My latest op-ed (after a tad hiatus) in The Canberra Times is out today! Commenting on the "hotties list", I argue that, rather than blaming the culture of solely the APS, we "we might instead turn our attention to universities." www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8403690/

Where did the 'hotties list' authors come from?

It's not just the APS who has to answer for this.

I am going to lose my mind. The people equating Hamas and all Gazans are elected officials with considerable power over how many of the latter are killed. The people upholding Hamas are random college students.

I am not thinking about the Roman Empire that often, but I am constantly thinking about the 1970s and the bizarre stuff that went down in that decade.

Whether genocide is taking place in Gaza is not up for debate. Whether Israel is responsible for systematically killing Palestinians is not up for debate. Whether the US and its propaganda machine are complicit is not up for debate.

Interrupting the current farce in the House are Jewish Voice for Peace activists staging a protest to demand a ceasefire in the Cannon House Office Building rotunda. (Photo from CNBC reporters on scene)

A picture of the Cannon rotunda. There is a large group of Jewish Voice for Peace protesters in black shirts holding signs that say things like "Let Gaza live" "ceasefire" "Philly Jews say Never Again Is Now" "Mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living." They fill the middle of the rotunda, many are sitting down. There are folks on the edges in yellow vests who I believe are law enforcement but may be marshals/observers/press? My eyes aren't that great.
