and…

“If the intention was to make Isaac Herzog feel at home by surrounding him with violent, racist thugs, then take a bow Chris Minns. Turns out the IDF isn’t just a genocidal army, it’s a mindset.”

#Authoritarianism & #fascism ‘happening right here’: #Greens

#Greens deputy, Mehreen Faruqi, is hounding state & federal #Labor over yesterday’s protests against #Herzog’s visit.

He says it “beggars belief” that the #NSW premier & NSW #police are justifying the actions of police.

He says the Muslim community has “known that we are second class citizens in this country for a very long time.”

New South Wales now is well down the path of a violent police state.” #auspol

#Albo you did this. You were warned about inviting #Herzog.

I truly believe you have ended your career in politics with your actions & inactions.

You’ll probably make things even worse as you try & weasel out of your responsibility for the police violence against peaceful protestors, who rightly don’t want a genocidal politician as a guest of yours in Australia.

You stand on the right side of history. Solidarity breaks the silence and exposes the genocide. Our just cause remains present before the world. It may not stop the killing immediately, but without it, the killing becomes easier and more silent.

Thank you to every voice with us.🫂🍉

An excellent summary by the ABC (I don't get to say that very often) reminding us the politicization of the Bondi attack continues with this #Herzog visit.

Assessments the incident was a politically motivated attack on Israel (is, not purely antisemitic) are being confirmed as the Australian govt elects to deprioritise Jewish safety in favour of expressing State solidarity with Israel.

It makes the obvious case one of the greatest risks to Jewish safety is their assumed association (per Zionist doctrine) with the rogue State of Israel, and hence vicariously responsible for its conduct.

This is clearly as wrong as it is dangerous, and is another reminder that in the calculations of the Albo govt Jewish and community safety comes second to solidarity with the extremists in Israel.

"But the Israeli president's visit in the next few days has now not only crystallised the divisions in the community. Very unfortunately, it has also represented a direct link between events that, until now, there have been considerable efforts to keep separate in the wake of Bondi.

That is, it has linked Israel's actions in Gaza to the antisemitic killings in Bondi."

He’s not travelling alone, of course. It’s a delegation

Be there. Bring friends!

Of course, it is obvious that Albo's judgement, the Governor General's weakness, pointless Labor backbenchers like Alicia Payne and insiders like Katie Gallagher are also being protested.
