jili link jackpot Criticism of Israel or the war in Gaza doesn't amount to anti-Semitism, the foreign minister says, as Australia grapples with an increase in the vile sentiment. Login or signup to continue reading Many in Australia's Jewish community are feeling scared and unsafe and anti-Semitism must be rejected at every turn, Penny Wong says. "We know that cruel acts of anti-Semitism evoke some of the darkest episodes in the history of the Jewish people," she said in a major foreign policy speech at the University of South Australia on Monday night. "We condemn and reject anti-Semitism wherever it occurs - acts of hate have no place in Australia." But people needed to respectfully disagree on points of difference and avoid "misrepresenting views and exaggerating differences" to stop the conflict in the Middle East spurring friction in Australia, she said. "It's not anti-Semitic to expect that Israel should comply with the international law that applies to all countries," Senator Wong said. "Nor is it anti-Semitic to call for children and other civilians to be protected or to call for a two-state solution that enables Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security." Her comments followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticising the Australian government for holding an "extreme anti-Israel position" that he linked to a firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue. Mr Netanyahu and Jewish groups in Australia were critical of the federal government voting in support of a pro-Palestinian motion at the United Nations. The motion was supported by almost 160 members while only a handful, including the United States and Israel, voted against it. Australia's special envoy to combat anti-Semitism, Jillian Segal said it wasn't necessarily anti-Semitic for people to call for a two-state solution or the recognition of Palestinian statehood. The internationally accepted definition of anti-Semitism "makes it clear that criticism of Israel in a form that you would normally criticise another country, like its policies, is fine", she said. "But criticism of Israel, which damns it as a country that should be abolished, that should no longer exist, that all the Jews should disappear - that is anti-Semitic." It was the same definition Senator Wong referenced in her speech as both called for anti-Semitism to transcend politics and for the community to come together after the synagogue attack. People needed to avoid "exploiting the trend towards echo chambers where people only hear bad things about others and don't see for themselves what's good about others", Senator Wong said. In all the discussions of the Middle East, the Jewish community felt like the hostages taken by Hamas - scores of which remain captive in Gaza - have been forgotten. "There are these credibly important souls that have been suffering for an enormous length of time and they need to be at the forefront of our collective thinking to bring them home," Ms Segal said.

Scottie Scheffler fires a 63, repeats as champ of Hero World Challenge

More than 18,000 people expressed interest in standing as candidates in Mexico’s first ever judicial elections in 2025, the federal government announced Monday. Arturo Zaldívar, coordinator of policy and government in the administration led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, thanked 18,447 people for registering their interest in participating in the judicial elections scheduled to be held on June 1, 2025. Zaldívar, a former Supreme Court justice who resigned in late 2023 to join Sheinbaum’s presidential election campaign team , noted that the registrations were made on an “executive power” website. Mexico’s Congress and the judiciary also accepted registrations, as they — in addition to an “executive power” committee headed up by Zaldívar — will select candidates to contest the judicial elections. The Congress received more than 11,900 registrations while the judiciary received over 3,800. Some would-be judges likely submitted registrations to the federal executive, the Congress and the judiciary. A total of 881 judges, including nine Supreme Court justices, are set to be elected by popular vote next year. Mexico’s inaugural judicial elections will take place as a result of the enactment of a controversial judicial reform that was approved by Congress in September . Sheinbaum said that the registration process for judicial aspirants — which began on Nov. 5 and concluded at midnight Monday — was “a complete success.” “[It was] something unprecedented, historic,” she said. A second round of judicial elections is scheduled to be held in 2027. Critics of the judicial reform argue that the direct election of judges will politicize the judiciary, but Sheinabum and other government officials reject claims that Mexico’s courts will lose their independence. The president asserts that a judicial overhaul via the election of judges is necessary to eliminate corruption and other ills from Mexico’s justice system. Zaldívar said that 10,862 men, 6,101 women and 106 people who identify as nonbinary successfully registered their interest in contesting next year’s judicial elections. An additional 1,378 people made errors when submitting their registrations and will therefore not be considered by the executive’s candidate evaluation committee. Zaldivar said that 480 people “aspire” to become Supreme Court (SCJN) justices. But just 27 will ultimately be selected to contest the election to win one of nine positions on the bench of Mexico’s highest court. More than 10,000 people registered their interest in contesting federal district judge elections, while over 5,000 want to stand as candidates in circuit court elections. The remainder of those who registered on the federal government website want to become electoral judges or magistrates with the Judicial Discipline Tribunal. Minerva Martínez Garza, an academic and former president of the Nuevo León Human Rights Commission, is among those hoping to win a position on the SCJN. She told the Associated Press that the election of judges will help Mexico’s justice system overcome “the legitimacy crisis” it suffers. “We need a justice system that provides results,” Martínez said, adding that the recently-enacted judicial reform will help to eradicate corruption in the judiciary and favor a more rapid delivery of justice. “This change is profound,” she said. Sergio Méndez Silva, a legal official with the Fundación para la Justicia (Foundation for Justice), a Mexico City-based non-governmental organization, has a different view about the direct election of judges. “One doesn’t choose a doctor for an operation based on popularity,” he said, explaining that a surgeon is chosen because of his or her “technical knowledge, expertise and skill.” “... The same thing [should] apply for a judge,” Méndez said. He expressed concern about the makeup of the executive, congressional and judicial committees that will assess the qualifications and experience of those vying to become judges, asserting that people aligned with the ruling Morena party are among their members. Of the 11 current SCJN justices, just three — all of whom are widely seen as sympathetic to Morena’s agenda – intend to contest the 2025 judicial elections . Over the next three weeks, the federal executive’s candidate evaluation committee will look at the qualifications and experience of those who expressed interest in becoming judges to determine whether they comply with the “formal requirements,” Zaldívar said. Among the requirements are the following: Lawmakers had proposed setting a minimum age of 35 for judges but ultimately decided against that requirement. Zaldívar said that the executive’s evaluation committee will be looking for people who are “honest, qualified” and “committed” to delivering “the justice we all expect” as well as “building a better justice system.” “It’s clear that the one we have now doesn’t satisfy the yearnings and legitimate demands of the people of Mexico,” he said. Zaldívar said that the “most suitable” candidates will be selected by Dec. 14. Those “finalists” will participate in a public interview process after which some of them will be selected as candidates via sortition , or selection by lottery. The official said that the response from Mexico’s lawyers to the call to register as judicial election candidates was “amazing.” “The results are spectacular, they exceeded all expectations, which demonstrates the interest of the people of Mexico in this process,” he said. “... It’s a historic event because for the first time we’re going to elect judges in Mexico, it’s an event that will completely transform our democratic, social and political life,” Zaldívar said.

