MORE Reclaim Australia rallies will be held across the country, organisers have promised.

In a video posted on Facebook late on Monday, rally organiser Shermon Burgess, who goes by the name Great Aussie Patriot, promised more rallies would be held soon.

“The next ones are going to be much, much bigger, seeing a lot more people now know that Reclaim Australia is here,” Mr Burgess said.

Mr Burgess criticised police for their management of the Melbourne rally at Federation Square, which saw protesters clash with anti-racism counter-protests.

Hundreds of police had to form barricades to separate the opposing groups as scuffles broke out in the crowd of about 3000.

“I was a bit shocked with police at the Melbourne rally that they did not move the counter-protesters out of the way ... seeing we actually had a permit for that protest,” Mr Burgess said.

The announcement of new rallies comes after a high-profile Sydney criminal lawyer promised to defend anyone from the Reclaim rally who was charged by police.

Australian Jewish Communal Lobby spokesman Daniel Hakim posted on the lobby’s Facebook page on Sunday an offer for free legal service.

Mr Hakim told the Herald Sun he did not believe claims that organisers or attendees at the rallies were neo-Nazis after photos emerged of protesters with tattoos believed to relate to Nazism.

He said he was asked to speak at the Sydney rally but it was held on Passover.

“I was under the impression that people knew what Reclaim was about ... were there people that hate Muslims? I’m sure there were, do I have the same mindset as them? Absolutely not,” Mr Hakim said.

“My community has a very legitimate security concern and we agree with a lot of the tenants of the Reclaim movement.

“Our biggest concern is there are people in this country who are enlivening foreign ancient ethnic conflicts on Australian soil.”

Mr Hakim is known for his work defending Sydney underworld figure Hassan “Sam” Ibrahim on kidnapping charges.

On Monday, he said Mr Burgess was not a neo-Nazi and a photo depicting the organiser in front of a Nazi flag had been doctored.

“Reclaim is not run by, funded by, organised by and directed by neo-Nazis.”

When asked about the Jewish Communal Lobby Mr Hakim said it had more than 2000 members and a seven-person board but would not discuss any more details.
