The pro-Hamas savages are totalitarians. You must submit and do as they demand, or you will not get a moment’s peace.

“Carols by Candlelight live TV Christmas broadcast ambushed by pro-Palestinian protest,” Sky News Australia, December 24, 2023:
A live broadcast of Melbourne’s Carols by Candlelight event has been disrupted by a pro-Palestinian protest. Activists were seen ambushing the stage interrupting the family show, causing chaos on Christmas eve. The moment a protester ambushed the stage was captured during the live television broadcast and has been slammed by viewers online as an ‘utter disgrace’. Carols by Candlelight is an annual Christmas celebration run by the Vision Australia charity. The broadcaster of the event, Channel Nine, cut away from the scenes of the protest in the live broadcast but the audio was still transmitted.
The Carols by Candlelight broadcast from Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl was disrupted by a pro-Palestinian activist protest, rushing the stage just after 8:20pm on Christmas Eve.
The moment that a protester ambushed the stage was captured during the live television broadcast and has been slammed by viewers online as an “utter disgrace”.
Carols by Candlelight is an annual Christmas celebration run by the Vision Australia charity.
The event is described by organisers as an opportunity to “light up the lives” of Australians and to spread joy at Christmas.
“For 86 years, Australians have come together to celebrate the spirit of Christmas and community at Carols by Candlelight”, Vision Australia’s website reads.
The broadcaster of the event, Channel Nine, cut away from the scenes of the protest in the live broadcast but the audio was still transmitted.
This year’s event was disrupted by the activist protest on stage brandishing Palestinian flags to interrupt the event, taking over the microphone from hosts David Campbell and Sarah Abo.
The protest was immediately slammed on social media with TV executive Rob McKnight asking “Seriously, people think it’s ok to protest at Carols By Candelight? How pathetic.”
“Yeah, let’s scare the kids performing on stage. What a bunch of morons,” McKnight wrote….

Utterly disgraceful. In Canada, it is illegal to disrupt a religious service, which is what this was (Christmas carols are celebrating a Christian holy day). Is there a similar law in Australia, and if so, why weren’t these people arrested?
J West says
Why you put up with these Orcs is beyond me.
Zon says
Tell that to Pastor Artur Pawlowski that was trying to hold services during Covid. Only, it was the police and health department that came to interrupt..
O'mara says
Under the guise of mere Pro-Palestinian demonstrations, the always-angry and disaffected Muslim immigrants across Europe and Australia are publicly flexing their numerical muscles. This Islamic fifth-column is unsubtly warning respective governments that they are capable of causing immense internal strife at a moments notice and are only restrained by their well known ‘chivalrous’ concern for human lives.
Namer says
This is the new normal so deal with it or stop whining and stop this garbage. These pampered young people who are desperately looking for a cause to be part of and need to see there are consequences to their actions.

These scum are pro-terror in all of its evil forms….rape, torture, and murder…including threats and intimidation.
Christians and people celebrating Christmas have no control over what is happening in Gaza, nor what the government of Israel decides. This means that the pro-terror mobs are just doing what they would do any other time they see a way to threaten and intimidate; and opportunity as they gain in boldness. These ghouls want to make people unhappy and miserable, so they are taking advantage of the *excuse* given them by the war against their fellow ghouls in Israel.
These lawbreakers and terrorists are all about hurting others, even when they are fully aware that the ones they hurt are without any political power and no control over what governments of other nations do or don’t do. This Gaza/hamas business is just being used as cover for what they want to do anyway.
FYI says
Good that they were booed.
Looked like typical Looney Lefty hypocrites.waving the Pali flag and fit to be sectioned for their disturbed behavior..
Of course the Pally people who gave us the PLO and HAMAS terrorists-.they are completely innocent, right?The Pally’s committed horrific atrocities against Jewish people.Before the attack in October they were firing rockets into Israel.
The lefty hypocrites choose to ignore what HAMAS did and are.
islam has an official policy of Genocide towards the Jews
muslims and lefty lunatics:leave Christmas alone.i will ridicule the RED-GREEN AXIS
“FEE FEE PARATINE”
Leftard dylexics for Paratine

They are like those smug middleclass Just Stop Oil lunatics preventing people going to work.
The clothes they wear,the bicycles they use …contain/use//or are made out of Petroleum products as any Organic Chemist surely will confirm!
machinery needs oil for lubrication.Bicycles need oil.
You can’t stop oil..you need oil.Thanks oil!

