Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.
Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.
Epic moment 🔥
🇺🇸Trump at 5:00 PM — “No President has done this. We got Iran to talk nukes. Maybe even give them up. This is First time ever.”
🇺🇸Obama at 6:00 PM — “Did it already. No missiles fired. Moved 97% of their enriched uranium out. We didn't have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz like you.”🔥👏
Tucker Carlson points out that Benjamin Netanyahu twice in October of 2023 publicly invoked Amalek to describe the Palestinians, a biblical reference commanding the total destruction of a people, including women, children, and infants.
Carlson says the reference was missed in the West but understood clearly in the region, and it lines up with what Israel set about doing in Gaza.
“The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, said out loud in a public speech, the Palestinians are Amalek.”
“Those verses describe God's command to eliminate a tribe called the Amalekites. And not just the draft age men, but all of them. Including children and infants.”
“So when Benjamin Netanyahu describes the Palestinians as Amalek, twice in the first month of the Gaza operation, you don't need to guess what the point of this is.”
“But it wasn't just Netanyahu who said that.”
Forget the "so-called" Australian women returning home from Al-Roj refugee camp in Syria.
When does the Australian mainstream news media start reporting on the "so-called" IDF Australian-Israeli dual citizens returning from "serving Israel" in Gaza? 🤔 #auspol#IsraeliTerrorism
Joel Jenkins, Independent journalist:
"Meanwhile, a Royal Commission grinds on — not about genocide, not about war crimes, but about whether Australians are being sufficiently respectful to those who defend the slaughter. Fair fucking dinkum."

We thought civilisation had progressed somewhat, with the principles on which a whole international architecture was created largely as a result of the Holocaust. The world has been in decolonisation phase since. Israel threw the lever into reverse. It and the US are turning back the clock, but with far, far more lethal weaponry.
Breaking @smh:
ABC, SBS reject @AlboMP & Jillian Segal's definition of antisemitism.
The ABC warned that examples associated with the definition: "risk conflating legitimate political and policy critique with antisemitism."
SBS: “We will not be adopting the IHRA definition”.
Today in the Royal Commission: some people refer to the Holocaust and genocide in regard to Israel’s conduct because they believe that never again means never again for anyone
A small but significant victory in a massive battle to defend human rights and international law. Francesca has been vindicated even in the courts of the superpower that sanctioned her for doing her duty https://t.co/OlGwosbzhI
“You know why the Norwegians charge their kids nothing to go to university?
“Because they tax the gas industry and they fund public services.”

It's a Royal Commission on Antisemitism & Social Cohesion.
It has REFUSED to allow Palestinians , who are SEMITES, a voice.
In what universe is this SOCIALLY COHESIVE???
Good to hear Dr Jim @JEChalmers say ‘I’d rather use my time here to do the right thing, even if it’s difficult.’
I’ve got a bit of a list, Doc.
1. #RaiseTheRate
2. #DitchAUKUS
3. #SanctionIsraelNow
4. Tax our Gas exports too.
See if you can get the ALP team on board…
Labor must reverse the neo liberal model of turning public housing into ghettos of poverty and disadvantage.
We could create a lasting Labor legacy by building a good society that cares for all and provides affordable, sustainable homes. Reject profit before people.
Two dumb policy decisions are failing the nation.
Subsidies for home buyers in a distorted market and throwing $Bs at the crumbling AUKUS fiasco. We must focus on smart govt interventions not warmongering and failed neoliberal policies.Scrap AUKUS and build public housing!
Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem, the highest-ranking Christian leader in the Holy Land, and the heir of the See of St. James the brother of Jesus, critisizes the disgusting misuse of Christian Scriptures to justify geopolitical support of the nation state of Israel.
“My entire life, my family and my people {in Lebanon) have been subjected to constant aggression, war crimes, torture, rape, and land theft by Israel. They’ve currently displaced over 1 million people and saying they can’t return. And now Israel’s finance minister is saying they’re going to annex Southern Lebanon, depopulate it of Lebanese, and replace it with Jewish settlers just like they did in the West Bank.”

If gas prices stay at current levels, a 25% gas export tax would cover the cost of free uni and TAFE!
"Australia's natural gas resource belongs to all Australians. So it should only be exploited if the community benefits in a very tangible and material way."
