    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    NSW Police say forensic analysis has found no evidence the phrase “gas the Jews” was chanted in videos circulating online from a pro-Palestinian rally at the Sydney Opera House in October.

    On October 9, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters rallied at the landmark, which was lit blue and white in solidarity with Israel following the Hamas attacks on the Jewish state.

    The phrase “gas the Jews” could lead to a prosecution under 93Z of the Crimes Act for publicly threatening or inciting violence on the grounds of race or religion.

    Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-CEO Alex Ryvchin said multiple independent witnesses have verified and declared that the ‘gas the Jews’ phrase, which attracted international media attention was used.

    "The core issue is that on October 9, before Israel had even commenced its military response, just two days after the greatest atrocity inflicted on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, a mob of thugs gathered at one of our nation’s most cherished sites to celebrate the mass slaughter and rape of Israelis, to burn Israeli flags and to chant threateningly towards fellow Australians.

    Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said “the accounts from that night speak for themselves” and that it was “a moment of national shame that shouldn’t have been allowed to take place”.
