Australian state weighs ban on 'globalize the intifada' chants, masked protesters in wake of Hanukkah attack

AI Summary
In response to a recent mass shooting at a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration that killed 15, the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) is considering a ban on the chant "globalize the intifada" and masked protesters. Premier Chris Minns stated the ban aims to combat hate speech and incitement of violence, giving police greater authority to demand the removal of face coverings during demonstrations. The proposed legislation would also prohibit public displays of ISIS flags and extremist symbols, with offenses punishable by imprisonment and fines. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the Bondi Beach attack was inspired by ISIS and announced measures to curb radicalization and hate speech. The announcement follows rising antisemitism in Australia and concerns raised by community leaders prior to the attack.
