“When you see someone throw a brick at an ICE agent - the question is: Who paid for that brick?”
I can’t. This is too ridiculous.

On the day that a Palestinian writer is dropped from Adelaide Writer’s Week for being *checks notes* Palestinian.
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.

Unlikely to happen,
but any effective royal commission should address how Israel and its vocal local advocates deliberately and dangerously conflate antisemitism with criticism of the genocidal rogue state.
And so do more than most to undermine 'social cohesion'. #auspol

Anthony Albanese could surrender leadership of the Labor Party to Josh Frydenberg and The Australian would still run stories condemning him for not doing enough.
It's a fight, Mr Albanese, not a good-faith negotiation.
Get out of the mainstream media bubble and fight back.

To point out that Maduro is deeply unpopular across much of Latin America and a potential majority of Venezuelans wanted him gone is not to justify Trump's actions but rather indicate that responses in Latin American societies might not conform with partisan battle lines in the US.
