“But when self-identified Zionists take their commitment to Israel to ideological extremes … they also deserve to be called out, and not allowed to get away with the old trope of painting their critics as irredeemably antisemitic.” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03/f…

“… there is also truth in the argument of many of those with strong concerns about the impact of the Zionist enterprise … the way in that anti-Zionism has long been deliberately conflated with antisemitism in order to defuse those criticisms.” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03/f…
English
“… if one is serious about protecting free speech, then one cannot allow subjective perceptions to determine characterisation of any given language as antisemitic: the words in question must, objectively, manifest hatred, hostility or prejudice …” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03/f…

“We’re not out of fuel. We’re out of commonsense. And that’s a shortage no government can fix.”
Brilliant post.

@RobbieBarwick @SenatorWong @NickMcKim She continues to diminish herself to the point of being irrelevant.

@FetchStep @JohnRowsthorne I heard him - an utterly unconvincing reply - clearly “in the pocket” of the gambling industry. 🤨
English

Labor PM for #SportsBets Albanese has blamed "overseas websites”, keno and pokies for problem gambling numbers.
Gambling ads are not the problem he said.
This is the latest excuse the Labor cowards use for not banning #GamblingAds
Labor are owned by Spots betting agencies.

Doubtless there will be a statement in this from @SenatorWong any moment to reassure the quarter of a million Lebanese Australians.

Anyone gonna say anything about Lebanon’s right to exist?

Spoke with Australia’s FM @SenatorWong. We discussed at length developments in the war in Iran and Lebanon.
I emphasized the massive scale of missile, rocket, and drone attacks against Israel from Lebanon. Israel is acting to defend its communities and citizens. I described the reality of life these days in our northern communities, to which residents returned after over a year in which they didn't live in their homes.
Most international media outlets are currently portraying the situation on only one side of the border. Unfortunately, the Lebanese government is not taking practical steps against Hezbollah, neither to stop the attacks on Israeli civilians, nor in other contexts.
I welcomed the arrival of Australia’s new ambassador to Israel, Neil Hawkins, and expressed my gratitude for the swift acceptance of the credentials of our ambassador in Canberra, @Hillel_Newman.

@infolibnews Doing what Israel does best (other than killing children) - telling lies.
English

Fmr Israeli PM Naftali Bennett says Europeans should be "thanking"—not criticizing—Israel: "We're fighting your war, and we expect not to be criticized!"
"Regarding that guy who quit (Joe Kent), well, he's a schmuck!"
"We're fighting the most just war ever, and we should be getting your backing, and not your criticism!"

@CarolKirkby1 @prof_rr She handles questioning very poorly - the cracks in this crackpot party beginning to show.

The Guardian broke this. They found a "FIFTH" undeclared flight that she took on "Gina Rineharts" private jet! Don't insult us with taxpayers didn't have to pay... we'll pay "heavily" with you working for her with "big tax breaks for the rich" Voting NO to stop mining taxes etc!

🔥 Just in - Pauline Hanson under fire - roasted on undeclared flights with her multibillionaire elite friend Gina Rinehart. Hanson suggests there’s no issue if Gina pays the costs When pressed if she’s declared “as far as I understand…” Sure Pauline, we believe you…🙄 #auspol

BREAKING: In a bizarre press conference Trump claims Iran is going to make a deal because they got him a nice present.
"They're gonna make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing. They gave us a present and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money.”
Don’t believe a word that this lunatic says.

A 17 year old boy was tortured in prison by Israel for 6 months without ever being charged.
“Walid’s autopsy indicates that Israeli prison guards systematically starved and abused him for months until he finally collapsed, struck his head, and died”
Like many prisoners, he also had signs of dysentery, scabies, and other diseases that contributed to his death.
Israel has held his body for a year and has not given his family an explanation for why.
But it’s obviously because Israel doesn’t want even more evidence of its widespread torture of children to be seen.
The judge wrote his decision on this last year, but it was barred from publication until now after petitions from Haaretz.

“In 1982, Hezbollah was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran primarily to fight the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The 1982 and the 1978 Israeli invasions had created a humanitarian crisis in Lebanon.” Wikipedia.
44 years later Israel repeats the same folly. 😏 #Lebanon
