The fix is in, folks.

Maybe they could teach us how to murder 380,000 children under the age of five in a two year period as well?

Are we meant to be surprised that this guy wants a Royal Commission to investigate the people the Israeli PM doesn't like?

The same Israeli govt ministry that came up with its hit list, also decided these hashtags are antisemitic

#gazaholocaust #genocide #gazagenocide #genocideinpalestine #palestinianholocaust #Israelinazis #gaza, #freepalestine, and #ceasefirenow
he graph above illustrates the ten most frequently used hashtags in antisemitic and anti-Israel online posts in Australia during the specified time period. Among a mix of highly engaged hashtags, several explicitly inflammatory ones stand out. #gazaholocaust, #genocide, and #gazagenocide ranked 5th, 6th, and 7th respectively, using Holocaust-related terminology to portray Israel as committing atrocities. Similarly, #genocideinpalestine (4th) and #palestinianholocaust (10th) frame the conflict through a lens of genocide accusations. The hashtag #Israelinazis, ranking 8th, equates Israel with Nazi Germany, an example of a classic antisemitic trope. While #gaza, #freepalestine, and #ceasefirenow reflect broader political discourse, their frequent pairing with such extreme language highlights the intensity and virality of anti-Israel narratives in Australian online spaces.

Chris Minns wants to give a private Zionist security group who run overseas military training camps with links to Mossad, and who have previously demonstrated greater loyalty to Israel than Australia, the right to bear arms at all times. And the Zio govt has a hit list of Australians it doesn’t like

How and when did it become unacceptable to be anti- Zionist?

My Uncle was a synagogue attending, Tory voting, High Court judge who was (two decades ago) anti-Zionist. He'd be amazed to read this passage (and others) in Sigrid Rausing's piece in The Times (web.archive.org/web/20251227...).
I have been wondering since then how these activists and our former grantees understand human rights, a field in which practitioners used to be known, and should be known, for their rigorous adherence to truth. How did the field become entangled with the sort of anti-Zionism we see playing out on certain university campus protests or in hard-left factions in politics?

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.
Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

Sometimes I’ll catch myself lazily musing about how weird it is that the UK is going through the same shit that the US is going through, then my brain wakes up and I go, “Oh yeah, fucking Murdoch…”

Just try to contemplate that those who marched in protest of such murders occurring (in much greater numbers) are now being blamed by the Liberal Party for the Bondi Massacre.

Muslim leaders begging NSW Police for years to shut down the hate preacher that radicalised the Bondi shooters, NSW Police refusing as keeping the centre open was "a good source of information," and then ASIO/AFP bungling the surveillance, only for everyone to blame Muslims. What a world!

All you dorks in the press pack that are allowed near the man, ask the Prime Minister if reporting truthfully on the Gaza genocide will be illegal under Jillian Segal's recommendations.

Ban on political donations from property developers to be lifted in Qld
The attorney-general said the proposed laws would level the political playing field, labelling the ban as a "gerrymander" by the former Labor government.

NEW: A leaked document shows the key group behind the teen social media ban, 36 Months, was selling a $150,000 "UNGA Event Sponsorship" in the lead-up to Australia's UN event spruiking the policy.

It promised brands "influence" and "access" to heads of state.
