Meanwhile in Australia, @ChrisMinnsMP goes about introducing laws to prosecute the criticism of Israel and
@AlboMP still hasn't stopped Australian weapons manufacturers from arming Israel to enable the Gazan #Genocide

🚨 HORRIFIC SCENES IN GAZA: Displaced families’ tents are completely submerged in floodwater. After Israel destroyed their homes, families are now left with nothing but flooded tents, with nowhere else to go.
In your new school curriculum you will be imposing on Australian students at the behest of Jillian Segal, will Israel in the 21st C be included, @JasonClareMP @AlboMP ?
Is it because of the holocaust that you think Israel is entitled to carry out wholesale #EthnicCleansing and Hitler-like #Lebensraum now, @maggieatlas @ChrisMinnsMP @AlboMP ?

Segal arrogantly sees herself as judge, jury and executioner. She is a hardline, right-wing menace to freedom of speech and independent journalism.
ABC Alumni is outraged at the continued insistence by Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism,that the ABC and SBS are contributing to antisemitism.

Pauline Hanson is facing calls to ‘please explain’, after a former One Nation employee and convicted rapist warned officials were becoming puppets of Gina Reinhart. #9News

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

No surprise. We already knew:
@OneNationAus = #MAGA
Billionaire mining tycoon Gina Rinehart is secretly running One Nation's policy, says former national campaign director.
In explosive covert recordings, Sean Black says "policy comes from Gina". Rinehart a massive MAGA supporter.
Explosive.

Comment, @maggieatlas @AlboMP @ChrisMinnsMP ?
A government policing the majority view of a foreign state on that state’s behalf has stopped protecting a minority and started protecting an embassy.

Are you referring to @ChrisMinnsMP pushing to declare any criticism of the #Genocide antisemitic and punishable by law?
You'll have to provide me with evidence of the level of support for the Hitler Holocaust, @maggieatlas because I haven't seen any polling. On the other hand, we have seen the overwhelming support for the @netanyahu #Genocide from Israelis and Zionists who all FULLY know about it.

Jillian Segal is contributing to anti-semetism through her anti-intellectual, entitled complaints and demands for special treatment for 0.4% of the Australian population. It is grating on people’s nerves. I don’t remember a referendum to decide whether Australians wanted this.
I saw this part of Segal's testimony, @maggieatlas. Have you? Have you read her report's recommendations?
She is an Israeli operative attempting to undermine national sovereignty and free speech in a democratic nation.
@AlboMP needs to stop being a simp and sack her.
ACMA has found no code breaches by the ##SBS over their Gaza coverage since October 7. Segal admitted under oath it hadn’t found “a great deal of inaccuracy.” Her answer? A new watchdog for them anyway. That’s not accountability, it's censorship.

Have you read anything other than Israeli hasbara, @maggieatlas ? You might try to be better informed by following quality journos like Quentin.
Jillian Segal the Albanese' Government's special envoy, has published, without probative evidence, what amounts to a reputational smear of our public broadcasters, ABC and SBS, as fostering anti-semitism though their Middle East coverage. @abcalumni statement here >>
This organisation conducts R&D for Israeli killing technology employed in Gaza and beyond. Are you a donor, @maggieatlas ?
More rational people, @maggieatlas. Try hanging out with some. Their influence may just rub off.
Zohran Mamdani was right.
AIPAC is not the Jewish community. Israel is not the Jewish people.
Criticizing AIPAC, or the Israeli government does not automatically make someone antisemitic or a hater of Jews.
The claim by Israel and lobbying groups like AIPAC that they speak for all Jews is increasingly being challenged, including by Jewish Americans themselves.
A reported 66% of Jewish Americans say AIPAC's multimillion-dollar spending against Israel critics fuels antisemitism.
Judaism is not Zionism. AIPAC lobbying is not Jewish representation.

Wow. This is amazing!
The incoming House Oversight Committee chairman @RobertGarcia just outlined the four main investigations that Democrats will be opening when they take back the house in January.
It’s about time!!
