@zei_squirrel
John Mearsheimer is asked if he believes Hamas are pure evil irrational spawns from hell whose attack on October 7th was motivated by anti-Semitism. He responds: That's absurd Israeli propaganda, they did it to resist the occupation and brutal treatment of Palestinians pic.twitter.com/fwwa8loxyT

Media Watch on journalists in Gaza and Lebanon – and the discussion
@jaysongillham
Good to see @ABCmediawatch showing up for their journalist colleagues in Palestine and Lebanon.
If this had been reported properly and consistently in the Australian media in all the months leading up to my concert on 11 August, what I said would simply have been common⌠https://t.co/l5EJplfrG6
