Australia’s Albanese Should Raise Israeli Crimes During Herzog Visit In the wake of the Bondi Hannukah attack, the deadliest mass shooting in Australia in three decades, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese invited Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit, to “engage with me...

Australia’s Albanese Should Raise Israeli Crimes During Herzog Visit

Support Jewish Australians But Denounce Israeli Government Atrocities #AusPol www.hrw.org/news/2026/02...

The very same

We warned of surging antisemitism before Bondi attack, says Israeli president At the start of his Australian visit, Isaac Herzog accused pro-Palestinian protesters of seeking to undermine Israel’s right to exist.

Really contributing to social cohesion - smearing those critical of Israel's actions in Gaza, suggesting the govt (that stupidly invited him) was in some way responsible for the Bondi atrocity.

A Threshold Crossed The 213-page report, “A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution,” examines Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. It presents the present-day reality of a singl...

I’m just gonna cut anyone off at the legs who says “Israel is not an apartheid state, Arabs live there too!” yes but ~unequally~ and blah blah if it’s some variant of “Human Rights Watch are antisemitic,” (like how Doctors Without Borders and Save the Children are too?🙄)

www.hrw.org/report/2021/...

If he wants to interpret calls for ending the current ethnostate of Israel - in which not everyone in the country has equal rights and Palestinians continue to be ethnically cleansed - if he sees apartheid as integral to Israel’s “right to exist,” then that’s his disturbing issue and interpretation.

Screenshot from The Age website with an accompanying image of Herzog We warned of surging antisemitism before Bondi attack, says Israeli president Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Bondi, where he paid tribute to those killed and injured during the December 14 massacre. At the start of his Australian visit, Isaac Herzog accused pro-Palestinian protesters of seeking to undermine Israel’s right to exist.

The Age publishing Herzog’s slander against anti-war protesters, who had nothing to do with the Bondi terror attack by psychotic murderers. Pro-Palestine, anti-genocide protesters have been peaceful in calling for Israel to end their apartheid ethnostate as well as the genocide in Gaza. #AusPol

Australia is poorer for his passing.

A no-bullshit political cartoonist and talented artist. Some of his work has pride of place at our hose.

Condolences to his family.

We have a choice with Herzog visit – futile fury or solemn solidarity A protest against the president of Israel cannot make the least difference to even a single Palestinian in Gaza. But it can continue the roiling division inside Australia.

Fuck off.
Literally the least we can do as a member of the UN and signatory to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is show vocal opposition to a visiting dignitary who has been accused of instigating a genocide that is still ongoing!
