BREAKING Australia’s politician Penny Allman-Payne: “Our government is thrilled to pose with Iranian female soccer players…” “And yet, you’re quite happy watching the US and Israel drop bombs on schools and kill schoolgirls.” “Your hypocrisy and doublespeak knows no bounds.”

BREAKING: Israel just dropped bombs on a medical center in Zawtar, southern Lebanon. From Lebanon to Gaza to Iran, Israel deliberately targets hospitals and health facilities — murdering doctors and medical workers. A war crime. A crime against humanity.

Moral double vision as Australia heads to the Gulf 'Suddenly we can send aircraft.Suddenly, we can send missiles.Suddenly, we can speak in the language of security and moral clarity. And suddenly the Middle East is not so far away after all. Because for the past year, Australians were told something very different. When Gaza was being destroyed, the message from Canberra was that Australia is merely a “middle power.” The conflict was distant. Complex. Beyond our ability to influence.There was little we could do.' 'The government hid behind diplomatic language. The opposition, particularly the louder voices inside the Liberal and National parties, went further. They condemned protests, dismissed criticism of Israel as extremist and opposed humanitarian pathways for Palestinians fleeing the destruction. In some cases, the rhetoric became openly hostile. Palestinian suffering was treated as a political inconvenience rather than a humanitarian catastrophe. And much of the media followed suit. Coverage of Gaza was often framed through the language of “complexity” and “balance.” Israeli security concerns were explored in depth, while Palestinian deaths were frequently reduced to statistics buried deep in reports. Calls for sanctions or stronger diplomatic pressure were portrayed as radical or irresponsible. Restraint became the narrative.' 'When Iranian repression or attacks on Gulf states dominate the headlines, the language of moral clarity suddenly returns. Victims are humanised. Outrage is expressed. The responsibility of democratic nations to respond is emphasised. But when Palestinian civilians were buried beneath rubble, when hospitals collapsed and children starved, the dominant tone was caution. One conflict is analysed with restraint. The other with urgency.Together, the political class and large parts of the media construct a quiet hierarchy of suffering. Some lives command outrage. Others barely command attention.' michaelwest.com.au/moral-double-v…

The govt is making a big deal about giving temporary humanitarian visas to a small number of female Iranian soccer players. At the same time, the XBENCH is trying to block the govt passing legislation to enable it to suspend the temporary visas to Australia already held by more than 7000 Iranians outside this country.

We have identified at least 5 Australian charities funnelling $ to IDF and stolen land settlements. Massive fraud on public. Govt has so far refused to act

Australian Senator Penny Allman-Payne is going viral around the world for saying: "Our government is thrilled to pose with Iranian female soccer players, yet are happy to watch the US and Israel drop bombs on schoolgirls.”

@PeterHo08321766 @MaryKostakidis Any you are a propagandist for a terrorist state

@MaryKostakidis THE VILE AND VICIOUS CAMPAIGN AGAINST FRANCESCA ALBANESE FOR NOT BOWING TO ISRAELI DEMANDS BRINGS ONLY SHAME TO THE EU AND IT'S COWARDLY POLITICAL LEADERS. THE EU UNDER VONDERLEYEN AND KALLAS HAS NO APPETITE TO CONFRONT THE USA AND ISR@HELL OVER IT'S GENOCIDAL CAMPAIGN IN GAZA !

All of a sudden it seems momentum is building to remove the most important voice advocating for justice for the Palestinian people, in the world. They are an utter cowardly disgrace. It seems the truth just does not suit powerful interests.

@MaryKostakidis They trying to distract from the Epstein files. Zionists are going after Francesca Albanese simply because she speaks truth to power.

A 69 year old Australian woman’s back was broken so that foreign Israeli terrorist Herzog can feel “safe “, you know, for social cohesion. Whoever defends this is scum .

Footage from the Sydney protest against the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog shows NSW police officers repeatedly assaulting peaceful protesters, with scenes of punching, shoving and forcing people to the ground as officers surge through the crowd. The video documents police charging at peaceful protesters on multiple occasions, knocking people over, dragging them across the pavement and pepper spraying protesters who were standing still and posing no threat. In one sequence, two officers punch a man multiple times while he is pinned on the ground, as others sit on him to restrain his body. These violent images are played alongside comments from NSW Premier Chris Minns, who insists police “did everything possible to avoid a confrontation”, creating a stark and damning contrast between official claims and what the footage actually shows. As Minns praises police conduct and denies provocation, the visuals show officers actively escalating the situation, using force and chemical spray against unarmed demonstrators, exposing what critics say is a blatant attempt to rewrite events and shield police brutality. Minns, who has spent the last few weeks echoing Zionist talking points, is accused by critics of being under the influence of Israel, a foreign government.

"He can scrub his hands all he wants, he will not get the blood out.... this has happened because the Premier has created this environment." Timothy Roberts from the NSW Council of Civil Liberties blames @ChrisMinnsMP for the violence at the Sydney protests. #HerzogVisit

These cops should be sacked. No excuse for this continued beating of someone already restrained #auspol

There is no coming back from this. An Australian Premier who elevates a genocidal President above the people he represents has crossed a line should end his time in office.

Tonight proved that the biggest threat to public safety at peaceful protests in Sydney was the NSW Police & the extreme anti-protest laws of the NSW Parliament smh.com.au/national/nsw/c…

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command". George Orwell, 1984. That's where we are at

We will have social cohesion…if we have to beat it into you… x.com/Baumann_Mac/st…

Labor leadership defending decisions to limit democratic protest and invite the head of a foreign state committing genocide to Australia. The police violence in Sydney was disgusting. What has happened to my party? Why are they defending genocide and police violence?

BREAKING: 🚨 SCENES FROM IRAN They obviously need REGIME CHANGE Whoops, actually, that’s AUSTRALIA defending lsraeI’s right to kiII children, nevermind 🤡

“If political protests should only be allowed or prohibited by politicians, then whether or not the public is allowed to criticise politicians is in the hands of the very people they are seeking to criticise.” – Alice Grundy Read more on The Point: theaus.in/4apipzA
