(Jewish Group) Australian Royal Commission into Antisemitism

I'm not sure if anyone in the US has heard of it, but this is a result of the Bondi Massacre. Royal Commission's are slow-moving things, and the report won't be issued till late this year, but evidence has been happening over the past few days and some of it is heartbreaking. Two things from today have struck hard. The first is the fucker who was clearly trying to intimidate the Commission and was rightly arrested for it.

The second was the high school teacher who spoke of Year 10 students being rude to an elderly Jewish man who'd come to the school to talk to the kids about antisemitism and ended up being accused of being responsible for what was happening in Gaza. When the teacher complained about it to the school, she was told she was being too emotional.

If anyone wants to watch the Royal Commission, there's a livestream. With the time difference there might not be anything happening when American's are awake, but just in case....
