KMH is *SUCH* a talent! What a voice!!

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

SBS provided a statement after 600 protestors rallied against Australia's Eurovision participation.

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Today we are told that the 🍉 symbol is antisemitic Remember when Musk’s heil was described as clumsy? Nazi salute? Not antisemitic Fruit? Antisemitic The inanity of this would be funny if it weren’t so incredibly dangerous. As a Jew, this devaluing of real antisemitism scares the shit out of me.
