Just spoke to a good friend in Greece who lives in a tiny village in the mountains. Her family are shepherds, as you can imagine they are quite isolated from the cities in Greece. She has been fully vaccinated with Pfizer. I have no words @ScottMorrisonMP #ScottyTheGaslighter

The AJA are shocked to find out teachers are opposed to a country that is targeting children to commit genocide.

Wait until they find out 79% of Australians are anti-Israel too!

Jewish student Yasmine Johnson stood before the Royal Commission yesterday & refused to be intimidated by the attempts to smear the Palestine movement, explaining with confidence why solidarity with Palestinians is a fight against racism, apartheid and oppression. Bloody legend.

You don’t need to be cold. Just inaccessible. Respond slower. Reveal less. Be polite, but unreadable. When people have to guess how you feel, they start treating you like someone they can’t afford to miscalculate. That’s how distance breeds influence.

Anonymous pro-Israel witness tells RC she’s upset a student wasn't challenged for not mentioning Oct 7 when discussing her family’s suffering in Gaza, after she pleaded for support.

The nerve of some witnesses is staggering. Not to mention the complete lack of humanity.

[Alternate Media Watchers @AltMediaWatch]

Lobbying groups like the @ZionistFedAus, @ECAJewry and @AIJAC_Update are refusing to post Jewish testimony that is critical of Israel from the Royal Commission.

That is all the proof we need that they only represent the interests of Zionism/Israel and NOT Australian Jews.

Don’t work as a doctor in Gaza or you’re a terrorist. Don’t work as a journalist in Gaza or you’re a terrorist. Don’t send money to Gaza or you’re a terrorist. Don’t sail to Gaza or you’re a terrorist. Don’t speak about Gaza or you’re a terrorist.

This tweet is breathtaking in its weasel-wording, disingenuous bullshit @JasonClareMP

You belong to a government that's hunted and haunted your fellow Australians speaking out against Israel, censoring any and all ideological speech and smearing thousands of good people with your false 'antisemitism' labels.

Your government is responsible for the greatest witch-hunt upon the Australian people in living memory, allowing your own taxpayer funded envoy, Jillian Segal and her cohort of paranoid, mendacious Israel lobbyists, to eradicate free speech, and have artists, academics, journalists, and ordinary Australian people living in fear for their jobs and their physical safety.

Your government’s single-minded zeal to elevate the interests of the Israel lobby above any other Australian’s rights has ironically emboldened racism, created greater resentment against Jewish people and destroyed social cohesion. Yet instead of using the words your government has bludgeoned us with for 3 years now - Israel and antisemitism - now you're suddenly shrinking from the very the words you’ve been holding above Australian’s heads for so long by replacing them with the word ‘racism’ - and you think nobody will notice?

It's too late to change the words now. It's too late to try to slither into an entirely different agenda now and pretend nobody will see it.

You’ve supported a coordinated campaign of fear and censorship against your own people and yet here you are, twisting yourself into knots by pretending that somehow - all of this - all of these millions of dollars and resources and lives that have been spent hunting Australians on behalf of the Israeli government - somehow my fellow Australians, somehow this year’s long witch-hunt is now just about 'racism'.

If it was all about racism, where is our Anti-Racism Envoy? Where is our Royal Commission Into Racism? Where are our anti-racism laws? Where are the anti-racism check cards against the universities and the arts and everything else? "Yes, despite us incessantly and obviously elevating the Israel lobby above any other Australian, it’s really just been about ‘racism’ all along."

It’s not. None of it is. It’s about protecting the interests of a foreign nation, Israel, while you bow to the USA’s demands. You know it. The Australian people know it. At least have the decency to own up to that.

This is extremely bad.

You're being brainwashed to fear a Muslim takeover so you won't realize Israel already has.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

What I don't get about climate change deniers is why they're opposed the green transition.

Say they're right and its a hoax. We still end up with a high-tech industrial revolution, more trees in urban centres, cooling systems, public transport, more EVs!

Why is that bad?

You are so fucked, America.

