Bondi’s Blood, Herzog’s Shield: How Australia’s Grief was Hijacked for Geopolitics The Massacre as a Mirror The Bondi massacre was not an aberration. It was a reflection, a brutal, unfiltered image of the fractures in Australia’s legal frameworks, the cynicism of its political class...

“Australia’s foreign policy must be consistent with its legal obligations. Inviting leaders accused of war crimes to stand as symbols of national mourning is not just hypocritical; it is a violation of our duties under international law.”

Trump White House voices opposition after Israel unveils plan to increase control over West Bank Israel’s security cabinet has approved plans that pave the way for more settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory A White House official has reiterated Donald Trump’s opposition towards Israel annexing the West Bank, after Israeli plans were announced that would pave the way for more settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory. The measures, announced on Sunday, included allowing Jewish Israelis to buy West Bank land directly, and extending greater Israeli control over areas where the Palestinian Authority exercises power. It was unclear when the new rules, approved by Israel’s security cabinet, would take effect but they do not require further approval. Continue reading...

"Calls for 'social cohesion' are a form of power speech, in which the powerful attempt to dictate what those with less power can legitimately say.
...When governments use power speech, however, it comes with the backing of state-sanctioned violence."

Minns has smashed his own lie. #nswpol #auspol

So far today I’ve heard both Minns and Albanese blaming protesters for the violence by breaking the law.
Let’s talk about both of them breaking the law by supplying asylum to a wanted criminal and refusing to honour their commitments to the United Nations by arresting Herzog. That’s grounds for

For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal.

For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.

He’s not wrong.

Antisemitism Envoy admits she 'wasn't focused on' unequal protections in 'hate laws' seeking to protect only one religion. The bias isn't a bug it's a feature.

Whether intentionally or with callous word choice, too many have begun relegating Palestine to the past tense.

@BBCNews rightly notes re Russian attacks on Ukrainian power stations that “attacking civil infrastructure is against the laws of war”. Just odd that they rarely if ever said the same about massive Israeli attacks on civil infrastructure including hospitals in Gaza.

The legal fight to open Gaza to foreign press has failed As Israel’s Supreme Court continues enabling the government’s foreign media ban, Palestinian journalists are paying the price. It's time to change course.

Herzog has blustered to sympathetic Australian journos about "lies and distortions" on Israel's role in Gaza.

He cannot be taken seriously while the Israeli regime continues to ban foreign media.

We can only surmise they have something to hide.
Like a genocide.

Iran’s Foreign Minister: “The Palestinian issue is not like other issues. It is a litmus test for the effectiveness of international law.”

“What we see in Gaza is not a war or a conflict between equal parties, but a deliberate destruction of civilian life & genocide.”

How is a call for the freedom of Palestinians “controversial”?

Palestinians are subject to Israel’s brutally oppressive apartheid regime, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

What is more “threatening”?

A call for freedom?

Or murder, assault, apartheid, genocide?

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social and @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social - THIS is what Zionism is, and THIS is what you are protecting at all costs while you spit in the faces of Australians.

Zionist are NOT Australians. They may live amongst us, but it is not Australian to support a murderous, genocidal regime.

Isaac Herzog is accused of inciting genocide in Gaza. He shouldn’t be welcomed to Australia Writing in the Guardian on Thursday UN Commissioner Chris Sidoti laid out the reasons Isaac Herzog should not be welcome in Australia, and urged the Prime Minister to correct his terrible mistake in inviting him.

Australia should withdraw its invitation to Israel’s president on legal, ethical and social grounds. Findings of international courts and the risk to social cohesion cannot be ignored, writes Chris Sidoti.
