Heartbreaking testimony from the Royal Commission into Antisemitism & Social Cohesion in Australia.

@IzaTabaro places it in its historical context for @Quillette

@Aitch_El @mckinnon_a You seem to not understand the difference between interviewer and interviewee. Odd. Pickering didn’t “interview” anyone. He got asked a couple of qtion scans and answered them (with perfectly valid responses).🤷‍♀️

@ChrisFitzMelb @erwd This all nonsense then is it?

[Jane Castles @janecastles]

& attacking anyone who so much as registers the violence done to them, or expresses empathy for Oct 7 hostages, I will use my insignificant voice to push against the tide. I will stand firmly against an evil, ancient hatred doing a good job of poisoning this great country. /END

[Jane Castles @janecastles]

Why do I try and occasionally speak out against antisemitism on this platform, when this is the standard response I get (& often much worse)?

Because I hate what Australia is becoming, & detest the insidious antisemitism that has become so normalised that many don’t see it. 1/

that day were killed. They cannot speak. And they were silenced twice because what happened to them was denied by so many. I could never live with myself not to speak up for them now, in the tiniest way I can. As long as there are people denying these women’s suffering 4/

@ChrisFitzMelb @erwd You can read the official UN conclusions in the Report of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry or review the UN Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Report. For an overview of the civilian-led inquiry, see the Civil Commission's Report. [1, 2]

@ChrisFitzMelb @erwd This all nonsense is it?

[Jane Castles @janecastles]

@ChrisFitzMelb Except that is not what happened.

@meljone09114086 @MikeCarlton01 @renshaw_gary @charliepick Shame on Pickering for what exactly? Having an opinion? Being Jewish? Infringing Lefist thought police? Feeling disquiet over someone calling for globalised intifada & dismissing Oct 7 sexual violence as ‘propaganda’? I am confused about what exactly he should be ashamed about.

[Jane Castles @janecastles]

@Hammersmith84 @boganintel @charliepick Get help.

[Jane Castles @janecastles]

The antisemitism on show in the comments to this post, & many like it, is gobsmacking. I can’t believe that this is Australia 2026. Appalling, shameful & pathetic.

I stand with @charliepick (& his family) & condemn the vile and, yes, deeply antisemitic 💩 being thrown his way.

[Jane Castles @janecastles]

@Hammersmith84 @boganintel @charliepick And you need help.

[Jane Castles @janecastles]

@vetororian9 @boganintel @charliepick You say “don’t take my kindness for weakness” in your bio, and yet you don’t seem kind. You want to end someone’s career because, let me work this out, they had an opinion you disagreed with? Odd. Definitely not “kind”.

@MayIhaveacat @meljone09114086 @MikeCarlton01 @renshaw_gary @charliepick And some more reading.

Do not look away. The newspaper article on report detailing rape and other forms of sexual assault by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023 is a horrible read, but the report itself, thoroughly documenting the Hamas crimes, is far worse: https://t.co/uVDB9nRDah.
