As an estimated 400,000 people flooded Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, similar celebrations occurred across Gaza and the Arab world, but protesters in Sydney seemed affronted that the war had ended. Professionally hired protesters were perhaps out of a job. Peace was never their aim and hopefully those duped into believing Hamas propaganda will realise that their organisers who failed to regale peace are really relishing war and its dehumanising impacts.
