#Iran says ‘Non-Hostile’ ships can sail through the #StraitOfHormuz.

Ships with no ties to #Israel or the #UnitedStates would be allowed to pass, the government said, but it was unclear if any vessels would try.

Gees, #Albo! It’s a pity you were in such a hurry to join the war & send personnel, weapons & an aircraft to help the #TrumpRegime.

"Subsidising violence." Labor accused of looking the other way

Labor refuses to sanction charities funding illegal settlements and the Israeli war effort, as government accused of subsidising violence.

"#JosephAlbo: Collected #Writings, #edited by #ShiraWeiss, is an important and welcome contribution to the study of #medieval #Jewish #philosophy, making the thought of the #Spaniard Joseph #Albo (1380-1444) newly accessible to contemporary readers.

Bringing together a full presentation of #Sefer #haIkkarim along with Albo’s lesser-known responsum, this volume offers both breadth and depth, illuminating a thinker often overshadowed by figures like #Maimonides (1138-1204) and his own teacher, #HasdaiCrescas (1340-1410/11). The #book is 1753 pages long, and contains the original #Hebrew on the left-hand pages and an easy-to-read modern #English #translation on the right.

Albo’s approach to #Judaism diverged from Maimonides ‘ emphasis on rationalism. He was influenced by #Crescas, who emphasized faith and the observance of #mitzvot (divine commands), an easier form of Judaism than the rigors of Maimonides’ rationalism."

When Australia shut down refineries, what did politicians think would happen?
In 2014 to 2015 two major refineries stopped refining fuel

• Kurnell Refinery → converted to an import terminal

• Bulwer Island Refinery → closed and turned into an import terminal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulwer_Island_Refinery

Result: Australia became far more dependent on imported fuel while regional industries still rely on diesel to function.

Farmers feel it first
If diesel prices spike
• tractors do not run
• crops do not get harvested
• food supply chains strain

Fuel security is not abstract policy.
It affects farmers, freight, food prices and regional Australia.

But according to parts of the press this is somehow #Albo’s fault in 2026.
Apparently decisions made a decade ago only become a problem once Labor is in government.
Funny how that works.
