Today, in an extensive cross examination of an eminent professor expert in violent extremism in Australia there was not one mention of antizionism or the Palestinian solidarity movement. Why could that be I wonder? #Antizionism #Anti-zionism #Antisemitism #Royalcommission

The Institutional Silencing of the Palestine Solidarity Movement
Join us on Friday, August 21st at 6:30pm in the State Library Theatre for a public meeting discussing the institutional attempts to silence our movement. Purchase Tickets Here Hear in person from guest speakers: Yasmine Johnson (Students for Palestine) Gwen Velge (Academics for Palestine) Lama Al Ramahi (Australian Healthcare Alliance for Palestine). For months, the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion has heard witnesses — almost invariably supporters of Israel — who have downplayed the scale of death in Gaza, suggested that Palestinian flags, keffiyehs and even Arabic script constitute antisemitism, and repeatedly blurred distinctions between Jewish identity, political Zionism and the actions of the Israeli state.

No doubt Police also failed to warn the Muslim community that they’d approved a racist protest in front of Parliament House but who cares, right?

Much easier to scapegoat migrants than question policies designed to make the rich richer.
Ebony Bennett@ebonybennett.bsky.social · yesterday"The people who spent years blaming migrants [for rising house prices] should now have to explain why their theory no longer fits the facts.

Australia's biggest ocean protection opportunity in 10 years - Save Our Marine Life
The Australian Government has listened to island communities, and just announced plans to massively expand marine sanctuary protection around the stunning Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. But before it becomes a reality, the government wants to hear from YOU on the proposed expansions, AND on what other improvements are needed across Australia’s offshore marine parks. […]

In a break from the usual loud protests, Friends of Palestine WA asked people to walk silently, wearing black clothing or a black armband, and holding placards made up with the images of individual children killed by Israel. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1459/ne...

Wonder what Albo’s Voice to Parliament would be voicing to him about AUKUS right now. And how would Albo be telling them to stay in their lane without sounding like an utter cvnt?
The Palestinian-led BDS movement calls for pressure on governments and hospitals around the world to refuse ties with Palantir, a company complicit in Israel's genocide, occupation and apartheid against Palestinians. Together, we can purge Palantir.

Presumably Segal doesn’t want stories about the “amazing” Israeli tech start up culture that develops AI driven targeting lists so humans don’t have to oversee who they are murdering, or any of the other horrific dystopian surveillance shit that the “amazing” Israeli tech startup culture produces?
Ette Media@ettemedia.bsky.social · 3w agoJillian Segal, the Australian antisemitism envoy, has criticised the ABC’s reporting on Israel. During the hearings at the Royal Commission into Antisemitism, Segal argued the public broadcaster doesn’t produce enough positive stories on Israel and could report more on its start-up culture.
No, Israel does not have ‘a right to exist.’ Quite the contrary #palestine #israelpalestinenews
No, Israel does not have ‘a right to exist.’ Quite the contrary
Given Israel’s propensity for violating such laws, it’s no surprise they’re still claiming a right that has no basis in reality.
