Yes, we don’t need those with political agendas hijacking a tragic act by some radical extremists. We need unity more than ever and love for all our community

It seems to me that those who should know better are actively fueling antisemitism and many of us with a neutral view of Judaism and Jewishness are becoming very tired of being treated like fools by the Israeli lobbies and Zionists.

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.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Red line.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Image: horizon line, river of red flows from left to right; PM Albanese stands beside looking. Text from above left:
“The 1948 UN Genocide Convention, adopted in the wake of the mass murder of Jews by Nazi Germany, requires all countries to act to prevent and stop genocide.
The world’s biggest academic association of genocide scholars has passed a resolution, with 86% declaring Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza to be genocide.
Where is our red line?”

We drive past the Wellington solar farm often and see the sheep grazing there. Great to hear that the farmers can benefit from grazing their sheep in the solar farm . A win for the farmer and the environment 😀

Study “…found the wool from sheep grazing under solar panels was stronger and grew faster. Scientists attribute this to the year-round nutrition provided by the vegetation growing in the micro-habitats created by the shade of solar panels.

Fact of #history is that three great religions-Christians Jews Muslims-have been fighting one another in Middle East for 1500 years & will continue to so do so for centuries to come. Another fact is that organised #religion is curse of #humanity. Personal faith is totally different matter.
