The USyd VC is in the AFR today on unis as places of robust disagreement – conveniently ignoring that he's overseen the most intense repression of 'disagreement' ever in the history of the campus. My reply to him on internal uni social media, which may be censored at any moment.

Pretty hard to get your head around Yiyun Li's Things in Nature Merely Grow - an indescribable memoir about losing two sons to suicide, that manages to be both utterly heartbreaking and kind of chillingly intellectual

#Israel president Isaac Herzog laid a wreath in honour of the 15 victims of the #Bondibeachattack & a stone from Jerusalem. He took 4Qs from the media. I asked him if being at such a solemn site gave him pause on the 70,000 killed in #Gaza incl. 20,000 children by the IDF #auspol

and the Australian Academic Alliance against Antisemitism includes non-Jews of course, such as noted terf Holly Lawford-Smith. but for sure us anti-zionist jews who work & study at universities won't be included. nor, more importantly, will Palestinians.
David Brophy@Dave_Brophy

Very predictable list of organisations that universities are encouraged to work with. The Australian Academic Alliance against Antisemitism recently made a submission to NSW parliament saying that the phrase "Free Palestine" is "inherently racist."

In 1992, Sinead O’Connor performed an a cappella version of Bob Marley’s song “War” and ended it by tearing up a photograph of Pope John Paul II to protest against child abuse in the Catholic Church while telling the audience to “fight the real enemy.” Americans cancelled her.

the attorney-general, Michelle Rowland, confirmed a group could theoretically be banned under the new regime if it accused Israel of genocide and rejected its right to exist and as a result Jewish Australians felt harassed or intimidated. theguardian.com/australia-news…

the laws that the government & coalition will pass tonight are deeply violent. they will cause profound harm to many people. they are clearly targeted at Palestinians and at those who speak up for Palestine. they are racist. we need to fight their implementation, tooth and nail.

Louise Adler is so impressive. So articulate. One of the many women in Australian public life who tower over their male counterparts. Cannot think of a single Australian male politician or many male media figures who exhibit any charisma, charm, brains or drive.
