SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian police said on Friday a forensic analysis did not find evidence pro-Palestinian protesters chanted "gas the Jews" outside the Sydney Opera House last year, but the investigation found some used anti-Semitic slogans. Around 1,000 pro-Palestinian supporters marched through downtown Sydney in October to the city's iconic Opera House, which the government had illuminated in the colours of the Israeli flag following an attack by Hamas. "The phrase chanted during that protest ... was 'Where's the Jews? Lanyon said there was evidence of other "offensive and completely unacceptable" anti-Semitic statements used by protesters. Police will continue to investigate if offences were committed during the protests, Lanyon said.
