Israel kills starving children and people seeking medical treatment every day. With impunity. Every fn day. If speaking out against this genocide and any enablers of it makes me an antisemite, then I will wear this badge with pride. Jillian Segal should be sacked and ASECA shut down. #auspol #Gaza

#Antisemitism (AS) is the most overused and abused term in Australia right now. It is routinely deployed to threaten free speech and legitimate protest against the genocidal actions of the Netanyahu regime. /1

Investigating and calling out #genocide gets you sanctioned by the #US today, whereas a convicted felon hosting an indicted war criminal in the White House results in a Nobel Peace Prize recommendation for the former by the latter. We live in a wonderful world. I stand with Francesca Albanese 🇵🇸
