When statements of fact are smeared as antisemitic, the only way to avoid accusations of antisemitism is to deny reality: a thread with examples and references. 🧵
Jillian Segal is the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism. In an interview yesterday she was asked to define antisemitism and she said she uses the IHRA working definition of antisemitism. The interview is here if you want to watch it:

@monothiest24 @6NewsAU @AlboMP I'm not sure if he said what his personal definition of 'terrorism' is, given what I've seen reported about the firebombing it doesn't appear that the forensic definition of 'terrorism' has been met.
@monothiest24 @6NewsAU @AlboMP Regarding David Wise and his bomb, the bomb squad confirmed that it fitted the forensic definition of a 'bomb', being a 'military style weapon' at the scene but NSW police later denied this, saying (in explicit contradiction to the Prohibited Weapons Act) that it wasn't. 1/

Are Aus charities and NFPs cooperating with Israel to use young Australians to occupy Palestinian land?
Evidence suggests that the Zionist Federation of Australia and the Jewish Communal Appeal may both be funding such actions.
See for yourself below and comment what you think.
Today I have lodged four official reasons for concern with the @ACNC_gov_au explaining my concerns and the evidence that has caused it. I'll go through the concerns regarding the @ZionistFedAus as a case study in this thread. Footnotes and links at end.

1/ Is Israel's ambassador to Australia, Amir Maimon, a war criminal involved in the Sabra and Shatila massacre?
I don't know, but my reasons for concern are in this thread.
PLEASE SHARE TO BOOST VISIBILITY
2/2/ Lieutenant Colonel (ret) Amir Maimon (28/08/1958) is the Israeli ambassador to Australia. He's on twitter, and if he wishes to clarify details following I would be more than willing to hear from him: @MaimonAmir
If you know specifics on deployment details please say so.

1/ Alright, finally have a minute to sit down and read the Summary of the ICJ Opinion.... Here's the link, and I'll post some excerpts and my layman's understanding here in case it's useful for others to have the cliff notes.
icj-cij.org/sites/default/…2/ So, the opinion is an answer from the ICJ about two questions asked by the UN general assembly. The questions were officially asked in Jan 2023, and they are:

1/ As Hash Tayeh waits to be arrested and our 'special envoy to combat Anti-semitism' prepares to go and listen to a guy say that criticism of Israel should result in prison, it's worth reviewing the IHRA working definition of antisemitism, supported by ECAJ and Dreyfus etc...

1/ POLICE ALLEGEDLY PROTECTING TERRORIST AND CAUGHT LYING. VIDEO AND EMAILS BELOW.
In Jan an extremist placed a bomb at my home in Botany, Sydney. Police appear to be protecting the perpetrator for unknown reasons, and they appear to be sweeping other bomb threats under the rug.
2/ I have accumulated some evidence of what may be police corruption occuring in the process of protecting this perpetrator, and as the tacit permission of such acts appears to be causing more to occur, it's imperative for public safety and national security that this be stopped

1/ Well... As the walrus said, the time has come to talk of many things. The following thread is a long one, but I'll do my best to make it worth your time and attention, perhaps even your efforts as well.
Read on...
2/2/ One of my favourite books is Ondaatje's first: it has some of the most wonderfully evocative descriptions of physicality I've ever come across.
He writes of a man employed building a bridge in Toronto before WW2. This man works from ropes, suspended in air, in heavy fog.

1/ Earlier this week Police told me that they had not decided whether the case of a bomb being planted at my home with the demand I remove my Palestinian flag should be referred to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions or not.
2/ Weapons charges have not been laid because, say police, the bomb was not a prohibited weapon of any kind due to a lack of remote detonation capability. This is explicitly contradicted by the Weapons Prohibition Act: "whether or not it is live, deactivated or is spent"

1. I had a bomb planted at my home because of my Palestinian flag on January 5, and I need your help. Please take the time to read this thread.
I have been asking the police for weeks to arrange a meeting with Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke, and am just being ignored. 2/ 2/ The email above was sent after the court mention on Wednesday. The only journalist in the courtroom was Serkan Ozturk, and no MSM has covered what happened.
Here is Serkan's article covering what happened in court:
1/ Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call, threatening that they would come to our house because of our Palestinian flag.
I googled the number and found it was a phone box up the road from our house, where my partner was alone, and I felt like I was going to puke.
2/ I have absolutely no doubt that the caller is connected to the bomb we had placed on our property at the start of the year.

1/ The day after Xmas a photo of our house along with my phone number and our address was posted to a private Facebook group called "Jews of Sydney".
The comments under the post were riddled with racist hate speech and dog whistles.
All of it under people's own names.
2/ The comment thread had already been partially sanitised before a whistleblower screenshotted it and got in touch with us two days after the bomb.
The whistleblower had given the information to police before us, they had not payed it any attention.
