Jewish journalist fires back after Labor MP brands her antisemitic
Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus rejects what she calls Mark Dreyfus' "absurd" accusation of antisemitism, arguing the former attorney-general omitted crucial context. “I need to respond to an absurd accusation of anti-semitism levelled against me by former attorney-general Mark Dreyfus,” Ms Marcus said. “No, according to Nine newspapers, the most distressing label he'd been given was being called a kapo, a word I'd used to describe him last year. “Really? That's the most pernicious abuse Dreyfus says he suffered? “What he failed to mention in his submission and which I find disingenuous is that this, yes, very strongly worded criticism came from a fellow descendant of Holocaust survivors. “At our very own Sky News antisemitism summit, Dreyfus angered the crowd when he blamed the Opposition and media outlets like ours for weaponising antisemitism. Many Jewish audience members booed him, and some even walked out.”

Trumpy Justice, 76, Publicly Sneers at Liberal for Daring to Dissent
Pool/Getty ImagesConservative Justice Samuel Alito shocked Supreme Court observers on Thursday by lobbing a sneering dig at his liberal colleague, Justice Sonia Sotomayor.Alito, 76, shattered the court’s veneer of civility after Sotomayor, 72, read her blistering dissent in a 6-3 ruling that dealt a major blow to asylum seekers, holding that migrants waiting on the Mexican side of the southern border have not legally “arrived in the United States” and therefore are not entitled to statutory inspection and asylum-processing requirements.Sotomayor spent nearly 12 minutes “calmly” reading her dissent from the bench as her colleagues watched, MS NOW legal analyst Lisa Rubin said.
