Brisbane's lord mayor hits out at the annual Queensland Music Awards in response to a winner at this year's ceremony.

The lord mayor is taking clear anti-Israel statements and falsely calling them antisemetic.

Compare this to calls for dismantling Apartheid South Africa or Nazi Germany being called anti-white. There's a clear, huge leap between denouncing a genocidal settler ethnostate and denouncing their founders' ethnicity.

Meanwhile on RN, David Marr is interviewing Omar el Akkard detailing the horrifying actions against Palestinians by the IDF, with the West's support.

The mild description of the IDF shooting the childs car moments after speaking with them, i found grotesque.

Late Night Live - Reckoning with the West, Omar el Akkard (abclisten)

Instead we silence and punish the most meager acts of support for Palestinians.

One day we will be forced to reckon with our complicity and support of the crimes being committed. We don't walk away from these lost innocents clean.

The civilians know what is up. All government figures call it antisemitism. Nice song by the way.
