Day two of Jillian Segal - the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism in Australia - being silent on the actions of a political cult that executed the Holocaust, protesting in the streets of Australia and attacking First Nations people. Apparently first they came for mob, but I was very busy.
Welcome to the land of the free.
It's not a 'clash' if it's neo-Nazis storming a group of people - it is an attack. Also, it's always ok to punch a Nazi. Hope that helps.
Genocide Julian? Julian is “incandescent with rage” because he believes we should condone genocide. Australians can discern the difference between Australian Jews and Israel, we don’t need Julian to oversee us. #AusPol
It's 5 years since the best thing I've ever written and will ever write aired on Mad As Hell
Here's a brief snip from a friendly chat I had with a mining lobbyist in parliament house 😁 (they really shouldn't just give these lobbying passes to just anyone you know 😂 )
Every single publicised arson attack on a synagogue has now been linked to criminal gangs and/or Iran. You’d imagine this would be front page news, considering how the media has sought to blame pro-Palestine protestors for two years. But it’s nowhere. www.lamestream.com.au/the-media-bl...
Imagine if our authorities showed such tenacity pursuing the ones who DID the corruption. Lol hello NACC u still there?

Australian turfs Iranian ambassador.....yet fails to punt the Israeli ambassador.
It was not a mishap nor a mistake, @abcnews @ABCaustralia. You know it. @MattDoran91 knows it. And I know it. Fuck you all to Hell and back for your complicity in this genocide and for consistently whitewashing this genocide. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust
No. At this point, you don't get to claim "mishap".
I hope the people of Gaza somehow know so many people are thinking of them and trying to influence change. I can't believe the world's governments are letting another genocide go on. And all those ex-Ministers in weapons industry jobs: if there's a hell, you're going.
The journalists and politicians pretending that right now is somehow different to every single moment since late 2023 make me sick to my stomach. They are all complicit and none of us should ever forgive them.

Exactly. 🕊️
I note with great interest, the usual Zionist loud-mouths and scarf counters, who rush to ignite hysteria about anything they fantasise is antisemitic, are strangely silent on actual Nazi-sympathisers marching through the streets of our major cities. Where is Jillian and her reporting book? 🤔

When are our media & arts institutions going to grow a back bone and not be spooked by lobbyist letters making vexatious and defamatory claims. Have we learned nothing ? Are these institutions more concerned about cranky letter writers than war crimes they seek to distract from?

Big story from us: How the media manufactured Hamas’ praise of Anthony Albanese www.lamestream.com.au/did-hamas-re...
What’s the charge? Assault with a sandwich? A succulent, footlong sandwich?
Hassan Yousef is a prisoner of Israel & has been held captive by them since Oct 2023. How did Matthew Knott manage to communicate with a prisoner inside an Israeli prison? 🤔 Who initated the idea? Who organised it? And how was this alleged statement obtained from the prisoner? By what means?
The first policy pronouncement of the Coalition was to ‘un-recognise’ Palestine when in government (at best six years away) and to run around claiming Hamas is celebrating Albanese. And this completely irrelevant intervention has been taken seriously by media www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...
Ley's choice in who to recognise became difficult, however, once the group behind the October 7 attacks changed its name to Hamass. theshovel.com.au/2025/08/14/s...

It's amazing how so many thousands and thousands of Palestinians "are Hamas" according to Israel - young children, teenagers, doctors, journalists, pet donkeys, all Hamas - and yet Israel can't seem to extinguish the omniscient Hamas It's almost as if what Israel claims isn't actually true
Always remember. The media will not save us. They don’t even think it is their job to do so.
Instead of honouring our brave Palestinian journalist colleagues including Al Jazeera’s Anas Al-Sharif killed in Gaza, much of the media repeated - nay led - with the Israeli line that they were “terrorists” despite a complete lack of evidence. We pull apart this tired narrative
Killing journalists. My @smh cartoon.
Liberals claimed they will change in response to electoral wipe out, yet there is no sign they actually do plan to be any different to the fear mongering, culture warring party which was established to serve elite by undermining the Labor Party. My analysis: independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...
To arm Israel now, demonstrates neither friendship toward the state nor concern for its fate. Supplying weapons to the aggressor in an illegitimate war that should've ended Long ago, and whose aims are now futile & criminal is to be complicit in a crime - Gideon Levy johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...
'Israel Says' is not journalism @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
Many of us have been justifiably critical of the mainstream media coverage of the #GazaGenocide. But there are some journalists doing great work with integrity and humanity. Shout out to Nicole Johnston, who used to be with the ABC, and has much experience living and working in the Middle East.
Israel murdered five al-Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif. They did so because they're now liquidating Gaza City, and want to silence the remaining witnesses. To Western journalists silent about the slaughter of your colleagues: Their blood is on your hands, too.

It's a post-truth world. Our media outlets and governments swallow Israeli lies whole, so it's natural that they consider human rights advocates as dangerous terrorists. #GazaGenocide
Quite honestly, f*ck unity on this.
Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan. And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.
Glad to hear AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw is resigning. He spent a career covering things up & was too weak to hold any1 powerful to account. Just type his name in my twitter page search if you want to see the shit job he’s been doing (sorry BlueSky friends). Wishing the new Commissioner the best

We should re-conceptualise what "bipartisan support" means in Australia. It does not mean "sensible compromise reaching across the political aisle", if it ever did. Today, it typically means "the establishment has united to fuck the rest of us".
