Shout out to David Brophy for using his submission to troll Zionists about how they may fall foul of the laws they want to introduce.

" A rushed legislative process of this nature undermines confidence, increases the risk of unintended consequences, and does not assist community unity or social cohesion."

@DropBear Absolutism is behind laws which prosecute criticism of religion...and do away with fundamental rights. It's happening. @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com
It's strange @Tooden
Judaism is the religion of a tiny minority of Australians. Zionism isn't a religion at all. Yet Zionism (which pretends to be Jewish) is behind most attacks on our freedoms.

@DropBear The nuns used to say to us girls, "Empty vessels make the most noise", and I think that applies to Zionists. @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com
True @Tooden but we can't ignore them. If we don't fight back, they'll succeed by default.

@DropBear Definitely not. It won't be easy. They have a couple or few thousand years of experience. The writers of the Old Testament. They've been nursing their grievances for a bloody long time, in other words. @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com
@Tooden The intensity and viciousness of Zionist ethno-supremacism seems to be a relatively recent development.

@DropBear Perhaps it is because it is out in the open. Whatever the circumstances surrounding 17/10, they lied about it, and lied some more, and have continued to lie for more than 2 years - on top of the nearly 8 decades of lies that went before. They have been emboldened by the unstinting support from many vile governments (including our own). @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com
@DropBear @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com to a religious person being an Atheist is offensive.
"It’s so creepy knowing I share a country with people who want to destroy my right to normal political speech."
