That Albanese has handed so much power to the UNELECTED Jillian Segal and her fellow Zionist lobby groups and donors is an attack upon the very core of democracy , and a betrayal of all Australians who are appalled at the genocide being committed by

the Zionist Israeli government . Does this woman applaud , and find perfectly fine the wilful slaughter of Palestinians and

Lebanese civilians , and where is her defence of these crimes against humanity ? Legitimate polls have found that around 78% of

Australians are against the genocide , as any normal person would be . This leaves the question of why Albanese , Minns and other

Premiers are so eager to grovel to the Zionist agenda . How very dare they entertain any consideration of a special police force to protect

Zionist members of the community !! Not to mention the power given to Segal to dictate what schools and universities can teach or discuss . This is fascism on steroids , and will stain the legacy of these Australian governments in perpetuity .

The farcical imitation of a “Royal Commission into antisemitism “ is another disgrace , apparently planned and produced by the Zionist community and lobbyists . Shaming this nation and all Australians.

There is a huge hole in Segal where her morality and humanity should reside - deficient, mendacious and dangerous- a viper installed wilfully in the halls of Australian power by Albanese, who has bought into US / Israeli colonialism as he pretends to be progressive. Nobody buys it

One look at this woman , even before she opens her malicious , mendacious mouth , is enough to read her

accurately. The power she exalts in holding over Albanese shames this country . How is it that we are being

governed in both domestic and foreign policy by a foreign state ??? Are there not words for this policy choice by the Prime Minister ? Has he not noted what has happened to Starmer in the UK ??

Gaza is the test to see how much we will stomach, 300,000 marched on the harbour Bridge calling for a stop to the genocide. Yet it means nothing -

compassion for Palestinian children is considered subversion at state and federal levels - and they will come after you legally if you are considered subversive, all in the name of social cohesion- as we slide gently towards the fascist cliff ….

First Nations communities in Moree are being monitored by surveillance drones now - and the roll out of these AI powered “law enforcement devices” is on its way apparently ( first it will be aboriginal communities, then they will work their way up the social construction ladder, but probably not in Sydneys eastern suburbs or other affluent, leafy enclaves )

We will not escape the brutality of Gaza - it just might take a while

we have the illusion of democracy only

Pretty obvious that the RC was set up to achieve exactly what it's shitting out.

Jillian Segal is a current board member of the Weizmann Institute of Science.

The Weizmann Institute through its involvement in the development of Israel’s military drone program is therefore involved in the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinian children, Palestinian and international doctors, journalists and International NGO humanitarian relief workers.

Segal and her husband have a trust fund that makes large donations to Advance Australia, an extreme right-wing organisation that promotes hatred and divisiveness in Australian society.

Why does Australia give someone involved in genocide and hate speech a special voice on what is considered hate in this country?

I have been sporadically following the RC online. Hon Bell seems efficient enough, but the preferential and selective forensic questioning by counsel is maddening, and I cynically suspect the outcomes are somewhat predetermined. (What bet on a recommendation for an oversight body for ABC and SBS.)

As with events across the world, specifically in America, I remain clueless as to the cause of these attacks globally. Yes there are lots of informed opinion about Zionism's influence around the world, right wing crazies funded by billionaire crazies, tech billionaire crazies living their best liberalism ideals to run the world, Islam is conquering Europe, Trump - an 80 tear old man - is doing all that he ostensibly does, it's the Epstein files stupid, the Australian American alliance is sacrosanct, China is out to get us etc.

So many dynamic threads possibly interwoven rather than separate. What is a conspiracy theory and what is the simple explanation.

Some of many questions not answered (in general, not by this excellent column specifically):

Why did AA and the ALP (state and federal) suddenly become supporters if Zionism? Perhaps they already were and events surfaced their allegiance. Mossad compromat or American orders seem to belong in a spy novel over plain stupidity.

Why did congress relinquish its responsibilities to Trump (and his cabal)? Which to believe among Epstein files, lobbyist ownership, gangster threats, Mossad compromat etc. In this case it us hundreds if elected representatives. Can stupidity be the explanation?

Why do Farage, Hanson, others in Europe get to hang around for so long? Right wing billionaire agenda or are we stupid?

She has nominated herself, someone directly involved in the genocide (Weizmann Inst. board member), to oversee both broadcasters with the power to determine their funding.

‘kn oath!

So we do something.

Write your Labor member or Hon Dr Aly, Minister for Multicultural Affairs (anne.aly.mp@aph.gov.au) and explain the in-appropriateness of the envoy’s involvement in public policy.

As you demonstrate: reprehensible from top to bottom, and cynical in their manipulative manouevres.

It’s pretty simple. Zionists equal genocide. The end. Sanction, prosecute, and imprison those who have murdered, bombed, maimed, tortured, raped, and created ecocide in Gaza. The crime scene has so much blood spread across it, no amount of ‘Royal Commissioning’ is ever removing the stain.

Spunty's avatar

The RC is there to supply the means to cover up the stain. There is no will to clean it up.

VERY…disappointing.

Can the question be asked why, after 8 days, has the transcript of the hearings from July 9th not been published? Transcripts from the next hearing block are already online. The reason of “it undergoing routine administrative processing” is an obvious lie. More like Jillian Segal and her crew of taxpayer funded lackeys have told the government to hold it up and like good little zionist sympathisers they’ve done exactly that.
