The March Quadrant is out, which features a brilliant essay (by me) on Macquarie University’s most unpleasant academic. On newsstands and in mailboxes now.
@timothycootes @QuadrantMagAU @victoriauninews You seem to have a real fixation on one group of people and of that group mainly women. This sounds very balanced.
Over the course of two and a half years, Murdoch's hate factory pumped out 688 print articles attacking Palestinian-Australian academic @RandaAFattah with the explicit aim to cause her financial harm and reputational damage, calling for her funding to be suspended, job to be lost, book deals to be cancelled. 412 articles were published by "The (Zionist) Australian" alone. This manufactured racist hysteria, aimed at destroying an Arab woman for protesting her people's genocide, led to other news outlets writing about her as well. In total, there were 845 articles in Australian media about one woman. This is a vicious, coordinated, racist campaign. It's also the bedrock of Murdoch media: it targets individuals from marginalised backgrounds - particularly women - and sets out to destroy them. Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Randa Abdel-Fattah, Grace Tame. The same revolting hacks pursuing this agenda do it in the name of "(white) social cohesion" - a vile absurdity.
EXCLUSIVE: A data investigation reveals what appears to be a sustained, coordinated media offensive by The Australian targeting Randa Abdel-Fattah. The paper has written more articles on her than Nine papers, Guardian, ACM papers & ABCNews online COMBINED share.google/IvEPeV3m4T80ns…
Predictable. The only sensible thing for the world to do is to back Iran. They are fighting for their survival and the principle of sovereignty on behalf of all nations. If China and Russia dont intervene, the two madmen will ‘bomb it back to the stone age’. Both Netanyahu and Trump should be removed by their own people for bring the world to the brink of a World War to end all times. Restore international law and diplomacy. Get rid of lunatics with their finger on nuclear bombs.
🚨 BREAKING CEASEFIRE UPDATES 🚨 "We are disappointed with how US behaved. Netanyahu's call to Vance during the meeting shifted the focus from US-Iran negotiations to Israel's interests. The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war. We came here with good faith, the press conference by Vance before he left Pakistan was unnecessary, we are committed & prepared to safeguard our nation's interest and sovereignty"- Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi
The Greens are the only political party that have the courage and morality to stand with Palestine as it's erased by supremacists. I find it odd, in that context, that they condemn Iran, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc. It's like they're only up for half the fight. It makes no sense.
