In the first part of this series debunking the lies of the ‘pro-Palestinian’ lobby, we dealt with perhaps the most loathsome: feting the rapist butchers of Hamas as ‘resistance fighters’. In this second part, we’ll look at the most self-evidently silly: that Jews are somehow ‘settler colonialists’ in their
There are some mysteries that grip the public imagination for decades, not least unexplained ship or aircraft disappearances. As I’ve reported recently, shipwreck hunters have recently found the wreck of the WWII-era SS Arlington at the bottom of Lake Superior, while another deep-sea exploration team has found what may
Australian state governments too often like to use car license plates as banners for their Maoist little slogans. Especially in Victoria. They used to be just “The Garden State”, but in the last few decades, they’ve had “Nuclear Free State”, “Education State”, and so on. Still, not as embarrassing
Won’t somebody please think of the public servants? It’s not easy, you know, pulling in a paltry hundred grand a year, working flexi time, and gorging yourself stupid in Lambton Quay. (Just like Canberra and Hobart, it’s conspicuous just how many fancy cafes and bars tend to
“De-colonisation” is one of the latest buzz-words to take the place of thought in the empty heads of the left. Resentful Bungas who owe pretty much everything they have to colonisation have suddenly decided that biting the hand that gave them — at last count, modern medicine, science, an end to
So, what’s the next Current Thing going to be? Ukraine is so 2023, already. Even the anti-Semitic left are going to get bored with screeching at Israel, eventually (after all, being social media-motivated, their concentration spans rival a gnat’s). It’s as certain as the failure of socialism
Even by the standards of the Canberra Bubble, this one’s a jaw-dropper: disgraced former ACT director of public prosecutions Shane Drumgold has been appointed as a lecturer at Canberra University. Even more astonishing, he’s teaching a unit on the law of evidence. Which makes about as much sense
The Investigative Project on Terrorism has produced an excellent series debunking Palestinian propaganda. Unfortunately, the very people who should read such a series, won’t, but it’s worth summarising so that reasonable people can at least go into a debate with the “pro-Palestinian” lobby fully armed with the facts
For the past eight years, the chattering classes have constantly horked that this time they’ve finally got the Bad Orange Man. Even before Donald Trump was sworn in, they were screeching “Impeach!”, for what exactly, didn’t matter. Then it was a gaggle of preening Hollywood nitwits importuning the
My old mother always used to say, “A guilty conscience needs no accusing”. The wise saying, which possibly goes back all the way to Socrates, means that the guilty know they are guilty and a nagging conscience eventually shows itself. Moving on to another topic entirely, ever since the ASIO
No doubt all our mothers have asked us, at some stage: If your friends all jumped off a cliff, would you do it, too? The honest answer, of course, would be: Absolutely. That’s because children, teenagers especially, are tiny-brained followers with no concept of “consequences”. Just take a look
In Douglas Adams’ The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Milliways restaurant genetically engineers a bovine creature that not only wants to be killed and eaten, it’s sentient enough to tell you so. At least such a creature is under no delusions about its fate. That’s because
Well, it’s only taken them six months, but the corrupt, anti-Semitic UN has almost told the truth they desperately wanted to avoid: their beloved “Palestinians” are rapist savages. Of course, the UN is so corrupted that they can’t come right out and admit it. Instead, they copy the
Whenever you read breathless media headlines shrieking, “record temperatures!”, you should be deeply sceptical. Firstly, because “on record” almost always means “within the last century”; often as recently as the last fifty years. Secondly, because temperature records are invariably apples’n’oranges comparisons: from old-fashioned mercury thermometers to satellite laser-based
One of the most interesting outcomes from this weekend’s by-election in Victoria is just how each side is spinning it. The left-wing ABC is talking gloom for Labor, while the right-wing Australian is moping over the Liberals’ fortunes. So, what actually happened? As expected, Labor held on to the
Well, the spy boss still won’t tell Australians who the “traitor” who sat in Parliament is, but he’s at least graciously condescended to admit who he was spying for. Hold your breath, readers, it’s going to come as a shock. China’s leading spy agency has been
