Soooooo ... I've started a Substack (y'know, in case the social media oligarchs and fascists get so bad that I have to delete some places)
I'll be discussing Books/Publishing/Culture/Me.
Hey - it could be worse; I could be starting a podcast! 😅 substack.com/@daniellebinks

Well gee, you invite the president of an apartheid state committing genocide into the country as a very special guest, and while they’re here you have to admit you think they’re a little excessive in their occupation. Awks!

Really contributing to social cohesion - smearing those critical of Israel's actions in Gaza, suggesting the govt (that stupidly invited him) was in some way responsible for the Bondi atrocity.
We warned of surging antisemitism before Bondi attack, says Israeli president
At the start of his Australian visit, Isaac Herzog accused pro-Palestinian protesters of seeking to undermine Israel’s right to exist.

The Age publishing Herzog’s slander against anti-war protesters, who had nothing to do with the Bondi terror attack by psychotic murderers. Pro-Palestine, anti-genocide protesters have been peaceful in calling for Israel to end their apartheid ethnostate as well as the genocide in Gaza. #AusPol
