I’ve heard from a runner that the Zionist groups have heard about possible protests so will be “bringing their own security”! How they are allowed to infiltrate a marathon and ruin it for everyone is beyond me. We need to bombard Tony Burke’s office. Why has he left IDF soldiers into the country???

And our premier decided that the security details should be armed.....it's f$&kn mind boggling for sure.

This is the same government who’ve stopped Bassem Youssef from coming to Australia as part of his global tour. I’m so angry.

I'm utterly disgusted. If there had been time it would have been good to try to organise a boycott by other runners. I wouldn't go near it. What happens when their private security shoots a protestor?

Ironically, I'm actually starting to be REALLY grateful for having gotten f#cked over badly by a single toxic person, because now I see, understand and believe (although it's profoundly scary at times that the same mechanisms happen at a global scale) - there are NO LIMITS to the lies and depravity of some individuals, protected or at least tolerated by surrounding societal structures. But let's not despair - we have individual and collective agency; the first bollard is usually our own excuses...

The more I read about how the Zionist agenda is already embedded in our culture, and the more I read about both the overt and quiet ways the IDF and Israeli war criminals are welcomed to Australia, makes me worry about what other things the Zionists have hooked their claws into with their insidious motives.

Just trying to imagine the motivations in enabling a provocation such as this is mind-bending. I am so sad for you Veronica - you and all the people working so damned hard for a fair and balanced view of the world - get this?????

Herzog was bad enough. Now insult to the power of 40!!
