“The so-called Board of Peace is really problematic.
It’s not at all clear how it would work.
…and Israel can still stop goods and services getting in to Gaza.”
Laura Tingle, as usual, with the reality that so many of her colleagues gloss over.

However the west's political and media establishment want to spin it, this is the reality of 'phase two of the ceasefire' and the 'Board of Peace'. #GazaGenocide

As the US descends further into fascism, Democrats who voted for this abomination of a bill are complicit.

This was also an important victory for the arts and literature community, based on solidarity against political interference and unaccountable bullying from the Israel lobby.
But as Dr Abdel-Fattah notes in her response, to prevent this reoccurring, there must be systemic reforms.

It was all about tolerance, social harmony and inclusion, blathers the Premier who just tanked Adelaide Writers Week.
And is still publicly attacking Dr Abdel-Fattah.
He should quit while he’s behind. #abc730

Louise Adler sets out powerfully how the Adelaide Writers Week debacle was not a one-off.
But part of a dangerous anti-democratic pattern of efforts by the Israel lobby, the Murdoch media, and their political supporters to cancel Palestinian voices and silence dissent. #abc730 #auspol

Must read and a great scoop from Jo Dyer.
Not only was Malinauskas primarily responsible for the festival fuck-up; he ignored advice from ASIO, the police and Steve Bracks.
Key question remains:
How much was this his own Zionist inclination,
versus caving in to Israel lobby pressure?

Laura Tingle is one of the few mainstream journalists prepared to call out Israel's violations of international law.

If a Bondi royal commission were to take any evidence that touched on the shooters or the shooting while a criminal case was live, it would be committing sub judice contempt of court.
But that doesn't seem to bother royal commission advocates.

The Trump regime's imperialism means "the world as we know it really has been turned on its head" says Laura Tingle.
But Albo pretends there's nothing to see here.
The longer he continues his unquestioning 'alliance' with the fickle fascist, the more our national security is at risk. #AUKUS #auspol

We are used to blatant campaigns from mainstream media - especially #NewsCorpse.
But particularly shameful are the journos & commentators who have not bothered to consider the legal context for the timing and effectiveness of a royal commission.
It's all aboard the Israel lobby's bandwagon.
