Israel is erasing Palestinians in every way they can:
ethnic cleansing
detention and torture
destroying infrastructure
denial of aid, and
thermobaric weapons.

When President Herzog visits Parliament today, any MP or Senator who attends is complicit with genocide.

As beautiful as they were powerful: Jon Kudelka’s political cartoons were made with true conviction
The award-winning cartoonist Jon Kudelka died in Hobart on Sunday, aged 53. Over 30 years, his work resisted the polarisation of the contemporary Australian media.

If fracking begins in the Kimberley, it could damage a sacred river
Fracking exploration wells are likely to proceed in the Kimberley. Given how much more we know about the risks of fracking, this seems dangerous.

I notice in the Courier Mail today they've gone completely quiet on the Palestine protests.
Nothing in the first 5 pages

Do they know they've all fucked up?

Never forget that Jewish-Australian and former IDF soldier Avi Yemini proudly called himself "A proud Jewish Nazi" before describing how he blew Palestinian children's heads off for fun.

No one says anything about that, nor deports his sorry racist arse back to Israel.

Australia’s continuing protection of war crimes
Herzog’s visit to Australia has nothing to do with “social cohesion” but is protecting and legitimising the criminal actions of the state of Israel.

Exactly!
This was my question : why not a respected spiritual leader instead of a divisive politician, who has demonstrated since the beginning of his visit that the Bondi victims 'show' was completely performative.
His real motives are in his words.
Who's tune is our executive dancing to?
Wonder why Albo didn't invite Chief Rabbi David Yosef or Chief Rabbi Kalman Ber to comfort our traumatised Jewish community?
This would have avoided the whole issue of who is head of state in Australia, an issue which Albo has now injected into current enflamed situation.

This is sickening. For comparison, this is more than the Department of Energy spent for all solar power and wind power R&D for the whole country.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

"As Nomi Kaltmann observed, there are no political loyalty oaths to being Jewish."

No political loyalty oaths, but Zionism is busily trying to fill this vacuum.

Jewish culture and identity long predates Zionism, and has survived far worse. 🕎≠🇮🇱

The BBC has fallen into the trap of calling protesters “pro Palestine”.

Possibly partly true, but it’s much more complex than that.

Anti genocide. Pro freedom to protest. Anti government created division.

It’s easier for the establishment to label protesters as pro Palestine.

This is a pretty good report by the ABC (relatively) in which the official lies are obvious to anyone not invested in believing offical lies. Minns is a skilled caster-of-doubt aka liar.
There will be no meaningful investigation of the police & that should appal us.

@albomp.bsky.social You've really put Australia on the map.
Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
