That was a shocker of an interview/interrogation by David Marr. Marr seemed to be desperate to trip Hedges up. Kudos to Chris Hedges for not losing his cool.

Obvs this was embarrassing and yet another example of Israel turning otherwise sensible people into logic-defying, genocide excusing sycophants. But it's also such a waste of an opportunity. Why wouldn't anyone want to learn from Hedges? The guy has more experience & integrity than almost anyone

Why was David Marr so obsessed that Chris Hedges' tour was being organised by an anti-genocide advocacy group, but not at all concerned that the National Press Club is sponsored by the wealthiest, most complicit genocide enabling weapons manufacturers in the entire world? 🤷‍♂️

Weird interview by David Marr of Chris Hedges. Marr seems to think his job is to stand up for the Press Club (and media like the NY Times)

Fahad Ali - An Archive of Racist Abuse I Recieve Racism against Palestinians is totally normalised in Australia. Here's what I experience daily.

This is work in progress, but I'll soon update this page to contain an extensive archive of racist comments that I receive, primarily on X. The sheer volume is hard to keep up with, but it's important to document. I'll share the raw archive with the Islamophobia Register.

Huge rally for Free Palestine today - I think the biggest ever. South Australian’s want a just, lasting peace, Palestinian statehood and self-determination, hostages free, pursuit of war criminals and an end to any Australian public investment in armaments.

Norwegian riot police used pepper spray to disperse a pro-Palestinian protest outside a World Cup qualifier match between Norway and Israel, which the hosts won 5-0. Several activists were arrested.

Crowd scene of people carrying Palestinian flags, wearing keffiyehs, and signs. The sign reads it’s not complicated. It’s genocide. Free Palestine.

A young woman in blue jeans and a black T-shirt holds a sign above her head which reads 20 point colonisation plan. In the crowd behind her assign can be seen that reads, sanction apartheid Israel

The crowd of Palestinian supporters matches through Murray Street Mall in Perth. Sunshine pause through the tree leaves. A woman in the full ground holds a sign that features PM Albanese photograph & reads: War criminal Complicit in genocide

Massive crowds in every major city and all the small towns protesting also against Israel's genocide and our governments complicity. People are angry and sad and sickened by the monster in chief, albanese.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Raghad. Raghad is 22 years old and was finishing her studies to be a nurse. She wanted to go into nursing because her mother had a stroke that made her lose movement in her arms and legs. They are now displaced with her 10 siblings.

The headlines Australians read – and what we’re told to feel Most people don’t read past the headlines of news articles, either because they don’t have time or because the article itself is paywalled (for example, in Australia, News Corp and Nine websites).

"Russia and Iran are regimes with tentacles committing brutal and irrational acts.

In contrast, ABC presents Israel as a democracy. Despite a scholarly consensus it is committing genocide, all criticism of Israel is removed from headlines in a 'both-siding' process."

The Liberals thought they were being oh so clever elevating Price to lead the disinformation campaign against The Voice referendum.

Now those racist chickens are coming home to roost. #auspol
