"You've seen what the consequences of globalising the intifada are, he said on Monday. It's the deaths of 15 innocent people on the beaches of Bondi beach simply for practising their religion in a peaceful way.

"Details of how the phrase will be outlawed remain unclear after the hate speech proposal was absent from legislation introduced to NSW parliament on Monday. A NSW parliamentary committee will investigate hateful statements, including the phrase, in further hate speech laws to be introduced next year."
"The first Palestinian intifada occurred between 1987 and 1993. It began in December 1987 after an Israeli truck struck two vehicles in Gaza, killing four Palestinians. The event sparked unrest and brutal reprisals from Israeli forces. While figures vary, estimates suggest at least 1,300 Palestinians and 100 Israelis were killed by the end of the intifada."
NSW government moved to limit protest rights and ban the display of hate symbols and to extend hate speech laws after the Bondi mass shooting. Premier Minns singled out the phrase "globalise the intifada" as hateful, linked its use to the Bondi attack, and said he intends to ban the phrase. Details of how the phrase will be outlawed remain unclear after the hate speech proposal was absent from legislation introduced to NSW parliament. A NSW parliamentary committee will investigate hateful statements, including the phrase, for further hate speech laws next year. "Intifada" translates as uprising; two intifadas occurred in 1987–1993 and 2000–2005.
