On Sunday morning, before the sun is over Sydney Heads, up to 40 current and former soldiers of the Israel Defence Forces will jog across the Sydney Harbour Bridge with numbers pinned to their chests and a cheer squad waiting at the Opera House.

On Thursday night in Perth, a stage will be empty. Bassem Youssef will not be on it. Home Affairs wanted an FBI clearance and a criminal record from Egypt, whose generals forced him into exile in 2014. His passport had lapsed. Cairo took its time. The tour is gone.

The State Premier for NSW, Chris Minns is very happily in bed with rightwing Israeli forces. Importing foreign state actors (last month is was a bunch of IDF athletes).

This is because whilst being from the nominally leftwing Labor party, he's from its rightwing faction.
