Colin Wight (not Colin Wright)

@mark_carrigan @ThomsonPat Mistake to think Twitter is a medium for academic exchange. It's not, it's a madhouse, and everyone on it is mad, in both senses of word.

The Men Are Not Women Tour at Parliament House with the wonderful @KirralieS

And here is what you get in response to writing to your local Federal MP (who happens to be the Prime Minster, @AlboMP) about the need to amend the Sex Discrimination Act. 🙄

@SlimWiggy @MaureenWRC And still we’re told (or at least I am) that feminism has nothing to do with the development of gender ideology.

Phyllis Schlafly lays out precisely why the leftist/Marxists had to introduce "trans" while the mother of 2nd wave feminism repeatedly fails to answer a basic question:

@patrick_oshag Are the FBI transcripts available?

Darren on the 20-year plan he argues foreign actors used to co-opt American universities and shift Western opinion on Israel: "The design to co-opt American universities can be traced to a single hotel room in Philadelphia by the FBI. Where, after the Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority with Arafat is brought in, and Hamas is considered left out in the cold. They laid out in this single conversation, that the FBI has transcripts of, their plan to co-opt universities and university teaching, for the express purposes of changing Western opinion over the course of 20 years. They had a 20-year plan, and it totally worked. To make it seem like it was this natural formation out of the ether, through moral will, is to dumb down the sophistication of what the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas set out to do. It was done with intent. It was by design."

@shuvmajumdar He’s right to distinguish military targets from civilian targets. He’s wrong about the ICJ. They did not say it was a plausible genocide.

A law professor at Queens describes Hamas as a “non state armed group” and “Palestinian armed groups” attacking “legitimate military targets” against an “occupying force.” Hamas is a listed terror organization, that has no legitimacy to attack anything. And Gaza has not been occupied for over 18 years.

It’s not “next level lawyering” or “willful stupidity”; it’s standard international practice. Claimants (or applicants) routinely preserve jurisdictional objections in submissions, including via footnotes or reservations, precisely to avoid any argument of waiver by conduct while still advancing their case on the merits. Jurisdiction and merits are distinct; arguing the latter does not automatically forfeit the former. Competent counsel builds in these safeguards because tribunals expect precision on consent-based jurisdiction. This is textbook risk management in ICJ, ICSID, UNCITRAL, and other international proceedings. Parties plead in the alternative or explicitly reserve rights all the time; it’s basic procedure to protect against implied acquiescence. Dismissing it as something a lawyer “shouldn’t teach” ignores how these cases actually work. See, e.g., Oil Platforms (Iran v. US) at the ICJ, and countless ICSID cases (such as those against Argentina) where claimants advance merits arguments while preserving jurisdictional positions in submissions or footnotes, precisely to avoid waiver arguments. Perhaps if you understand the category differences between international and domestic law it might be helpful to

@colwight @ElliotMalin @IntlCrimCourt @KarimKhanQC You don’t make a jurisdictional challenge when you’re the claimant filing the application… at some point, you guys really need to drop this willful stupidity…

We have filed, on behalf of our Palestinian client, a demand for warrants for the leadership of Hamas at the @IntlCrimCourt for the crimes committed by the terrorist government of Gaza against the Palestinian people. @KarimKhanQC and the Office of the Prosecutor cannot say that they truly care about justice if they continue to ignore the blatant crimes committed against the Palestinian people by Hamas. These crimes include numerous crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by Hamas against the Palestinian people. Notably including the war crime of utilizing the presence of civilians or other protected persons as human shields. There has never been a demonstration that the Palestinian's are willing and able to investigate Hamas for these crimes. Hamas' purposeful conduct in Gaza has greatly exacerbated the harm against Palestinian civilians. The unnecessary suffering of the Palestinian people must be accounted for and the ICC cannot claim to care about justice if it remains silent on these crimes. Thankful to the work of my colleagues, Eli Rosenbaum, and @sarah_scialom, and our brave client who came forward to tell their story.

I wouldn’t be surprised if @JohnCleese doesn’t do her for intellectual theft.

