Finally, holding the IDF accountable under the provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention is not antisemitic. Israel is a signatory.
Specifically, and at a minimum, Articles 3, 13, 16, 32, 33, 49, 50, 53, 56, and 78.

There are better alternatives such as the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism.

The conflation of antisemitism with criticism of Israel should be a concern for everyone.
The long and convoluted history of the IHRA definition of antisemitism does not inspire confidence.

Australia has had a free trade agreement with the US since 2005. Why should we negotiate with a country that doesn’t honour its treaty obligations?
America Alone.

It’s our kids and grandkids who will suffer and are owed an apology.
Martin Niemöller got it exactly right.
First they came for the socialists…
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Let's throw the kids to the lions; we're running out of illegal aliens.
Tariffs & deportation: Trump thinks he's on to a winner.
This will get a whole lot worse, before it doesn't get any better.

Much watch episode.

How can @australia.theguardian.com not have heard of Jason Collier? He is arguably the Mozart of the 21st Century. Moon River is a masterpiece of vocal arrangement and production. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...
Assuming that we might have paid ~30 cents per kWh for this electricity, we would have spent $6150 in usage costs.
At this rate, we’ll have paid off our solar + battery + EV charger system in around 4.5 years.
My wife asked for an update on how our solar system and @amberelectric.bsky.social account were doing.
I explained that we had consumed 20.5MWh of electricity over the last 18 months for a net usage cost of -$140. That is, we were paid $140.
That’s nice! 👍😀
"… to now expect the party to cover Pesutto’s substantial debts goes against the grain of everything we believe as Liberals” says Demming.
Apparently, she also believes in blackmail… as a Liberal. 😂

The LA Police have been getting their PR training from the IDF.

Battery power in South Australia is starting to look really interesting. We're going to see the same in other states over the next few years.
The impact in Australia is that there is (almost) no discussion of what our new Labor government should be doing about US tariffs.
We’re focused on new trade agreements (e.g. the EU) with countries that have a trade policy that lasts more than a week.
I'm pausing my interest in US democracy and economics for 4 years. Its a too exhausting and I have some prawns to go on the barbie.
Let me know when they return to sanity. 👨🍳
Australians feel the same way about what the US has lost and what it means for an alliance that has lasted over 100 years.
US and Australian soldiers first fought and won side-by-side in France in the Battle of Hamel, 4 July 1918.

So, because I'm happy to have Albo as PM rather than Dutton, I must, by definition, support Israel rather than Palestinians.
That's not just lazy reasoning; it's an outright and unwarranted slur.
You're welcome to fuck right off.
I'll put your position down to a humour deficit.
Good that we've sorted that out.
Jordan Peterson is no Alex O'Connor.
You don't know who I supported because you couldn't be bothered to find out.
Maybe that's a function of getting only a fraction of my story before leaping to some dumb conclusion.
No need to either read this post or respond to it.
We're done, mate.
For the sake of clarity, no, I don't support Australia's position on Gaza.
Stop looking for the worst in people.
Take a moment to find out what they really think by asking questions and keeping an open mind. You'll get further that way.
Just a suggestion from a bikie, albeit riding a BMW. 😆
