Queensland Muslims ask for police protection over New Zealand far-right activist’s pro-Israel protest
Destinys Church founder Brian Tamaki says his event will include 200 men performing the haka and a speech from Avi Yemini
Queensland Muslims say they are fearful and have requested police protection after a New Zealand far-right activist scheduled a pro-Israel protest for the same central Brisbane location – but an hour earlier – than a planned pro-Palestine rally on Sunday.
The “Anzacs” rally in Brisbane is being promoted by Brian Tamaki, who is the founder of Destiny Church and has a history of Islamophobic comments.
The location of the pro-Palestine protest has since been moved, prompting Tamaki’s website to boast “the Pro-Palestine/Hamas rally has retreated”.
Susan Al-Maani, a Palestinian woman and member of the Free Palestine movement, said she was worried about pro-Palestine activists showing up at the wrong location.
“I’ve been quite anxious and stressed,” she said. “Our rallies are family events.”
