Indonesia's support for Palesti e has never wavered...

If Indonesia’s support for Palestine never changes, why is Israel’s ZIM shipping company still reaching its ports?
On 14 August 2026, the Speaker of Indonesia’s People’s Consultative Assembly, Ahmad Muzani, stood before parliament in Jakarta and said something Indonesians have heard many times befor…

haven’t seen the film but i just read the poem and Odysseus told Penelope she *should* remarry if he’s not back in about 20 years. she doesn’t want to, largely because she’d have to leave her home, but also because the suitors are Worse

If I’ve a complaint about the Odyssey it’s honestly that Nolan softens Odysseus way too much.

He has Hector’s infant baby thrown off the walls of Troy and hangs all of his maids. He’s definitely not the type of guy to tell Penelope that she can remarry.

The mayor stopped it because the investors hadn't consulted with any of the local powerhouses with their own development plans.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case
Judge Breyer: Okay. Thank you very much. Juror 96, I think that you also have strong views. Could you set them aside? Juror 96: I believe that in a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict. However, in a civil trial, I feel I can set those views aside. Judge Breyer: That’s interesting. Juror 96: I’m happy to expand. Judge Breyer: Sure. Juror 96: I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race were Mr. Musk to be sent to prison. However, I don’t believe a loss of several hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil trial would be even a drop in the bucket to his wealth, so it doesn’t really matter. Therefore, I would be able to consider the facts.

Made me remember this classic:
THE COURT: All right. I’m going to excuse you. Juror Number 59, come on up. JUROR NO. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because — THE COURT: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty? JUROR NO. 59: It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people. THE COURT: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir. JUROR NO. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.

A Campsie real estate agent in Sydney's south-west was fined $35k for evicting a tenant on the grounds the landlord's relative wanted to move into the property.

No such family member ever turned up and the home was re-advertised the day after the tenant was evicted

1/2 The wonderful Loud Jew Collective has been designated not Jewish enough to speak at the Royal Commission, so it’s on us to spread their media release. The RC is promoting the establishment messaging and silencing dissent.

Media Release Loud Jew Collective condemns the anti-Palestinian racism on show at the Royal Commission On 1st May Loud Jew Collective (LJC) was told by the Royal Commission that "the Commissioner is not satisfied that LJC has a direct and substantial interest in the scope of the hearing and has refused LJC leave to appear at Hearing Block 1." This rejection is evidence of the irredeemably flawed state of the Royal Commission. A flaw confirmed by the relentless anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia that we have heard since the Royal Commission commenced this Hearing Block. Hearing Block 1 has been purportedly examining "the nature and prevalence of antisemitism in Australia" and hearing from "witnesses about their lived experience of antisemitism." LJC's submission focuses on the most prevalent forms of antisemitism that Collective members have experienced - that perpetrated by the far-right and by zionist Jews. It incorporates a witness statement by Collective member Anny Mokotow and attached expert evidence by historian Dr Jordana Silverstein. Anny Mokotow's statement explained that "As LJC, we have always resisted our identity being subsumed by the idolatry of Israel. The myth of the 'Jew' as 'special' has become a political reality even if it is based on the notion of victimhood. We, as anti-Zionists, who refuse to use victimhood as a right to superiority are now othered by our own 'people'." LJC's submission outlines many Collective members' lived experiences of antisemitism and situates this antisemitism within its appropriate contexts, demonstrating that in Australia it must be seen as a marginal form of racism. Proper focus must instead be placed on the founding racism - that faced by First Nations people - as well as on the racism faced by Palestinians, Muslims, Arabs, and other significantly marginalised groups. The Royal Commission's assertion that LJC's testimony is not relevant to their work in this Hearing Block is thus evidence of the anti-Palestinian racism at the core of both the Commission and Australian politics and media more generally.

It is clear that the Royal Commission is looking to further the narrative that is proliferating currently: that it is Palestinians and those who stand in solidarity with them who are the causes of antisemitism. Such racism would be laughable if it wasn't so violent. Because while this Royal Commission proceeds this year, continuing to centre narratives of Jewish victimhood and providing media fodder for permanent discussions of antisemitism, the genocide in Palestine continues and Israel's genocidal violence spreads across the region. Quote attributable to Gem Walsh, member of LJC: "LJC's rejection from the Royal Commission confirms that anti-Palestinian racism is embedded in the Commission's work. It confirms that anti-zionist and anti-colonial knowledge and truth-telling will be deliberately excluded". Quote attributable to Betty Buckrich, member of LJC: "We are very angry that the Royal Commission has decided to exclude those who refuse the primacy of narratives of Jewish victimhood and that they deem this perspective to be outside their "direct and substantial interest. The Royal Commission is demonstrating that it will be nothing more than a place for the airing of perspectives deemed acceptable to zionism". It is evident that the best we can hope for from this Royal Commission is that it goes the way of every other one and that its recommendations are ignored. And so this is an important reminder of the ways that significant Royal Commissions - most particularly the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody - are routinely not implemented. This is the racism at the heart of Australian life and it is this which must be addressed. Not overblown and inaccurate ideas of a proliferation of antisemitism.

VicPol have conceded the obvious, Hash's remarks are not antisemitic, his opposition to Zionism is not about the Jewish religion, but instead the mass murder and displacement of Palestinians.

VicPol must drop the charges against Hash Tayeh. End this farcical prosecution.
