But protesting ex-IDF people running in the Sydney Marathon is not antisemitic or the wrong tone. Raising money for charity isn't enough to undo the war crimes of the IDF and the state of Israel, even if you were conscripted.01 Sep 2026 13:15 +0000at://did:plc:b66g4w73pwfdspvgdmt3tbpb/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhived7i22whttps://bsky.app/profile/drnaomi.bsky.social/post/3mqfxkjpyys22My book Musquito: The Real Story of a Legendary Colonial Warrior, is out in all good bookstores and on Booktopia, TheNile, and Amazon now.

I miss @kudelka.bsky.social more than words can express. I noticed his cartoons when I was 18 and he was irritatingly young/talented. We became proper friends on what was Twitter. Over 17 years, many platforms, many private chats. He adored his wife Margaret and his stunning kids.
