A young Aussie has criticized protesters waving Hezbollah flags at pro-Palestine rallies, accusing them of glorifying a terrorist organization. Conservative commentator Carla Efstratiou called out the protesters in a video posted on social media, questioning why people in the West are supporting terrorist organizations. The Islamic Council of Victoria blamed a small number of people for the Hezbollah flags and stated that they are not welcome. However, fixating on flags serves as a 'convenient distraction' from the violence in the Middle East, according to Australia Palestine Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni. Political leaders have expressed concern over the potential social conflict caused by these protest actions.