This is better than any Monty Python sketch. Friends, I present to you, Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

@salltweets @Jessica12uk @Katherine_deves A sex discrimination commissioner that doesn’t understand sex isn’t fit for purpose. It should be an essential requirement for the job.

@Katherine_deves I still remember the first time we ever read this in submissions. It was like “have they actually said this? Can I start drinking?”

Australians are paying vast sums of money for the privilege of being lied to and gaslit Everyone knows males cannot get pregnant Everyone knows males cannot thus ever be “potentially” pregnant “Potentially” pregnant means TTC, undergoing IVF or being a female of a fertile age Not a man with pregnancy fantasy This is newspeak of the highest order Defund and disband the Australian Human Rights Commission Because when the Sex Discrimination Commissioner asserts that MEN are entitled to pregnancy protections it is no longer fit for purpose Australians are being taken for a ride by these unelected freeloading quangos delivering utter absurdities & inanities devoid of any connection to reality Taxpayers tightening their belts even further to fund their lavish salaries and generous multi-million dollar budgets #AustraliaFirst

@davidgross_man You might just be too dumb to realise you’re helping make his point for him.

Here's a quote from 2014 from a member of the IDF's tech/intelligence Unit 8200 regarding its targeting of queer Palestinians

🔵Press Release: Statement by the Israeli Embassy in Canberra Regarding Gaza Flotilla The return of the Gaza flotilla participants has attracted significant international attention and prompted a range of serious allegations against Israel, including claims of physical mistreatment and sexual abuse. Israel categorically rejects these allegations and maintains that serious claims of this nature must be backed by credible evidence and grounded in fact. It is also important to recognise that this is the fourth flotilla organised for provocation rather than humanitarian concern. The flotillas have not been driven by legitimate humanitarian objectives, but by an orchestrated political campaign that serves the interests of Hamas. Some governments, including Australia, advised against participation. Several figures associated with the flotilla are well-known agitators with documented links to organizations connected to Hamas and other terrorist groups. The United States has imposed sanctions on four activists associated with the flotilla. While it is reasonable to assume that some participants were naïve, it is also clear that others operate as professional provocateurs advancing a political agenda. Inspections of the flotilla also showed no meaningful humanitarian cargo on board. In contrast, there are lawful and effective mechanisms already in place delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. Since October 2023, more than 1.5 million tons of humanitarian aid have entered Gaza. On average, hundreds of trucks enter daily delivering assistance through coordinated international systems. Flotilla organizers were explicitly offered the option to transfer any humanitarian cargo through these established and secure channels. That offer was refused. The conclusion is that this flotilla is not a humanitarian delivery mechanism operating in good faith. Claims that the blockade of Gaza is illegal are also untrue. The maritime security measures in place around Gaza are not designed to block aid but exist to prevent the smuggling of weapons and other materials to Hamas. The legality of the naval blockade has been recognized internationally, including in the 2011 Palmer Report. The provocateurs were neither tortured nor raped. Such claims are entirely baseless and are intended solely to advance the provocateurs’ smear campaign against Israel. Allegations of abuse, torture or sexual assault are serious claims. No real evidence was presented to support them. While claims of abuse have not been substantiated, some participants have been photographed on stretchers, posing as injured. They then reveal miraculous recovery, posing in other photos looking very healthy. If there is any genuine evidence or complaint, it should be filed through the appropriate channels for thorough examination by the competent authorities. In cases where provocateurs behaved violently, non-lethal measures were used, similar to measures employed against rioters in Europe. Israel condemns any attempts to exploit humanitarian concerns to advance political purposes. Rather than contributing to genuine humanitarian outcomes, the Gaza flotilla has undermined them and distracted from actual efforts to support civilians. Israel remains committed to facilitating humanitarian assistance through secure and effective channels, while continuing to act in accordance with international law.

@MichaelRosenYes Jesus, you’re reposting this account. Are you sure you’re actually a Professor?

@PaulEmbery @RhinestoneCow11 And that’s Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner. Unbelievable.

My word. This is incredible. A real-life version of that scene from The Life of Brian: "Stan, you haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!"

@nick_matau Watching them all turn on each other is gratifying and predictable.

