I know many in the media and culture industries have been anxious watching the silencing and intimidation of workers who've spoken out for Palestine. I hope this video reassures you that you're supported by your comrades across the industry. Fight every way you can, hold strong together.

In the time it took to edit this video, Israel killed 6 more Palestinian journalists from the Al Jazeera team. These are targeted attacks to stop the truth getting out, to kill all witnesses.

The music here is 'Witness', composed by Connor D’Netto and performed by Jayson Gillham.

So we've got an antisemitism report that starts with references to instances of antisemitism that didn't actually happen. And that fails to mention dozens of cases across Oz where people were fired/cancelled/lost work for criticising Israeli war crimes or wearing keffiyeh or simply being Arab.

Anyway back to the Segal report on antisemitism. The foreword mentions hate-filled chants outside the Sydney Opera House - wasn't this disproven? After initial investigations by Antoinette Lattouf and Cam Wilson at @crikey.com.au? And then the ABC unfairly dismissed Lattouf later that same month?

And POC diasporas are always held collectively responsible for the actions of their presumed "homeland" even if they have no actual connection to it. This is racist, yes - but it's the reality for all of us. And idk, I think it's also an opportunity for solidarity and learning.

As if there's a single standard and not just a patchwork of racist double standards in what we expect of nations. As if Israel isn't treated far more sympathetically than other genocidal apartheid states.
