Today the leader of the Palestinian Authority wished “the Jewish people of the world” a Happy New Year in the UN. It surprised everybody. Not even Australia’s prime minister had done so outside a community paper.

We’re finally hearing talk of a phenomenon that I thought was clear in October 2023: That Israel is losing the information war in its campaign to free its hostages and eradicate Hamas from Palestine. In fact, it lost it on Day 1 responding with muddled messaging immediately after of the horror of Hamas’s unprecedented attack in Israel on October 7.

In one hundred days Australians will restrict under 16 access to the internet’s search engines and social media, prime minister Anthony Albanese posted on X. We do not know if this also applies to non-Australians on myriad visas, to tourists, or those seeking asylum, or to those to whom asylum has been rejected but still here.
