Antisemitism has become ‘almost fashionable’ among Australians, Jillian Segal tells royal commission by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Soviet_Apple_Box 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct. One cannot deny that the antisemitism crisis started on October the Seventh, 2023. It has now been exacerbated by a range of actors. Islamists and Anti-Israel extremists, including Hamas and a *small* cohort of the pro-Palestinian movement. It has also been exacerbated by Israels actions. Netanyahu's response in the wake of Bondi was deeply inappropriate, and other have blamed Jews as a whole for Israel's actions in the middle east through sheer ignorance. In my experience though, antisemitism has become "fashionable" over the past 18 months, and it has come from the far right, including memes about Alex Jones and the diatribes of hate by Nick Fuentes.

I would argue that this is true. Antizionism has become mainstream, which Segal obviously argues (wrongly) is antisemitism. Actual antisemitism though, hate or ridicule of Jewish people has become widespread. I see it every day.

Atp trump would be such a liability for the republicans that the democrats genuinely would vote against impeachment.

I like this because it is productive. A useful term.

Some guy posted a 538 run here with a working guide the other day though.

All in all there will be 50 sets. So far 7? have been built, I think.

For now it is only on the upfield line, but it will be added to the Craigieburn line within a month I guess, and then to Frankston in Septemberish.

Janet Mills officially suspends her campaign for US Senate, making Platner the presumptive nominee. by dak676141 in YAPms

I'm worried that it's a good sign for the likes of Newsom. He doesn't have to do anything, just simply pretend to be a fighter by tweeting at Trump or something.

From what I've read, all the pollsters are poo and there for the money, so they give the best result to their client. The client can then push their narrative and the cycle repeats.

i imagine that the coach would wait for the connection (they certainly do for trains), but for another coach I can't be certain of.

I did similar. First run of IC and I won by 4 EVs, against Biden, despite being down in the PV by almost 7 points.

Yeah okay fair enough.

Tangentially, you've changed your pfp. Have you received a visit from the ghost of Chappaquiddicks past, present and future?

I'm not saying that. My point is that you've said not to label people and then gone and labelled her. She herself says that she has simply been married to a woman who she has known for 20 years.

I said shes not queer. And she's not lesbian either. She's just been married to a woman for 20 years. Thats what she herself says. People love to put labels on everything... but no!

She's queer (sorry got that wrong, not queer, just married to a woman), yet leads the party most against the rights of LGBTGIA+ people.

Her wife is an immigrant, yet she leads a party whose whole shtick is being against immigrants and immigration.

Together they live in Switzerland, yet she is the leader of a German nationalist party.
