“Today the Israeli President falsified history. In 1917, Beersheba was an Arab town in the Ottoman Empire. Later, the UN partition plan for British Palestine allocated it to a Palestinian State. Israel took it anyway, then depopulated the Palestinians.”

Too late. Inviting #Herzog here has turned the temperature up and brought the conflict here. #Qt

Protest against police violence, right now, outside Surrey Hills PS. Big. People very unhappy after last night's police riot.

"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

It's telling, isn't it, how our utmost respect these days goes to the cartoonists.
A stark contrast to how we feel about politicians, media magnates, billionaires and tech bros.

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

Humans are planning to build a safer platform for Dr Cilla Kinross to access Diamond's (and for now, Gimbir's) nestbox.

Diamond is alert to the sound of human voices, and especially that tape measure they're wielding. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

No surprise that Minns & Police are doubling down & misleading us about last night’s events.

It was a peaceful protest with Australians from all walks of life.

Police were extremely heavy handed.

Remember - we vote in NSW in March 2027!! #auspol #nswpol

The violent scenes that played out in central Sydney last night were deeply troubling, and entirely foreseeable.

We are Australians, first and foremost. Inviting a foreign head of state to Australia when the consequences for social cohesion are so obvious shows a serious failure of judgment.

Did I correctly hear Police Commissioner Lanyon describe the President of Israel as “their President” when describing Jewish Australians? Albo should never have invited the Israeli Pres to Australia. The Labor caucus must stop its supine acceptance of dumb dangerous decisions.

Labor leadership defending decisions to limit democratic protest and invite the head of a foreign state committing genocide to Australia.
The police violence in Sydney was disgusting. What has happened to my party? Why are they defending genocide and police violence?

“Police violence is not a glitch. It is the design. Policing in Australia was forged in a colony built on land theft & the control of bodies. From the earliest days, law & order didn't exist to protect everyone equally, it existed to protect the colony's interests: property, settlement,“

Compelling i/view on #RN just now with Abigail Boyd, a NSW Greens politician injured by police at the Sydney protest last night. She'd been released from hospital a few hours earlier and was understandably still distressed at how a peaceful protest was turned violent by police intervention. #auspol

The solution is to put Zoe back in Goldstein and more people like her on the crossbench. Evolution is slow, and in the meantime there is the circus.

Referring to the protest last night in Sydney as ‘a rolling melee of violence’ as Deputy Commissioner Peter McKenna has - is a flat out lie. #auspol
