(not the only point but) extracts from a murdoch attack on Jewish writers at the 2024 AWW - Jewish writers of immense international stature like Ilan Pappe and Ben Saul - again show how startlingly willing zionists are to amplify antisemitic sentiment.

"Australia is told [of] an unprecedented wave of antisemitism, a crisis requiring extraordinary measures, including a Royal Commission. But police data, court findings, and parliamentary evidence tell a very different story"

Antisemitism crisis. What is real and what is not - Michael West
Anthony Albanese has announced a Royal Commission into the Bondi Attacks and antisemitism. Is Australia's antisemitism crisis exaggerated?

the issue is instrumentalisation of antisemitism allegations to silence criticism of Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Royal Commission TORs legitimise baseless accusations, inflated claims, and outright fabrications.

Himalayan riders are stubborn: we love our trusty 411s even as Royal Enfield dangles the shiny 450 in front of us.

In this week’s video I spell out why Billie my Himalayan—after 60 000 km together—still beats an upgrade… for now.

'The formal complaint, lodged with the president’s trade chief on March 11, calls for tough action to end the “damaging pricing policies” in Australia & other countries in order to add billions of dollars to exports & fix America’s trade deficits.'
