"If the connection between rising antisemitism and the “character of Israel’s war” was included in the royal commission’s terms of reference, though, one could easily imagine support for it evaporating."

What happened to Australia's media after the Bondi attack? It judged & blindly swung into campaign mode.

Royal commissions air everything publicly. One on Bondi would influence matters before the court because they are subject to sub judice laws. #auspol nickfeik.substack.com/p/weaponisin...

I can not get past Australia’s very generously publicly funded Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism reciting social cohesion to advance zionist agenda when her husband and brother in law are among the biggest donors to Advance.
How grotesque. At a time where we need positive political leadership that brings us together, unites us, protects our social cohesion & multiculturalism these dills seek to exploit tragedy, division and fear. Shame on them all.

I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission.
In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here:

Sussan Ley just doesn’t see irony of her bat 🦇 shit 💩 crazy 🤪 statements. The last sentence of her presser praising Trump for kidnapping the president of Venezuela is ‘we should live in a world where dictators and despots face justice for their crimes’

Oh honey. You need help

How in the goddamn fuck do we live in a world where 60 so-called “stars” who’ve never raised their voices (AFAWK) about the slaughter of ~380,000 children in Gaza are suddenly prepared to start yelling for a useless RC into nothing?

What in the FUCK are these arsewipes playing at?

Another First Nations woman dead in police custody taking the total to 59 Indigenous deaths in the hands of police in just 2 years.

We have shown how quickly we can act against racism towards Jewish Australians.
Why has that same urgency never existed for First Nations ppl?

It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

If you're coming in her mouthing off about "politics" without any idea of the context of this post, let me assure you I'd say this about any politician who used this event to exploit their incessant political culture wars right now

bsky.app/profile/ronn...
Simon, her politicising of this event is about as low an act from a supposed leader as I've ever seen

I don't care what political colours anyone wears, (see Kellie Sloane's classy response as an example of what we should expect) but Ley's instant, opportunistic politicking of this is disgusting

In the name of “social cohesion” Zionists will soon have their own exclusive armed special forces on Australian streets, in addition to special oversight of Australian media, arts, culture, and education by way of the Zionist envoy, Jillian Segal. Cool and normal.

Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response.

Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

These personal attacks are undignified, unwarranted and divisive. The whole press conference was unhinged from reality and dangerous for long term social cohesion. I couldn't be more digusted and disappointed in the LNP's response to a national tragedy.
Sussan Ley spent the press conference blaming the PM, then turned on Penny Wong. Totally over the top. Not a good look. Disgraceful. #auspol #bondi

Albo just got booed at the memorial for the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting.

I immediately felt sick.

I’m also angry that this tragedy has been so politicised.

Albo is not to blame. The Labor government is not to blame.

Hateful extremists ARE to blame.

We need unity. Not more hate.

Because they are white, the media calls them a “brat pack” not white gangs. Remember when the racist Australian media spread fear of (nonexistent) African gangs and white people feeling unsafe to go to restaurants?
