And when a white Australian terrorist murdered 51 Muslims praying in a mosque in Christchurch, they did nothing whatsoever.
When a white man shot up Aus with semi automatic weapons the nation banned semi automatic weapons. When brown men shot up Aus with rifles, they banned the rights of the public to exercise peaceful protest & facilitated Islamophobia.

The government must not be rushed into adopting Segalโs โanti-semitismโ report. It is designed to suppress and penalise any criticism of Israel and the genocide in Gaza, a blatant attack on free speech.

An extraordinary turn of events. The chill wind of Trump litigation against media organisations working exactly as it is intended. And another example of the internal neurosis over a largely irrelevant Panorama edit resulting in *more* partial coverage of Trump, not less.
I wish I didnโt have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as โthe most openly corrupt president in American history.โ /1
