Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has criticised protesters chanting 'from the river to the sea' during demonstrations at Australian universities.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has criticised pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Melbourne, claiming those chanting "from the river to the sea" would not be able to find the Jordan River on a map. The "from the river to the sea" chant has served as a rallying cry for pro-Palestinian supporters and refers to the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
Student protesters have held rallies and established encampments in support of Palestinian people in Gaza , calling on educational institutions to cut ties with Israel and weapons manufacturers. On Monday night, a pro-Palestinian encampment at Melbourne's Deakin University was ordered to disband and had its electricity cut due to "unacceptable behaviour".
