The point about the Advance donation issue is the hypocrisy. Jillian Segal wants to police everyone’s speech while defending her husband’s right to fund an organisation that propagates racism. Her position is untenable.

Doctors in Gaza are now reporting that the Israeli military is shooting Palestinian teenage boys in the genitals. They're luring them in with food, then shooting them in the testicles.

This. Is. Genocide. Horrific beyond words.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

'No' to Jillian Segal's antisemitism action plan Representing Jews Against the Occupation ’48 (JAO48), I would like to share our response to Jillian Segal’s “antisemitism action plan”. In short: we reject it.

Segal does not represent Jews Against the Occupation ’48 views and experience in any way. She is viewed as a special envoy to protect Israel’s interests, not to combat antisemitism. #auspolo #SpecialEnvoy #IsraelPalestine

I am struggling to comprehend that I am living in a time when my government (and a Labor government at that), the opposition, the establishment media and other assorted 'social commentators' are telling me to love and support Nazism, now labelled 'Zionism.'

I mean ... no. Fuck off. #GazaGenocide

"For the better part of a decade the public broadcaster has been repeatedly buffeted off-course by members of its board going weak-kneed before the gripes of the persistent and the powerful even when those complaints have little, if any, merit."

Louis Theroux's #TheSettlers is a doco on the ultra-nationalist Israelis who have invaded and illegally occupy land in the Palestinian territory of the #WestBank. The doco explores their views, actions, and plans for #Gaza. Deeply disturbing. #FreePalestine iview.abc.net.au/show/louis-t...

Pope Leo condemns US bombing Iran

I've emailed my ALP MP too.

Oh, such a tangled web it is that we weave. #NoMoreLies #NoMoreGenocide #NoMoreWars

Albanese government criticised for ‘weak’ response to US attacks on Iran as experts decry ‘flagrant breach’ of law Former adviser to Penny Wong argues Australia should make clear ‘we are a country that stands up … for the rules-based order’

The US bombing Iran is a flagrant breach of the international rules-based order, said Allan Behm, special adviser at the Australia Institute.

Australia should have “made clear we are a country that stands up … for the rules-based order”. #auspol

I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show.

It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

It's nauseating if not sinister to watch the ghoulish line-up of Vance, Rubio and Hesgeth behind their Presidential caricature as he gloats about acting wingman for a war criminal.

Very convenient for Netanyahu that the focus is now on Iran. Was that the plan? 🤔

War on Gaza: How Israel is replicating Nazi starvation tactics The weaponisation of food echoes the horrors of the Jewish ghettos, as Palestinians are pushed beyond the limits of human endurance

"—nowhere [else] on Earth—is an entire population, young/old, locked inside a flattened, walled-off strip of land, bombed from the air, shelled from the sea & systematically starved under total siege.

"Gaza is not a battlefield. It is a prison. A graveyard."

👏👏👏 Yes, all of the above!

Trump lashes out over viral 'TACO trade' meme. What does it stand for? President Donald Trump was confronted with an acronym pointed at his trade policy this week.

Trump would hate to know that TACO is still the #1 trend on X and Bluesky...

And he'd meltdown if this post were to go viral.

It's genius, because it's true.

ICYMI:

I'd prefer wind turbines and solar panels to ugly open cut mines. And farmers who host wind and solar have an opportunity to supplement their incomes and solar provides valuable shade for grazing animals.

1966?

Labor's middle-way timidity on Gaza genocide sums up Australia's indifference Labor has tried to walk a fine line on Israel's actions in Gaza. The ramping up of genocide and ethnic cleansing has made that strategy unviable.

Opinion | While France, the UK and Canada condemn Israel and threaten it for mass starvation and ethnic cleansing, Australia sits limply by, saying little. @keanebernard.bsky.social writes.

65 reasons why Dutton is unfit to be PM No stranger to controversy, Peter Dutton's offensive pattern of behaviour continues to darken his political career.

Do the people who use woke as a pejorative understand its true meaning which is alert to injustice?

Laura Tingle “The only really major policy that the Coalition keeps coming back to in terms of spending restraint is beating up public servants.”💯💥 Sad but true.

Why do all these people want Dutton, The Thug, to be Prime Minister ?

Dutton flat-out lied. Why won’t journos just say it?

Destroying America from within.
