I can only imagine the struggle it’s been for Cathy Wilcox to do her job as an artist responding to the most troubling things in our world.
The Israel Lobby want to make that task impossible whether you’re a journalist, an artist, a doctor, an academic, or simply anyone who is drawing breath, and is appalled at Israel’s conduct. Who can blame her for getting out. How many careers will it be enough to kill? Not till they get to the end, where all institutions bend both knees and lick the ground at their feet.

The Independent and Sydney Morning Herald's coverage of my book being banned at a public library in Australia engaged in at least three of the tropes detailed in the book itself. I thought, as an object lesson, it would be useful document them. https://t.co/qedireTuU4
I have a friend who was savagely raped by a guy in her social circle and her friends told her they didn't want to take sides about it because they valued their friendship with both her AND her rapist.
That's what saying "I'm both pro-Palestine AND pro-Israel" reminds me of.
In the past 24 hours the IDF has (all separate incidents):
1) Shot and killed a 10 year old girl who was sitting and eating lunch inside her family’s tent
2) Killed a 4 year old boy
3) Killed a 14 year old boy
4) Attacked a desalination plant
5) Attacked a Mosque and hung an Israeli flag from it
6) Continued dropping bombs on southern Lebanon
7) Israelis burned Palestinian cars and homes in East Jerusalem
And more
This isn’t out of the ordinary. This is what daily existence is like for Palestinians.
If you can’t feel for them, you have no humanity.
And if you can’t see that Israel is the major obstacle to peace in the region, then you have no critical thinking skills.
🔴 These two 17 year old boys were killed yesterday in an Israeli drone strike in Kfar Rumman, Lebanon.
Israel has killed hundreds of children in Lebanon since March 2, 2026.
May they rest in peace.
If you wonder why the arms industry and gambling industry get bi partisan political support watch #4Corners.The arms and gambling lobby have untold influence.That’s
why you get piss weak gambling laws and $368b disasters such as AUKUS.
The system sucks and we pay the price!
‘Moderate’ supporters of genocide are the extremists in plain sight.
F-35 jets parts anyone?
“What’s so ‘moderate’ about supporting genocide?
“The soothing ‘moderate’ label routinely goes to candidates who’ve supported continual arming of Israel.”

AUKUS is not about keeping Australians safe, it is about keeping the pockets of government insiders full.
Politicians for Liberal and Labor are leaving Parliament only to make a killing lobbying for foreign arms corporations.
Watch the full story on ABC's 4 corners tonight.
‘a substantial contribution globally to jurisprudence pushing back on the conflation between antisemitism and criticism of Israel’

"The Israel lobby wrote itself a dictionary. Governments adopted it, regulators enforced it and police made arrests under it. Then it met a judge who required evidence, and it collapsed in an afternoon."

Larry and David Ellison who own Tiktok, Paramount, Oracle and many Media establishments have called Mark Ruffalo antisemitic because he called out their support for evil and murder.
Antisemitism is what they have when they have nothing.
@HedgieMarkets The play you have to make now is compare prices through one device. Then book via another device that is connected with a connection that is on a different network to the original inquiry
The dumbest argument I've heard in favor of religion is "Oh so you're saying the majority of humanity is wrong??"
Of course they are. Have you seen humanity? The majority is wrong about a great many things. They only just began figuring out that Israel is bad, for fuck's sake.
We live in a highly controlled and indoctrinated society where people are aggressively propagandized by the powerful to believe things which benefit the powerful. It is not safe to vote with the majority in such a civilization. The mainstream worldviews we are given to choose from are made of pure power-serving bullshit.
My replies are going to be full of people talking about religion, but this isn't a post about religion. I couldn't care less if you're religious; I'm just saying in an insane society like the one we live in, you've got to have the courage to stand on your own and rely on your own reasoning. You might make mistakes, but figuring it out on your own has a much higher probability of finding the truth than following the herd while trapped inside a mind-controlled dystopia.
Strangely enough, I don't recall the Financial Review writing hysterical editorials when Gov General, David Hurley grabbed $18M of public money to fund a niche little, erm "leadership program" - one he helped set up
But women talking about sexual assault?
Get the knives out
Still looking in vain for this headline in today's media:
Local Jewish leaders condemn Israel for refusing to conduct a criminal investigation into the murder of Zomi Frankom
Happy to be corrected ...
