“.. it’s worth considering if a spiritual leader may have been more appropriate”. SMH two bob each way 11/2/26 re Herzog visit. With protest violence it looks like an “omnishambles” further disrupting social cohesion. SMH failed to contextualise probative evidence of Gaza genocide.

The intention being to make people think twice about protesting next time? What possible justification for that can there be? It is obvious to anyone with common sense that granting police any kind of immunity from consequences is not in the interests of the public. #auspol

Apparently these ICE agents are being stiffed on their supposed huge pay checks. Hope it is true!!! 😂😂😂

The Grammys. The Olympics. The Super Bowl. The message is that the world loves diversity. Don’t let the billionaires tell you otherwise.

Just wanted to say, in case any of these accounts are real people and not just bots - I do support Palestine, I want Isreal to stop their ways & face the consquences for their evil.

However I am not a wealthy woman and beyond general support, I cannot give anything to charity or individuals. Sorry.

The NSW police brutality at the behest of Minns appears to have been the WD40 to release the “rusted ons” from their enthral.

Read executive officer, Sarah Schwartz's opinion piece in the Financial Review today about why Herzog doesn't represent Australian Jewry and shouldn't have been invited in the first place: www.afr.com/policy/forei...

Nothing says cohesion like a punch in the head: Violence of Minns' goons exposes the lie of 'social cohesion' NSW Police's actions against protesters in in Sydney was about the powerful dictating the terms of free speech — through state-sanctioned violence if necessary.

Opinion | Social cohesion is nothing more than a scam perpetrated by the powerful — backed by police violence, writes Bernard Keane. buff.ly/uvMgD4s

“If political protests should only be allowed or prohibited by politicians, then whether or not the public is allowed to criticise politicians is in the hands of the very people they are seeking to criticise.” – Alice Grundy

Dangerous delusional talk

Content warning: police violence
A scene we should never EVER see in this country

‘A Premier who dines with a leader accused of genocide, who has signed the bombs dropped on civilians, while his police break the arm of an 84-y-o woman, assault a woman with Parkinson’s, spray a seizing child in the face, and brutalise people at prayer has forfeited all moral authority to govern.’

Those police officers should be dismissed.

The commissioner should resign.

The premier should offer an unconditional apology and rescind the draconian legislation.

And pigs might fly.

Seriously bad look for NSW and, by extension, Australia.

NSW police make Israeli president feel at home by mercilessly attacking anyone with a Palestine flag

"Luckily the police seemed more than excited to step in and get as violent as needed to make sure he doesn't feel homesick" - Premier Minns chaser.com.au/national/nsw...

Authoritarianism is undermining climate action – and time is running out The global rise of authoritarianism is weakening climate governance just as warming accelerates and tipping points draw near. This failure now poses a direct threat to our future.

Pay attention to the existential issues ..

The rise of authoritarianism is undermining climate action.

Authoritarian regimes, often aligned with climate scepticism, weaken climate governance, particularly in the US, Russia, the Middle East .. 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀

Very strong arguments against inviting President of Israel to visit Australia.

• Australia news live Penny Wong says Israeli president Isaac Herzog's visit a good thing' despite backlash from Labor party members Follow updates live

It's "culturally unsafe" to have a Palestinian Aus author advocate against the systematic slaughter of hundreds of thousands of her people, but it's
"a good thing" for the president of apartheid Israel, which has committed daily massacres and mass starvation for 2yrs, to visit us. Unbearably racist.

Israel President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Australia next month may be a comfort for our grieving Jewish families after Bondi massacre. But it’s ill advised particularly as ASIO still assesses terror risk at “probable”. Was Mike Burgess DG ASIO consulted?
