Gaza due to the war between HAMAS and Israel is not evidence of a genocide on the part of Israel. In fact, the genocide is on the part of HAMAS, as an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood which has, since 1928, been carrying on the Islamic genocide of Jews around the world.

"But, in regard to what Grace said, this was a humanitarian cry for peace and compassion!" you say.

Was it? Well ..... no.

If Grace Tame had of sought the latter (i.e., peace and compassion) she should have, and most likely would have, said as such. Instead, she chose to use those specific words of hatred and death - Globalize the intifada - and must be held accountable for that. Why? Because that statement is a part of the international Free Palestine movement and, as such, is recognised around the world for the power of what it means, and the brutality and violence applied therein and as outlined above. There is therefore no excuse for Ms. Tame's action. Of course, there are two sides to every story and the following videos reveal some of that. The first is a copy of the complete speech Grace Tame delivered at the Town Hall protest rally.

* Grace Tame's fierce and beautiful speech in full, Mer Ja Media, 10 February 2026, YouTube, duration: 5.57 minutes.

The full text of the speech is as follows:

Good evening. Just like Auntie Lizzy, I didn't come here to be polite. But I will start by thanking Auntie Lizzy and Sister Ness for welcoming us here to this beautiful Gadigal country. I pay respect to elders past and present, to all Mob here from other communities, far and wide. Sovereignty was never ceded here. And there are still so many stories and so much work to be done in the ongoing fight against injustice. Speaking of which, what a backwards world is it when a so-called democracy [Australia] silences and surveils academic research, art, music, and sport. And yet it profits off. it funds genocide. A so-called democracy that punishes peaceful protesters like us, but welcomes a war criminal [Israel President Herzog] with open arms. Yes. Isaac Herzog. I don't even want to say his name. Probably he doesn't deserve it. A man who signed his name on bombs that were used to kill women. A man who also said, and I quote, "There are no innocent civilians in Gaza." That is incitement to genocide. It is advocating collective punishment and most of all it is a fucking lie. But that is all the right-wing fascist state of Israel has left now: lies, bombs, and bloodlust. So why are we [Australia] still supporting them? Because we are a spineless colony of the United States and we depend on their military might. That is it. That is the only reason our political classes across the spectrum have made it clear that they only care about two things: (1) Getting elected and (2) people with money who can engineer that outcome. Hey, the Israel Bobby has been working overtime to cement themselves as one of the most influential political donors. Well, I say let them because you can buy bombs and you can buy politicians, but you cannot buy the truth. You cannot buy our compassion and you cannot buy our love. That is what we have. Those are our weapons, our collective communal weapons. And we will keep fighting with those until the very end. But I need not remind you here of any of this. We don't need convincing. I'm preaching to the choir. There are still so many people, good people, who are scared to speak and scared to act. So what I want you to do after you leave here today is look around you amongst your colleagues, amongst your friends and your families, and find as many people as you can who have not come to a protest and bring them along next time. Wherever we need them. We need everybody. We have to continue to mobilize and we have to continue to globalize. Say it with me: From Gadigal to Gaza - Globalize the Intifada; From Gadigal to Gaza – Globalize the Intifada.

Tame received a lot of criticism for her speech from media, supporters of Israel, and sections of the Right. This included calls to remove her Australian of the Year 2021 award. As a result, she responded as follows on her Instagram account, the day after the rally:

Grace Tame, Instagram, 10 February 2026.

Politicians and the press can deflect all they like, but I'm not the story. The story is that Israel stands accused by the International Criminal Court of committing genocide in Gaza, and so far - after over two years of innocent men, women and children being slaughtered - the only parties who've faced punishment are the victims themselves and critics of the state. Yesterday at a peaceful protest against the arrival of Israeli president Isaac Herzog on our shores, nonviolent attendees acting well within their rights were met with unprovoked police brutality. This should terrify us all. Democracy is eroding before our very eyes.

Tame also made a video statement the following day. This is linked in below. Note, however, that the following video is from Sky News Australia and is the only source the present writer could locate for the original three minute presentation by Tame:

Grace Tame defends intifada response, Sky News Australia, 12 February 2026, YouTube, duration: 10.00 minutes.

Grace Tame reflects the hatred within the Free Palestine movement towards the Jews and the State of Israel. The degree of hatred is unwarranted. This is not to deny the fact that innocent people of Gaza have been killed, injured and dispossessed as a result of the war - a war in which both parties are active participants and therefore responsible in varying degrees to the collateral damage and death of innocent people. It is telling that the Free Palestine movement is basically mute in regards to the actions and responsibilities of HAMAS and Islam in general for the ideology that is the primary driver of the war and the need for Israel to defend itself and seek to defend Jews around the world. As the posters and slogans above show, Palestinians and Muslims are present as victim and heroes in defence of their homeland - Palestine. The fact that Palestine is the traditional homeland of the Jewish people, going back thousands of years, is ignored. Also ignored is the fact that Islam demands the death of the Jews and the destruction of the State of Israel. Islam will never give up on this horrific and barbaric ideology, which it casts as a Holy War.
