In 1993, my sister and I stayed at a youth hostel in Salzburgโฆrun by expat Australians at the time. They made three kinds of schnitzel and served lots of beer then played music. One night Khe Sanh came on & everyone jumped on tables and chairs and sang alongโฆexcept the American and Canadianโฆ

We all know what is happening in Gaza. So both AUS PM Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong are also fully aware. Yet they choose NOT to use terms like "murder", "war crimes", "ethnic cleansing" or "genocide". They choose NOT to condemn or sanction Israel. #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

08.08.2025 09:51 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yeah see I think itโs an affront to victims of the Shoah that you donโt. And the Jewish people who speak loudly against the genocide clearly happening right now agree.
And I canโt believe you used a 3:1 ratio as somehow proof that youโre right and everyone who cares about humanity is wrong.
And donโt even get me started on convicted rapists who think they have the right to remain in parliament even though they are in jail bc they have been convicted of rape.
