Chill.

Unless you’re a fan whose visa was denied, losing your life savings.

A referee whose participation was withdrawn after a lifetime of work.

A player who couldn’t focus without certainty as to if, or when, you were going to be allowed to play in the biggest moment of your young life, and most precious memory as you will age.

A country that had to change venues because you’re being bombed by the hosts.

A staff member denied a World Cup after years of dedication in qualifying.

A spectator who sold your house to pay for exorbitant tickets.

Aside from that, relax.

A group of jews confronted the Aljazeera crew in Golders Green.
Called them monkeys and dogs.

Then told police they felt unsafe and alleged the news would go to 'terrorists'.
The officer's reply: 'I understand'

Not the West Bank. This is Britain.

Australia’s endorsement of this action is inconsistent with our obligations under the UN Charter and the principle that the rules-based order applies equally to all states.

The Prime Minister should not be supporting it.

Advocating for the human rights and democratic freedoms of the Iranian (or any) people does not mean supporting illegal acts that increase risk to the people, the country, the region and the world.

Often, we need only ask what the response would be if the roles were reversed - and Australia would certainly not support these actions against ally States.

These double standards undermine both international law and Australia’s credibility.

This action violates:

1.UN Charter Articles 2(4) and 51 — no armed attack occurred and no imminent threat existed, given a diplomatic breakthrough on IAEA verification was announced less than 24 hours earlier;

2.The Declaration on Friendly Relations (1970) and Definition of Aggression (1974) — bombardment with the stated objective of regime change constitutes aggression;

https://t.co/lfJgl2kPUw Humanitarian Law — with reports of strikes on a girls’ school killing at least 85 children and over 200 dead; and

4.The Nuremberg Principles — aggressive war is the supreme international crime.

Any response by Iran must also abide by humanitarian law and avoid targeting civilians.

In sport meanwhile, FIFA is bound to support international law, has continually rewarded Trump and is now supporting violations against a World Cup participant while the justifications are almost identical to those given by Russia for Ukraine, for which almost immediate sanctions were imposed.

Australians should be very clear that support for, or participation in violations of international law make Australia a target and increase risks to all Australians.

While politicians often state they ‘don’t want to bring violence here’, they directly support those committing it — through weapons parts, funding, intelligence, statements. This is both illogical, and dangerous.

Australia should support the fundamental rights of all people while remaining a consistent voice for equal application of international law.

This keeps both us, and the world, safer.

Last week, the Israeli President Isaac Herzog toured Australia and it was predictably propagandistic.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was so ill equipped to understand the moment and merely spewed platitudes.

Idiots.

Hey Americans,

This one got out alive.

Don’t ever touch our wildlife unless in a controlled environment with highly trained Australians, and only Australians, present to save your life.

Every animal and insect in Australia has evolved to eat you, bite you in half, strangle you, inject you with poison, suck your blood, punch you, divebomb from the sky, send you into a coma or, at the very least and only if in a good mood, just take a limb or two.

Think of Australia as a stress test for humans.

That’s the way we like it.

So hands off. Or hands gone.

Now go home.

⚡️An Israeli settler was asked, How many civilians civilians have been killed in Gaza?

She replied: “Who gives a shit?”

She was then asked about children and she replied: “children grow up to be Arabs, there are always casualties and they have too many children”

[Jasmin Kosubek @JasminKosubek]

Well, today’s been interesting! A two-minute clip from my interview with Prof. John Mearsheimer about the Gaza-Israel conflict has stirred up quite the reaction. In the snippet, I raised a question about why Arab countries haven’t taken in Gaza’s 2 million refugees and compared this to the movement of German refugees after World War II.

The backlash has been... well colorful. I’ve been labeled everything from ignorant to racist to plain dumb. And yes, I did call some pro-Palestinian activists “insufferable”- a term I stand by for a few particularly vocal critics.

Here’s the thing: I can’t convince everyone I’m not dumb or racist. People are entitled to their opinions. But what I can do is provide context. The 20-minute conversation between Prof. Mearsheimer and me dives into this complex issue. It might be worth your time if you’re interested in more than soundbites.

I’ve always aimed to create space for tough, often uncomfortable discussions, and this was no exception. Talking to Prof. Mearsheimer, someone I’ve known and respected for years, was a privilege - and yes, he loves a good debate as much as I do.

If you’re curious, check out the 20 minute discussion on this particularly controversial issue.

Here's also a link to the full interview where we covered the Ukrain Crisis and the possibility of Nuclear War: https://t.co/xdynHdfvzS
