  1. Too late. Allowing this kind of hateful rhetoric to spread unchecked is exactly how we got to the point where terrorist acts like the Bondi shooting were allowed to happen. The damage is already done.

    What an awful headline. It’s ‘globalize the intifada’ and ‘river to the sea’.

  3. Better late then never I suppose

    Edit: I’m referring to the ones mentioned in the article (aka the ones which encouraged and led to direct violence and death)

  4. This is insane. All free countries should strive for free speech. You should never go to jail for merely expressing an opinion.

  5. Aussie gov’t:

    1. Recognize the state of Palestine, with conditions that will never be met.

    2. Experience “Palestinian resistance”

    3. Ban the “pro-Palestine” slogans.

    Are we finally starting to realize maybe it was never about “Palestine” at all was it. It’s Islamic supremacy.

    Slogans are bad but mass slaughter is perfectly fine. You just have to shake your head and wonder, eh?

    That took all of five minutes to get my comment shut down. No free speech of any kind here in the West.

  8. Also watermelons are now offensive.

    This guy was a student.
    Paid by libraries to read books to kids for extra $$$.
    Kids and parents loved him and sent.him cards and art work.
    He was told he had to wear a melon costume instead of the watermelon costume he had worn for years as some now found it offensive.
    He refused and so lost his job.
    Crowd fund raised over $50K in a couple of days for him.

  9. Well so much for freedom of speech (and yes, I know that’s in Australia so they never had it to begin with)
