Oxford students and members of Your Party have taken part in a demonstration where protesters chanted "long live the Intifada," just hours after the terror attack on Bondi Beach.
The protests, which had been organised prior to the mass shooting that killed 15 people on Sunday, were in support of eight alleged Palestine Action members who are on hunger strike while awaiting trial.
Palestine Action is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK.
They are awaiting trials for alleged break-ins at an Israeli defence company and a Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire.

Similar protests have taken place across the country, such as in Birmingham, Manchester and Snaresbrook Crown Court, where the hunger strikers are to stand trial.
Your Party co-founder Zarah Sultana stood outside HMP Bronzefield on Wednesday, where she vowed to remain until one striker, Qesser Zuhrah, was transported to hospital.
The inmate was taken in an ambulance on Wednesday evening.
The protest in Oxford was attended by Your Party and Oxford Action for Palestine activists.

| PAA Your Party spokesman said: "The antisemitic attack in Sydney was horrifying and our thoughts are with the Jewish communities fearing for their safety.
"We strongly reject any attempt to pit opposition to antisemitism against the struggle for Palestinian freedom."
In the wake of Australia's most devastating mass shooting in almost 30 years, Met Police and Greater Manchester Police said placards and chants such as "globalise the intifada" would be met with action, including arrest, to "deter intimidation".
"Intifada" is an Arabic word that translates to "uprising" and refers to Palestinian protests against Israel.

"The words and chants used, especially in protests, matter and have real-world consequences," the police said.
"Violent acts have taken place, the context has changed – words have meaning and consequence. We will act decisively and make arrests."
The UK's chief rabbi described the decision as "an important step towards challenging the hateful rhetoric we have seen on our streets, which has inspired acts of violence and terror".
Police began their action this week. On Tuesday, Oxford student Samuel Williams was arrested and charged after videos emerged on social media allegedly showing him chanting for Gaza to "put the Zios in the ground".
The university had been criticised by Sir Keir Starmer in October, with the Prime Minister saying Oxford had been slow to react to the viral video.

Two further arrests were made on Wednesday for "racially aggravated public order offences" after the individuals allegedly "shouted slogans involving calls for intifada" at a pro-Palestinian protest in central London.
Following the Bondi Beach massacre, it was also confirmed police across Britain would increase their visibility with upcoming Hanukkah events.
The move was criticised by Palestinian Solidarity Campaign director Ben Jamal, who said it was "another low in the political repression of protest for Palestinian rights".
"The horrific massacre in Sydney, Australia, should not be used as a justification to further repress fundamental democratic rights of protest and free speech in this country," he added.
