Not sure whether this was a Freudian slip by the PM,
or a deliberate signal to Herzog and Netanyahu of what has become increasingly obvious:

Australian Zionist Jews owe their first loyalty to Israel.
And Albo is now an Israeli puppet. #auspol

"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

Vote Minns out
Many of us have seen this coming. I’m nevertheless shocked at the brutality and harm inflected on protestors by NSW Police. This is aggressive control to subvert free speech and protest.

Quite apart from anything else, his grammar is absolutely shameful
Sadly amusing that it took Haaretz to pick up on this line by Albanese

Minns 19% swing in the Kogarah electorate in 2023 could be reversed in 2027. It's worth giving it a go.
I was all peaceful down here in Melbourne (and everywhere else in Oz as far as I can tell), so I guess the problem was Minns trying to outlaw peaceful protest and turn NSW into a Joh-style police state?

I dunno why Albo is surprised by what happened last night. He and Joh Bjelke Minns should hang their heads in shame for inviting a war criminal to Australia. Ian

Why is it that the only "feelings" that matter in Australia are "the feelings" of people who enable and support the genocide of Palestinians by Israel.

Please explain to me why this is, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social.

Indeed
And yet in Melbourne - with similar size crowd where we were blocking a major city intersection for over an hour, then marching - it wasn't like that. I'm pretty sure a similar mix of people were protesting Herzog in both cities. Spot the difference then.

Yes, describing the phenomenon is one thing, establishing why is of key importance. There is a long and complicated history over the past century and a half. It would be a good time for wider analysis and discussion.
Observing, again, that 'followers of Judaism who support the murderous state of Israel' are a tiny tiny group in Australia. So why do they dominate Australian politics, state and federal, even now our lives?

Because of the horrendous Bondi attack? Yes, to some extent, but was so long before.

Ffs. Are any mainstream media making any attempt to show incidents like this? Or ask the Commissioner about them?
Assistant police commissioner Peter McKenna: "It was really quite precarious at times for our officers who were significantly outnumbered by the protesters and the people who wanted to act in a violent and offensive manner."

Hypocrisy, gall, never waste a crisis.
That speech was a disgrace.
Why is the ALP so captured?
Yesterday Isaac Herzog tried to gaslight Australians, saying anyone arguing against his visit is also against Israel’s right to exist. He also openly rallied for support for Israel’s illegal invasion of Gaza.
He’s not here to mourn, this is a calculated political move. #auspol

Hope you read this @albomp.bsky.social

This could have been prevented by simply NOT inviting a war criminal here to gloat about his conduct

Australia is neither anti-Semitic nor Islamophobic & wants peace for all & the ability to express that sentiment

Shame on you & all who caused this.

If there are any Australians still unsure about how deeply entangled Albanese’s Labor Party is with Israel, here’s your proof. Minns should hang his head in shame. His actions represent neither social cohesion or democracy. I can’t think of another politician right now that is more unAustralian.
