One can only hope this vision of people standing up for humanity in Sydney made the sphincters of Jillian Segal, Mark Leibler 𝘦𝘡 𝘒𝘭. clench so tight they're all pushing out lumps of coal now. #auspol #GazaGenocide #MarchForHumanity #AlboAndWongAreFucked #MinnsIsFucked #FuckIsrael #FuckOffSegal

The federal government will provide $20m in aid for organisations to deliver food and medical supplies into Gaza.

What's the point when we know it doesn't get through and if it does the IDF and US private armies slaughter people trying to access it?

US media barely touches Epstein links with Israeli intelligence Connections between sex trafficker and spy agencies have been long teased. But few are covering them.

There's plenty of evidence Epstein worked with Mossad. Then he died.

Senate launches inquiry into who is funding fake astroturf anti-renewables groups The Senate has launched an inquiry into the dark money funding anti-renewables astroturfing groups, and deliberately misleading anti-climate campaigns.

How to follow the dark money? That's a question to answer when the Senate inquiry gets underway into climate and energy mis- and disinformation. The known funding trails so far are only a fraction of the millions being spent on disruption. #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/senate-launc...

Australian governments are meant to represent the interests of Australians, not multinational gas corporations.

Australians are tired of rampant gas exports driving up their power bills.

A Timeline of Donald Trump's Creepiness While He Owned Miss Universe From walking into a teen dressing room to joking about his obligation to sleep with contestants, Donald Trump is a storied pageant creep.

A satirical pop art piece styled like an IKEA instruction manual. The title reads β€œMK-84 BΓ–MB -  Proudly supplying non-lethal bits.” Below it, a cartoon character resembling Penny Wong wears a blue IKEA-style uniform, smiling and holding a tiny hammer and instruction sheet. A large speech bubble says, β€œJust parts. Nothing lethal in nature. Parts!! :)” Below, an exploded diagram of a bomb is shown, with each part labeled β€œnon-lethal”,including the guidance fins, bomb body, laser detector, and wing assembly. A sarcastic disclaimer reads: β€œOutcomes may vary - and are absolutely not our responsibility. All refund requests will be honoured with one (1) Deep Concernβ„’.” The overall tone mimics cheerful retail branding to expose the absurdity of justifying war crimes through technicalities.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state.

Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution β€” an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.

My favorite bits are when Trump gives dollar amounts of future spending and investment by these countries but in reality it's really just vague assurances that private investors may or may not spend some more dollars in America on top of what they were already maybe planning on spending anyway πŸ˜‚

So it appears criminal elements carried out the Adass Synagogue fire bombing - not Hamas supporters.

Breathlessly reported and used by our antisemitism envoy as an example of why we need extreme laws, without any evidence at all.

CORRECTION AND APOLOGY
Earlier today, we published a breaking news alert on our social media channels about an arrest connected to the Adass Israel Synagogue arson.
In taking the information from an update from The Australian's website, we made a grievous error in wrongly taking the name of The Australian's journalist, Mohammad Alfares, and including it in the post as the arrested party.
The post was removed as soon as we realised our mistake. We sincerely regret this error and the upset that it has caused for Mr Alfares and The Australian.

It’s very sad that our national broadcaster and largest media outlets continue to quote the Israeli govt sources unconditionally, on all manner of issues, even as they lie unambiguously.
Starvation policies and war crimes are not matters of contention anymore. They are realities.
