Israeli MP at centre of Australian visa row says choice is Israel or Hamas As Australia and Israel trade visa cancellations, the far-right Israeli politician at the centre of the storm says Australia needs to choose between Israel and Hamas.

Rothman rejects the two-state solution. The dichotomy is therefore not the one he pretends. It's #Israel or #Palestine
If we can have only one, then which should it be?

[masthead of 'Crikey' magazine] How neo-Nazi support for a viral anti-immigration rally exposed fractures among ‘freedom’ groups The ‘March for Australia’ was gaining momentum among a pandemic-era coalition of anti-lockdown and nationalist groups. Then a neo-Nazi organisation claimed it was behind it.

"... with organisers of the planned march still hiding their identity, supporters are demanding answers."

david kersten @davidkersten There are 195 countries in the world. 186 DO NOT regard Hamas as a TERRORIST organisation but as RESISTANCE to Israeli Occupation. Only 9 ISOLATED countries call Hamas TERRORISTS. US, UK, Canada, Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Paraguay. Perspective. 9:39 AM · Aug 2, 2025 · 281.2K Views

Those same countries are trying to shut down free speech, have criminalised peaceful protest and at least one has declared holding a paper sign to be a terrorist activity.

If other countries did that, our media would refer to them as repressive regimes.

Daany Saeed @daanysaeed The Bendigo Writers Festival has released a statement following withdrawals from 59% of its program over a last-minute distribution of a code of conduct containing a controversial definition of antisemitism.

53 speakers (59% of the program) withdrew. Another 3 speakers were subsequently cancelled.

I haven't been able to find a link to the statement.

The Complex History of Israel’s Establishment: Beyond the Heroic Narrative The establishment of Israel involved colonial alliances and dispossession creating a refugee crisis that persists today.

Israel is a settler colonial society which displaced the indigenous population

Pro-Israel group lobbied La Trobe and Bendigo Writers Festival over Palestinian academic's institution A leaked letter reveals pressure from a pro-Israel group in the lead up to the Festival

Well there you go. Bendigo Writers Festival has been absolutely played, forced to do the dirty work of lobbyists by their sponsor. When these threats come knocking, academic institutions should be doing everything to protect and defend this country’s cultural events, not become Israel’s enforcer.

n-3m0.bsky.social ‪@n-3m0.bsky.social‬ I'm fully aware that Zionism takes many forms. Not all involve land, but yours seems to. That's the problem. Palestine already belongs to other people. Creating the Judenstaat entails dispossessing the existing population. Thus, there is no such thing as left-wing National Zionism.

What's the reasoning behind it?

An intriguingly psychopathic reaction. Denying the existence of people is Nazi-level racism.

An Israeli historian's perspective:
“The conflict with our neighbors didn’t begin in 1967 or in 1948. It began with the onset of Zionist settlement, at the end of the 19th century.”

Bendigo Writers Festival has questions to answer over ‘untenable’ code of conduct for authors Bendigo Writers Festival has had to cancel 11 sessions, as writers withdraw over a code of conduct sent two days ago.

Bendigo doesn't deserve this. Of 80 speakers scheduled for the festival, up to 50 have withdrawn. 21 sessions are reported cancelled.

Israel's 'trust us' mentality loses power as it targets journalists Israel has provided documents it says justify its killing of a high-profile Palestinian journalist in Gaza. But the "trust us" mentality employed by Israeli authorities has long lost its power.

"Scepticism regarding anything Israel has to say about its conduct in Gaza has spread far and wide."
