I read, read, read. I grieve my son, Ed. I love my Kelpie, Kip. I loathe fascism. Wooyung is my happy place. I probably drink a little too much Shiraz, and I like to get my hands dirty.

Biggest march I've ever experienced. Surprised if it was <200k. Orderly, patient, superfriendly, multicultural, all ages. Chris Minns badly misjudged this in his opposition #FreePalistine. Saw not 1 medical emergency, fall, fight.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

Looks like at least some of the British media has realized that you can't both-sides a genocide. But meanwhile, almost all Australian legacy media continues to routinely sanitize Israeli war crimes. #StopIsrael #GazaGenocide

This opening part of Segal's document on the cause of the rise of antisemitism is total distortion of the truth. This from the woman who also thinks she should be in charge of monitoring Australia's media.
However, since 7 October 2023, antisemitism has risen to deeply troubling levels in Australia. This has been driven by conflict in the Middle East, manipulated narratives in the legacy media and social media and the spread of extremist ideologies.

🚨BREAKING: In a major escalation, Iran’s parliament approved closing the Strait of Hormuz, according to state TV. That decision will likely require approval from Iran’s top security body, the Supreme National Security Council. About 20% of global oil consumption passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.
