"I am taking part in the sporting boycott of Israel… I am doing this because Israel is committing genocide in Gaza." Australian women's chess champion Heather Richards' boycott is reported overseas. But apart from indies like @index.lamestream.com.au.ap.brid.gy , gets little attention at home.

"In the eyes of the state, a 94-year-old human rights lawyer is a dangerous terrorist supporter." This is precisely where Australia is headed if the PM's Special Envoy for the Israel Lobby* Jillian Segal continues to guide domestic policy. [*not her official job title, but the reality.] #auspol

Australia says a settlement trade ban could hurt Palestinians. The Palestinian Authority wants one
Australia declined to join 12 countries backing action on trade with illegal West Bank settlements, citing concerns about Palestinian livelihoods. The Palestinian Authority supports the restrictions – and Australia’s past approach to apartheid South Africa offers a pointed historical comparison.
