In short:

Police have seized five posters depicting world leaders in Nazi-like uniforms from the window of a Canberra bar.

The bar was declared a crime scene and was forced to close, while the artist says the works are "clearly satirical".

What's next?

The bar owner says the images are "demonstrably anti-fascist" and that he has no regrets about displaying them.

The more governments double-down on trying to suppress criticism of Israel, the more anti-Israel people will become. It's almost like people don't like having their free speech rights encroached upon by a foreign entity.
