The people calling for a RC for Bondi aren’t interested in community safety, they want a show trial and to heavily restrict the rights of people who criticise Israel. Call this bullshit out for what it is.

This is what happens everytime. Israel commits atrocities in Gaza and the West quickly moves on, and Israel never faces accountability.
We should be all extremely concerned that Gaza and the West Bank has fallen off the news agenda.
Since the so called ceasefire Israel has killed 1000 Palestinians and banned over 30 well respected humanitarian orgs. Gaza is also grappling with flooding, high winds & extreme cold.

The Australian media’s manufactured consent for Israel in Gaza and now the United States in Venezuela is shameful.

The problem is the United States has been doing this stuff in Latin America and the Middle East for decades, well before Trump came into power.
I cannot wait until Trump is out of office! Simply dreadful man who incites violence! worst President of the United States that they have ever had!

The bombing of Venezuela is an act of aggression: unprovoked, unjustified and unjustifiable.

My election take for ANU’s Near East Policy Forum 👇
A re-elected Albanese Government will have the opportunity - and should - hold Israel accountable for crimes in Gaza, and do the right thing and recognise Palestine.

The resilience of these people is incredible. Great result.
The Palestinian national team just held AFC giants South Korea to a 1-1 draw in World Cup qualifier, just like they did in their away game in Seoul.
It's stunning how two out of three points for Palestine are draws against the best team in the group. Solid performance 🇵🇸
