Imagine the pressure that the USA must have put on Italy, Greece and Spain for their leaders to backflip as they have. They knew their constituents will never forgive them, they knew it would be seen as a very public castration, and yet they still did it.

Netanyahu just validated the discourse comparing Israel’s genocide of Palestinians to the Nazi holocaust. Self-incriminatingly, he suggested they differ because the Nazis didn’t propose moving Jews out of Germany before deciding on the Final Solution.

According to NSW Police the Bridge March for Gaza in Sydney today was 90,000 and too many to be safe, but 25 years ago when 250,000 of us walked over the bridge for Reconciliation it was fine. Not even the ‘We didn’t have time to prepare’ excuse can account for a double standard this obvious.

Israel’s intent in a nutshell
A 2,000lb bomb kills for 360m in every direction and maims for 800m, that’s a blast area with a 5km circumference. Israel dropped 600 of these in 6 weeks from 7 Oct ‘23 on a civilian city with a population density of 5,500 humans/sq.km.

The point, @tonyburkemp.bsky.social, is that Jillian Segal accommodates and values a supporter of extreme racism at the very heart of her life.
Antisemitism is a real problem and endorsing people like Segal delegitimises the fight against it.
