Israel has done the world a favour by killing murderous Sinwar

Yahya Sinwar’s death could place the Israeli hostages in greater danger if Hamas chooses to take its revenge out on them, but it may also open opportunities to revive the stalled ceasefire talks.

7/1/24: ECAJ Co-CEO Alex Ryvchin in Sydney. After The Australian's reporting on southwest Sydney clerics giving hate-fuelled anti-Semitic sermons since October 7, the country's peak Jewish body is taking legal matters into their own hands, given the apparent inability of law enforcement to do anything. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has announced they will take legal action against the clerics. They are still in discussions with lawyers about the routes open to them, but one being considered and likely is via the Aus Human Rights Commission and Federal Court under the Racial Hatred Act. Given legislation is unfit for purpose and authorities unable to clamp down, the Jewish body has said they will go it alone. John Feder/The Australian.
