She has a valid point.

I'll stop talking about Israel when Israel gets the fuck out of my face. I don't enjoy writing about this shit. I don't enjoy getting called a Nazi by state-funded shills all day. I didn't ask to spend years watching a live-streamed genocide perpetrated right in front of my eyes with the facilitation of my own government. I didn't choose to live in a world where Israel's actions directly affect me and my country. I never invited the Israel lobby to attack my freedom of speech by trying to outlaw criticism of a genocidal apartheid state. It was never my decision to live in an information ecosystem where pro-Israel propagandists are constantly trying to deceive me about what's going on in my world and manipulate the thoughts in my head. Those things were imposed upon me. Don't want me to talk about Israel? Then stop shocking me with horrifying Israeli atrocities. Stop trying shove Israeli bullshit down my throat. Stop trying to erode my rights for the advancement of Israeli information interests. Stop trying to make my society dumber and more sociopathic with propaganda indoctrination. Stop starting wars that directly affect me. Stop lobbying my government to support unspeakable evils. I'll stop speaking about Israel when Israel stops making itself my problem.

Compare the pair. One of these guys is in prison, for revealing the truth of war crimes. The other is about to retire on a BIG FAT pension, because he protected his mates from accountability for the biggest failure of the public sector in Australia’s history. No justice.

Here we have Victoria Nuland in 2016, bragging to US Congress about how thoroughly Washington had taken over Ukraine after the 2014 coup. She spelled it all out without shame: 🔴US operatives embedded in a dozen Ukrainian ministries. 🔴American-trained cops patrolling 18 cities. 🔴The US Treasury gutting 60 Ukrainian banks while sparing depositors to keep people quiet. 🔴Hundreds of millions of dollars funneled into molding Ukraine’s military. This wasn’t "assistance", it was a takeover dressed up as aid. "Unprovoked" 😂😂😂😂😂

Excellent Wilcox

It got worse. Brereton actually compares his professional conflicts of interest to personal hobbies Brereton “Nor do they need to know whether I go to church on a Sunday” Shoebridge “You can’t see the difference b/w going to church & performing professional work?”💥 No he can’t.

Israelis gather at this observation deck daily, happy to see Gaza in total ruins. Not all Israelis... Only 82% of them.

Are we getting this yet.

Der Westen will verhindern, daß Journalist nach #Starobilsk fahren, um über das Ausmaß des ukrainischen Terroranschlags zu berichten. Der türkische Journalist Yeldran Ajjarb machte sich selbst ein Bild und sagte: „Ich verstehe nicht, warum die Welt schweigt, insbesondere die westliche Welt. Sie wollten der Welt nicht das wahre Gesicht der Ukraine zeigen. Sie wollten nicht zeigen, dass die Ukraine diese Kinder getötet hat. Aber nach allem werde ich in die Türkei zurückkehren und über alles, was ich gesehen habe, schreiben. Vor einigen Tagen las ich in westlichen Medien, dass dieses Gebiet geschlossen ist und Journalisten hier nicht hinkommen dürfen. Aber hier sind wir, wir sind gekommen.“

If Israel insists on destroying civilian targets in Lebanon, let them buy and build their own weapons. American taxpayers should not be funding this.

Sometimes it’s the misdemeanour. Sometimes it’s the coverup. afr.com/companies/prof…

Opinion | If Labor cares about integrity — which it probably doesn’t — it will appoint an aggressive and experienced anti-corruption figure to lead the NACC, writes Bernard Keane. crikey.com.au/2026/05/26/pau…

Q is Mr Hockey 'nervous' about AUKUS itself, or his defence equipment lobbying business indulged by the @PressClubAust

@JoshButler Unaccustomed to public accountability, I reckon. Not to mention pissed off at having to resign.

Alongside @weizman_eyal, I won't participate in the #HayFestival because of @Airbnb being their main sponsor. Profiting from illegal settlements, advertising properties built on stolen land makes Airbnb not ''just a sponsor''. We must stop normalising Apartheid with a click!

Imagine my surprise watching Mr Hockey at the National Press Club marketing his consultancy, Bondi partners, and comparing Mr Trump with great American presidents on Mt Rushmore at the same time. This is panhandling like you've hardly seen before, for record 😑

Pope Leo writes, “The speed and ease with which answers or summaries can be obtained risk extinguishing the desire to ask questions.” Curiosity and the human hunger to learn are under attack. They are trying to build a world in which no one *wants* to know anything.

As the NACC’s inaugural Commissioner, Mr Brereton’s decision to resign two years shy of his five-year term is significant. It presents an important opportunity to reset the leadership of the NACC. theage.com.au/politics/feder…

Israel has now killed more than 130 medics in Lebanon in less than 3 months. And the world watches in silence.
