Blame, grief and responsibility after Bondi
In the aftermath of a devastating attack on Sydney’s Jewish community, political leaders must resist the urge to weaponise grief or assign blame.

Let’s be absolutely clear about this. Criticising Israeli foreign policy is not antisemitism.

Benjamin Netanyahu and his ilk are the reasons why anti-semitism is on the rise globally. I blame the atrocities carried out by Israel in Gaza for this. I abhor their actions but I would NEVER target innocent people as a reprisal. Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Just letting you know that a popular Australia male poster here & on the bird site - who has connections to a well known musician - has sent a female friend of mine unsolicited explicit DMs without her consent.

She had not communicated with him before & is very upset.

Be aware that he does this.

LOSER. A new definition of loser as epitomised by Linda Reynolds. Be gone with yourself, woman. You're a disgrace to all women, in fact to all humankind. Go quickly, quietly. You're still irrelevant. And most importantly: you are NOT the victim no matter how much you want us to believe you are.

Littleproud says farmers are not clearing too much forest and destroying their land because he was once a banker and could tell who was losing money due to this practice. 🤦🏻‍♂️
