It's tempting to withhold forgiveness from people who have done evil before learning empathy but frankly calling people in and accepting they can change is how we win. Empathy is the natural human state and we can fight hate with love.

Wild that an opinion piece in the Australian on the weekend published unconfirmed things from rando accounts on X - where so much misinformation about Bondi was floating around.

Deborah Conway explicitly stated that she did not consider Palestinian children to be like other human children. It was viciously, blatantly racist.
Albanese is mentioning Deborah Conway and the criticise she has faced for her pro-Israel views as an example of why he needed to call this RC. Again, if you needed more proof as to what this was really about.

Sussan Ley won the royal commission argument. For the sake of unity, will she lower the temperature?
The opposition isn’t obliged to give the government a free pass – but it’s time to let the inquiry and criminal court proceedings do their work

Totally incoherent statement. It’s one thing to refuse to boycott (still pathetic), another to explicitly say you support the decision to blacklist Abdel-Fattah and use an incomprehensible argument for why.

Bendigo Writers Festival, Meanjin, now Adelaide Writers … powerful vested interests would rather destroy the cultural institutions they are supposedly responsible for than allow certain voices to be heard
Adelaide Festival board facing a stark choice: Are they willing to sacrifice the entire festival to prevent a single Palestinian-Australian author from speaking?

The bullies that went after first the Bendigo and now Adelaide writers festival for daring to include a Palestinian voice don't give a fuck that this will wreck the festival. They just want to make it clear they'll do this again and again, so you're best complying in advance.

1) So if someone in the IDF bought a pair of Jordans then Nike should be boycotted? 2) yes, a coordinated boycott of small list of companies with specific reasons and goals will go broader, last longer, and have more success then everyone choosing different things to boycott.

Exactly there’s no evidence the Sony cameras haven’t just been bought of the shelf, but the bigger point is to focus on the companies on the list to focus the pressure, rather than just every brand anyone in the IDF uses.

The whole point of a coordinated campaign is to be coordinated, and Sony isn’t on the list. The fact that the IDF uses their camera doesn’t show anything.

The 10 IRA and INLA hunger strikers who died in 1981 survived for between 46 and 73 days. These Palestine Action hunger strikers in the UK have been on strike for 45, 59, and 66 days.
If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.
