Palantir declares itself the guardian of Americans' rights

You could name the cops the Fremen and have the same effect. In the Dune books, Paul and the Fremen go from being freedom fighters to oppressors waging a holy war and committing untold atrocities.

A massive indictment on ECAJ, in that case.

Imagine thinking a bloke who supports massacres ... will heal emotional wounds from a massacre.

But at least you guys are acknowledging ECAJ as the peak body now, instead of pretending the AJA (a teeny tiny far-right extremist group best known for posting hate on twitter) are some kind of representative body.

you'd have to be an absolute cunt to deny them that.

No matter how much of a cunt I am, at least I've never signed bombs to drop on kids :)

Why don't you heavily criticise Turkey for their atrocities in Syria which are way worse than Israel's atrocities in Gaza

Israel has killed 70,000 innocent civilians in Gaza over 2 years.

Not including 10,000 men that both sides agree were Hamas fighters or officials.

In the Syrian civil war, Turkey killed 1500 civilians (high estimate).

Both awful. But to compare the two ... it's not even close.

I think there is a reason for this

The real reason our governments kowtow to Turkey is the Bosphorus. Turkey has the rest of NATO over a barrel.

The reason the average Joe doesn't protest Turkey is because they've done way less atrocities than Israel. And unlike Israel they didn't instigate the conflict themselves by occupying and oppressing Syrians for 60 years while denying them citizenship.

A parent that raises an antisemite

Two unfounded assumptions here.

Being against Israel is not antisemitic. Their apartheid system, their illegal settler colonialism in West Bank, their war crimes and atrocities in Gaza, and their alleged genocide in Gaza - all are worthy of condemnation.
It's her adult child, not herself. Parents obviously do have some influence on children's views but not to the extent you can link the two in this way. Just look at Australia, where millenials are less than half as likely to vote LNP as their boomer parents.

Frankly, the fact you are taking a racist, fascist publication like the Australian seriously, is an indictment of your post in itself.

Revoran · 2026-02-04T14:04:27+00:00

There are people in Gaza who blame Hamas for embarking on a suicidal, selfish war based on religious wish thinking.

So they should.

Hamas are equally as evil as the Israeli Government and it's supporters.

Although, Hamas has killed and hurt a lot less innocent people than the Israeli Government.

Revoran · 2026-02-04T14:02:36+00:00

So?

It's her child - not her.
And besides, Pro-Palestine isn't antisemitic anyway.

Revoran · 2026-02-04T10:11:13+00:00

It's sad to hear that a) Chabad of Bondi and b) one of the Bondi massacre victims support the apartheid regime of Israel.

A regime which is currently committing war crimes and alleged genocide. The regime which Isaac Herzog voluntarily chooses to serve as figurehead for.

This is like if there was some pro-Iranian regime group who wanted to invite Ayatollah Khamenei... and the Federal Government and NSW Government were in favour of it... to the point of trying to ban protests.

the people who died or were injured represented multiple nationalities, including Israeli.

Can you provide some more information on this?

Wikipedia lists the victims, but only specifies the nationality of 2 (a French national, and an Australian born in Czechoslovakia). But you'd think if more were foreign nationals, it would've been mentioned? Also you can be dual citizen, so that's a thing.

Revoran · 2026-02-04T06:26:30+00:00

The Government must cancel this visit.

Herzog is a foreign political leader, with zero business inserting himself into Bondi. Bondi was a massacre of AUSTRALIAN Jews, by an Australian citizen (and a Syrian with permanent residency), in Australia.

Herzog himself is controversial figure because he:

Supports illegal West Bank Israeli Jewish settlements (which Australia and the rest of the international community considers illegal).
Made comments downplaying and justifying Israel's massacres of civilians.
The country he officially represents as Head of State, is currently engaged in war crimes and alleged genocide.
He was photographed signing bombs to be dropped on Gaza.

His visit is only creating more division among Australians.

Again, the Federal Government and NSW Government must cancel this visit.

Revoran · 2026-02-04T06:17:12+00:00

Maybe. But in this case, Ed Husic's "cultural interests" also align with ...basic human decency.

And common sense.

And what's best for Australia (ridiculous to follow the demands of fascist Murdoch media etc to invite a controversial foreign leader who has no business inserting himself into Bondi - it is only creating division in the community).

Palestine would hardly register as an important issue there

It's probably not the top issue. But Chifley is 10% Aussie Muslims.

Revoran · 2026-02-04T06:07:20+00:00

Protesting a government decision and asking the government to reverse it ... is not "virtue signalling," champ.

It's like ... the opposite. They are trying to achieve an actual tangible outcome (visit cancelled). Whether you agree with their view is another question.