French President Emmanuel Macron accused Haiti's transitional council of being "total morons" for dismissing the country's prime minister, according to a video shot at the G20 summit in Brazil this week and shared on social media Thursday. In the footage, the French leader is speaking on the sidelines of the G20 in Rio with an individual accusing Macron and France of "being responsible for the situation in Haiti". Haiti's transitional council pushed out then-prime minister Garry Conille after just five months in office, a move Macron called "terrible" in the clip. "They're total morons," said Macron referring to the transitional body, adding, "they never should have dismissed him." Condemning the remarks, Haiti's Foreign Ministry said Thursday that French Ambassador Antoine Michon had been summoned following the "unacceptable comments." Haitian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship Jean-Victor Harvel Jean-Baptiste used the meeting to express "indignation" on behalf of the transitional council, which he said viewed the remarks as "an unfriendly and inappropriate gesture that must be rectified," according to a statement from the ministry. Haiti has suffered from decades of political instability. But in recent months, the Caribbean country has seen a surge in violence with gangs now controlling 80 percent of the capital, Port-au-Prince. The clip also shows the French president, who is on a multi-leg tour of Latin America with his most recent stop in Chile, blaming Haitians for "letting drug trafficking take over". "Quite frankly, it was the Haitians who killed Haiti," the French president said in the clip. Businessman Alix Didier Fils-Aime was sworn in as Haiti's new prime minister on November 12, promising to restore security in the crisis-wracked country. fff-lum/ekf/sjw/bfm/md

ARRAY Technologies taps CFOAs the year comes to an end, Zoom is taking stock of the year by speaking with the artistes who helped make 2024 memorable. This time, we are in conversation with Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi filmmaker Sudhir Mishra, who is the showrunner, writer, and co-director on Tanaav. The Hindi remake of the Israeli series Fauda premiered its second season in September; the remaining six episodes were released on December 6. Mishra tells Zoom about his highlights of the past year and what viewers can expect from him in 2025. Speaking about what he enjoyed watching in 2024, the veteran director named some thrilling series. Mishra said, "I liked IC 814 that Anubhav [Sinha] made. That I really like. Then what Nikkhil [Advani] has done with Freedom at Midnight. That's another series which I've seen [and] liked. And both of them are made by people I consider almost brothers. I'm very happy for them. There's something that Alfonso Cuaron has made. It's called Disclaimer. Very interesting series. Great stuff comes once in a while." ALSO READ: Recap 2024: And Here's What Rajeev Khandelwal Has To Say For 2025 - EXCLUSIVE The Afwaah director also called finishing his latest release, Tanaav, his highlight of 2024. He didn't believe in looking back in regret. Mishra stated, "Everything you wish you had done better. Everything you wish, for makers like me, we are not full of ourselves, you know. There's always something that's left. Something that could have been done better. If you had only a little bit more time, than you could have done this a little bit better. But then you make the best of what you have. That's how it is. It's always difficult for filmmakers, but it's a blessing. I'm getting an opportunity to do all these things, which is quite amazing." The filmmaker also seems to have found his form in OTT, as he will be back with another series in the first half of 2025. He teased the show, saying, "I made another series called Summer of 77 for Sony, which I finished. I had a great time shooting with all these stalwarts and brilliant people; they're so graceful. I really had a good time with these young people: Rohan Verma, Vishal Vashishtha, Ullas Samrat, Isha Talwar, TJ Bhanu, Vivaan Parashar, and Vivaan Shah. And Saurab Shukla, Rajat Kapoor, Manav Vij, Rahul Bhat, Aditya Bhattacharya, Danish Husain, Vipin Sharma, and Anjan Dutt. So many people are also doing lots of parts in this series."
