We moved in the Senate for the Albanese government to withdraw the invitation to Israel’s President Herzog to visit Australia. He has literally signed bombs used in the genocide in Gaza. Labor, the Liberals and One Nation joined together to vote it down. That tells you everything

History will not look kindly upon the government's complicity. Your courage to stand for humanity and compassion and what is right reflects a majority of Australians, in my view. Where are the other "Tony Benns" in our parliament?

Get this: the Israeli president’s visit will be so divisive, according to NSW Police, that the appropriate response is to ban all public assemblies while he’s here, rather than, say, him not coming.

The NSW govt needs to elect a new public. Police say this one is not acceptable.

Hate speech has no place in our main stream media. Murdoch is blight on the Australian social landscape.

It's been just over 3 weeks, over 100 articles across the press. The Australian has published countless screeds against Louise Adler and l. The most defamatory,shamelessly slanderous, malicious, hysterical, pompous treatsies.Today's front page edition is one of the most demented examples.This piece was published today......a week after a bomb was thrown by a white supremacist at Indigenous peoples at an Invasion Day Boorloo/Perth rally. The perpetrator's name and identity are being protected. He is not a 'terrorist'. There has been no national outrage at the political level, no sense of emergency, no calls for royal commissions or legislative intervention.This shows us the desperation of our adversaries. Their final line of defence is to seek to purge and annihilate us from public life. This is the insecurity of colonizers and oppressors everywhere in the fact of the material evidence of white supremacy. They have no convincing response so they demonize us. They mean for us to have no voice, no agency. They cannot bear to witness our stories and heritage that are deeply rooted in the land they covet and which predate them by millennia.They weaponize our righteous anger to claim that we are terrorists, antisemites, extremists, savages, or whatever the disparaging term of the day happens to work.It speaks to our power when they go to such lengths. The harder they go, the more they attack, the sloppier their ChatGPT written rants get, the taller we all stand with dignity and conviction of the path we are on.

A classic of the genre: Leibler writes that “the climate in which antisemitism has flourished over the past 2 years did not arise in a vacuum”.

So, what has happened in the past 2 years, Mr Leibler? You … won’t say?

Might the “climate” you call antisemitic be related to something Israel has done?

The arrogance is intergalactic and unsurprising. Shocking that it's published under the ABC banner.

Commitment to social justice and reconciliation somehow seems a tad at odds with support for a murderous regime.
