In response to Weaponisation of ‘antisemitism’ hides primitive savagery of Palestinian genocide

Antisemitism and genocide

Every politician (except The Greens) and every university chancellor and vice-chancellor should be compelled to read John Menadue’s article “Weaponisation of ‘antisemitism’ hides primitive savagery of Palestinian genocide” every day before breakfast.

They should also have to read Senator David Shoebridge’s statement, “this isn’t about a political stance – this is about when you see a genocide happening in real time on your phone and on your TV, when you see thousands of children being killed, when you see starvation being used as a weapon of war, you have this, I think, basic human responsibility to do everything you can to stop it. And if you take a political hit from some people because you do that, well, you take the political hit. Because you have to speak up.”

This should be mandatory until there is action on Israel’s genocide in Palestine… because the politicians are the people who have the power to act as so many Australians want them to, in order to end the actions of this murderous regime. BDS now!
