OUTRAGEOUS lies from Peter Hartcher. In 2017 Hamas revised manifesto made distinctions by rejecting modern Zionism and Israeli state policies rather than Judaism or Jews. The fight is against the "Zionist entity" rather than all Jews.

As a member of Australia's Jewish community, I feel very unsafe that our Deputy PM: - endorses a genocide apologists' conference that conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism - sucks up to Christo-fascist US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and - binds us to secret deals with Trump's military.

The legality of the US strike on a drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean is simple: it was illegal. There is no lawful basis for extrajudicial assassination of people. Suspicion that they're committing crimes is not a valid basis. It's murder.

What's the difference between a hostage and a civilian held indefinitely by the military without charge? The fact that such glaring contradiction and hypocrisy is rarely raised is indicative of the prevalence of the colonial lense. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

I'm sure the Antisemitism Envoy will get around to condemning this racist attack, and express solidarity with First Nations people who were victims of Nazi violence. Just as soon as she gets back from the Genocide Supporters Summit on the Gold Coast. #CampSovereignty www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

I'll be honest. If I give a homeless person money, it's not my business if they spend it on drugs or alcohol. People WITH jobs and housing do the same or more to disassociate from whatever internal battle they're fighting every day. And you expect someone living ON THE ACTUAL STREET not to?

"There is little doubt that Israel’s actions are sufficient to meet the requirements for genocidal conduct" if we understand it as genocide in part - as a means to the end of #EthnicCleansing:

The ICJ has ruled countries have a legal obligation to tackle climate change. This decision backs the concerns of Pacific nations like Tuvalu that are at the forefront of the climate crisis. Will major fossil fuel exporters like Australia step up? @stephenlongaus.bsky.social #auspol

Brazil has joined South Africa’s ICJ genocide case against Israel. Says that the international community "cannot remain inactive" in the face of "ongoing atrocities". The Australian government's only activity has been to sanction a voice of humanity in parliament. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/...

On the show this week: • UK outrage as chant in Glastonbury is deemed too far, yet genocide in Gaza deemed not far enough • Mainstream media goes all-in against Dem candidate for New York mayor Zohran Mamdani • How anti-Palestinian abuse became normalised in Israel Watch ▶️ youtu.be/ZjaEjI-G4CY

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

I'm hoping to see broad condemnation of these anti-community, anti-society, anti-democraric attacks. A synagogue set alight with people inside - unconscionable!! 'Shocking acts': PM condemns synagogue attack, as police reveal new incident | SBS News share.google/r5YffV9YPt4m...

NEW: While mainstream news goes wall-to-wall on a performative Iranian attack that harmed no-one, Israeli forces have shot dead another 33 starving Palestinians queuing for food. Aid as bait, death by firing squad. Posting this here because I’m fucking sure you won’t see it elsewhere.

MEDIA RELEASE: Jewish Council condemns FM Wong’s endorsement of US military strike on Iranian nuclear targets, which threatens to escalate a dangerous regional conflict and lead to more death and suffering

We feed you. They hunt us.

Whether Israel is committing genocide isn’t even contentious anymore. The real question is: how did we ever let it get this far? Australia’s Albanese ALP government still won’t condemn Israeli atrocities on par with the Nazis. #auspol

@edhusicmp.bsky.social Hon Ed Husic MP looking forward to your next contributions here on Bluesky. I'm sure your strong, clear and honest voice will be greatly appreciated here. Ps. My Mum and Dad, 84 and 85, down in Wagga Wagga are raving about your Insiders and Q&A performances this week.

After being dropped from the frontbench in a controversial cabinet reshuffle, Labor MP Ed Husic has become the first member of his party to publicly call for the government to consider backing Palestinian statehood at an upcoming United Nations conference. #auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

"I don't think I could ever stay silent in the face of innocent civilians slaughtered in tens of thousands, starved out of Gaza." Kudos to Ed Husic for stating the truth. While Albanese, Wong and Marles have no problem remaining shamefully silent. #insiders #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

When "The Hunger Games" become the reality.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

The people that look at this and think "what a terrible political strategy" and not "damn straight, I stand against genocide too" are an alien species to my brain and I want nothing to do with them