We prefer Trump in power because he says the shy part out loud. He doesn't sugarcoat or whitewash US foreign policy he just shows the world exactly what America's true intentions are. Other US presidents drop the same bombs on our cities and say it’s for our “freedom”

[William Peynsaert @PeynsaertBill]

Debunking the 6 most boring, most unoriginal, most regurgitated excuses for Israeli violence
1. "Israel has the right to defend itself."
True, if Israel was indeed defending itself, but since at least as far back as 1948 Israel has oppressed the Palestinians in a particularly vicious way and has tried with unusual persistence to restrict a people's freedom.

The Palestinians have a right to defend themselves against Israeli oppression. Since they don't have a regular army, nobody who doesn't live under Israeli oppression has any right to quickly condemn their methods of resistance at all times.

2. "Hamas uses human shields."

Even if true - the evidence is flimsy at best - this still makes the people who drop bombs on those supposed human shields mass murderers and still guilty of the most insane violence unleashed upon a population with 1 million children.

Even if true, it never even made tactical sense to erase whole neighbourhoods and tear children's limbs to shreds.

So not only is Israel's strategy outrageously immoral, it's also been a strategic faillure. Palestinians now have even more reasons to resist and long term Israel is now more isolated, more despised and far less safe.

The old guard who as a reflex defended Israel no matter what is dying (bye bye L. Graham) and the younger generations have time lines full of dead children murdered by Israel, even during a ceasefire.

3. "There is no genocide."

You can only claim that if you are uninformed enough to think that genocide only means 'everybody has to be dead for it to genocide'. The modern interpretation of what is genocide was inspired by a jew and essentially it means you're trying to stamp out the conditions for a people to develop as a people.

What is happening in Gaza is one of the clearest cases of genocide ever.

4. "The Gaza death toll is Hamas propaganda."

Hamas would be ridiculously dumb if it did NOT help spread images of the horrific effects of Israeli bombs and drones on children, women and defenseless men.

Amazingly they did not have to inflate the numbers. International organisations have confirmed that the casualty figures are mostly accurate.

But if you really fall apart confronted by Israeli barbarity you can of course cling to the hope that all international organisations are merely anti-semitic and you can ignore all the amputee kids again.

5. "Israel left Gaza in 2005."

They pulled back circa 6,000 settlers and then injected hundreds of thousands of settlers in the West Bank.

Israel had zero altruistic motivations when it 'pulled back' from Gaza. It used that withdrawal as a smoke screen to grab more of the West Bank.

The truth is that at the time Israel lacked the stamina to hold on to Gaza, which would have required more troop presence and risked turning Gaza into a population time bomb. Imagine Gaza becoming de facto part of Israel and so many Palestinians threatening the majority status of jews in Israel.

You have to be easily duped to believe that Israel broke down a few of its settlements in Gaza out of the goodness of its heart. It was a carefully calculated tactical move that went down well in front of the international cameras.

6. "Criticism of Israel is just antisemitism."

Yaaaaawn.

This is the lamest one of all.

If you talk about Catholic Spain or Catholic Belgium's brutal colonial history it doesn't make you 'anti-catholic', but if you dare disagree that little girls in tents deserve to have their bellies cut open by Israeli schrapnel you are somehow a jew hater.

Suspiciously there is only one case where opposing someone's violence automatically gets you accused of simply hating the religion/group identity of the murderer.

PS
Dumb and emotional comments by triggered Israel fans with too much time on their hands are warmly invited. It helps with the algorhythm and spreading the message. Many thanks.

The legitimacy of social justice movements this intelligent, humane and courageous young woman points out to the Antisemitism Royal Commission, cant rest on never offending anyone.
Many Afrikaners would have been very uncomfortable indeed at the west’s eventual response to apartheid. Even if every single one of them claimed offense, should that have delegitimised the movement to accord indigenous South Africans human rights?

[Stanley Cohen @StanleyCohenLaw]

It is a cultural and historical cornerstone of all societies everywhere but one demon's hole to honor children as the hope of all tomorrows. Not in Israel that sees them as but target practice for its snipers. After all, say Israelis, it is only they that love their children.
