Australians have been warned not to import the Israeli–Palestinian conflict Down Under after a Sydney woman was arrested for allegedly burning the Israeli flag during protests - as the United Nations warns the violence in the Middle East could explode into a full-scale war.
At least 200 protestors gathered in Lakemba, Sydney's Muslim heartland, on Tuesday night for an unauthorised anti-Israel rally at the reserve on The Boulevarde.
The ugly scenes on the streets of the city's south-west saw Prime Minister Scott Morrison caution Australians not to bring the war over here.
'Of course we are all very concerned about what is happening there,' he told Ben Fordham on 2GB.
