Is this a pigeon? (Japanese: これは鳩ですか?, Hepburn: Kore wa hato desu ka?) is an Internet meme and quote of the protagonist from the 1990s Japanese anime television series The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird. The image originates from a scene where the character mistakenly identifies a butterfly as a pigeon

This version features the character with Victorian Labor above its head and a title IS THIS OUR MAMDANI? and Ben Carroll is the butterfly (no he’s not a progressive socialist - he’s a lite Liberal)

The Age publishing Herzog’s slander against anti-war protesters, who had nothing to do with the Bondi terror attack by psychotic murderers. Pro-Palestine, anti-genocide protesters have been peaceful in calling for Israel to end their apartheid ethnostate as well as the genocide in Gaza. #AusPol

We warned of surging antisemitism before Bondi attack, says Israeli president

Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Bondi, where he paid tribute to those killed and injured during the December 14 massacre.
At the start of his Australian visit, Isaac Herzog accused pro-Palestinian protesters of seeking to undermine Israel’s right to exist.

Weird. No mention in the article of “genocide,” “ethnic cleaning,” or “apartheid” to explain; “The human rights obligations of belligerent occupiers: Israel and the Gazan population” (academic.oup.com/jcsl/article...) or how Israel is being investigated by the ICJ on accusations of genocide.

Remember Keshia Thomas who did the exact same thing in 1996. She was at a protest in Michigan against the KKK, and ended up bodily protecting one of the white supremacists when he found himself in the counter-protest. Jake Lang was similarly saved. medium.com/timeline/kes...

I know I shouldn’t be. But I am continually shocked at how much Eve Barlow has become (or always been?) a handmaiden for fascism. But I guess that’s the Zionist pipeline for you.

Brave of me, I know 😌
This painting is part of Norman Rockwell’s series on the Four Freedoms as laid out by President Franklin Roosevelt during his presidency. The other three are freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want, all of which FDR said should be universal. This one represents freedom of speech. The meme is to include added text that’s sarcastically “brave” - in this case: Heated Rivalry is just okay. Like … it’s fine.

Headline now changed but possibly too late. Now reads: “Australians want tougher visa screening, almost half in favour of royal commission” But I just heard the previous wild interpretation of the data quoted in a radio news segment 🤦‍♀️

Despite that very misleading headline; “There is weaker support for a royal commission and a crackdown on protests … but the polling still shows more people are in favour of those measures than not.” Love to know if the pollster called them “pro-Palestine” or “anti-genocide” protests too. #AusPol
Majority support royal commission into antisemitism, banning pro-Palestine marches
In an exclusive poll, 48 per cent of voters said they would back a royal commission into antisemitism in the aftermath of the Bondi terror attack.
A strong majority want tougher visa laws, and almost half say they would back a royal commission into antisemitism, exclusive polling has found“There is weaker support for a royal commission and a crackdown on protests – which have been hotly debated at the federal and state levels in the days since the attack – but the polling still shows more people are in favour of those measures than not.”

People peeved at the Lord Byron quote at the end of Frankenstein, instead of something written by Mary Shelley … Look - the two are just inexorably linked. That in itself is such a profound commentary to mirror the story! Even ‘Byron: a Life in Letters’ begins with a Mary Shelley epigraph!
“The Lord Byron I find there is our Lord Byron – the fascinating – faulty – childish – philosophical – being – daring the world – docile to a private circle – impetuous and indolent – gloomy and yet more gay than any other – I live with him again in these pages”

Checking in on the worst Zionists who’ve been pumping out hysterical Islamophobia in the lead up to the NYC mayoral race for *months* and fear-mongering around voting Mamdani. The post-win cope is sublime (and by that I mean deeply disturbed and racist) Jtilch and Eve Fartlow …
Jordyn Tilchen “Jtilch” posts cutest Zionist Instagram tiles. This one features Muslim man Mamdani with an uncharacteristic frown and the words: the city that never sleeps just woke up on the wrong side of history 

Sure babe 🎻 tiniest violin for you Eve Barlow (Fartlow) on X: Jews of New York, take a leaf out of the pages of the Jews of London. Protect your buildings. Safeguard your schools. Train your own security teams. Organize your own grassroots campaigns. This is serious and it’s time you learn from your scrappier cousins.Jtilch with more Instagram cope: if you voted for Mamdani today, congratulations you chose performative politics over people 

You picked a socialist pro-Hamas antisemite over a mainstream Democrat and threw your Jewish friends under the same “free” buses Mamdani promised but will never deliver 

He’s a con man. You fell for it. 
Embarrassing doesn’t even begin to cover it 

(Babes here fails to say Mamdani was formally endorsed by Rabbi Moshe Indig of the Satmar Hasidic community, while Cuomo - the “mainstream Democrat” - is credibly accused of sexual harassment by 13 women and was endorsed by Republican and rapist in the Epstein files, Donald Trump)Eve Fartlow on X: “If you don't already see it, this is what the war in Gaza was about”

If this Tweet was a cat I’d say “oh that’s a big stretch”

Google “Global Sumud Flotilla” and it’s all sponsored posts “exposing” the “truth” behind funding the Flotilla. But it’s all Hasbara bullshit planted by Israel to paint these peace-activists as terrorists. This is Israel’s strategy now - probably to commit more atrocities against civilians.
