Australia's "Antisemitism Envoy" Makes It Clear That Israel's Critics Are The Real Target Apr 26, 2026

Show notes

However bad you're imagining it is, it's worse. The handbook, set to be formally launched later this week under the title "Understanding Antisemitism in Australia," explicitly conflates antisemitism and antizionism with statements like "Antisemitism and antizionism are both expressions of hatred towards Jews" and asserting that it is antisemitic to accuse Israel of "apartheid, oppression, racism and genocide." Reading by Tim Foley.

Israel Apologists Lie About Their Feelings And Beliefs, And Other Notes Apr 25, 2026

Show notes

They do this all the time, with everything. They'll falsely claim pro-Palestine protests make them feel unsafe just to get laws passed to shut down the demonstrations. They'll pretend to believe that phrases like "from the river to the sea" and "globalize the intifada" are hateful slogans which encourage antisemitic attacks. They'll regurgitate ridiculous hasbara slogans like "human shields" and "world's most moral army" which they know for a fact are false. They just make whatever noises they need to make to keep the western weapons shipments heading to Tel Aviv. Reading by Tim Foley.

Former Israeli intelligence officer Ella Kenan was seen at a recent pro-Israel conference saying she runs an online influence operation that works with "communities of over sixty thousand people around the world that make our content viral" to manipulate public discourse and "serve the narrative" of Israel. I've been assured that this never happens and that it's antisemitic to say it does, but okay sure. Let's move on.

Biden Official: Biden Was Preparing To Bomb Iran If Re-Elected Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

These moves were planned years in advance, and would have been rolled out regardless of what impotent meat puppet happened to be wheeled into office in January 2025. You don't get to vote out an empire. Whether or not the US will continue working to dominate the planet will never be on the ballot. Reading by Tim Foley.
