- "He's trying to capitalise on these heinous murders in Australia and I think it is nothing less than disgusting."
When Novara Media's Kieran Andrieu went on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday night, he slammed former IDF colonel and spokesperson Jonathan Conricus as a "bad liar".
Why? Because Conricus was once more attempting to say there was no evidence of Israel's genocide — all while trying to politicise the massacre on Bondi beach.

- Description
- In the wake of Sydney's Bondi beach massacre, in which 15 people were killed at a Hanukah celebration, Britain's chief rabbi Ephraim Mirvis blamed pro-Palestine slogans.
Speaking to Sky News’ Sophy Ridge, Mirvis said: "We have to crack down on hate speech in a far more forceful and emphatic way than we previously have been doing.
"Let's take, for example, cries such as 'From the river to the sea' or 'Globalise the intifada'. What does 'Globalise the intifada' mean? It means what happened in Manchester on Yom Kippur [two people and the assailant were killed in an attack on a synagogue in October]. It means what happened in Bondi beach. The time has come once and for all not to allow such rhetoric to poison the minds of people."
Two years ago, Rivkah Brown explained the origins of the Palestinian rallying cry 'From the river to the sea' – and the Israel-led propaganda campaign to portray it as antisemitic.

- Sign up for the new Downstream Newsletter here: https://novaramedia.com/newsletters/the-downstream-newsletter/
Since Hamas launched its assault on October 7th, 2023, the group has become synonymous with evil in large parts of the Western media. Condemnation has come at the expense of critical engagement with the group’s actions, objectives, and history, leaving a vacuum that has been filled with racist assumptions and conspiracy theories.
Tareq Baconi is a Palestinian scholar whose doctoral thesis on Hamas was published in 2018 as a book, ‘Hamas Contained’. The book drew on interviews with the organisation’s leaders and their archives. Tareq’s goal when writing it was to ‘get out of the way’ and let the group speak for itself. Tareq’s newest book, ‘A Fire in Every Direction,’ is a memoir about growing up as a queer Palestinian man in Amman. The title is a reference to Tareq’s activist mother, who fought for Palestinian liberation from exi...
