President of the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network Nasser Mashni refused to condemn the protest that led to the cancellation of the annual Myer Christmas window-reveal in Melbourne. The pro-Palestine group Disrupt Wars had planned to rally and 'Crash the Christmas windows' at the event, but cancelled their own protest due to public backlash. Mashni, who is involved in weekly Sunday protests in Melbourne, stated that the furore over the Myer protest has given them an opportunity to raise awareness about the issues faced by Palestinians. The cancellation of the event has sparked anger from Jewish leaders.
