Colbert *and* Jimmy Kimmel, now. All this, coming from the "free speech" crowd. The cognitive dissonance that establishment America is asking an entire nation, an entire world, to sit inside is breaking brains. Just as with Israel, every accusation is a confession.

I am often accused of being too emotional when reporting on politics - but I would rather have a human emotional response than pretend this is just 'reshaping US policy in the Middle East'. It's ethnic cleansing and the end of the rule of law. And the Australian government has said nothing
If the Aust Govt does not denounce this immediately, we are complicit in approving ethnic cleansing of a historic level
