I don't write a lot of letters to pollies, nor do I usually attend protests. This time however, I'm writing to my Vic senators, buying a keffiyah (kufiyas.org.au) and turning up, whether it's declared illegal or not. I've had a gutful with these dickheads (the ALP) and am disgusted that they are pandering to the murderers.

Hard to comprehend a Labor leader kowtowing to a murderous regime of fanatics and stoking the fires of division. He’s either unutterably stupid or the Zionist lobby owns him. Either way, this will not end well

These are the only two possibilities . Both may well apply πŸ™„

Bloody woeful, hey?

Treating us all like mugs.

To think they declined a Palestinian writer in the Adelaide writers festival because it might upset a few Zionists, then invite the perpetrator of a holocaust to Australia is the biggest hypocrisy ever . This is disgusting, we all need to go to the airport to extend our anger . Albo has lost any credibility or moral character, he is paid by the Zionist lobby who seems to be controlling Australian common sense .

Thank you ,Joel , for this essential and important contribution . My disgust and contempt for this government’s

grovelling appeasement of Zionism , and its servile obedience to the orders and demands from Zionist lobby groups continues to plunge to the depths . Democracy and sovereignty are being traded in for goodness knows what threats that might apply if orders are not obeyed . A secular, multinational society is being denied the right to express legitimate opinions

or gather peacefully in public to do so . Any shred of social harmony is being torn apart by the socially divisive

legislation now being hurled at the Australian public . This while the government refuses to mention or condemn the genocide that is occurring in Palestine . Albanese’s β€œhonoured guest” has been photographed signing bombs to be dropped upon Gaza and Palestine . Apparently Zionists are seen as being above any laws that apply within this country , and the planet.

Great piece, Joel! Fave bit: 'Remember when PM John Curtin invited Himmler for a state visit because the Australian-German Nazi community demanded it smack in the middle of WW2? Nope? How about when Malcolm Fraser invited brother number two from the Cambodian Khmer Rouge regime to ensure pro-Khmer Rouge supporters felt safe in Australia? Didn’t happen, did it? So why did Albanese shit the bed and invite Israeli President Herzog for a state visit while Israel commits genocide and twists the arm of the collective West into World War III with Iran? '

NSW government follows Federal on this, and is similarly legislating various bans on peaceful, non-inciting political expression, ostensibly to protect the feelings of Zionist ideologues supporting ICC war criminals, but I suspect as a convenient excuse to criminalize political dissent in Australia. Here's NSW's latest authoritarian suggestion (and answer #78 to 'why do voters move away from the LabLibs): https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/ladocs/inquiries/3167/Report%20-%20Measures%20to%20prohibit%20slogans%20that%20incite%20hatred%20-%20January%202026.pdf

Again, spot on Joel. The Australian government’s total disregard for the lives of innocent Palestinians makes me utterly ashamed to call myself Australian