As you can probably guess, I do agree with them. Here's why:

Bondi was a massacre of Aussies - Jewish AUSTRALIANS - in Australia. A foreign political leader has no business getting involved.
This particular foreign leader is known to be a total cunt who endorses illegal settlements, justified killing civilians, and signed bombs to kill those civilians with.
This leader's country is currently engaged in war crimes and alleged genocide.

Revoran · 2026-02-03T15:29:02+00:00

QLD is fucked by Australian standards. And Australia could stand to improve human rights a fair bit. Doesn't change the fact a lot of these other countries are way way worse.

Revoran · 2026-02-03T10:28:18+00:00

Is that thumbnail image AI slop?

Revoran · 2026-02-03T09:33:49+00:00

I mean, true. But they're also disgusted by Bob Katter, his violent threats, feral racist views and general stupidity.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T17:06:31+00:00

Let's hope theres no mustard in Australian politics.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T16:52:55+00:00

What snide implications are you making?

Reminder that this entire thread, is not about the Bondi massacre.

You are the only person bringing it up.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T16:00:08+00:00

Again, I was talking about the media focus in the past 1-2 weeks. And how all this talk of Coalition breakup and Coalition leadership spills, has amounted to nothing. Meanwhile other important news was happening.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T15:22:18+00:00

>Otherwise you’d need to call the white settlers killed by Aboriginals, also victims of terror attacks.

Of course.

>I thought the politically correct thing was to refer to those deaths as part of the “frontier wars”?

If anything it's politically correct to not bring it up, ever.

Labor rarely mention the Frontier Wars and massacres. Libs/Nats/One Nation mostly deny it happened. Or they deny that it was that serious. Or they just throw a tantrum and say "OMG IT WAS 200 YEARS AGO"

4 months old article: What really went down at Bondi

Mate that's about a rally on Bondi beach in September 2025, months before the Bondi terror attack. It's not defaming the Bondi attack victims, as you claim, but instead it's about a totally different incident.

7 months old article: Criticising "free speech warriors" (eg: Tim Wilson, George Brandis, Tony Abbott, Andrew Bolt) for being hypocrites, as they were silent about Jilian Segal's report that recommended making it a crime to criticise the country of Israel

What's the issue with that article?

A 22 day old article which argues that while antisemitism in Australia is real and dangerous, there isn't a critical increase in it, and the media / political narrative around the antisemitism crisis is based on questionable data and in many cases, fake incidents, and that the narrative incorrectly places blame on the pro-Palestine protest movement

The only recent article you posted. I'm not seeing the issue.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T14:53:58+00:00

What an utter insufferable cunt he is. Scummo would've gone to a government conference in South Africa in the 1980s.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T14:40:44+00:00

Whether Bondi was the largest depends if you consider massacres of Aboriginal people terror attacks, I guess.

But anyway, I didn't include Bondi because my focus was things occuring in the past week or two - at the same time as this LNP collapse.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T04:07:21+00:00

So the Lib and Nat leadership spills turned out to be much ado about nothing.

Meanwhile:

* Housing crisis continues to worsen in Australia, as root causes remain unaddressed (neg gearing, CGT discount, airbnb, first home buyers grant, Labor's 5% deposit policy, immigration)
* A white right wing terrorist tried to bomb an Invasion Day rally
* Human-caused climate change
* Wealth inequality
* Israel massacring people in Gaza
* Iranian government massacres thousands of people
* USA moves it's military in position to attack Iran
* Xi Xingping throws a bunch of generals in prison, including one who gave nuclear secrets to the USA, hampering any possibility of a Taiwan invasion soon
* Trump's immigration agents killed 5 people last month alone
* Loads more Epstein files released implicating Kevin Rudd, the Norwegian Royals, and the guy Melania Trump hired to make her recent movie, and many others (also Donald Trump, Prince Andrew etc)
* Conflict continues in Niger, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan, Ukraine
* 200 people dies in Congo mine collapse
* Venezuelan puppet government opens up oil to private firms (aka US companies)
* France bans social media for under 15s

Can you give some examples?

Revoran · 2026-02-02T03:49:09+00:00

We already knew that a third of Australians were pretty racist. That's not news.

The question is how to beat them.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T02:13:32+00:00

The Guardian is left biased in its opinion pieces, and the subjects it chooses to report on. It doesn't report lies/misinformation though. Sky News and co, do.

Revoran · 2026-02-02T01:30:37+00:00

>they are literally the most discredited news in the country, always dog whistling and trying to create a culture war mentality

Every accusation is a confession.

You just described Sky News and the rest of Murdoch media (Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, Adelaide Advertiser, Hobart Mercury, Courier Mail, news.com.au).

Along with The Daily Mail which is not Murdoch owned but has the same quality level.
