"Critics have been targeting Israel, the IDF and Netanyahu, not Jewishness or Jews. That’s not antisemitic."
But that clear distinction is cynically blurred by the Israel lobby, and vocal supporters in the media and political establishment.
Such as Malinauskas.

Gory sausage making at the Labor knackery
“Social coherence” is being invoked everywhere, but public trust is fraying. Political panic, rushed laws and weak leadership are deepening division, not repairing it.

This is essentially what happened in the UK with their designation of Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organisation and banning slogans etc. Thousands were arrested. We need another Sydney Harbour bridge march—not just thousands, hundreds of thousands.
If someone could mass produce affordable anti genocide tshirts we could clog up the courts with this insane law against “thought crimes”. I’d be happy to distribute to all and sundry.

Weird how the ABC never mentions that there’s an ICC arrest warrant out for Netanyahu for crimes against humanity, or that he’s led a genocide in Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agrees to join US President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace" despite his office previously criticising the makeup of the executive committee.

In the same sense as Middle Manager in a dystopian corporation, yes.
We get told what to do by upper powers, and are punished if disobedient.
We tell Lesser powers what to do, mostly wrong or incomplete, and they pretend to respect us.
The farcical news is very pretentious!

Whether it's illegal to say it or not (?), Israel is quite clearly committing genocide in Palestine. The Australian government (but not the Australian people) is quite clearly supporting it. And our farce of a democracy is being further eroded so people don't speak this truth.
