The US just can’t decide, should it commit mass murder in Iran or not? @albomp.bsky.social tells us we share values with the US. Do you have trouble deciding if mass murder is a good idea or not? What are your values @australianlabor.bsky.social? How dare you ally us with this? #AusPol

www.outinperth.com/roger-cook-s... In my opinion, labour moved too far from its roots, and from democratic socialist ideals. State and federally it has moved to the right. Aping one nation & LNP policies will not build a better or fairer Australia. LOOK TO MAMDANI instead. Lessons to learn.

It seems unprecedented that any foreign military be allowed to form a team to run in an Australian marathon. Australia doesn't do military parades. Tony Burke needs to explain to the Australian people why he granted visas to allow the IDF to run through city streets in the Sydney Marathon. #auspol

"‘Detached from reality’: Judge slams Segal’s test for antisemitism" Australian Financial Review. Some common sense in my state of New South Wales at last. And the judge slammed Jillian Segal as well in his ruling. "Israel is a country. NOT A GLOBAL FAITH". www.afr.com/politics/det...
A ruling from the Supreme Court of New South Wales in Australia has drawn attention to an important distinction: opposition to Zionism or criticism of the Israeli government is not automatically the same thing as antisemitism.

That distinction matters because Israel is a state, while Jewish people are a global religious and ethnic community. Criticizing the policies, actions, or ideology of a government does not necessarily mean attacking an entire faith or its people.

Supporters of the ruling argue that political criticism should not be automatically treated as religious hatred simply because Israel identifies itself as a Jewish state. A government can be challenged, protested, or condemned just like any other government in the world.

The broader point is simple: Israel represents the state of Israel and its government. It does not speak for every Jewish person around the world.

Conflating criticism of Israel with hatred toward Jewish people can blur an important line between political debate and genuine antisemitism.
