Under the new Australian government hate speech laws, you could theoretically mutter something negative about Islam to yourself in your own home and be sent to prison for 5 years as a result The legislation clearly states that NOBODY actually has to feel intimidation and fear based on your actions or comments - it’s enough that a HYPOTHETICAL reasonable person would feel intimidation and fear if they hypothetically heard the comment

I always say Israel is losing the PR war, but have a read at this...……. Mitch Schneider October 10 at 12:09 PM “I keep hearing that Israel "lost the PR war." And you know what? Fine. Sure. Whatever. The world thinks we're monsters. The UN passed over 30 resolutions condemning us. College campuses exploded with protests. "Genocide" trended on Twitter for 700 days straight. We lost the PR war. Congratulations to everyone who won it. Now let me tell you what we won instead. Two years ago, my country was surrounded. Hezbollah had 150,000 rockets aimed at us from the north. Hamas controlled Gaza with an army in tunnels beneath it. Iran was months from a nuclear weapon. The Houthis were firing missiles at our ships. Assad's Syria was an Iranian highway. Iraqi militias were itching for war. We called it the "ring of fire." Iran spent 40 years building it. Billions of dollars. Endless weapons. Thousands of fighters. All of it designed for one purpose: to destroy Israel in a coordinated attack. October 7th was supposed to be the beginning. Hamas attacks from the south, Hezbollah from the north, militias from the east, Houthis from the sea. The final war. You know what happened instead? Israel dismantled the entire thing. Piece by piece. Threat by threat. Not in some distant future. Not "eventually." In two years. Nasrallah spent 32 years building Hezbollah into the most powerful non-state military in the world. Israel killed him in his bunker and took out his entire command structure in weeks. Hezbollah isn't weakened. It's finished. Iran built a nuclear program for decades. Israel set it back years. Killed their top scientists. Destroyed their facilities. Made the regime so weak that its own people are revolting. Assad survived a civil war, Russian intervention, and American strikes. He couldn't survive losing his Iranian backers. His regime collapsed. The land bridge is gone. The Houthis thought they could close the Red Sea. Israel crippled their long-range capabilities and neutralized the threat. Hamas? Sinwar died in rubble clutching a stick. Haniyeh was eliminated in Tehran. Deif is gone. The tunnels are destroyed. And this week, Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and the release of all hostages. Read that again. The terrorist organization that started this war by massacring 1,200 people just agreed to release every hostage and accept a ceasefire on Israel's terms. So yeah. We lost the PR war. I'll take that loss. Because here's what we gained: My kids don't have to run to bomb shelters anymore. The north is being rebuilt. Hezbollah's rockets are gone. Iran's nuclear threat has been pushed back years. The tunnels under Gaza are rubble. The "ring of fire" is extinguished. And now? The hostages are coming home. There's a ceasefire. The fighting can finally end. Two years ago, we were facing an existential threat. Today, we're the dominant power in the Middle East. Here's the thing about the "PR war" - it's a luxury. It's what people with security worry about. It's optics. It's perception. It's whether someone with a blue checkmark likes you. Israel doesn't have that luxury. We never did. When people scream "genocide," we're preventing one. When they cry "disproportionate," we're stopping rockets. When they demand "ceasefire," we're rescuing hostages. While the world was busy judging us, we were busy surviving. And not just surviving. Winning. Fundamentally, decisively, historically winning. Iran's 40-year plan to surround and destroy Israel? Over. The axis of resistance? Shattered. The greatest coordinated threat in our history? Defeated. So let me ask you something: Would you rather win the PR war and lose your country? Or lose the PR war and secure your existence for the next 50 years? Because that's the actual choice. And Israel made it. Again. The world can have its hashtags. We'll take our sovereignty. They can have their protests. We'll take our security.

This is for Kfir and Ariel Bibas. They were ten months and four years old. They were murdered for being Jewish.

Hey @abcnews, a message from the Jewish community. Neither Sarah Schwartz nor the self-titled 'Jewish Council of Australia' represent us. They do not represent the majority of Jews in this country. Stop using her and them as the yardstick of what Australian Jews see, think, feel or want. Stop using them at all.

Australians shocked to see a young Albanese at a pro Hamas rally giving a hateful anti Jew speech. No wonder we have, caravans filled with explosives. Fire bombings. Vile Jew hating graffiti. Violent Muslim protests chanting gas the Jews. A weak insipid Anthony Albanese has destroyed Australia. Let Dutton put Australia back on track.

Media reports today that the neither the national security of committee of cabinet nor even the Prime Minister were briefed on the Dural terrorism incident are shocking. Anthony Albanese must explain today why Chris Minns knew and he did not.

It is clear we have a campaign of terror targeting Australia’s Jewish community. Every law enforcement and intelligence resource must be deployed to combat it. This will continue until the terrorists responsible are arrested, convicted and jailed.

Right now there is a serious anti semitic incident in Australia on a daily basis. Life for Jews in Australia is subtly and not so subtly different to life for other Australians. Our schools are protected by armed guards and barbed wire, when any Jewish community org holds an event it withholds the address until a few hours before the event and the event is manned by volunteer security guards, Jews have been doxxed and subject to vile harassment for being Jewish, community members are in a state of siege and fear. We are a community of 120,000 that was largely established from the ashes of the Holocaust 80 years ago. That includes my family; my mum survived the Holocaust and arrived in Australia with the tiny remnants of a large extended family in the late 1940’s. We have given a lot to Australia as a community and received much in return. Our contribution includes two heads of State, a High Court Chief Justice, Australia’s greatest soldier and a Federal Treasurer as well as many others who have transformed the country in the arts, law, business and the community sector. Social cohesion in Australia is at an all time low and a tiny community making up 0.5% of the Australian population is in the firing line. It is completely legitimate to hold varying views on the war that has taken place between Israel and Hamas and the other Iranian proxies. It is not legitimate to glorify savage attacks on civilians and it’s certainly not legitimate to take the hatreds from the Middle East and create a climate of fear for the Jewish community in Australia. There have been some remarkable displays of support for the Jewish community from a wide cross section of Australians. To those who have sat on the sidelines to date we need your solidarity and explicit support. These actions by anti semites are not acceptable in Australia. And to those who are going to reply with “what about the people of Gaza”, my heart breaks for innocent civilians that have suffered in Gaza and other parts of the Middle East.

Yesterday at the University of Notre Dame, @GovRonDeSantis discussed why college campuses in Florida were not plagued with student encampments. "If any of our universities turned into Columbia, the university president would lose their job the next day. It would be done. We would not ever tolerate the inmates running the asylum." DeSantis spends a few minutes examining the claim that Palestine is "occupied" to expose how pro-Palestine clichés "betray their ignorance." "If you find yourself out there saying somehow 'end occupation,' I would just like to know when there was some type of Palestinian [state]. I think it's all people that don't know their history. I think it's kind of like the Left Wing Cause Du Jour."

Bill Clinton On the Palestinians: “And the only time Yasser Arafat didn't tell me the truth was when he promised me he was gonna accept the peace deal that we had worked out, which would have given the Palestinians a state on 96% of the West Bank and 4% of Israel, and they got to choose where the 4% of Israel was. So they would have the effect of the same land of all the West Bank. They would have a capital in East Jerusalem. I can hardly talk about this…. And they would have equal access all day every day to the security towers that Israel maintained all through the West Bank up to the Golan Heights. All this was offered, including, I will say it again, a capital in East Jerusalem and 2 of the 4 quadrants of the old city of Jerusalem, confirmed by the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, and his cabinet. And they said no. And I think part of it is that Hamas did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. They wanted to kill Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable. Well, I got news for them, they were there first before there was their faith existed. They were there. In the time of King David, in the southern most tribes, Hadjardia and Samaria.”
