On November 28, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that New South Wales (NSW) Police have sent a video, of the controversial pro-Arab protest that occurred at the Southern Forecourt of the Sydney Opera House on the night the World Heritage site was lit up in the colours of the Israeli flag in solidarity with that country after an attack on it by Hamas, away for “independent, expert analysis”, as part of Operation Mealing.
A NSW Police spokesperson told The Sydney Morning Herald that investigations into the alleged chanting of the anti-semitic phrase “Gas the Jews” at that protest were ongoing:
NSW Police are yet to confirm wording used during the October 9, 2023 protest. Investigators have sent a video recording for independent, expert analysis. No person has been charged with speaking the words “Gas the Jews”.
