You can’t even make this up as satire.

“The Hijabi Lawyer” AKA Ramia A Sultan defends the two Sydney nurses filmed talking about killing Jews, arguing that the true victims are Muslims “entrapped” and victimised by Islamophobic media.

She’s a member of the Australian Palestine Activist Network board.

Compiling thread below on all the most deranged attempts to defend the indefensible.

Prominent Melbourne socialist activist Matt Chun defends the two Sydney nurses talking about killing Australian Jews by resorting to whataboutism about Gaza.

The left wing anti-Zionist Jewish Council of Australia put out complete non-statement “we await a full investigation with unedited footage.” Prominent Melbourne Palestine activist attacks Jewish Council, arguing the insane jihadist nurses were “provoked”

THREAD. Today I decided to browse Weibo, one of the biggest social media sites in China (600 million active users).

I was stunned by the rabid amount of anti-Semitism and anti-Western hatred on the site. Check out this post with 4500 likes:

Selection of top comments on Chinese social media giant Weibo when it comes to Israel.
''Israeli Jews are demons in human form.''
''Hitler is completely whitewashed.''
''Kill alL israeli Nazis.''
''Looking around the world, is there any decent religion that dares support what the Jews do? Evil, evil!''

This guy ''White Wolf in the Forest'' has more than 3 million followers on Weibo. He's talking about the Holocaust: ''We should be cautious about the massacre of the Jews.''

An Israeli dentist saved Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's life when he was desperately ill in Israeli prison.

Sinwar returned to Gaza in 2011 as part of a hostage exchange deal and ultimately planned the October 7 massacre. The Israeli dentist's nephew was taken as a hostage. nytimes.com/2024/05/26/wor…

“During the day you would treat them and at night you come home and cry,” he said. “That happened many, many nights. Once there was a suicide attack near where my parents lived. Sixteen Jews were killed. Who would not cry at night? When you see a small baby being lifted, who wouldn’t cry?”

Sinwar's brutality as a young Hamas counter-intelligence officer was legendary.

''In an interrogation after his arrest in 1988, he dispassionately described shooting one man, strangling another with his bare hands, suffocating a third with a kaffiyeh, and choking and punching a fourth before tossing him in a hastily dug grave. Records of the interrogation make clear that, far from being remorseful, Mr. Sinwar saw beating confessions out of the collaborators as a righteous duty.''

Strolled through the Gaza encampment at the University of Queensland in Brisbane Australia today

Local Trotskyist cult Socialist Alternative were selling books on communism by Lenin, Trotsky and Mao

Interesting signs at the UQ Gaza encampment - Trans Liberation Now, No Surrender To Fascism

Three seperate revolutionary communist organisations were present at the camp (SPLITTISTS!)

I was happy to see the writings of French communist philosopher Louis Althusser for sale. He killed his wife by strangling her in 1980

Domestic violence is okay as long as you’re a comrade

Thread on Refaat Alareer. I strongly disagree with his past statements defending October 7 and describing all Israeli civilians as combatants.

1. Refaat attacked the left wing Prime Minister of Nepal for condemning the shooting of Nepalis and other civilians on October 7

2. Refaat Alareer condemned Ilhan Omar and compared her to “an Israeli Nazi” because she denounced Hamas hostage taking and murder of civilians on October 7.

This is despite Ilhan Omar’s long record of criticising the Israeli government and supporting Palestinians

3. Refaat Alareer attacked the Prime Minister of Kosovo and Irish Foreign Minister simply because they condemned Hamas hostage taking and murder of civilians on October 7.

The Irish Foreign Minister was calling for a ceasefire on October 7 and Refaat condemned him for it

At the Mearsheimer event in Brisbane Australia, I asked John Mearsheimer why anybody should ever listen to him about Ukraine ever again considering he has been wrong about Ukraine every single time and now quotes Russian military bloggers like “Big Serge,” he just dodged response and claimed he has been proven correct in Ukraine because Ukraine is still suffering against Russia.

I’ll try get video up as soon as I get a hold of it.

Text of my full question:

In your infamous 2015 University of Chicago lecture, you dismissed the idea that Russia would ever try to ‘’conquer Ukraine’’ — arguing ‘’Putin is much too smart for that.’’

Then, in the lead up to the 2022 invasion, you argued, and I quote you word for word: ‘’What the Russians are going to do is CRUSH the Ukrainians. They’re going to bring out the big guns. They’re going to turn places like Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine into rubble. It will be like Fallujah, Mosul, Grozny.’’ You argued Western intervention would be pointless because Russia would level Ukraine and go nuclear against the West.

Then, in an interview with Chinese Communist Party controlled media outlet CGTN on February 23rd this year, you said, and again, I quote you word for word: ‘’Conventional wisdom in the West has long been that Vladimir Putin was an imperialist and he was determined to conquer Ukraine and make it part of a Greater Russia. There is NO evidence to support that.’’

So first, we were told that Russia and Putin will NEVER try conquer Ukraine.

Then you told us that Russia will CRUSH the Ukrainians.

Then, when Russia invades but fails to take Kyiv, you argue there is NO evidence Russia ever wanted to conquer Ukraine.

Your claim that there is NO evidence for that Putin is an imperialist completely beggars belief.

ONE, Putin claims Ukraine is not a country and has never existed as a country. He openly compares himself to Peter the Great while musing on territorial conquest. Here is a Putin quote: ‘’What was Peter doing? Taking back and reinforcing. That’s what he did. And it looks like it fell on us to take back and reinforce as well.’’ And while he muses about taking back Russian land, Russian military recruitment ads show Russian soldiers talking about the flats they will buy and occupy in Kyiv and Odessa.

TWO, Russian forces have systematically executed all Ukrainian cultural and civic leaders in every Ukrainian town that they have occupied. They leave behind mass graves, torture chambers and death pits.

THREE, Putin was indicted by the International Criminal Court for forcibly transferring hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia to be raised as Russian. Some three million Ukrainians have been deported to Russia, this is an act of genocide, an attempt to wipe out Ukraine as a nation and incorporate its children into Russia. For comparison: Nazi Germany deported about 200,000 Polish children for assimilation during the entire Second World War.

FOUR, Russia targets civilian energy infrastructure in Ukraine with the goal of making the country uninhabitable and ungovernable. They spent months last year boasting that they would freeze millions of Ukrainians to death.

So, my question. John, You have been wrong over and over and over again on Ukraine, blatantly wrong. You hang out with Victor Orban and quote crazy sleazy Russian military bloggers named “BIG SERGE” in your writings.
You’ve claimed to the New Yorker that Putin has never lied to other world leaders, you even said that Hitler only ever lied once or twice to other world leaders? You’ve burnt your credibility, why should we take anything you say seriously ever again?

He wouldn’t properly intellectually engage with my questions so I had to tell him the truth

Oh and the bloke sitting next to Mearsheimer is Australia’s own shittier version of him, Peter Varghese - Chancellor of the University of Queensland. He oversaw UQ’s attempt to expel me as a student for leading campus protests against the CCP
