NSW Premier Chris Minns has today defended his heavy-handed police officers in Sydney's CBD overnight, as pro-Palestine protests against the visiting Israeli President Isaac Herzog descended into chaos

Minns admitted that the images that are now being beamed around the world 'were not a good look' but he refused to throw his police under the bus, insisting the police had been placed in an "impossible situation last night" as they were tasked with keeping demonstrators and Jewish-Australian mourners apart.

Meanwhile, everyday Australians are even more confused about the cultural fault lines that exist within the domestic political tensions that surround the Gaza conflict.

Firstly, why are protests against the administration of any country being banned? Secondly, why are the protestors using so many imported slogans that normal people don't understand on their cardboard signs?

Another question on everyone's mind is why haven't any of these kind of brutal police tactics ever been deployed against the self-confessed neo-nazis and white supremacists who keep marching through our cities with overtly anti-semitic and racist banners?

Also why do politicians keep using terms like 'social cohesion' for the justification of new laws and police conduct that result in the exact opposite?

With the NSW Government now experiencing dissent from their own MPs, some of whom attending last nights protests themselves, Minns remains confident that his utopian multicultural society is just around the corner - just as soon we can get through this violent but healthy snippet of extreme social incohesion.
