Belgium joins South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at ICJ https://aje.io/49ttvf

"We need to shoot them. Bring the air force and shoot the people who are lighting the fires" MK Zvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism), Minister Idit Silman (Likud) and MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Jewish Power), in a Knesset committee meeting on December 3rd, call to murder every Palestinian in the West Bank

Absolutely wild pink nitrogen ribbon aurora burst last night here in Iceland. There was cloud cover, and I was worried the show would stay shrouded. Voila! The purpley-pink & white ribbons are much closer to us in the atmosphere than standard green arcs, and are fast moving. #northernlights #aurora

I can’t read all of this it’s paywalled #CanberraTimes opinion piece by #JackWaterford however what I could read, gave me some hope that there is a journalist out there who can think critically & is emotionally intelligent. Thank you Jack . www.canberratimes.com.au/story/913783...

Three guesses on which WhatsApp group has bombarded the abc with complaints. 🙄 www.abc.net.au/about/media-...

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

We're becoming an authoritarian right-wing one-party state and we didn't even need a coup this time out. Just a bunch of shitty newspapers and massive sellouts across politics/civil society

But god forbid we protest. www.reddit.com/r/israelexpo...

"Equating the hundreds of thousands of people who have protested for a stronger stand against a genocide...with supporting a massacre is just as insane as using the massacre for political point-scoring & to set up a fight about migration" @amyremeikis.bsky.social www.deepcutnews.com/p/massacre-a...

“Australians often respond to tragedy with compassion and solidarity… What is hard to stomach is how quickly grief gives way to the politics of misery – a perpetual, performative outrage machine that feeds on escalation rather than care.” theaimn.net/the-politics...

Sussan Ley is broadly contemptible. But critcising a political opponent for "failing to cry in public" is a new low. #AusPol

Truly pathetic. The type of performance that has your colleagues start doing the numbers. Not just stupid, but stupid politics - gives Albanese an easy chance to show himself as a leader and take the high road. Most voters don't even know who Ley is. So this will be their first impression

The murderers fired 33 rounds in the first minute at Bondi. There's blood on the hands of the politicians and regulators who enabled that, who sold out to the gun lobby to put such rapid-fire killing machines in their hands, undermining Port Arthur. Mine for MWM michaelwest.com.au/bondi-traged...

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

I’m totally convinced that the US collectively failed a cognitive test at least twice

There's a contemporary alternative to the reverse ferret where the press suddenly realises they're way out of sync with the public, but instead of pivoting they start arguing with the public

Media release: Unity must guide the Government's response to Bondi attack, not divisive pro-Israel wishlist Full release available at the link in our bio.

Ro Khanna says two of the most critical documents Epstein survivors demanded were not released today, a 60-count indictment drafted before Epstein’s sweetheart deal and an 82-page memo backing it up Both are missing Transparency law violated.Survivors ignored.Accountability still nowhere in sight

If you taxed every Billionaire in the UK so they only had £1bn you would get £1.1tn, an entire year’s worth of tax revenue. It would affect only 173 People. Tax the Rich, they’ve stolen all the money and dodged tax for decades. It‘s time for payback.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Minns fails to understand that real democracy requires concerned citizens demonstrating against inhumanity, genocide, apartheid, colonialism and misuse of power. A Labor Premier must not sacrifice democratic rights on the altar of ill informed, short term, knee jerk reactions.

You can throw in more funding, create new laws & establish as many taskforces as you like to tackle antisemitism, but until Israel stops slaughtering innocent Palestinian men, women & children, and stops stealing land, the underlying problem will always remain.

Bridget McKenzie has a lot of nerve lecturing the government on antisemitism after she did everything in her power to water down section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act. She was hoping to make racism & antisemitism a matter of “free speech” #auspol #Bondi

@albomp.bsky.social FYI. www.reddit.com/r/israelexpo...

I want every journo to ask her about her shady dealings with the NRA to sell more guns in this country. She has no moral high ground in this tragedy and is personally responsible for othering minorities and stoking division for political gain. That’s her whole career FFS.

Netherlands included Israel on its list of foreign states that pose a threat to the country for the 1️⃣st time 🕵️ Dutch security agency accused Israel of attempting to influence politics and public opinion through disinformation

Remember that even if American democracy survives, the people who tried to kill it will pay nothing. Merry Christmas!

Here's me. "Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children"

He was just waiting for his chance. Australia news live: Minns announces broad new laws to ban protests, claiming marches ‘unleashed forces that are not being contained’

Thanks @ronnisalt.bsky.social You are truly one of the best writers in Australia. Thank you.

Episode also notes lack of media coverage of Australia’s gun market being flooded with weapons that seem specifically designed to circumvent Port Arthur law reforms. A great piece from Michael Bachelard here www.theage.com.au/national/spe...

The Palestine Action ban is an incredible story of the criminalization of political speech, but also of solidarity in defense of that speech. As the thread points out, most of those arrested have been older and women. As John Boyce explained here, the ban is part of a broader trend across Europe.

Thank you.

The Vanity Fair photographer, Christopher Anderson, is one of the most respected portrait photographers currently on earth, with an incredible body of work. Everything he and the creative team did with That Article was intentional. Your reactions were provoked by artists making art. Human artists!

I wonder what Josh thinks of this….. www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/11/jewi...

Clare Wright says La Trobe lacked “moral courage” in the Bendigo Writers Festival collapse — and still hasn’t apologised or explained its actions. ~ Dr Rosemary Sorensen 'Wrong risks, no moral courage': La Trobe and the Bendigo Writers Festival independentaustralia.net/life/art-dis...

It's over five months since Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal made headlines for being one of the biggest funders of highly divisive, far-right political lobby group "Advance". She has at all times refused to denounce Advance, its bigotry and racist hate. theklaxon.com.au/jillian-sega...

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Peter Arnett, who traveled the world covering wars from Vietnam to Iraq, has died.

Simon, her politicising of this event is about as low an act from a supposed leader as I've ever seen I don't care what political colours anyone wears, (see Kellie Sloane's classy response as an example of what we should expect) but Ley's instant, opportunistic politicking of this is disgusting

Albo is completely fine with fvcking over university history and politics courses, free speech, honesty and accuracy. Just as bad as Starmer. @albomp.bsky.social Never let a tragedy go to waste huh?

3 in 4 AUs hold negative prejudices against Aborigines. 11 out of 12 their kids experience racism. They asked for a Voice to Parliament. One family gave Advance $50k to help 9.5M AUs to vote against First Peoples. Why & how did the Jewish community get A Voice b/c of 'antisemitism'? Please explain.

the USA/LEBANESE REGIMES SEEM TO HAVE GIVEN ISRAHELL GREENLIGHT TO KILL MORE LEBANESE? LEBANESE GOVERNMENT IS DOIGN ABOUT THESE ATTACKS? IT IS AS IF,THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THESE LEBANESE CITIZENS?Hezbollah??? english.palinfo.com/news/2025/12...
