Randa Abdel-Fattah has proven herself to be perhaps the most toxic individual in the Australian cultural scene right now.

After victimising the Jewish community everyday since October 7, she is now playing the victim and claiming "anti-Palestinian racism" ("Palestinian" is not a race).

Not only is she playing the victim, she's now weaponising the "free speech" argument. She and her cronies were NEVER in favour of free and open discussion, they're about bullying Zionists or anyone seen as Zionist-friendly until they back down.

Here's the true Randa, not the victim she wants you to see 🧵

1/ By 8 October, one day after Hamas terrorists committed their genocide, Randa changed her profile images to a Hamas paraglider—the same delivery method used by Hamas to infiltrate Israel and murder young people at the Nova music festival.

One of my most vivid memories of a music festival is Australia Day, 2011. I was 16, surrounded by sweaty, chemically enhanced bodies in the Boiler Room at Sydney’s Big Day Out. I’d taken the Greyhound two hours from Newcastle and blown most of my hard-earned waitress wages on a $200 ticket and a wildly impractical outfit that consisted of short shorts and a bikini top. I can still hear my dad’s voice, his typical humour ringing through: “Where’s the rest of that?”

Met a guy who lives and works in Qatar, on The Pearl. I'd never met anyone who lived in Qatar before. It was fascinating to hear about the inner workings of this made-up country. He described it as a huge Ponzi scheme, where the government (the royal family) has created these fake public service jobs to provide work for the filthy rich, native Qataris (who are a minority of the population). As the population has gotten bigger, however, they've run out of jobs to give people.

There are only so many "Minister of Pavement" roles you can create. But Qataris can't go unemployed, so the government introduced quotas.

The problem is, Qataris are entitled and lazy, and demand huge salaries. A business gets far more bang for their buck hiring a foreigner. So to evade the quotas, businesses attend Qatari graduation ceremonies with goodie bags filled with new iPhones, laptops and luxury watches, and poach new graduates to sign on to be an "employee" for a lower salary, on the proviso that they DON'T work. Btw, I call it a "made-up" country. This guy tells me that Qataris actually do have their own culture to some extent.

This guy I talked to is an Israeli with dual nationality, which he uses to work in Qatar (despite Qatar actually doing a lot of business with Israel, using their tech etc).

I asked him whether he had to hide the fact he was Jewish or Israeli-- he said yes, but he wasn't scared. It didn't seem to bother him. He said the most dyed-in-the-wool anti-semites were the British-Pakistani expats. Aside from them, no one seems to care that much about Israel or Jews. There is such a low crime rate because if you are even suspected of misbehaving the government will kick you out. So there are no raucous pro-Palestine rallies, but you do see a few Palestine flags around.

When I asked why the Qatari regime was so anti-Israel, he said that it wasn't such a deeply-held theological or political belief (like with the Iranian regime, for example). It was simply that Qatar saw siding with Iran in the power battle between Iran and the Saudis as the preferable choice, so they leaned in to the anti-Israel stuff.
