…. and a government that enables this. Revolting.

Melbourne pro-Palestine activist who openly called for ‘armed resistance’, ‘death’ to America outside city’s US consulate referred to the Australian Federal Police
No, he is not a “Pro-Palestine Activist”, and he is not “leading”. The guy is a Mohammedan headbanger who shoulda never been allowed to enter the country. Like most of his ilk, he was admitted under false pretences, and he should be ejected at once.
A leading Palestinian activist who urged his supporters to form an “armed resistance” and called for “death” to America outside the Melbourne US embassy has been referred to federal and state police.

A leading Palestinian activist has been referred to federal and state police after openly calling for “armed resistance” on the streets of Melbourne.
Sky News has exclusively obtained disturbing new video of Mohammad Sharab, who is on bail for unrelated charges of kidnapping and assault, calling for death to America and its allies and warning he and supporters would dig “tunnels”, understood to be a reference to Hamas’ terror tunnels.
The tirade took place outside the US Consulate in Melbourne’s CBD on US Independence Day on July 4, in full view of police.
“We believe in the armed resistance, I say bring back the armed resistance,” Sharab can be heard telling a cheering crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters.

More below the fold.
Why can’t we imprison our political opponents?
Mehreen Faruqi calls for Lord’s prayer removal from parliament but remains silent on Hamas
“Deputy Greens Leader Mehreen Faruqi caused a stir on the weekend when appearing on the ABC she repeatedly refused to say whether Hamas should be dismantled,” he said.

“We’re going to start the armed resistance and we’re going to celebrate the fall of that colony. Inshallah, we will. Long live the resistance.”
Wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh and a cap in the colours of the Palestinian flag, the 37-year-old repeatedly calls for death to America, Israel and other Western countries.
“Death – that is what America deserves,” Sharab says.
“That’s what American colony deserves. That’s what American leaders deserves [sic].
“We do have consciousness and the will to keep rising up, to come up and put an end to this colony.”
Sharab begins the speech by referring to Australia as “stolen land” and later refers to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as an “American puppet”.
“We’ve been asking nicely; now the world, consciously, is going to shift into this,” Sharab warns.
“When we say, ‘end the genocide or else’, ‘ceasefire or else’…. If you want someone to dig tunnels, you know who to call. We’re going to start the armed resistance and we’re going to celebrate the fall of that colony.”
Sharab was charged with the kidnap and assault of a 31-year-old Melbourne man in February.
Alongside Melbourne human rights activist and charity founder Laura Allam, Sharab is accused of bundling the man into a car, attacking him with a hammer and stomping on his head.
The pair’s identities could only be revealed after a court lifted a gag order in March, following a challenge from media outlets.
Sharab has frequently been seen leading protests in Melbourne and has been filmed openly wearing the Hamas emblem.
In one video posted to his Instagram account, he says: “Long live the resistance. Long live f***ing Hamas.”
He was also a regular presence at Melbourne universities’ pro-Palestinian encampments, making headlines after he was filmed abusing a Jewish Monash University student, telling him to “f*** off”.
Victorian Opposition deputy leader David Southwick said last week’s speech was the most violent he’d seen from the radical activist.
After being shown the video by Sky News, Mr Southwick referred the matter to the AFP and Victorian Police commissioners.
“We don’t know where this is going to lead and if this isn’t hate, if this isn’t extremism and breaching our anti-terrorism and anti-extremism laws, then I don’t know what is,” Mr Southwick said.
“This is really disturbing, the fact that this extremist would be outside the US Consulate, outside the embassy and calling for death to America, death to Israel, calling for arms, also referring to the Hamas tunnels and effectively suggesting these kinds of actions should be done here on our own soil in Australia and Victoria.
“That is a sign of a very desperate individual. That should be properly investigated.”
The Liberal MP said that Sharab had become a “figurehead” and “spokesperson” for the pro-Palestinian movement at the weekly protests in Melbourne, including on the steps of state parliament.
“It’s time for people to consider who they’re standing with who’s leading the weekly protests,” Mr Southwick said.
“This is not peaceful. This is inciting hate, violence, extremism and bordering on terrorism and this guy should be properly investigated.”
Sharab’s lawyer Brett Barratt said neither he nor his client had any comment.
Sky News has gone to the AFP and Victoria Police for a response.
Sharab and Ms Allam are due to face the Melbourne Magistrates Court over the kidnapping and assault charges on Friday.
