I found out about the event in Melbourne from a friend in the Jewish community here who was livid and posting on her personal social media. It will get zero exposure here otherwise. Same events happening in NYC and London, UK this weekend. Despicable.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

As a Jewish Australian this visit by Herzog has made it pretty much impossible to vote for Labor under Albanese.

All it did was make Israel look better while they are actively commiting a Genocide on Palestinians. Complete waste of political good will. #auspol #herzog youtu.be/pQzS_uwF5HM?...

Could it have something to do with… racism? Or Islamophobia?

Or both?
Why have no media outlets reported on the statement of Australia’s special envoy on Islamophobia? Not even @australia.theguardian.com so far.

This is pathetic and misleading from our national broadcaster. It makes out that the people protesting weren’t peaceful when it was NSW police who were attacking them and being violent. Disgraceful headline from the ABC.
Nine charged after violent clashes between protesters and police
Police said they are currently in the process of charging six more people with a range of offences after the Palestine Action Group protest on Monday night turned ugly.

I would never get arrested for criticising Iran for murdering its citizens for dissent, even if it quite threatened and upset Iranian Australians. And probably the same for every other country.
If you are upset that I call out your other country's heinous acts, I might conclude you support them.

Albanese’s stupid, immoral decision to invite Herzog has inflamed divisions in the local Jewish community too.

Not gonna call myself a tech expert but I'm probably above average.

Any site that logs entries made frequently or regularly (SM, blogs, news, etc) adds the date and time automatically.

And it's 'usually quite accurate'.

Just so you know ... J. D. Vance is one of the most intensely unilkable characters ever to worm his way onto the world stage.
If he was in Sydney at Homebush for any Olympic event? I would have taken a two hour bus ride to tell him to fuck off.

Penny Wong insisted "Jewish leaders had urged the government to issue an invitation.

And that's where it gets complicated. Not all Jewish Australians want Herzog to come."

Thank you, Laura Tingle, for acknowledging what few in mainstream media will.
And for tackling the realities that most avoid.

Goes without saying the pro-genocide crowd don't care about UK taxes being spent on helping Israel slaughter brown people.

They don't seem bothered by Israel murdering British aid workers either.

Is Israel bulldozing Allied war graves a red line?

No, thought not.

There is something very odd happening to Labor leaders. They seem to think that inviting the President of Israel to Australia will help heal trauma while inviting an Australian of Palestinian descent to a literary festival will cause division. Is this stupidity or capture?
