Let’s hope that the current government does not yield to this massive over reach . Even if you are so blinkered as to be only concerned with Jewish issues, exceptionalising Jews will foster antisemitism rather than defeat it .

Exactly right. Time to stop giving the benefit of the doubt to people clearly operating in bad faith. They’re segregationists. We should call them segregationists.

How many Australians have been fired now for opposing genocide in Palestine? These high profile cases are just the iceberg.

My 2025 self thinks my 2019 self would think my ‘25 self is nuts. I can’t blame my old me. New me knows that risks are relative and my old me was privileged and didn’t need to think new me thoughts. New me knows an old me that failed to evolve would be a dead me. Now or soon. Just like old yous.

A valuable article on a philosophy of ethics for our age of crisis, based on the work of Simone Weil. "We consent to reality in all of its necessity and suffering, but we do not consent to accepting it fatalistically."
