Criticism of Israel has long been conflated with antisemitism. After Bondi, that framing has hardened, shaping media pressure, political calculation and government response, writes Jack Waterford.

There must be an accounting when the music stops
After Bondi, public anxiety, political pressure and rising criticism of Israel have collided. As definitions of antisemitism are contested, government judgement, media influence and social cohesion are under strain.

I wrote about reporters’ refusal to use “act of war,” “invasion” or “coup” when covering Trump’s brazen attacks on Venezuela, instead echoing WH-approved euphemisms, and the broader trend of our press dutifully giving Trump’s lawlessness the vague whiff of international legitimacy when it has none.
By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

The Australian media is insulting its own, as well as Australians’ intelligence by playing down the illegality and extreme consequentiality of the US intervention in Venezuela.
We must pay attention and take action against such gross disservice to Australian democracy.
