Israeli man was the only person arrested at 2023 Palestinian Sydney Opera House protest
Sky News host Rowan Dean blasts attendees of the October 9 Sydney Opera House Palestinian protests, claiming the only man arrested during the protests was a man carrying the Israeli flag. 'No arrests that night, no security guards banging on about bylaws being breached, nobody being harassed for waving massive flags and placards and letting off flares,' Mr Dean said. 'No heavy security dudes exercising 'my authority' and getting upset about people arguing with them. 'In fact, the only person that police did arrest that night was one single man carrying a Star of David flag – you cowards, you bullies.'

Ye's Seoul concert canceled after Hitler praise controversy
Coupang Play cancels Ye's first Korea concert after recent song glorifies Adolf Hitler Coupang Play has canceled Ye's upcoming concert in Seoul, citing ongoing controversies surrounding the rapper, including his recent open praise of Adolf Hitler. On Monday, the streaming platform announced the cancellation of Ye's concert, which was to be held May 31, and said sales of official merchandise would be suspended starting Monday at 1 p.m. The decision follows a series of inappropriate remarks and actions by the artist. In a 2022 interview, Ye sparked global outrage by saying that he sees 'good things about Hitler, also,' and later shared an image that combined the Nazi swastika with the Jewish Star of David in a post on social platform X. Most recently on May 8, or Victory in Europe Day, which commemorates the end of World War II in Europe, West released a new song titled 'Heil Hitler,' further fueling criticism. The track features the phrase 'Heil Hitler' repeated more than 15 times, and samples a 1935 speech by Adolf Hitler at the end of the song. The track has been flagged as harmful content and is currently unavailable on major global streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and SoundCloud.
