@nordacious@aus.social it's not surprising (but no less appalling) given that South Africa's apartheid legislation was based on QLD's 'Aborigines Protection' laws designed to enforce violent control over Indigenous movement, residence, marriage and segregation. And who was the main trading partner of RSA throughout this period (munitions, gold, diamonds etc.)? In NSW actual Nazis can protest on the steps of parliament but it's illegal to compare Zionism to National Socialism which, as Joseph Roth wrote, are the same thing.

Well said @nordacious@aus.social - 'Lest we forget' is a bit like the term 'The Lucky Country' - people use it not understanding (or ignoring) what it should mean (it was not a compliment).

@anon_opin Same in OZ - Murdoch press never stops punching down.
