Maybe someone should ask the Israeli president about this on Monday
I guess I'm a dupe or something, because I'm still capable of being shocked by this stuff.

The graves of Anzac soldiers in Gaza have been desecrated. Where is The Australian's outrage?
The News Corp publication, usually quick to defend the memory of fallen Anzac soldiers, is quiet on the destruction of a grave in Gaza where more than 250 Australian servicemen are buried.

I saw this story after the one about the smashed crown. I can honestly say I love brooches & have quite a few. In fact my avatar photo is a brooch that I lost last year. It's actually silver in colour but shows up gold on the red coat it's pinned to. #auspol

Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.

This doesn't sound like anything to do with stopping antisemitism, but it does look very much like it is intended to stop criticism of Israel & the genocide in Gaza. Protests aren't against Jews, they are against genocide.

If you criticise Israel for genocide in Gaza, you're an antisemite according to the AJA who don't like Phillip Boulton SC being appointed to the Supreme Court even after they lobbied the gov against the appointment.
Perhaps the AJA could spend time criticising Israel's genocide.
