In short:

Police have seized five posters depicting world leaders in Nazi-like uniforms from the window of a Canberra bar.

The bar was declared a crime scene and was forced to close, while the artist says the works are "clearly satirical".

What's next?

The bar owner says the images are "demonstrably anti-fascist" and that he has no regrets about displaying them.

Ding ding ding

How the fuck is it that Israel can pressure literally the entire world on protecting them whilst they are executing a genocide?

Do they have shit on all world leaders? Are all world leaders so afraid of being called anti semitic that they'd happily support genocide and child murder just to look good? I mean, that must be one fucking good look to be worth all the blood.