Norman Finkelstein is getting dragged by the same people he helped prop up (and they helped prop him up) because of his interview here. And, I have to say... I couldn't care less! Norman made his bed and may just learn a hard lesson here. It does NOT matter how much you criticize Israel Norman... they will put you on the train too because their movement has always been about Jews (NOT Israel)

@trotzenfeldt Do you not realise what’s wrong with these two statements? “I just want to reiterate that nothing in the report "Silenced no more" has been proven. And no, I haven't read it.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Jag vill bara igen påpeka att ingenting i rapporten "Silenced no more" är bevisat. Och nej, jag har inte läst den. Tove Lifvendal, som jag förr var Facebookvän med - hon har nu tagit bort mig - är en av många välmenande svenskar som bara helt enkelt inte kan tänka sig att Israel ljuger. Allt de framför ska vi tro på, precis som vi tror på Norge och Kanada. Och då blir det förstås obegripligt för henne att inte världen tar denna rapport på allvar. Jag var pinsamt länge likadan. Jag ändrade mig, som ni vet som följt mig ett tag, när jag insåg vidden av de många lögner Israels regim producerar. När jag begrep att Hasbara inte är ett skällsord utan en strategi. Det jag vet är att om inga belägg fanns i början av 2024, när FN gjorde en omfattande utredning och inte fick tillgång till vare sig bildbevis eller obduktionsprotokoll eller förstahandsvittnen lär de inte plötsligt bara ha dykt upp nu. Och jag påminner om att det inte finns någon kvinna som säger sig ha blivit våldtagen, och ingen kropp uppvisade bevis för våldtäkter. Det jag vet är att Hamas tagit ansvar för allt annat som hände den dagen, men mycket bestämt nekar till att ha beordrat våldtäkter. Vad skulle de ha för motiv till att beordra dem och sedan blåneka? Så funkar inte terror. Det jag också vet är också som sagt att för Israels hasbara-apparat som bevisligen ljög då och har ljugit sedan många år är just anklagelserna om stympningar och våldtäkter centrala - de bidrar till dehumaniseringen av palestinier. Rapporten förväntar sig att vi ska tro en ljugande nation på dess ord utan andra bevis. Det som också är värt att påpeka är att Israel i dagarna fått sen men välförtjänt och omfattande kritik för deras många synnerligen bevisade systematiska våldtäkter mot palestinska kvinnor i Gaza och på Västbanken och palestinska män i fängelser, och att rapporten kom ut samtidigt som den kritiken. Här är igen min krönika i Syre, där jag går igenom "bevisen": tidningensyre.se/2026/09-januar… trotzenfeldt.com/2026/05/25/sil…

@nyaraVT Did you have to work at being this dumb or did it just come naturally?

Trans women are also biological women. The term "biological woman" is made up by anti-science losers who want to other trans women, but it doesn't actually work. If you think being female is strictly about the ability to get pregnant, you will invalidate cis women as well.

@Apolitical3678 @normfinkelstein Nice followers you have Norm.

@normfinkelstein This is why you never, ever trust a jew. Ever. The “some good jews” myth has been disproven over and over again ad nauseam

The sinister plot behind the far-right's shift on Israel | Norman Finkelstein interview normanfinkelstein.com/the-sinister-p…

@suffolkvicar Are you suggesting that males aren’t a threat to females? However, safety isn’t the only issue. Women are just saying no to males in female spaces. Why aren’t you listening?

Say it loud, say it clear ‘Excluding trans peoples from single sex spaces will not make c!s women safer.’

@xIsraelExposedx It’s about Jews. But then you knew that. You need help.

The Zionist takover of the US was predicted in 1897, in this book. When you google it the results will tell you it is a 'fabricated antisemitic text' but we all know that means they dont want you to read it.

Well we got here. Anyone who’s ever taken this account seriously needs to be utterly ashamed and mocked. And that’s a lot of people. That an account with over a quarter of a million followers can post this non-ironically tells you just how normalised Jew hatred is now. And the book, if one can call it that, doesn’t mention Zionists. And then I read some of the responses to the post. JFC!
