  1. Win! A NSW Supreme Court judgment has clearly distinguished criticism of Israel from antisemitism, settling important questions about the IHRA conflation and its weaponizing by governments and institutions.

    “The IHRA core text is so verbose and imprecise that it could not realistically be attributed to the ordinary, reasonably informed member of the Australian public,” Justice Fagan says. The examples, he says, “indicate that the IHRA wording is not intended to give effect to the extant common understanding of antisemitism” but is directed to grafting “onto the community’s abhorrence of antisemitism, understood as hostility to Jews for their Jewishness, a parasitic rejection of protest against Israel. Seen in that light, the IHRA proposal is detached from the reality of the common usage and understanding of antisemitism in this country.”

  2. "In 2023, 60 per cent of Australians rejected a constitutionally recognised Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A body that could only make representations, only on matters concerning the people whose ancestors have been here sixty thousand years.
    "Too much, the No campaign shrieked. Division. Privilege. Special treatment.
    "Nine months later, Anthony Albanese handed Jillian Segal what the Voice never dreamed of asking for. Not a right to be heard. Power. No election. No parliamentary vote. No hearing. A three year commission reporting personally to the Prime Minister, with a mandate reaching into every campus, newsroom, classroom, gallery, charity, arts contract and visa file in the Commonwealth."

  3. This long-form article shows the awfulness of Biden, but also of Blinken, Sullivan, Austin, Finer, who all try to:
    - minimize their complicity;
    - deflect the blame onto their former manager.

  4. Abelardo de la Espriella: a US citizen, a registered Republican, a Miami millionaire, and a man who celebrated winning the Colombian presidency by shouting ‘long live the people of Israel.’

  5. How cultural institutions subtly silence and exclude writers, in the guise of concern or responsibility, to censor and “reshape[s] what other writers feel able to say, and what audiences are permitted to hear”.

  6. Foreign influence in Australia

    "The reach [of the Israel lobby] extends into the newsrooms and it has been there for decades. Veteran ABC journalist John Lyons documented it in his 2021 book Dateline Jerusalem, writing that in forty years of journalism he had never encountered a lobby as formidable, well-funded, or relentlessly effective as the pro-Israel lobby in Australia, and that material the lobby succeeded in suppressing here was routinely published in Israel without consequence or controversy."

  7. Democratic Majority for Israel #DMFI is a lobbying group advocating pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party.
    They had cancelled their ads in NE-02 after the beneficiary, New Dem-endorsed Denise Powell, had disavowed support from pro-Israel PACs.
    Now they are running ads in NE-02 through a shell PAC called "Pro-Choice Majority 2026," which has the same campaign treasurer.

  8. Wieland Hoban explains #philosemitism in Germany:
    "It’s very difficult to have a general sense of Jews as ordinary people who are part of the country’s population. Many people have an image frozen in time of Jews as the victims of the Nazis, who were the parents or grandparents of many Germans.

    "In some cases, this leads to an over-compensation which means that people want to have a particularly favourable idea of Jews. They make a point of doing what they think is supporting Jews. Including supporting Israel, going on holiday in Israel, or cultivating connections to Israel thinking this somehow revives Jewishness."

  9. Morgan McSweeney has served as Downing Street Chief of Staff under Prime Minister Keir Starmer since October 2024.
    McSweeney was the campaign manager for the Labour Party and director of the think tank "Labour Together".
    Morgan McSweeney has a murky history of targeting the Left of the Labour Party: thecanary.co/uk/news/2025/09/2

  10. The Scottish Parliament has passed a motion by the Green Party calling on "the Scottish and UK Governments to immediately impose a package of boycotts, divestment and sanctions targeted at the state of Israel and at companies complicit in its military operations and its occupation of Palestine".
    Scottish Labour Party MPs abstained in the vote.

  11. @palestine @eu

    "The recent wave of symbolic recognitions that began in 2024 now appears to be the only step many European powers are willing to take in the face of genocide, following nearly two years of moral, material, and diplomatic support for the Israeli regime as well as near-total impunity."

    Why now? What political or strategic interests? al-shabaka.org/roundtables/sta

    Yara Hawari: "This kind of recognition is not just ineffective—it is dangerous. It reinforces a narrow partitionist framework that reduces “Palestine” to the West Bank and Gaza and the Palestinian people to less than half of who we are."

  12. "The Dutch government has faced mounting pressure from public protests over Israel’s war. Demonstrations in The Hague drew between 100,000 and 150,000 people - the largest in the country in two decades. Protesters demanded sanctions on Israel and humanitarian access for civilians in Gaza."

    "Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp, part of a caretaker government, resigned on Friday after a cabinet meeting failed to reach consensus on new sanctions against @israel.
    […]
    "Veldkamp, a former ambassador to Israel, [had] called for fresh measures against Israel on Thursday in response to its war on Gaza and its plans for the occupied West Bank."

  13. "Then when I got involved in the National Union of Students I realised that I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. That’s a really magical moment, when you discover that you’re not alone in your politics."

    "If we’re contesting state power, we’re going to face a major backlash, and we need to have the institutional resilience to withstand it. […] The overall party structure has to be unitary."

  14. "Germany is open about its uninhibited support for Israel‘s war of extermination and genocide in Palestine, and wants to make sure the entire world sees it."

    "Establishment forces have translated Holocaust remembrance chiefly as support for Israel, elevating its protection to a German Staatsraison (national interest) coupled with zero tolerance for criticism of Israel, which is automatically treated as antisemitism".

  15. "If Your Party is to be a genuinely decentralised organisation, then its Scottish and Welsh parties should be separate legal entities. They alone should decide their policy on Independence.

    "I suspect that a fudge will be attempted, whereby Your Party supports “the right of the Scottish people to decide”. That is frankly no use to anyone, and proceeds from an assumption that permission has to be granted.

    "The right of the Scottish nation to self-determination is established in international law. It is not a policy just to state it.

    "The support for Genocide in Palestine is not a bug, it is a feature of the rogue British state. That imperialist entity needs to be broken up."

  16. "The Zionist produces and defines itself through the animalization of the Palestinian."

    "Palestinian liberation is an impossibility in the current ordering of knowledge and being, similarly demanding through its realization the end of […] this world, and modernity."

    This paper "posits that Palestinian freedom necessitates the creation of new worlds and [the getting rid of encumbering] constructs such as modernity and the Human."

  17. The EU is the largest investor in Israel, nearly twice as big as the United States (US).

    Despite Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and its unlawful occupation across the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the EU increased exports to Israel by €1 billion, standing at €25.5 billion in 2023 and €26.7 billion in 2024.
