The actions of NSW police are being questioned after videos emerge showing violent scenes at the Sydney protest against Israel's President, Isaac Herzog. Video footage depicts police beating protesters and forcibly removing Muslims praying at the event. Crikey's reporter Daanyal Saeed was there, and describes being hemmed in by police at both ends of the protest. He tells David Marr, "It feels like Muslims are fair game. There are no other religious groups who would be treated like this."  Guest: Daanyal Saeed, Crikey’s media reporterProducers: Catherine Zengerer and David Marr
