American blogger John Kass is writing of the eruption of anti-Semitism on college campuses across the US, but his thoughts apply equally to Australia:
…You never hear in these anti-Israel demonstrations a hope for a two-state solution. No, only chants calling for Oct. 7 again and again.
The demonstrators’ stated target might be Israel but make no mistake, their hatred is also aimed at America and Western civilization. The U.S. flag has been burned. Chants of “Death to America” punctuate protests.
These poisonous demonstrations are deliberate attacks aimed at disrupting life and commerce in cities, interrupting public accommodations like highways and airports, shutting down education at campuses — and intimidating Jews in all walks of life.
Jews are told by authorities they’re unsafe on college campuses, and some flee. Think about that. We are witnessing organized mass bigotry on a scale not seen in this country since the days of Jim Crow.
These demonstrations are coordinated by radical organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine and funded by far-left groups such as the Open Society Foundations, according to an examination of financial records by the New York Post. Open Society was founded by George Soros, the billionaire whose pocketbook has helped elect anti-police and coddle-the-criminal prosecutors in major cities…

Brendan O’Neill on the presumptive arrogance of eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant:
…Imagine the precedent it will set if the eSafety commissioner wins out over X (they’re currently warring in court). Might other governments likewise demand the global obliteration of social-media clips they consider offensive?
Perhaps the Chinese government will instruct platforms everywhere to take down clips of violence from Tiananmen Square in 1989 – you know, to keep Chinese citizens ‘safe’ from such politically troublesome images. Maybe Iran will issue takedown orders for clips of its revolutionary guards visiting their theocratic violence on anti-hijab protesters. Giving local functionaries global power is a recipe for tyranny…
and on the motive of a Prime Minister whose government owes much to Labor voters in heavily Muslim electorates:
…In this case, it seems pretty clear that the allegedly Islamist nature of the attack is a key factor in the government’s desire to memory-hole footage of it. They don’t want Australians having an open, frank discussion about radical Islam and the social disarray it springs from. Hide the video, stop the debate.
