It’s time for the Federal Police to investigate Australians who are returned Israeli Defense Force soldiers.
“Any Australian who has committed war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide must be held to account and face justice.
“The international rules-based order must be respected and upheld, and the Australian Government must honour its obligations to bring accountability for perpetrators of these grave crimes.
“The impunity must come to an end.”
AFP urged to investigate Australians allegedly involved in Gaza genocide https://t.co/yNbOXPOiE0
Brilliant piece from Pearls and Irritations. Finally, someone in Australia is saying out loud what the rest of us have been watching for the past five years
Let's be clear about what AUKUS actually is: the greatest military protection racket in modern history. Washington looked at its own crippled submarine industrial base—17 boats short, yards choking, Congress screaming—and found the perfect mark. A wealthy, eager, insecure middle power with a bipartisan fetish for great-power relevance and a defense minister who treats strategic questions like a classified state secret
The deal? Australia pays half a trillion dollars. In return, it gets used Virginia-class hand-me-downs—Block IV boats with a decade of wear already on the hulls, probably smelling faintly of its previous crew
Even more intriguing, the article confirms for what this overpriced second-hand Australian "sovereign" nuclear submarine fleet is actually for:
Hunting Chinese Jin-class and Type 096 SSBNs. Not to protect Sydney Harbour. Not to secure Australia's trade routes. To find, track, and if ordered, destroy the Chinese nuclear submarines that threaten continental America!
That's the job. That's the whole job. Australia just committed A$368 billion to be the US Navy's underwater security guard!
The comedy of "sovereign capability" is almost too rich. Sovereign? The reactors are American. The combat system is American. The weapons are American. The fuel is American. The intelligence feed is American. The maintenance schedule is American. Permanently tethering Australia to U.S. software, maintenance, and logistics, effectively ending any "sovereign" capability. The only thing Australian is the taxpayer—and the Prime Minister standing in front of a camera calling this independence
Australia is not buying a submarine; it is buying a node in a U.S. sensor network. The acquisition deeply integrates Australia into the U.S. military command structure, making Australia a tool for U.S. strategic objectives in the Indo-Pacific — while a massive amount of Australian wealth is transferred into the U.S. military-industrial complex
And the timing is exquisite. Washington just added another half-trillion to its own defense budget while Australia is told to hit 3.5% of GDP. America gets the money, the boats, the basing rights at HMAS Stirling, and a Pacific ASW auxiliary. Australia gets the bill, the dependency, and the warm fuzzy feeling of being taken seriously by the adults.
The U.S. 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) emphasizes "burden-sharing among allies" and "realist diplomacy." This submarine deal is the perfect execution of that strategy: the U.S. maintains its military overmatch against China by essentially "outsourcing" the financial cost of undersea surveillance to Australia 🤡
Paul Keating called this three years ago. He was mocked, of course. The press club gasped. The security establishment rolled its eyes. But he was right then, and this article proves he's right now. It is worse than he thought. It's not that AUKUS is of little military benefit to Australia. It's that AUKUS is of negative military benefit to Australia—actively diverting resources from actual defense needs toward a capability designed for someone else's homeland

#JillianSegal 's goal is to transform Australian school kids into pro-Israel, genocidal, Muslim-hating drones. This is what happens to Israeli school-kids. They are raised to be mentally derranged, remorseless murderers and bigots.
This Woman needs to be removed from her position and placed on a Watch List. Her insidious activities must stop.
Every Professor and Teacher in Australia must do everything they can to thwart and resist the directives of this disgusting, insidious, treacherous, genocidal Zionist, who is on record as encouraging the bombing of hospitals full of innocent Civilians and Doctors.
Her goal is to push and formalise the IHRA definition of anti-semitism, to stop any criticism of #Israel 's murderous and lawless activities.
It's your duty as an Australian, to resist her insidious activities. Anything less is an act of betrayal of #Australia.
@MrRexPatrick Lets face it. They won't be worth anything by the time US discards them. I thought we were paying them to build new subs. Does this mean we can stop paying them now. Surely we have met what ever they will be worth.
So many voted against a voice to parliament from our true native population because they claimed it would compromise us. Now our government has allowed this representative of a very evil regime, Jillian Segal, waltz into power and gradually take over our very freedom
@JJKALE2 Her historic homeland is Apartheid South Africa - her parents were from Russia, there is zero chance of going back far enough to demonstrate Semitic lineage with this one, she is merely a Zionist supremacist that explicitly denies Palestinians the right to self-determination.
@JJKALE2 well actually Segal can stop speaking for the "jewish community" - we've all see the @jewishcouncilAU tell us the contrary here. And she can stop conflating zionism with judaism. Sack her now - she only creates division and hate - thats her only contribution.
All he has to do is say they're laying bombs and then destroy them. Just like with Venezuela, claim they're carrying drugs and bomb them. US is a law unto itself.
🚨BREAKING : Massive fires erupted in tents sheltering displaced Palestinian families after a violent Israeli airstrike struck Namaa camp, northwest of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Multiple casualties and injuries have been reported.
@DianaRyall These Mossad trained soldiers believing in their superiority and that it's fine to kill women, children and babies are currently in our society. What jobs are they in; public service, police force, school teachers. It's a massive worry which our government will not address.
#Estimates
Jillian Segal tells Sen D. Pocock her office 'sounded out' who was available to receive a limited-tender Austender contract that went to Yaron Finkelstein's Society Advisory ($200K)
No due process
They just asked their mates who was available

🚨BREAKING: Gaza is under heavy bombardment.
The so-called “ceasefire” is a lie as Israeli forces continue targeting civilian homes across Gaza City- Alshati Camp.
During this time of paranoia concerning the non existent threat from Isis brides, maybe we should take a look at returned IDF soldiers from Israel. Men trained by Mossad, convinced of their superiority and trained to kill innocent women and children and to destroy infrastructure.

Our situation in Gaza now: the bombing continues, fires have broken out in the tents of displaced people, and the bodies of Gaza's children and women are burning.
