“It calls for Zionism to be "treated as any other form of racism," arguing that it "produces and maintains racial hierarchy, segregation and domination through law, institutions and state power."

. And just like that, all the headlines about the compromised royal (sic) family, that hideous dolt Andrew, pedo British politicians ... they are all swept off the front pages of media all over the world. What a coincidence, eh?

Whatever political compass Albanese had has gone if he thinks he can be dismissive about voter’s anger at resources companies not paying enough tax, and questioning Pocock’s sincerity in raising it as an issue

. . So the US participation in ethnic cleansing, concentration camps, and oh, by the way, genocide, in other countries doesn't count? It seems to a lot of the rest of the world that the US decided a long time ago what it wanted to be.

. Thinking back to the good old days of Trump's first term in office when we chortled about Trump being a buffoon and a dolt and that was the worst of it.

Are we there yet? Is world soccer compromised enough yet? FIFA president Gianni Infantino on display like the monkey to Trumps organ grinding at the "Board of Peace" (sic). Infantino in 2022: "Please do not allow football to be dragged into every ideological or political battle that exists."

I don’t think I’ve ever had so many people writing to me to ask about encrypted/secure/private tools for comms, collaboration, and organizing. So @lhn.bsky.social and I talked to experts and assembled this: the Wired guide to organizing in an age of surveillance. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

. Such a good article, with perfectly surmised insights like these:

#FIFA #FIFAworldcup2026 #ICC #Gaza #FreePalestine Complaint filed with the ICC 2 days ago.

. What a monumental offence that Herzog was planting olive trees in Canberra. It was vulgar in the extreme. Olive trees are profoundly important to Palestinians and connect them to their lands century upon century. The Israelis are destroying Palestinian olive trees one rampage after another.

I feel as if the moustaches are code for something. I wonder what 🤔

Ron Baumann has written a piece that nails the folly, stupidity and arrogance of bringing Herzog to Australia and the catastrophic train wreck it is. @theronbaumann.bsky.social It can be read on Ron's blog here www.ronbaumann.au/blog/albos-a...

That's quite an invitation to Herzog from Albanese/Moyston, rolling out a red carpet for him to spit all over Australians as antisemites & directly stating peaceful anti-genocide protests were the direct precursor to the Bondi attack. It seems incalculable right now the damage that's been unleashed

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

“I arrived at Sydney Town Hall to protest against the war criminal invited to Australia. I was given a lesson in how quickly our country can be transformed from a free and fair democracy to a police state. Lines of police blocked every access” #Auspol

Industries Minister Colin Brooks says Israel president Herzog is the head of state of the Australian Jewish community. Is this idiocy, illiteracy or political venality?

Albanese is a genocide apologist and supporter, and destroys our civil and human rights to protect himself. His decisions shame this country, one of the very worst ever. It’s his decisions which rip apart our social fabric. He is a shameful person not worthy of the office and should just go.

So Minns is Herzog’s valet then?

the police presence at Town Hall is unfuckingbelievable. They are deep inside the station, stopping and searching people at the top of the stairs from the platform. Absolutely off the charts I have never seen anything like it and I have protested for over 40 years.

My dear old dad is so enraged by the invitation to Herzog and Australia's complicity that he just said - 'I hope the whole world looks to Australia with disgust over this and tells us so. I've never been more ashamed of this country.' And he's an old man.

Very, very disappointed that the Governor-General Sam Moyston agreed to issue the formal invitation to Herzog to visit Australia from office of the Governor-General. She was quite entitled to decline Albanese's request to issue the invitation. And if she had, what was he going to do? Sack her? No.

Our government even ignoring and openly contradicting the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism. bsky.app/profile/mivo...

Biden was unapologetically driving and financing the genocide. Even if there were machinations to keep things from Biden for “plausible deniability”, he was never going to be deterred from his zealous participation in the genocide, no matter how far into the darkness Israel went.

somebody please organise an opportunity for that community to grieve.

As ever, the letter-writers bring the wisdom. We have a crisis of leadership at so many levels, and you only need to look at theocratic and repressive states to see that harsh, arbitrary rules and punishment do not make a society safe or harmonious.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

“Climate change and climate anxiety was the No.1 topic. The stress and helplessness people felt was real. We’re being handed a crisis we didn’t create, but we’re expected to solve it.” #FossilFuel induced #ClimateChange #Auspol

Coming soon… pressgazette.co.uk/news/former-...

Could NYT assemble a panel of genocide scholars, international law experts and Palestinians to debunk Israel’s excuses for obliterating Gaza?

We know the Sydney Harbour Bridge march against the killing in Gaza was huge – but just how big was it?
