Okay, but this won't stop the genocide, @albomp.bsky.social.

You need to ACT—
SANCTION Israel
IMPOSE a total arms embargo
EXPEL the ambassador
BREAK THE SEIGE
SUSPEND ALL TRADE AGREEMENTS until Israel ENDS the GENOCIDE, the APARTHEID and the ILLEGAL OCCUPATION

Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn’t be allowed to vote The repost on X from the US defence secretary illustrates his deep, personal connection to a Christian nationalist pastor with extreme views on the role of religion and women.

Pretty sure the 70% of the world who are NOT Christian and the 10 million Australians who have "no religion" ( 2021 Census) will not be coming along quietly.
Time to see the US as a rogue nation - not worthy allies.
Time to abandon #AUKUS

This occupation, like the rest of Israel's occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, will be illegal. It's not a matter of argument, international law is crystal clear on this point.

Australia has a gas export problem.

Australia Institute research shows 80% of Australia’s gas is exported by foreign-owned gas corporations...who then tell us we have a gas shortage.

Australia has enough gas, it's where it's going that's the problem.

With the Palestinians now occupying only a faction of the Gaza strip like half dead fish in a barrel, Mr Netanyahu will allegedly finish off any Hamas among them then hand the spoils of the Israeli-American war over to "Arab forces".
Q. Is Gaza his to hand over and to what Arab forces?

Procrastination has led to many unnecessary deaths.

Australia must act quickly to save all those who can be brought back to health and eventual freedom.
