Great shirt

Segal is seemingly an agent of a foreign power ... and we know which one.

hellcatxyz.bsky.social•12 days ago

More like obviously

Not a Brandt fan but this conflation of protest against Zionism and genocide with antisemitism sickens me. That they either can’t or won’t see parallels with how Jews were treated and what is happening in Gaza beggars belief.

Segal is just being obtuse if she won't distinguish between criticism of the Israeli government and antisemitism.
But I guess if the gig pays well enough, why would she?

I could imagine this being litigated.

Barbara Pocock would be a great as the the Leader of the Greens.

One of the most articulate people in Parliament…

squiggleysam.bsky.social•13 days ago

I would love this. The greens need to be led by a woman.

mstefanakis.bsky.social•13 days ago

She has been brilliant in senate estimates. Would be a most worthy leader.

ladystardust64.bsky.social•13 days ago

Agree. Pocock is principled but does not present as 'extreme'. I find her one of the most plain-speaking, common-sense politicians in parliament.

arthurnorman2.bsky.social•12 days ago

Palestinians are Semitic....the zionists are practising antisemitism through theur genocidal practices in Gaza

terry1956.bsky.social•13 days ago

Zionists weaponising anti Semitism against anyone who condemnes Genocide, wouldn't put it past Zionists using Nazi wankers and criminals to create the anti Semitism in the first place

Who do you think started the Synagogue fire?...........A VERY well organised professional group of bad actors !!! Whom the AFP will never find!!! Starts with an M, finishes with a D !!!...........

Good on Barbara!

peggysanders.bsky.social•12 days ago

Wish Barbara Pocock was leader of Greens.

Australia could use her voice right now. An outstanding Statesperson.

monalisamelbourne.bsky.social•12 days ago

Jillian Segal's carpet-bombing accusations of antisemitism against anyone who speaks about the Palestinian genocide are grotesque. A shrill propagandist for Israel. No credibility.

So blessed with Pococks are we.

squiggleysam.bsky.social•13 days ago

Maybe only Pococks should be allowed to run.

Albanese’s pick is a Zionist propagandist and is unfit to hold any government position.

thank you for this clip 📌

fraucernik.bsky.social•13 days ago

Barbara Pocock was totally correct 👍 👏👏👏

erpaco.bsky.social•12 days ago

Well said. Criticising Israel for the war crimes & genocide it is committing is not Antisemitism, it is stating a fact.

rebtoz.bsky.social•12 days ago

That's how it works. Cast a false accusation at someone without being accountable gives credence to the charge. Mud sticks & that's the idea. Authority should hold her to account but it appears they're too scared to. Condemning a genocide is not antisemitic but pro humanity. Politicising suffering.

lordsedgwick.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's instructive to compare the platform and coverage afforded the Antisemitism Envoy to that of the very belatedly appointed Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia.

rb-citizen.bsky.social•13 days ago

Bandt should sue her ass off!

She is correct
It is NOT anti-semetic to CONDEMN OCCUPYING APARTHEID ZIONIST ISRAEL OF WAR CRIMES!

Starvation WAR CRIME

Genocide WAR CRIME

Ethnic Cleansing WAR CRIME

Collective Punishment WAR CRIME

@australianlabor.bsky.social
@albomp.bsky.social
COMPLICIT BY SILENCE OF NOT CONDEMNING!

random-sarah.bsky.social•13 days ago

10000% agree with Barbara Pocock

ladystardust64.bsky.social•13 days ago

Pocock is 💯% correct.

robstowasser.bsky.social•12 days ago

Pope Bob is calling for an immediate cessation of the carnage in Gaza as did his predecessor. Albanese is Catholic. Wonder how he would feel if his antisemitism envoy labeled the Pope antisemitic for sympathising with the Palestinians.

lovenotgreed.bsky.social•12 days ago

Leo?

robstowasser.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes sorry. His Christian name is actually Robert. I’m taking liberties here.

peggysanders.bsky.social•12 days ago

Like Pope Bob. Like it a lot. 👍🏽😁

robstowasser.bsky.social•13 days ago

She’s damn right too. The use of the word antisemitism as a slur in order to shut down valid criticism of Israel’s reprehensible actions in Gaza is unacceptable. Bandt should consider legal action.
