Ethnic cleansing
Pictures from Gaza Strip are horrifying.
How come no-one is asking why Israel's IDF had to turn practically all of the Strip into rubble to defeat a relatively small Hamas army?
Hamas neither defeated nor destroyed (unlike Gaza Strip) & is now refusing to disarm.
War, or land clearance operation?

How did that work out
South Australia's premier told the Adelaide Festival board it would open itself to "accusations of hypocrisy" and "legitimate public ridicule" if it did not cancel the appearance of Randa Abdel-Fattah from Writers' Week.

someone - the Klaxon or maybe Deepcut - reported that immediate past president is an actual office holding (not former) position at ECAJ, so she was still an ECAJ office holder when appointed ASECA.

Bridget McKenzie is allowed to identify as a Zionist, but given that's the case, it should be obvious to her and all other self-professed Zionists that anti-Zionism ≠ anti-Semitism.
Bridget McKenzie tells Sky News she understands the concerns of the Jewish community because she is a “Zionist”.
Is that a personal identity now, or just a political brand anyone can adopt? 🤔

Where is our so-called envoy on Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, while actual Nazis parade outside Parliament? Silent. Just as she was silent when neo-Nazis joined anti-immigration rallies in August and October. Her voice only seems to find its volume when it’s time to condemn pro-Palestinian protesters

For two years, we’ve been told Australia is drowning in antisemitism. Every protest for Palestinian human rights, every mural, every chant criticising Israel has been hauled up as “evidence.”
