"Australia is told [of] an unprecedented wave of antisemitism, a crisis requiring extraordinary measures, including a Royal Commission. But police data, court findings, and parliamentary evidence tell a very different story" #auspol michaelwest.com.au/antisemitism...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

More and more AUKUS as a defence policy is essentially “our best way to stop being invaded is to keep bribing the USA”

The US of course has form when it comes to "interventions" in Latin America and around the world. #DownWithAmerica #StandWithVenezuela

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?

Excellent ABC #MediaWatch episode. @lintonbesser.bsky.social discussed the unified refusal by most news media orgs to agree to the new rules for reporting from the Pentagon. Besser also provided nuanced commentary on the Mahmoud Fazal story. #JournalismMatters iview.abc.net.au/show/media-w...

Can’t wait for the Albanese government to come out and say loudly how interfering with other nations’ ships on international waters is illegal and to be condemned* *except when Israel does it to prevent aid ships reaching Gaza with Australians aboard. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

A brilliant panel/discussion including the arms dealers/influence peddlers at the NPC, the failure of media/government/institutions/agencies eg. NACC, the ceasefire in Gaza, the Narcissist-in-Chief, and much more. Congrats to Dave on the major coup of getting Chris Hedges on the show next week! 👏🙏👏

We have literal nazis on the streets and not a word from the tax payer funded anti-semitism envoy Jillian Segal. Maybe because they aren't students with Palestine flags protesting Israel's genocide. #auspol

Anyone that lived through Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan and is falling for this as well has truly pig-tier pattern recognition skills

Bob Carr: how much longer will we be able to treat this Israel as a normal diplomatic partner? It is behaving like a pariah, demanding to be treated like one. Challenge to our own Jewish lobby: when will you condemn it? #auspol #israel

Yep. Past time to ditch the "deputy sheriff" role KELLIE TRANTER It is time for the Australian Govt to read the tea leaves and develop a much more sophisticated and independent foreign policy that reflects who we are and what we perceive to be our place in the world johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...

All reporting of Netanyahu's opinions on the Australian national interest should state upfront that he's an indicted war criminal subject to arrest if he comes here.

If Australia is sincere in its support for Palestinian liberation, it cannot have any involvement in arming the state which is committing this genocide. Australia must stop supplying components for Israel's F-35 fighter jets. #auspol #palestine #IDF

We all know what is happening in Gaza. So both AUS PM Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong are also fully aware. Yet they choose NOT to use terms like "murder", "war crimes", "ethnic cleansing" or "genocide". They choose NOT to condemn or sanction Israel. #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Yes & almost all our politicians, each own several houses each & give their grown-arse kids deposits or whole houses are ignorant of the trauma & curbed life options forced by the housing shut-out. People are at the mercy of constant rent rises & appalling conditions: so much insecurity & stress.

After 2 years of Gaza genocide, what does it mean to say to Palestinians, 'We’ve decided to recognise you exist, maybe…sometime in the future' when the death toll is rising right now?' @michellepini.bsky.social

Choices. My @smh @theage cartoon.

It is an obscenity that this woman sits in judgment over Australians while she defends the perpetrators of this atrocity. Palestinians deliberately starved of food by the Israeli govt while this taxpayer funded, multi-millionaire sits in her govt office telling us what we should think about it.

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social cc @senatorwong.bsky.social I don't want Australia to be a vassal state of the USA. Or Israel. You're supposed to be governing in Australia's best interests. Not the USA's or Israel's. Or your post-political careers. #auspol #uspoli #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

The discussion on The Sunday Shot shines a bright light onto the conflict of interest of Jillian Segal appointment to privileged position of authority and public voice. www.youtube.com/live/XTI0qck...

Frankly, Jillian Segal's report is not a serious document and the PM demeaned his office by standing next to her as she delivered it.

OPINION @keanebernard.bsky.social The #USA Australia “alliance” is effectively a dead duck with feckless, fickle, fascist, #Trump, (& his potential heirs & successors) as president. #AUKUS is a zombie. Who will hammer in the stake? Drones not nuclear subs are the future. #democracy flip.it/CNs2NG

This 👇. There is already much (justified) concern about the Antisemitism Envoy’s ‘plan’. But the real criticism should be levelled at a PM who decided that if antisemitism was the problem, Segal was the answer. #auspol

Dear @albomp.bsky.social , Max Kaiser has got it right. I am angrier than I have been for a long time after watching the delivery of the 'antisemitism' recommendations today. I could go on, and on, but he has encapsulated my feelings far better than I could. Who is running this country? #auspol

To be fair, Jillian Segal does know quite a bit about "manipulated narratives in the legacy media and social media". As George Browning's article notes, the Israel lobby groups she is connected with spend a fair bit of time engineering that manipulation. Or just monstering the ABC Board directly.

This opening part of Segal's document on the cause of the rise of antisemitism is total distortion of the truth. This from the woman who also thinks she should be in charge of monitoring Australia's media.

Sanctioning Francesca Albanese for trying to stop a holocaust, while funneling a genocidal maniac billions in weapons and diplomatic support, is some heinous evil empire shit. It's an assault on reality.

I am appalled at the treatment of Francesca Albanese. To me she is a hero. She will go down in history as a great and principled woman who stood against the greatest political forces of this world… and won.

This by @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social's Max Kaiser is absolutely on point.

The @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social has put out a very strong and well argued statement rejecting the special envoy’s antisemitism plan

The Antisemitism Envoy's Orwellian recommendations on defunding universities and media 'balance' brings to mind the latest from @ronnisalt.bsky.social: "The pro-Israel lobby isn’t designed to balance debate nor to enrich it – it is designed to silence it." #auspol theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Being against the genocide undertaken by the Israeli govt is not antisemitism. Being in favour of the genocide undertaken by the Israeli govt is not supporting Jewish people
