@_Jase_C_ @aus_pill The frightening part of this is that no one is saying he’s innocent, they just don’t care that he murdered people.

@aus_pill A heroic man who murdered civilians for fun... Who had 21 of his military mates make statements against him. Those 21 are the heroes..... He's just a murderer

The replies to this make it clear that the prosecution of Ben Roberts-Smith is for many not about justice but driven by ressentiment. They only care about tearing down a heroic White man.

@GodandCountryy He bombed a school and killed 165 schoolgirls.

Janet reckons I’m a freeloader because I’m a retired electrician. She came to this conclusion because I hate Israel and Zionism. It’s better than being a crap painter and being all pretentious about it.

@thomas_je43740 @DrDavidAdler1 Thanks

SO SAD... GRACE TAME FOUNDATION TO CLOSE Perhaps calling for the mass murder of Jews by repeatedly screeching "globalise the intifada" has discouraged donors. Maybe inciting jihadist terrorism in Australia is not widely supported. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-0…

@misosoop511 @SocialistMMA I acknowledge the ambiguity of my reply , so to put it more clearly, almost every country recognise Taiwan as being part of One China.

@Zenandy1962 @SocialistMMA Big difference between "acknowledged" and "recognized." Almost every country does not recognize the One China policy where it matters.

I’ve said for years now that China would reunify with Taiwan without firing a bullet This is a massive geopolitical defeat for the United States Trump collecting L after L

@AltMediaWatch @SerkanTheWriter @NovaPeris @HockeyAustralia It sounds like she gets her kicks from loving murderers. She’s a horrible racist.

Former Olympian @NovaPeris stands with alleged war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith who is accused of 5 counts of war crime murder. Hey @HockeyAustralia is this what your organisation stands for?

@misosoop511 @SocialistMMA It’s acknowledged by almost every country to be part of One China.

@SocialistMMA China is too chicken shit to do that. Which is the reason why Taiwan has been free for 76 years.

@RobertJenrick A lot of people on UC already have jobs but don’t get paid enough. Why deny them the opportunity of a nice day out. You’re a fucking wanker .

Many of these museums - like London Zoo - are public institutions. Their management shouldn’t be charging working people more, to give discounts to those on benefits. And the prices they charge are already ridiculously high for most families. They should be finding ways to cut the cost for everyone.

No. Working people are being taken for a ride. Under a Reform UK government you won’t be able to use benefits to get discounts like this.

Retweet if you believe Netanyahu is a war criminal.

This sexy bitch was waiting for J.D. Vance in his hotel room in Budapest

@nate_nugent Imagine writing all that and it being shit.

