11. Anything I wrote is not for the purpose

of "working on you" nor is it a defense of bad conduct. It calls out the fallacy that somehow she alone is controlling what the reports are from that office. It condemns hypocritical stances from diplomats. It clearly states that anti-Semitism is reprehensible and it calls her actions inappropriate on their face and notes that we do not have anything further from her on this. According to a large group of scholars of anti-Semitism who supported her in 2022 when she was attacked your conclusion about a history is incorrect. Furthermore your intimation that what I wrote is intended as distraction is also incorrect. I note for the record though the lack of a response regarding the support for the brutal government in Myanmar that is and has been carrying out major anti-Muslim violence against the Rohingya as well as snuggling with dictators like Orban. Netanyahu calling Myanmar Israel's "greatest friend in Asia" and sending them arms and intelligence support is perhaps something people would rather not talk about because it might cause them to be distracted. Perhaps it's like Netanyahu and company saying "standards of conduct for thee but none for me".

But who knows and anyway the world is only supposed to examine or look at one thing at a time I guess and to do so in isolation without regard to the behavior of the one who is the "champion of right and good" at the UN and the actions of the country she represents there and their friends. Now if someone in the diplomatic community without blood on their hands would like to condemn the apparent actions of Albanese in this instance I have no problem with them doing so. But I don't suffer hypocrites gladly nor do I accept them even if they should point to the bad behavior of someone else. In perhaps simpler terms if Roger Stone tells us bad things about Steve Bannon I am not going to hold off also pointing out the acts of Roger Stone. I have the capacity to deal with it all simultaneously and as I said I stand by every word I wrote.
