Another one:
Another clip from the Israeli English podcast named ‘Two Nice Jewish Boys’ speaking about the Rape in Sde Teiman.
“Let's say some prisoner guards, soldiers, took a big, sharp, you know, like...
Scythe.
Porcupine dildo with barbed wire around it and shoved it up this guy's ass.
Without lube.
Are you really gonna play the, oh, poor guy card? That's a fraction of what the person deserves.”

This is the longest running English Israeli podcast named ‘Two Nice Jewish Boys’
“Forgive us if we don’t care if children get killed, that’s just how it is”
They imagine a ‘button’ and just how hard most Israelis would SMASH it if they had the chance if it would wipe out “ALL Palestinians” in Gaza and West Bank instantly.
“People [Israelis] enjoy knowing they [Gazans] are suffering.”

Kudos to ANU for rejecting the IHRA antisemitism definition which is deployed to try and silence legitimate political expression. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

No amount of argument about @SenatorPayman and how she got into the senate will help @AlboMP …the fact is her stand on Gaza is backed by the ALP platform and widely shared in the party and beyond in the Australian community.
Israel’s onslaught is an obscenity.

There's something so dishonest about these stories.
An extremist Zionist lobby in Australia organises a Zoom call with an extremist Israeli (ex) politician. He expresses genocidal thoughts and plans.
This news story details apparent shock and outrage, including by the "mainstream" pro-Israel lobby, that such a speaker and event would take place.
Please, spare us the faux outrage.
The mainstream Zionist lobby, through events and public statements for years, have shown complete contempt for Palestinians and blindly backed Netanyahu's massacres in #Gaza since 7 October. No words of criticisms. At all. If anything, they've opposed any ceasefire and encouraged even more bloodshed.
Only the @jewishcouncilAU can claim credibility by equally condemning both this extremist speaker and the mainstream pro-Israel lobby's hatred for any form of Palestinian self-determination and humanity.
For the average citizen, who are largely shocked by Israel's utter disregard for Palestinian lives, they see Jewish groups competing with each other to demean Palestinians and back even more war crimes in Gaza.
This is a key driver of anti-Semitism, though far from the only one, so let's be clear-sighted about who is to blame for its disturbing rise:

Hi @ezraklein: When you interview Amit Segal without mentioning his father’s terrorism, his brother’s third temple activism, his upbringing in a settlement, incitement against Arabs and the left, you miss a big piece of why Israel got to where it's at.

7/ Israel has also dismantled Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, including its health and educational systems. As a result, more people die from treatable conditions, all universities have been damaged/destroyed & ~625,000 children have no access to education.

6/ Israel has been causing the death of the civilian population of Gaza. Israel has created famine in Gaza and used it as a weapon of war, resulting in the deaths of dozens of civilians from starvation. Israel created and maintained shortages of water, medicine and electricity.

5/ There is ample evidence for Israel’s indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks throughout the war, as well as many examples for massacres and other killings. A long list of international institutions have harshly criticized Israel’s conduct of the war.

4/ Over the past 8 months, Israel has repeatedly massacred Palestinians in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of >37,000 Palestinians, injuries of >85,000 and an additional >10,000 still missing. Most dead (~56%) are women and children.

1/ I’m an Israeli historian. My community is still too silent about the horrible war in Gaza. Over 8 months I’ve closely followed the war, reading >1000 articles and viewing >1000 videos/images of the war from all sides. My summary conclusions & full report are in the 🧵:

.@mehdirhasan eviscerated the opposition tonight @munkdebate full of facts and fury while the other side came across as dilettantes and jargonists.

I have not once heard @AlboMP condemn Israeli massacres & other war crimes let alone withdraw ambassador, boycott etc. Until Australian gov takes meaningful action, thousands of us will continue to protest peacefully whatever the smears

As a journalist I find it upsetting and shameful to hear @abcnews senior journalists such as @PatsKarvelas using language ‘blockade’ to smear innocent people who are completely peaceful. If they don’t care enough to visit once over 4 months, they should send a reporter to do so
sunkland retweeted
It’s not a blockade outside @AlboMP office. It’s a 24 hour vigil. I have been there. I was there with @MehreenFaruqi one evening; I was also there for a Christian service. Albo has refused to even meet with them after 4 months. Albo staff closed the office. It is not blockaded!
Watching @qanda from last night. And scrolling through qanda tags. Unanimous @PatsKarvelas was terrible. Out of depth. Comes across as defending Israel and Israel propaganda. Appalling. Change host Qanda

There are videos coming out of Rafah today of beheaded babies.
Actual beheaded babies that you can see for yourselves - not the beheaded babies that the Israeli authorities invented to justify their genocidal assault, or the ones that Biden falsely claimed to have seen pix of.
sunkland retweeted
MEDIA RELEASE: As Rafah assault continues, Australia must vote yes to Palestine at UN and do more to prevent genocide.
We call on the Australian Government to demonstrate its commitment to the human rights of Palestinians by voting yes for Palestine to have full member status at the UN.

Well worth listening to this: it's at the core of so many foreign policy debates:
