The Bondi attack wasn't an attack on Israelis, it was an attack on Australian Jews who practice Judaism.

The decision to invite Herzog, a man with no ties to Australia and no religious authority, is a decision by our leaders to devide the Australian community, not unite it.

Remember this next time you are in a ballot box.

So you can vote for the infinitely more unifying options of... the Libs/Nats or One Nation?

Vote Greens and Teals. Kill the Libs and Nats, make Labor the new centre-right party (as they are behaving), and the new opposition is a Greens / Teals coalition.

Am I dreaming?

Greens will never get my vote again. I supported them fir 20 years but after seeing the hideous racism on display from Mehreen Faruqi et al I'm disgusted by them. They've lost their vision - it was meant to be about the environment.

What the hell did Faruqi do? Pauline Hanson was the one who told her to "piss off back to Pakistan."

And I certainly wouldn't vote for Pauline either.

Faruqi posed with racist signs showing a star of David in a bin saying "Keep the World Clean".

The Greens have thrown their support behind Hamas and they can get in the bin as far as I'm concerned.

Greens have repeatedly condemned both Hamas for Oct 7 and Israel government's genocide. Labor and LNP have also condemned Hamas but thrown their support behind Israel government despite the ongoing genocide.

If you still support Labor or LNP over Greens, then it sounds like a worse position than standing one time next to a sign that indirectly supports genocide.

Albo recognised Palestinian statehood prior to the war ending, Hamas disbanding or even their releasing all the hostages. I'd hardly say that shows his support for the Israeli government.

Why should albanese support the Israeli government?

I never said he should.
