The Austrian govt threatened to revoke my permanent residency last month bc of my reporting on Palestine and Lebanon.
This is despite me being an accredited journalist with no criminal record, and from a UN/diplomat family.
The point is to frighten everyone into submission.
This definitely didn't get the attention it deserves - last month, Sydney Uni cut its exchange programme with Bezalel Academy in Israel. Let this be the first of many similar BDS victories at the university. https://t.co/f7ETOHySIK
Facts don’t matter when there’s China to kick.
“There was a time when AFR readers could think for themselves.
“How on earth can the protection of shipping lanes in the South China Sea be of strategic importance to Australia and not to China?
“It’s nonsense being peddled off to the readership as serous analysis.”

The Slippery Slope Towards Criminalising Criticism of Israel and Zionism https://t.co/UqxPZDBSU1
When you proclaim that anti-Zionism is antisemitism and then Zionism murders tens of thousands of children, you are naturally going to see a rise in "antisemitism" as you have defined it. That's all this whole "antisemitism crisis" narrative has been from the very beginning.
Zionism is not a religion, it's a fucking political ideology. It's always legitimate to criticize a political ideology. Saying it's evil forbidden speech to express disdain for Zionism is the same as saying it's evil forbidden speech to express disdain for white nationalism. Zionism is the political ideology which supports the west's decision to drop an apartheid ethnostate on top of a pre-existing population and maintain that apartheid ethnostate by any amount of violence and abuse necessary.
You can't butcher children by the tens of thousands with the backing of the most powerful war machine on the planet in the name of supporting this political ideology and then legitimately cry victim when people have something to say about it. That's not a thing.
President Trump has no place imposing his ideologies on Australian researchers. This is an insidious intervention in Australia’s national sovereignty that runs contrary to fundamental principles of free speech, academic integrity and robust, evidence-based research.
Liberal MP Julian Leeser says that Peter Dutton and the Liberal Party will not only change laws to deport pro-Palestinians, if their plan is unconstitutional they will hold a referendum.
When politicians such as @JulianLeeser & @PeterDutton_MP tell you they’ll aim to change the constitution if courts prevent them from deporting pro Palestinian visa holders, listen to them.
They’re telling you who they are…
Zionist fascists.
@ptyrrell@AlboMP If “Islamophobia” isn’t a word but you think “anti-Christian” or “antisemitism” is then you’re not treating people with equal respect.
If Christian or Jewish lives matter but Muslim lives don’t, you are not embodying Australian values.
You are espousing religious supremacy.
This man, & the LNP of which he is a part, are planning to deport all visa holders, including permanent residents, who express support for Palestinians.
Is this the country you want to live in?
Deportation if you hold a PoV the government disagrees with?
In Australia, @JulianLeeser & @PeterDutton_MP have promised to deport anyone on a visa (including permanent residents) who are considered “pro Palestinian”
The LNP works for Zionists & Trump.
Not Australia.
@implausibleblog On a tour around Africa we met an American (only a fraction of them actually have a passport) and he couldn’t comprehend that all the other Nationalities on the tour weren’t secretly pining for US citizenship. Bizarre. They must indoctrinate them to believe this as they grow up.
.@JulianLeeser & .@PeterDutton_MP are planning to deport permanent residents who may have spent their entire lives in Australia if they express pro Palestinian sentiments.
Let that sink in.
@AltMediaWatch The AJA need their ACNC status revoked and they need to be charged with inciting violence and for hate speech. They are a divisive and toxic element in Australia.
