On 1 April 2024, Ms Zomi Frankcom, an Australian national, was murdered by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Gaza while supporting a World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid delivery. And now Anthony Albanese has invited the president of Israel to Australia Apparently all is forgiven

Masked ICE thugs pump 10 rounds into an ICU nurse trying to protect a woman from being brutalised. American corporate media dutifully broadcasts government lies about the obvious murder. It is time Australia ended its alliance with America. It is not acceptable to be allied to fascism #auspol

Be sure to attend your local invasion day event tomorrow. Always was, always will be Wadandi Boodja.

It is staggering how the two non-Jewish Australians murdered that day never get mentioned. They keep trying to insist on a “national” day of mourning, on tying this to Australian identity, while simultaneously making it explicitly about Israel—trying to use it to ban protests, and suppress dissent.

Inexplicably inviting the war criminal Israeli president to visit, establishing a gross hierarchy of care and grief never mentioning the two non-Jewish Australians killed or indeed how many of the wounded weren’t either, like Ahmed al-Ahmed, the Muslim man who disarmed one of the shooters & was shot

Far from having a national day of mourning, what this event and this rhetoric symbolised was a national day of appeasement to Zionists. You can’t “reclaim” what was never yours, and was never taken from you. You are settler colonists here and there.

The names of the two non-Jewish Australians who were killed: Adam Smyth and Peter Meagher. They deserve to be remembered, too, and not as an after thought. The reckless politicisation of this terrorist act and conflation with Israel’s genocide has in fact prevented unity and promoted division.

“I will not have my humanity interrogated by people who have no humanity.”

“By allowing Herzog to enter Australia without an AFP investigation…, the Australian Government is not only showing a blatant disregard for its international legal obligations but also its own domestic law, as these are offences against the Commonwealth of Australia” acij.org.au/media-releas...

Nationals day of mourning has been enacted

Imagine your country gets invaded, your people are subjected to a rolling genocide for 180 years before the colonists even let you vote, 240 years later your Voice to parliament is rejected, then the first racial hatred legislation introduced by the colonial government isn’t even about you.

Labor famously prepared the ground for Neoliberalism in Australia, ushering in free market economic policies that the Liberal Party then turbocharged to wreak havoc. So will it be for Fascism, but with exponentially more dire consequences. Thanks again for nothing Labor, you dangerous sops.

Shared with great respect to Randa Abdel-Fattah who has been through so much the past week, including being potentially defamed by the SA Premier. May our cultural and arts institutions develop an ounce of the courage shown by writers like Abdel-Fattah.

We held a little solidarity event in a Margaret River park yesterday where we honoured Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. We did so under the watchful eye of “state police”. Three plain clothed but visibly armed officers made the 7 hour round trip from Perth to observe our adherence to the permit conditions.

If you missed this piece yesterday, it’s absolutely worth your time.

Some very well articulated truth telling, if only those in power would read it *sigh*

I found submissions 3, 4 and 8 useful www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

Worth keeping in mind. #Iran

"My community’s security will not be possible at the expense of others. That is not safety. It is scapegoating."

Best of 2025 #Gaza is not just a battlefield. It is the living proof of a people resisting a century-long attempt to erase them, showing that Zionist colonialism is not a coincidence, but a systematic project refined over more than a hundred years. #auspol #Israel #Palestine

I wonder which social institution will sacrifice itself on the altar of covering up an ongoing genocide next?

Thanks to all the writers who had the moral conviction to pull out. Those that didn’t can GAGF’d.

Thanks to Keven Rudd for initiating the petition for a Royal Commission into Murdoch media. Shame over 500,000 Australian signatures couldn't get one! www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11...

Incredible interview with Sama’ Abdulhadi on RA Exchange. Inspiring woman. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ6q... #womad

This debacle is getting worse, not better. The ABC has just confirmed that the Chair of the board, Tracy Whiting, has also stepped down, meaning half the board is now gone and there isn’t enough remaining to form a quorum. What a total disgrace.

"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...

Amazing nobody saw this sort of thing coming based on the last seven times an arts event pulled this sort of nonsense

Trent Dalton has joined dozens of prominent writers in withdrawing from Adelaide Writers’ Week after the Adelaide Festival board removed Palestinian-Australian writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah from the line-up. #culture #books

Seething clarity from Omar Sakr. Read the substack article.

There is no possible culture worth shit if it capitulates to any form of fascism, be it Nazism or Zionism. We need to build new cultural institutions.

Statement: Jewish Council Condemns Adelaide Festival Removal of Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah

Globalise the enchilada!

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

If you've not seen this, the Jewish Council (not the Zionist AHs) are fed up with the weaponization of the Bondi tragedy jewishcouncil.good.do/unity/jewish...

Don’t care much for cricket but loved Usman Khawaja. A rare man a of principle in the sea of wilfully ignorant bogan boys club racism that is corporatised professional sport. All the best mate. #alllivesareequal

The Australian government is hosting Israel’s President Herzog - the head of a state that is currently on trial for genocide, who has been photographed autographing bombs that almost certainly killed innocent people in Gaza - and we’re all going to stay home and watch the tennis right?

People that are OK with murdering babies after starving them and freezing them for 3 years while they run around in a concentration kill box and try to escape bombs falling from the sky while under siege from troops on the ground. Civilians. No army. Little babies, mums, dads. Dismantle Zionism.

How in the goddamn flying fuck do we live in a country where the murders of 15 people from one racial/religious group ONCE requires both a Royal Commission AND the deployment of the army but the murders of 80 women EVERY YEAR since time immemorial fucking doesn’t?? #NewsCorpse

Rather than recognising and calling out the continuing #genocide, Australia is #ComplicitinGenocide. Albanese, further weaponising #antisemitism, even invites Israel President Herzog here! End the bigotry and denial. #StoptheGenocide #auspol www.change.org/p/reverse-de...

Dr Assal Rad— "Israel systematically killed Palestinian journalists and their family members to suppress coverage of Gaza. "Imagine the coverage if it was Russia. But when it’s Israel, a story like this generates zero headlines in Western media."

Watching the Boxing Day Test, From Little Things Big Things Grow is being repeated on an ad for something. Eventually I pay enough attention to said ad to register what it’s for - Twiggy Forrest owned R.M. Williams. A piece of me dies. Paul Kelly, what price your soul?

Beautiful words from councillor Ahmed Ouf. Fucking insanity from the SMH.

Stop Picking On Poor Little Israel There was a mass shooting in Australia so now everyone needs to shut up and do whatever Israel wants. Israel feels sad about the shooting so now it gets to do a bit more genocide, as a treat. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/stop-picki...

Sanity prevails. Thank you Bob Vylan for so courageously highlighting the Israel Defence Force as the depraved murder machine that it is. www.bbc.com/news/article...
