As a melbournian myself, it’s really disappointing such a thing would occur, although that said I’m not surprised. I’m surrounded by peers who overwhelmingly support Palestine to the extent that they even have targeted hatred towards Jews, mostly singing songs glorifying genocide and throwing racial slurs, which I hypothesise could be the case here.
It’s to the extent that I am terrified to even mention which side I support, as this group would assault anyone with even slight variation in opinion, and the worst part is that I’m not even able to avoid these individuals as it’s a high school with an overwhelming amount of ‘free radicals’.
Personally I’m not even on a side currently, there’s too much info to sift through about the conflict, so I’d rather wait to form an actual opinion, although I do find I’m siding with Palestine more.
Also, I’d rather not add more stress to my life, I’d rather focus on bettering myself rather than worrying about problems on the other side of the world.
You may live in a different part of Melbourne than myself, as this is my experience in the western suburbs of Melbourne. I’m unsure of what your experience may be, but I’d find it just as valid as my own, since I haven’t been everywhere.

Let me guess which side…

As a Melbournian, that is utter hogwash. You should get a job writing for The Hun.
