The most insistent calls for a Royal Commission into the Bondi shooting are emerging from opposition politicians, peak Zionist organisations, and sections of the media already invested in a narrative that links antisemitism to criticism of Israel. www.greenleft.org.au/2025/1445/an...
Who is demanding a royal commission into Bondi attacks — and why?
Halim Rane argues that opposition politicians, Zionist organisations and establishment media are driving the calls for a Royal Commission into the Bondi shooting.

The rise of antisemitism in Australia is not an enormous wave. It is more like a ripple — albeit a deeply worrying one as it could rise into a tsunami if we do not untangle the conflation between Zionism and Judaism and distinguish between Jews and Israel. www.greenleft.org.au/2025/1445/an...
A day of mourning
Jepke Goudsmit argues that we need to untangle the conflation between Zionism and Judaism and make clear the distinction between the worldwide community of Jews and the State of Israel.

Remaining steadfast for Palestine
Change comes when enough see that a better world is possible and work towards it. Therefore, Jepke Goudsmit argues, we cannot give up. Palestinians have a word for it — “sumud”.

The Right to Protest is a Basic Universal Human Right!

Taking away that BUHR must be regarded and considered one of the most serious crimes against humanity ever!

Fight ALL attempts/actions that limit or even prevent to raise your voice in protest, stand-up against those opposing ppl's rights!

US policy on Venezuela shows clear double standards. It buys oil, then threatens war. Maduro has failed workers, but invasion will only bring chaos. Respect sovereignty, reject military force.
