After Samoa’s Prime Minister blacklists the Samoa Observer and refuses to answer questions from its journalists, the newspaper publishes a feisty editorial, refusing to take a backwards step in its reporting.
Editorial for Tuesday, 18 November 2025. Members of the Editorial Board are published daily on page 10 of our print edition.

Today, Australia’s 39 universities endorsed a dangerous and politicised definition of antisemitism which threatens academic freedom, will have a chilling effect on legitimate criticism of Israel, and risks institutionalising anti-Palestinian racism. They did so without meaningful consultation with Palestinian groups or diverse Jewish groups who are critical of Israel.
The Jewish Council of Australia strongly opposes the antisemitism definition developed by the Group of Eight (Go8) universities and adopted by Universities Australia. By categorising Palestinian political expression as inherently antisemitic, it will be unworkable and unenforceable, and stifle critical political debate, which is at the heart of any democratic society.
The definition dangerously conflates Jewish identities with support for the state of Israel and the political ideology of Zionism.

This is awesome from Gael Monfils:
Q: Do you think you can win the tournament?
Monfils: 'Win? No... To be honest with you, it's not even a dream. My dream is to be old, with a lot of kids, and healthy. That's your dream, I guess, [for me] to win a Slam'

As Donald Trump prepares to enter the White House, it’s worth reading reports from conservative US think tanks, with ideas for a Trump 2.0 agenda to counter China in the Pacific Islands. Many openly argue for the prioritisation of US interests over Pacific island concerns. THREAD

No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination. Yet 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. The extraordinary film FROM GROUND ZERO — for which I am proud to be an Executive Producer — is the collection of these short films, told all together in under 2 hours. The fact that this film exists at all is a human and cinematic miracle. Go see FROM GROUND ZERO — in theaters now!

For French speakers, a fascinating interview with Emmanuel Tjibaou, son of founding #FLNKS leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou. This year, Emmanuel was elected as a New Caledonian deputy in the French National Assembly, and also as Union Calédonienne #UC president. youtube.com/watch?v=aWY4XFUi…
