Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

Despite being from the north of Ireland, this charge does not relate to any of the openly supported terrorist organisations here because those are actual terrorist organisations you can support and the government will even give you money.
Kneecap star Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh has arrived at Westminster Magistrates Court this morning.
Crowds gathered to support the west Belfast rapper, who is accused of displaying a flag in support of a proscribed organisation.

There are no words left for what the Israeli government and IDF are doing to Gazans.
And yet we must still keep finding the words to say it loudly: they are actively committing genocide and the our governments are letting them.

Genuinely unbelievable 2nd half by Tipp and a performance for the ages from Darragh McCarthy. A 19 year old scoring 1-14 in an All-Ireland final is just mind-blowing. Never could have seen Cork being kept to 2 points in 2nd half. #GAA #AllIreland #spéirgorm

Guys, there’s no chance of the Irish becoming a minority in their own country. Do you know how many generations it would take for that to even be possible? If that’s something you’re worried about ahead of healthcare, housing, wealth inequality, climate change etc you might just be a racist
