All of a sudden President Isaac Herzog’s visit brings his declared backing for Israel’s mass killings in Gaza to Australia. This at a time when we all want to protect our grieving Jewish friends after the Bondi beach massacre. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
Herzog's Australia visit unfortunately links two previously separate events
Unravelling the threads of antisemitism and anti-Israeli sentiment will require both more political courage and more community tolerance than we have seen to date.

My favorite quotes from Xan Brooks in The Guardian on ‘Melania’

“a face like a fist and a voice of sheet metal.“

“..points at gold baubles & designer dresses, cunningly distracting us while her husband & his cronies prepare to dismantle the Constitution & asset-strip the federal government.”

Read that headline again

What an utterly obscene state of affairs

"The collapse in accessible homes for low-income families coincides with an affordability crisis that has seen rents soar, waitlists for social housing blow out and rising homelessness."

Far from having a national day of mourning, what this event and this rhetoric symbolised was a national day of appeasement to Zionists. You can’t “reclaim” what was never yours, and was never taken from you. You are settler colonists here and there.

Anyway, just let me reiterate - as I understand it:
Judaism is a religion, therefore it has protected status.
Zionism is a political ideology, therefore it does not.
Israel is a country/government, therefore it has no right to protection from criticism.

Anybody close to politics in SA knows what the Premier is like.

Entitled private school boy that's big on providing largesse for mates, cars and golf. Pittance for the arts and what is provided comes with his conservative mealy mouthed agenda.

The Greens are again urging the Malinauskas Government to investigate these claims of political interference. The allegations that public servants have been told to stall investigations into the toxic algal bloom in order to protect the political interests of Labor are shocking.