The tweet you posted regarding the photographed beheading of uniformed Australian POW Leonard Siffleet (a clear war crime in symmetrical interstate war with clear visual evidence) with Ben Roberts-Smith’s alleged 2012 kicking and shooting of handcuffed Afghan farmer Ali Jan during asymmetrical SAS counter-insurgency operations is a false equivalency. Key mismatches are conflict type (conventional front-line capture vs blurred combatant lines in guerrilla raids), evidence quality (immediate photo vs contested years-later SAS eyewitness accounts) and scrutiny (historical atrocity vs Federal Court findings on civil “balance of probabilities” per the Brereton Inquiry). The core legal rule of no killing persons under control remains identical, but the direct analogy ignores these operational and evidentiary aspects. Then there’s other logical fallacies- The tweet misrepresents the position of BRS defenders as “argue BRS should not be tried” because they believe killing handcuffed detainees is acceptable and would therefore “stand with” a Japanese war criminal. This is a classic straw man: attacking a weaker, distorted version of the opposing view instead of engaging the actual claims about evidence and context. BRS’s case has always centred around denying the assertions and challenging the credibility of SAS eyewitnesses, not on arguing that summary execution of detainees is lawful. Understandably, Appeal to Emotion accompanied with a loaded question. The trigger warning plus the beheading photo is designed to generate outrage and moral revulsion, then it’s immediately used to equate it with the BRS situation. The rhetorical question “Would those who argue BRS should not be tried have said, ‘I stand with Yasuno Chikao’?” is a loaded question that presumes the answer and forces a false moral binary. It’s a play on emotion rather than inviting examination of the specific evidence, rules of engagement, or differing standards of proof between a documented war crime and modern special-forces allegations decades later. The False Dichotomy argument presents only two choices: support criminal trial of BRS and reject the Japanese officer or oppose trial and therefore stand with a proven war criminal. This ignores other legitimate positions, such as: Believing the allegations require full criminal proof beyond reasonable doubt, not just the civil “balance of probabilities” standard used in the defamation case. Supporting due process but believing the eyewitness testimony has inconsistencies that were weighed differently on appeal and these appeal proceedings explicitly address these evidentiary disputes, showing the issues are not binary. There are evidentiary inconsistencies where proof standards differ sharply. The Siffleet execution had contemporaneous photographic evidence plus multiple witnesses it was treated as a clear war crime by Australia. The BRS allegations rely primarily on later eyewitness accounts from fellow SAS members in the defamation proceedings. The IGADF Afghanistan Inquiry (Brereton Report, public release) and subsequent Federal Court findings accepted some of these accounts on the balance of probabilities, but the criminal process Office of the Special Investigator applies the higher “beyond reasonable doubt” standard, and appeals have highlighted credibility and inconsistency issues. To quote a tweet from earlier this evening - The Roberts-Smith allegations are 20 years old. And here’s what the Brereton Inquiry, for all its 510 witnesses & four years of work, could never get: No crime scene access. The Taliban didn’t let investigators into Uruzgan. No Afghan witnesses interviewed. No secured scene. No blood-spatter analysis. No DNA No autopsies. No recovered bodies. No weapons tied to victims. The investigators themselves admitted they “lacked access to Afghan crime scenes and were missing the physical evidence that would normally anchor a murder prosecution.” So, what’s left? Memory. Twenty-year-old memory from men in the fog of war. The science is unambiguous. Countless research studies confirm memory is reconstructive: later suggestion, media exposure, and repeated questioning distort it. This is the textbook misinformation effect. Confidence and accuracy decouple within months, let alone decades. Studies on soldiers who suffer PTSD show the gaps get even larger. If murder can be proven without hard evidence decades later. That isn’t justice even if he is guilty. Proof of guilt matters. That’s a Marxist humiliation ceremony leading to national strategic disarmament by lawfare. -John Konrad The 20 plus SAS current and former soldier also questioned their involvement in the case and disagreed with it in principle but gave evidence. This legal process is going to run its course, and the results and ramifications will be apparent despite how we may feel about it.

TRIGGER WARNING In 1943 Japanese officer Chikao beheaded Australian POW Leonard Siffleet. Australia demanded justice for this war crime. BRS is charged with killing a handcuffed Afghan POW. Would those who argue BRS should not be tried have said, 'I stand with Yasuno Chikao'?

@jboyded @VGreg82063 @JmarrMarr He went to Kwinana Senior High School. Same one as me . Very working class suburb. I think his father was in management at the Kwinana BP oil refinery.

@VGreg82063 @JmarrMarr Off you trot ingrate bot.

Again I admire the patience & restraint of our Labor Gov MP’s. Many people would have returned the disrespect he showed & called out his LIES. I wonder if he’s mates with Chris Uhlmann same views same anger?

@BoyGeorge You think genocide is stylish ?

It's very trendy to hate Isreal but I have always said 'fashion for the fragile, style for the brave'.

@JoanneHorniman I’m almost 64, but the company I keep, I’m the baby.

For the record, I now identify as old.

@GuntherEagleman Your president is a pedophile.

If you hate America, LEAVE.

@MenachemV @MichaelWestBiz No it’s not. Menachem, your rhetoric is immoral.

@MichaelWestBiz Michael, your rhetoric is dangerous and may breach the law

Is @MichaelWestBiz so obsessed that he can’t understand that a person purposely going to Bondi beach - the site of Australia’s worst terrorist attack - wearing a t-shirt that arguably glorifies the hateful ideology that drove the Bondi terrorists, is morally reprehensible ???
