"I've received proof of many Jewish organisations in multiple Australian cities holding events to glorify the visit to Australia of Israel's president who was found to have incited genocide by a UN commission.

"Anyone who thinks Australia doesn't have a serious problem is deluded"

Brief: Bombing Iran and the orchestrated denigration of Islam It's worth watching where the propaganda demonising Muslims lies.

None of these β€œthink tanks” are accredited or regulated, by anybody! Until they are, the @lucyham.bsky.social preferred label #JunkTank should be applied to all of these self-styled purveyors of lies, myths, and mis-information #auspol

Fiona Katauskas cartoon: A brief history of Pauline Hanson 
Panel 1: There’s the time she blamed the Asians … Hanson with finger raised β€œWe’re in danger of being swamped” and silent John Howard in background.
Panel 2: … the time she blamed indigenous people … Hanson holding sign β€œIt’s black and white!” and saying β€œIt’s their own fault”.
Panel 3: The time she moved to England then blamed the β€œtoo many migrants” there for her return to Australia … Hanson wearing Union Jack cap and t-shirt (with β€œForeigners Out!”) and saying β€œIrony? What Irony?”.
Panel 4: The time she blamed all Muslims … Hanson wearing a t-shirt with β€œJoyless Division” and saying β€œThey’re destroying social cohesion”.
Panel 5: The time she blamed schools for teaching critical race theory even though they didn’t … Hanson wearing β€œProud to be White” t-shirt and holding sign, β€œNo to identity politics”.
Panel 6: The times she’s got away with utterly failing to offer any actual solutions … Hanson luxuriating the spotlight with cameras trained, and the sparkling wine chilling, saying β€œWho can blame me … ”

Stop pretending to be dumb: the Iran War is about Greater Israel, not β€œliberation” - The Shot There is a map. There is a plan. There are quotes. There is evidence, both historic and fresh.

Be warned, @davemilbo.bsky.social is an equal opportunity curser, equally adept with swearwords from 4 to 7 letters!
He's also adept at excoriating the hypocrisy & BS currently surrounding the "liberation of Iran" war. Don't forget #SundayShot #auspol

Australia’s timid response to the US and Israel’s attack on Iran risks being seen as complicity | Donald Rothwell It is up to countries like Australia to stand up against aggression and make its position clear in support of international law

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

β€œβ€¦how other states [nations, like Australia] react in situations like this [illegal bombing of Iran and murder if its leaders] matters, because [our govt’s] silence or refusal to make a formal & clear statement can be interpreted as complicity.”
We’re complicit.

Minns’ protest ban: breathtakingly racist, authoritarian, and must be resisted - Michael West Chris Minns’ protest ban is not just authoritarian: it is breathtakingly racist and must be resisted, writes Nick Riemer.

NSW Premier Minns has always been anti protest. His latest ban on peaceful assemblies & protests is racist & divisive. We will resist - silence on #genocide is unethical. Read this piece by Nick Riemer
