On Ngunnawal/Ngambri country - #Canberra, Australia.
Household cats are sucked in by progressive media. Views are theirs; sometimes mine.
- I find this spineless, and morally bankrupt. Albanese and Wong don't want to 'embarrass' their genocide-inciting special visitor.
- Leibler says Herzog's visit would model "it is possible to show solidarity with Jewish Australians by acknowledging the centrality of Israel to their identity" As a Jewish Australian, the last thing I want is my identity linked to a genocidal, apartheid state. #auspol www.abc.net.au/religion/jer...
- Great to see these all around town.
- Herzog's incitement of genocide is 'hate speech'. So it's "remarkable that the Albanese govt has created this situation where they will cop heat from their own base and ordinary Australians in order to be subservient to Israel". @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social #auspol www.lamestream.com.au/how-albanese...
- "This visit does not merely blur the line between Judaism and Israel. It erases it. Publicly. Institutionally. With government endorsement of inviting a man who, according to Labor Friends of Palestine, doesn’t pass the character test for a Visa application" #auspol
- Excellent statement from Zali Steggall. The PM needs to realize that caving in to the Israel lobby is the last thing that will deliver 'social cohesion' for Australia. If he is looking for national unity, and greater safety for Jews, inviting a genocide enthusiast will not deliver. #auspol
- Albanese says the visit of genocide enthusiast Isaac Herzog will help with "a greater sense of unity [and] social cohesion.” Bad enough that he insults our intelligence with this drivel. Worse that he caved in so comprehensively to the Israel lobby. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
