“Mary Kostakidis, a famous Australian journalist and former prime-time weeknight SBS World News Australia presenter, has been taken to the federal court over her—one should say quite tame — reporting on the situation in the Gaza Strip.

My message to everyone is this. It does not matter whether you agree with @hussedogru or not, whether you like or not his journalism. What matters is that what the EU did to him they can easily do to you. Friends, beware. Your right to personhood has just been rescinded!

This macho "FUCK YEAH! AMERICA! TAKE THEIR OIL!" jingoism from rightist pundits feels planned. It's too perfectly aligned with the rebranding of the Department of Defense as the Department of War and all Hegseth's sloganeering about having a mega badass military with FAFO lethality. It appears to be a deliberately crafted PR campaign to get the MAGA crowd fully on board with the US military interventionism Trump campaigned against.

This isn't happening for no reason. The empire has agendas planned. The warmongers are already openly salivating for regime change in Iran and Cuba. With the anti-interventionist streak in Trump's base brought on board with easy in-and-out attacks like bombing Iranian energy infrastructure and kidnapping the Venezuelan president, they can now be expected to be much more supportive of more high-cost interventions going forward.

Yet again @abcnews allowed one sided diatribe demanding a Royal Commission.

Why is this person being platformed unchallenged by the ABC, is it because he signed a letter, his religious affiliations, his business, his wealth, his elevation by Murdoch evil media.

Imagine worshipping a war criminal in a synagogue. They have killed Judaism and replaced it with the golden calf of Zionism.

After the 🇺🇸 U.S. government refused to condemn the Israeli attack on Somali territorial integrity and sovereignty,

Somalia is now in talks with China to offer them a free naval base in return for a NATO-type defense pact 🇸🇴🇨🇳

It has now been 1,162 days since Dan was arrested in a supermarket carpark.

He is an Australian citizen, he faces no Australian charges, the allegations against him were not a crime in Australia, the allegations have not been tested in court.

The Australian government have approved his extradition to the US, despite him not being a US citizen during the time of the allegations, and the allegations stemming from work that happened in South Africa, not the US.

And there you have it. META has not only changed the algorithm to suppress news on Israel's genocide, it's even disabled you from changing your personal settings to get news on Palestine

Israel burned all the churches and purged all the Christians from the Golan heights.

[Lorese Vera MA @MsTudor1]

Australians & peeps all over the world are well able to make the distinction between Jews & Israelis. Especially locals holding a peaceful celebration at Bondi. It is the Israeli gov & now the Aus who makes the DANGEROUS divisive distinction.

Watch | Peter Slezak, a philosophy professor in Sydney and Holocaust descendant, stresses the moral duty to defend the oppressed:

“I grew up with the horrors of Auschwitz as part of my life. But Palestinians did not commit the Holocaust, and it is immoral to make them pay for it. Exploiting that tragedy to justify Israel’s killings, displacement, and destruction of Palestinians distorts ‘never again.’

“Silence in the face of these crimes is complicity. Criticizing Israeli policies is not antisemitism, it is a human duty. True humanity is measured by standing with the oppressed, regardless of identity or the narratives imposed by history or religion.”

Ahmed Ouf: I went to Bondi and hugged people who'd never spoken to a Muslim before
‘This opinion piece by Cumberland councillor Ahmed Ouf was originally published in the Sydney Morning Herald on Wednesday, December 24. It was deleted from the Herald’s website following complaints from the Australian Jewish Association. Opinions expressed are those of the author alone.
“This week, I went to Bondi because I wanted to help, in whatever way I could.
Like many Australians, I could not sleep after seeing the images from the night of Sunday, December 14. Terrified children, parents using their bodies to protect their loved ones and people running in fear across the famous Bondi sands.
The scenes were deeply unsettling. When confronted with injustice or harm, I find it difficult to remain still. I feel compelled to act, to show up, to help, to offer whatever I can.
I went to Bondi with Australia front of mind; the Australia I want to live in and help build, as a human being, as a father, as a Muslim and as an elected representative. As a member of a minority that regularly faces discrimination and as part of a community that has experienced terrorist attacks and violence in places of worship, including in Christchurch, I felt a responsibility to show solidarity.”

If this video had come out of Iran, a young woman dragged, blindfolded, choked before a crowd, the West would already be mobilizing. Headlines would scream of barbarism, sanctions would be passed overnight, and generals would be drawing up strike plans.
But it is not Tehran. It is Berlin. She is white. And suddenly what would be called tyranny becomes "order," what would be condemned as barbarism is softened into "restraint."
This is not a double standard. It is a lie. The West manufactures images of Iran to justify war, while laundering its own violence into the language of democracy and law.
Berlin, she is white, so the world shrugs. Tehran, she is brown, and the world demands blood.
