Herzog is welcome to visit. While he’s here, Israel has questions to answer Israeli President Isaac Herzog is entitled to much more than basic respect. Australia is also entitled to hope his visit will result in the intrusion of a small gleam of light upon a dark landscape.

"The government of Israel has inexcusably denied the authority not only of the Security Council but also of the ICJ. Yet these are two ultimate sources of international law".

Yes indeed. I'm waiting for a bit more about the Epstein-Israel connection - Mandelson is of Polish-Jewish extraction. Starmer got rid of Jeremy Corbin with allegations of anti-semitism.

This is either corruption or unforgivable naivety on Starmer's part.

Either way, Brits are right to be furious. Such betrayal.

The global ripples from the Epstein horrors are turning into tsunamis.

You'd think/hope not. But Israelis are a special case (well, they think so anyway)

Inside Indonesia’s Board of Peace diplomacy on Palestine Indonesia’s decision to join the Board of Peace places it inside a US-dominated body whose approach to Gaza risks prioritising reconstruction over sovereignty, rights and political legitimacy.

Are they keeping Herzog’s parliamentary address secret because they know it’ll be controversial? Ofc.
Calling for social cohesion while organising something they know will inflame anger and protest is outrageous. And the press gallery’s role in keeping it secret is unforgivable.

This Israeli war crime is beyond depraved "Every accusation is a confession"

Remember that if you are accused of lying or hate speech by an apologist for Israel, or if they tell you of some atrocity by Hamas, an accusation can often mask a confession:

Two frames. 1. Customs and Border Protection agent with suitcase open holding two pieces of paper, says to man opposite, β€œPresident Herzog, we note there’s a photo of you here signing a bomb meant for Gazans, as well as a UN accusation of incitement to genocide…” 2. Same scene but agent is handing closed suitcase to the man saying β€œWelcome to Australia and enjoy your stay.”

He has a terrible five o'clock shadow. It makes him look unkempt and sinister - which he probably is, given his penchant for signing bombs.

Barrister’s powerful speech at Filton Trial reminds jury of its right to defy judge Starmer and the media need convictions to justify Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist group. Rajiv Menon KC spells out to the jury why it is a vital last defence against government tyranny.

Why is the Australian government hosting the President of Israel? As President Isaac Herzog prepares for an official visit, Australia faces serious questions about international law, diplomatic process, and the values it claims to uphold.
