Antisemitism Envoy admits she 'wasn't focused on' unequal protections in 'hate laws' seeking to protect only one religion. The bias isn't a bug it's a feature.

"The simple fact is that Israeli actions endanger all of us, including Jews. Because what Israel is doing claims to in our name, in my name. And believe me when I say it is not in my name."

Thank you to advisory committee member, Antony Loewenstein for speaking out at last night's rally

The head of the State of Israel is making a very public visit to Australia.

Visa considerations include if someone is implicated in war crimes and genocide.

The Government refuses to even acknowledge if they gave President Herzog a visa

Read executive officer, Sarah Schwartz's opinion piece in the Financial Review today about why Herzog doesn't represent Australian Jewry and shouldn't have been invited in the first place: www.afr.com/policy/forei...

The paradox of political art under fascism is that it is asked to compensate for a failed political opposition while, at the same time, bland statements like "we should be nice to each other" or "I should be allowed to exist" come to be seen as radical and therefore sufficient.

Amidst all the other fuckery, BOM's '25 climate statement flew under the radar:

"Australia recorded its fourth‑warmest year on record, with the national annual average temperature 1.23 °C above the long‑term average.

Maximum temperatures were 1.48 °C above average"

It is already soul crushing to closely follow both USA *and* Australian news, I don’t think I have the stamina to wrap my head around UK political developments too.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I know you all know this, but all Australians should go compare how the police are treating peaceful protestors tonight vs how they treated the white supremacist who tried to pipebomb Aboriginal speakers in Boorloo Perth. Tells you everything.

Australia, being brainwashed by cops & a spineless Federal Government.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour by NSW police.
Extraordinary footage. Police pulling off people engaged in peaceful prayer.

We've shut down the busiest pedestrian intersection in Naarm/Melbourne because our government invited a genocidal war criminal to our country

Albanese’s stupid, immoral decision to invite Herzog has inflamed divisions in the local Jewish community too.

I asked the Attorney General's Department (the chief legal agency) multiple times if Isaac Herzog has legal immunity even for the most heinous crimes of war crimes and complicity in genocide.

Again and again they refused to answer saying they would not provide legal advice.

Your government is grotesquely complicit, Australia. But you don't need to be. In times of atrocity, you have a moral obligation to dissent and resist. I learnt this through Holocaust education (somewhat ironic, nowadays). This is where protests start. Free Palestine, free us all

Thanks to your support, our full-page ad is in today’s Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Over 1,000 Jews and thousands of allies have signed our open letter to say that Israeli President Isaac Herzog is not welcome here.

Help us spread the word!
