Considering how we teach the Holocaust is one thing; entrenching pro-Israel ideology in our education system is a whole other thing.

if the Bondi massacre is being hijacked by culture warriors like Howard and the anti-immigration right, it's because that's how mainstream media chooses to frame it.

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

The blame lies with Albanese. He raised Jews above everyone else, continues material support to Israel’s war, allowed Nazi’s to march giving some Jews further ammunition to be racist/genocidal towards Palestinians and now will further damage relations between parts of our community.
