District college football roundup: Clutch defensive play leads Slippery Rock to playoff win
We now have confirmation from Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the denial of a visa to former Israeli cabinet minister Ayelet Shaked has in fact damaged our bilateral relationship with Israel. At the same time, Foreign Minister Penny Wong has strongly implied that following the International Criminal Court’s (ICC’s) farcical issuing of arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minster Yoav Gallant, the pair would likely be arrested for so-called war crimes should they try to enter Australia. With the Shaked fiasco and the government’s tepid response to the ICC outrage, Labor has confirmed what many in our community have long suspected – they have abandoned any pretence of supporting Israel or being serious about the safety of Australian Jews. Last week’s horrific antisemitic attack in Woollahra – where buildings and cars were vandalised and a vehicle set ablaze – isn’t just another incident. It’s the predictable result of Labor’s unconscionable failure to take a stand against rising antisemitism in Australia. This government’s approach has created an environment where antisemitism isn’t just tolerated – it’s normalised. From university campuses to our suburban streets, Jewish Australians are increasingly under siege while Labor ministers offer nothing but empty platitudes. It appointed a special envoy to combat antisemitism and then ignored her advice. And its mixed and often negative messaging on Israel has added to an environment of anti-Israel hostility that all too often blurs lines and feeds into outright antisemitism. The mainstream Jewish community’s relationship with federal Labor has reached a breaking point. Let us be clear: this is a crisis demanding immediate action. We must unite in the face of a government that has repeatedly demonstrated its indifference to our safety and concerns. We must leverage our resources – political, economic and social – to hold Labor accountable. The message must be unequivocal to the government: Your trashing of an important bilateral relationship with a once stanch ally, and your failure to make Jewish Australians feel safe, will have consequences. The time for polite disagreement is over. We must act now to ensure our community’s security and dignity are restored.13 famous cowboys and gunslingers from the history of the American Wild West
TBILISI (AP): Former soccer player Mikheil Kavelashvili was formally inaugurated as president of Georgia on Sunday, cementing the ruling party’s grip in what the opposition calls a blow to the country’s European Union (EU) aspirations. Outgoing pro-Western Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili said Sunday morning that she would vacate her residence at the Orbeliani Palace in Tbilisi, but insisted she was still the legitimate office holder. “I will come out of here, come out to you and be with you ... . This presidential residence was a symbol as long as there was a president here who was legitimate. I bring legitimacy with me,” Zourabichvili told a crowd of supporters outside the palace. She called Kavelashvili’s inauguration a “parody”. Kavelashvili, 53, who was the only candidate on the ballot, easily won the vote earlier in December, given the Georgian Dream party’s control of a 300-seat electoral college that replaced direct presidential elections in 2017. It is made up of members of parliament, municipal councils and regional legislatures. In his speech on Sunday, Kavelashvili promised to be “everyone’s president, regardless of whether they like me or not”. He called for the nation to unite behind him around “shared values, the principles of mutual respect, and the future we should build together”. Georgian Dream retained control of Parliament in the South Caucasus nation in an October 26 election that the opposition alleges was rigged with Moscow’s help. The party has vowed to continue pushing towards accession in the European Union, but also wants to “reset” ties with Russia. BOYCOTTED Georgia’s outgoing president and main pro-Western parties have boycotted the post-election parliamentary sessions and demanded a rerun of the ballot. In 2008, Russia fought a brief war with Georgia, which led to Moscow’s recognition of two breakaway regions as independent, and an increase in the Russian military presence in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Critics have accused Georgian Dream –established by Bidzina Ivanishvili, a shadowy billionaire who made his fortune in Russia – of becoming increasingly authoritarian and tilted towards Moscow, accusations the ruling party has denied. The party recently pushed through laws similar to those used by the Kremlin to crack down on freedom of speech and LGBTQ+ rights. Georgian Dream’s decision last month to suspend talks on their country’s bid to join the EU added to the opposition’s outrage and galvanised protests. Protesters in front of the parliament building on Sunday held red cards, in reference to Kavelashvili’s career in soccer. “Because today our president is a footballer, we are showing him a red card. The next step will be sending him off the pitch. The Georgian people will definitely do this, because it was a circus that they have held today in the parliament,” protester Sofia Shamanidi told The Associated Press. NEW ELECTIONS Zourabichvili, 72, was born in France to parents with Georgian roots and had a successful career with the French foreign ministry before President Mikheil Saakashvili named her Georgia’s top diplomat in 2004. Constitutional changes made the president’s job largely ceremonial before Zourabichvili was elected by popular vote with Georgian Dream’s support in 2018. She became sharply critical of the ruling party, accusing it of pro-Russia policies, and Georgian Dream unsuccessfully tried to impeach her. Zourabichvili has rejected government claims that the opposition was fomenting violence. “We are not demanding a revolution,” she told The Associated Press. “We are asking for new elections, but in conditions that will ensure that the will of the people will not be misrepresented or stolen again.” Who is the new president? Georgia’s opposition has mocked Kavelashvili for lacking higher education. He was a striker in the English Premier League for Manchester City and played for several clubs in the Swiss Super League. He was elected to parliament in 2016 on the Georgian Dream ticket, and in 2022 co-founded the People’s Power political movement, which was allied with Georgian Dream and become known for its strong anti-Western rhetoric. Kavelashvili was one of the authors of a controversial law requiring organizations that receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as “pursuing the interest of a foreign power,” similar to a Russian law used to discredit critical organizations. The EU, which granted Georgia candidate status in December 2023 on condition that the country meets the bloc’s recommendations, put its accession on hold and cut financial support in June following approval of the “foreign influence” law. HOW DID PROTESTS UNFOLD? Thousands of demonstrators converged on the parliament building every night after the government announced the suspension of EU accession talks on November 28. Riot police used water cannons and tear gas almost daily to disperse and beat scores of protesters, some of whom threw fireworks at police officers and built barricades on the capital’s central boulevard. Hundreds were detained and over 100 treated for injuries. Several journalists were beaten by the police, and media workers accused the authorities of using thugs to deter people from attending anti-government rallies, which Georgian Dream denies. The crackdown has drawn strong condemnation from the United States and EU officials.ITV I'm A Celebrity fans 'prove' Dean McCullough 'faked his tears' in telling momentViral Costco fight highlights online spread of misinformation in Vancouver
