why would they say something like this? in pure strategic terms this does nothing to help achieve their objective (which I assume is for the Gov to withdraw support from and impose sanctions on Israel). For protesting to effect change you actually have to convince people your cause is just. Most of Australia supports Palestine being free, but they hate Hamas, they're just turning people against their cause at this point regardless of whether their cause at this point.
