Our communal institutions are quick to defend the Law of Return as a sanctuary for Jews everywhere. It lets Jews around the world move to Israel – which includes settlements in the West Bank – while Palestinians driven from their homes are barred from ever returning.

We reject the false promise of security in ‘returning’ to the Jewish state, which would turn us into the footsoldiers of dispossession – and we call out the hypocrisy in denying this to Jews who diverge from dominant state policy in Israel.

The ‘big penis’ has been torn down: how Newcastle changed in 25 years since the Knights’ last NRL title

Arvidson’s song about our shared home town – and its dubious local landmarks – found its way on to local radio that year, as the Newcastle Knights were making a run towards a second NRL premiership. He got out at Civic station, walked across the lines / He saw the big penis, and said ‘where the fuck am I?’ Newcastle whoaooooh / It’s so beautiful my dear / They can bury me here Continue reading...
