‘Imbecilic’ pro-Palestine activists who ‘hijacked’ televised family carols event slammed

Sky News host Caroline Marcus has slammed pro-Palestine activists for “crossing the line” after they “hijacked” the televised family event Carols by Candlelight in Melbourne. This comes after a live broadcast of Melbourne’s Carols by Candlelight event was disrupted by a pro-Palestinian protest. Victoria Police arrested a 21-year-old woman over the “concealment of a controlled weapon” while a second person was moved on. “Those poor children had to be escorted off the stage in a panic – they would have had no idea what was happening,” Ms Marcus said. “How utterly imbecilic do you have to be to think that the best way to get your message across is to gatecrash a Christmas family event? “These sorts of ‘guerilla tactics’, as they’re being described today, will do nothing but turn people off a cause.”
