"Unless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail." -Theodore Roosevelt“The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed - where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.”Hon. Alex Kozinski, dissent in Silveira v. Lockyer, 328 F.3d 567 (9th Circuit 2003).

They buried the lede with this one. He had a responsibility to report the trip and what it was for. That’s what got him in trouble.
A Jewish-Australian Army Reserves officer from Australia could have his security clearance revoked because of his ties to the Jewish State.
Due to divided loyalty between Australia and Israel, risk of being influenced by the Mossad, and failure to disclose interactions with Israelis, a Jewish Australian Army Reserves officer’s security clearance was on Thursday recommended to be revoked in an Administrative Review Tribunal ruling.
The ruling came in response to an appeal by the officer against a 2023 Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) Adverse Security Assessment recommending stripping Negative Vetting Level 2 security clearance because of concerns over his loyalty to Australia, susceptibility to foreign influence, and compliance with security holder obligations.
Based on two interviews with the officer, ASIO had determined that he had demonstrated a higher level of loyalty to Israel than Australia. The tribunal concluded that the officer held “divided loyalties between his obligations as a security clearance holder and his faith and Jewish cultural identity,” though noted that he had not been disloyal to Australia.

Today, 3 years ago, the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine, starting the so called “SpecialMilitary Operation”, and becoming second, more direct stage of the Russian-Ukrainian War, which started all the way back in 2014.
Never forget who the real aggressor is.

In my street, in Germany - the country of the Shoah - there is someone who puts up stickers saying "Killing Jews is not resistance". If they are not scratched off within days, they are covered up with "Fuck Israel" stickers with watermelons in the background or other Pro-Palestine stickers. And to me that's just such a horrifically perfect metaphor for why Israel needs to exist.

According to The Telegraph, the exposure of GAZAWOOD played a role in bringing down the BBC's pro-Hamas propaganda documentary.
Gotta love getting that kind of credit.
