I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.
I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.

Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong.
Wherever in the world it happens.
You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.

Baby killing, wholesale slaughter, starvation and torture! What’s not to admire from our Zionist chums! My disgust with the Current Labour leadership is beyond description!
And there lies the problem. Her speech only this last Monday at the annual Labour Friends of Israel dinner. Labour have conflicted interests and will never be impartial on Gaza.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers.
It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.
All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

In October 2025, Palestinians in the #WestBank faced over 260 attacks by settlers. This is the highest number of attacks recorded in one month in 20 years.
The violence is not only physical but also causing deep psychological harm.

Anyone who’s ever actually spoken to a single asylum seeker about their experiences in any country in Europe simply could not honestly conclude that what would improve things would be to further reduce their human rights protections.
