"Israel argues that the right of return cannot pass from one generation to another. Yet it sees no contradiction in claiming under the Israeli return law that the bond between people and land had survived 3000 years of history. But if you are Palestinian, it cannot be passed from one generation to another. Why such a contradiction? Because Israel does not deal with us as human beings endowed with rights but as a demographic threat to be addressed. This is a supremacist approach we cannot be asked to condone."

Israel just murdered a doctor featured in the film about Israel murdering doctors
My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen. Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure." Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.

So, the Israelis have murdered yet another doctor.
I grieve the death of one of Gaza's few remaining general surgeons today. Dr Rizq Abu Shaeera was respected by many who worked alongside him, providing surgical care in unspeakably harsh conditions at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, the target of today's lethal airstrikes.

One day, we will look back at this time in Australia's history where the entire nation went to a vote and denied Indigenous people a direct voice to parliament while directly after that, the government of the day walked away and gave that voice to Israel - without a single Australian vote being cast or a person being asked. One day we will wonder how we allowed Australia to be captured and ruled by a foreign nation, for our thoughts to be policed and our rights to artistic expression and freedom of speech curtailed by an unelected, South African born, multi-millionaire white woman from eastern Sydney who answers to lsrael. One day we'll have to tell our children and grandchildren that this woman thought that protesting against a war where children are bombed and burnt alive in their beds is an evil thing to do, but marching with a Nazi protest sign is nothing worth worrying about. One day we will have to explain this upside-down madness, this state-captured think speak we all allowed to happen and wonder why we didn't do more. One day, everyone will have always been against this. #SackSegal .

Here it is in a nutshell. The #NACC is - as I keep yelling - not a corruption investigation unit at all. It's not. It's a public-service, education & teaching unit. A very expensive $80 million a year one, that does no corruption investigation at all but instead, 'educates'.

“I love the Third Reich but hate Hitler. Once Hitler is out, Göring, Himmler and Goebbels will restore common sense.”
Hillary Clinton: "I love Israel, and I hate Netanyahu's government and his policies. I love America, and I hate Trump's government and policies ... if the Israelis want to vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position."

Most days David Shoebridge (Greens) and David Pocock (Independent) are holding the Albanese Govt to account. They are pulling apart policies that are not in this country’s best interests with common sense arguments. They are doing the job of the incompetent Opposition.

Marles, Conroy and Labor are being humiliated by the US regime.The fiction of sovereignty under AUKUS and HMAS Stirling is not a US base has been ruthlessly exposed.Abandoning our sovereignty, land and integrity is disgusting. What has happened to the party of Whitlam and Uren?

For those of you who say voting Independent & Greens is a wasted vote, spend some time watching these guys in Senate Estimates saving our democracy & holding Ministers & public servants to account. Two of our hardest working, most effective Senators ever.

😂 Why yes, I was an Israeli spy for 20 years. And then I somehow overnight became the main "journalist" used by the Israelis and US Governments to uncritically recite propaganda about Israel in the US. How dare you suggest these two things are related? Anti-semite!

Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal-funded disinformation network “Advance” is now attacking one of the nation’s best and most respected journalists, over doing his job and pointing out the bleeding obvious regarding Israel and the US. This is where we are, Australia’s MAGA.

One Rule for Some. Another for the Rest of Us. This week an eighteen-year-old was arrested by fifteen police officers in Brisbane for wearing a singlet bearing six words. She received a caution. This time. The law she was arrested under carries two years in prison. The architects of Robodebt - $1.76 billion in unlawful debts, lives destroyed, deaths linked to the scheme - have faced no charges. Not one. Not ever. And now we learn from @sstephanietrann that the Queensland law used to arrest her was praised by Israel's Foreign Minister, who urged its expansion to other states. Australian law. Shaped by foreign government pressure. Used against an Australian teenager in a singlet. When the law descends swiftly on the powerless and never reaches the powerful - when it answers to foreign interests before it answers to its own citizens - democracy itself is at stake. The fair go is not a slogan. It is a promise. Right now, that promise is being broken in plain sight. One rule for some. Another for the rest of us. That is not the country we were promised. And it is not the country we should accept. 👇 [link] open.substack.com/pub/suebar… #auspol @MichaelWestBiz @deniseshrivell @aaronsmith @JoYohana @Anthony_Klan @auspolfiles @CommunityIndeps @AusIndiMedia

Iran is allowing CNN, an American network from a country currently bombing Iran alongside Israel, into the country to document the war. Imagine Israel allowing Iranian media into their country? Israel arrested me, an American journalist from its "closest ally" simply for documenting Iranian attacks on the country the wrong way.
CNN's Frederik Pleitgen is on his way to Iran's capital, Tehran, as Israel and the US continue their aerial campaign against the country. CNN is operating in Iran only with government permission.

Do you get it yet? Multi year lobbying to proscribe the civilian Hamas administration as “terrorist”. AJA doctoring of chants at the Opera House. Two years of ‘criminal gang’ fake antisemitism. Politicians openly lying about the Dural caravan fake bomb threats. Senator Wong defunding UNRWA. Contracts with Elbit and Palantir. Unbroken supply of F35 parts to Israel. Mossad telling ASIO that Iran attacked Adass Israel synagogue and a Sydney deli. Jeremy Leibler labelling anti-atrocity protests as “Jew hate”. Mark Leibler dehumanising anti-Zionist Jews. Organised take-downs of Mary Kostakidis, Jayson Gillham, Antoinette Latouf, Peter Lalor, Peter MacDonald, Sarah Schwartz, Theo Nolan-Isles, Randa Abdel-Fattah, Louise Adler, Grace Tame and so many more. Constant labelling of the Greens as “far-left” - for saying we should abide by international law. Hate speech laws with an explicit carve out so groups advocating for genocide - like all the pro-Israel lobbies, Chabad etc - can’t be caught. A state visit for the president of a nation committing genocide & general atrocity bingo. Police brutality against peace protestors. NSW parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism drills deep into police data on supposed anti-Semitic incidents, then decides not to issue a report. Anti-semitism royal commission adopting the IHRA definition of anti-semitism. Sharri Markson vilifying Francesca Albanese. Adelaide Uni cancelling her event. Constant vilification of the Muslim community. And now comes the real demand:
Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel says it's time for Australia to "wake up" and participate in the US-Israeli strikes on Iran This from a country currently on trial for genocide at the ICC

Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong obsessively talk about international law, but go silent when Israel and the US breach it. It’s part of a broader picture of refusal to be honest with Australians. #auspol #Iran crikey.com.au/2026/03/05/ill…
