The word you never hear from “anti-war” protestors is “peace”. They use violence and the threat of violence to advance their agenda. Today in Melbourne they have attacked buskers, police and horses. They celebrate when Hamas commits acts of ultra-violence. They cheer when the Houthis violently commandeer a ship and spill fuel into the sea or when a drone hits an apartment block in a city. They want to see cities burn and people marched from their land or otherwise disposed of. They revel in violence. And they think that those they target will just lie down and take it which is why they lose their minds when police stand their ground or communities organise against them or armies launch counterterrorism operations. Their utter inability to understand that it is their violence that is the problem and the cause of war shows either supreme arrogance or profound stupidity.
