Thank you Eddy and David.

We have rapidly seen, without public consultation, the imposition of Segal as the supreme de facto public censor.

The Mayor of Marrickville has unleashed a force he thinks he can control. Instead he has elevated someone of a specific non-secular background to potentially have unlimited power over our discourse, overturning case law from our Judiciary which has found repeatedly that criticism of Israel’s government is not antisemitism.

I intend to establish the Ned Kelly Retrospective Party before the next federal election. Any ideas for a logo?

This type of article raises my temperature and makes me want to not cohere with anyone. Least of all Australian politicians and Zionist watchdogs.

Can we get a Count Binface here as Shooters/Fishers/Farmers, Legalise Cannabis etc don't do it for me.

The figure of 70,000 is a corpse with a name, identified dead, the vast majority civilians and most of them children. This is the figure used by the Gaza Ministry which has long been considered reliable even by US human rights and aid groups.

The current estimate of dead is between 700,000 and a million, most of them children. This is based on the kill-rate from October 7, 2023 and estimates by medical groups. In 2024 The Lancet medical journal estimated 300,000 dead by the end of that year. We are 18 months on from that with constant bombing and shooting, particularly of children, along with destruction of hospitals and imposed starvation, denial of clean water and shelter and murder of doctors, aid workers and emergency staff.

The colonial regime has also been poisoning land, sea and air with its use of White Phosphorus on the prisoners and other toxic chemicals which causes disease and death.

Children die faster than adults. We know there are hundreds of thousands rotting in the rubble, evaporated, shredded and they will not be named until the genocide is stopped and the Gaza Ministry can identify the living and compare records from 2023 when there were 2.3 million imprisoned in the Gaza concentration camp, half of them children.

The colonial regime in Tel Aviv also has that data because it issues an ID card to every single Palestinian, including those in Gaza but no doubt it will have a dog ate my homework moment. Still, we can be assured the Gaza Ministry has all names in safekeeping.

So, latest estimates are at least 600,000 dead and perhaps a million. The continued starvation, denial of medical aid, clean water, shelter and the particular targeting of children, creating the greatest number of child amputees in human history, for whom there are no painkillers, no anaesthetics, no antibiotics, is likely to add another 500,000 dead by the end of 2026, if not more.

I wonder what Segal accepts as a legitimate number of murdered prisoners, most of them children, in order for the terrorist colonial state to maintain its occupation of Palestine.
