#Ronnislat at her best again in #TheShot with a review the #RC where the #ZionistLobby was given free and uncontested air time”
“Does Australia have an antisemitism problem? Of course we do, we are not alone in that. Is it the Australian national emergency the Israel lobby claims it to be? With the consistent lack of independent data (even the alleged antisemitism figures are compiled by the Exec Council of Australian Jewry without independent auditing) it is hard to say, especially given the deliberate confusion between what is actually racism directed at Jewish people and what is actually criticism of Israel. Is everybody appearing before the Royal Commission telling lies? No. Conversely – is everybody appearing before the Royal Commission telling the truth? Again, no.”

I will never tire of pointing out that #AntiIsrael and #AntiZionism is not #AntiSemitism and that our current #AntiDiscrimination laws are adequate, if in need of updates. We do not need separate legislation specifically to cover anti-semitism in Australia IMO.

@RHW
1/n
The article has useful things to say.But the following two extracts do not sit well together in a reasoned argument IMO.
1.
"A Royal Commission is, by its very legislative nature, an inquisitorial system whereby the subject matter is explored rather than tested."
2.
"An array of people have been allowed to give their subjective views, unfettered by the need to offer corroborating evidence or any evidence at all." -
“…no connection whatsoever to mainstream Australia, its accursed newscycle, and its fucked up sense of priorities.” That kinda reflects the way I feel recently. An increasingly fast-paced tapestry of mediocrity and bigotry struts the world’s stage in front of my eyes. LIttle wonder I retire to my cave more often these days. The world is going bonkus and we either sit watching or turn a blind eye to it. The view from #TheShot:

“We have undergone multicultural awareness training,” responds one of the judges.
And with that an entire courtroom of Indigenous people and their allies pisses itself with laughter.”

I stopped watching Insiders when Spears turned up and he was judged by me to be an incompetent useless idiot.
I have largely stopped watching the ABC for news content as all they seem to employ now are ex-Murdoch toadies who bring a right of centre agenda to almost everything … and, of course, the ABC being:
(1) totally unable to say the word ‘Genocide’ when ‘covering’ the Zionist wars in the Middle East; and
(2) institutionally completely afraid of its own shadow.I prefer listening to #TheShot #podcast and watching #SBS World News.

The royal commission into the hurt feelings of genocidal psychopaths
“The majority of testimony boiled down to one pathetic theme: discomfort at the sight of Palestinian flags and keffiyehs in public, but zero discomfort at the rivers of blood Israel continues to spill in their name.”

CW: AusPol "Difficult"ies
David Rayfield in The Shot today.
A great piece of writing contrasting the 2 hours it took Albanese to support a psychopath US President and the 24 hours it took to not-apologise to Grace Tame.
"Watching parents mourn their carpet-bombed children is difficult. Navigating societal systems that rely on misogyny is difficult. Reading about golden gifts being given to tyrants while struggling to pay your own bills is difficult. Teaching our kids to be responsible for their bad behaviour while grown men flaunt the exact opposite is difficult. On the other hand, recognising cowardice is the easiest thing in the world."
Go over and read #TheShot now.

If you can separate the attitudes of the LNP from the ALP, put one of them above the other. I am buggered if I can tell them apart.

Watching #TheShot / #TheSundayShot.
Great content, great guests.
The failures of internet connectivity between them all make viewing the show pretty unpleasant.
The failure to provide Australia with even quality late-20th century internet is on #TonyAbbott, #MalcolmTurnbull and their corrupt #LNP business-mates.
If this trash connectivity is normal on #Zoom etc then regular users have my commiserations.
For me, this Zoom-like format is currently too disjointed to watch for pleasure.

Free Palestine, is a political statement. Israel is committing genocide, is a political statement. From the river to the sea, is a political statement. Yet at every turn, the pro-Israel lobby reject rational thought, tightening the boundaries and continually herding any challenge or political pushback into an ever smaller circle until, as Orwell wrote in 1984, “Don’t you see the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

#RonniSalt #TheShot #Auspol #ConfusingDecencyWithAntiSemitism
“Protest signs held aloft saying, End the Palestinian holocaust, are reported, written down and counted as ‘antisemitic incidents’.”
…
“This is how smoothly and cleanly pro-Israel propaganda manipulates reality. Tiny twists of the narrative, until it becomes something it isn’t and nobody notices or questions the unseen twists along the way.”

Australian racism is a special kind of racism. It's racism by denial. If you ask most Australians if they are racist, they will reply with a definite NO, all the while spewing microaggressions and claiming an indigenous voice to parliament would be racist. Dave Milner sums things up pretty well.