Exactly what I thought, they are mimicking Just Stop Oil.

Swap the word Oil with Jews! That’s what this is all about.
mea says
which is a religious hate crime carried out by the usual gang of religious plagiarized, blaspheming, bastardizing mohamadans…. of course the French government employees being the extorted and/or bribed tools of their mohammadan master will do nothing but protect the crime committing mohamadan heretics.
but everyone already knows all this an will do nothing except allow their publicly paid, mohammadan extorted and bribed, employees to protect their mohamadan terroist masters.

I imagine that the organisers of this event would not have been surprised by this brief demo of the Pro-Palestinian scumbags because the pro-Palestinian demos have been going on and on here in Australia, just as they have been around the world. There have been some more peaceful Pro-Israel rallies and free the hostages type shows of support (very dignified and peaceful and civilised) as well. I suspect that these people would probably be the usual left wing wanker brigade who spend their whole useless lives demonstrating over some issue or other. Merry Christmas to all my fellow haters of barbaric islam here at Jihad Watch. Let’s hope that far more people wake the hell up to the evil nature of islam soon. It is taking a hell of a long time, that’s for sure. Once enough people do wake up to islam, islam and its followers will, at last, cop what they so richly deserve.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
So how much opposition is there in the Australian public to Israel in general, Tim? Oh, and Merry Christmas to you as well!
tim gallagher says
Plenty of the fashionable pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel sentiment is infecting Australians, Infidel. I find that whatever is trending in the USA and Europe will be pretty much the same here. They used to say that anything that is catching on in the USA will be here in Australia withing a few years and probably not much has changed. many trends will come here from the USA or sometimes from Europe, well the UK mainly. For example, all that gender fluidity and trans crap, all the black lives matter,etc, are somewhat popular with the left wingers out here, so naturally the sickening hatred for the Jews and the pro-Palestinian crap is popular here, although things are quietening down lately Mery Christmas to you.
I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
Have Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists and people of other faith disrupted any of the 2 muslim Eid festivals? None that I can think of. Maybe we should turn the tables on them next year and let’s see what happens. The whole Christian, Hindu and Buddhist world should turn on them.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
That needs to start happening in different non-muslim countries, be it in Europe, Canada, Australia, India & so on. muslims need to be made to feel insecure whenever they celebrate their various eids, so that they are less at ease when it comes to disrupting infidel festivals

AUSTRALIAN PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS CHANT ‘GAS THE JEWS’ AS POLICE WARN JEWISH PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY FROM AREA
..
“This behavior will not ‘Free Palestine,’ it’s just shameful,” pro-Israel activist Hen Mazzig said.
“Carols by Candlelight is the largest annual fundraiser for Vision Australia’s children’s services, with all proceeds from the event supporting services for families and children who are blind or low vision,” the program’s description said.
Just goes to show that the pro-terror “disrupters” don’t give a hoot about children.

I’m sorry about the extra stuff in this post….I didn’t realize my copy of some of the page captured so much extra unwanted info.
Marc, if you wish, just delete the entire comment. Thanks.

I’m sure that will help Hamas win over public opinion in Melbourne, just like them blocking traffic in New York and Chicago helps them sway American public opinion to their cause. Wonder whether they’ll be shocked when they find out how low the percentage of support is for Antifa/BLM/Jihadist axis both in America and around the world. Another hint, Shamrutas: all those teenagers screaming “River to the Sea” do not vote in elections

Western countries need to be better at taking out the garbage.
BoneheadBraggs says
What the Western World has not come to grips with is that these pro-Hamas, pro-Palestine renegades are anti-Christ in full bloom. Islam itself is anti-Christ and those of us who allow our governments to permit so-called freedom of speech are enabling the smooth domination of the Western World by the anti-Christian faith of Islam in our midst. Why are we not marching for Christ?

I would recommend horsewhippinging for these idiots only it would make them martyrs.Oh well do it anyway,I’m sure a lot of people would like to volunteer to do it!
