There’s an awful lot of people all around the world working hard to end Israel’s impunity and make sure they are held accountable this time.

For those politicians still thinking that Australians support the crooked zionist agenda I have a big bridge covered in 300,000 people to sell you.

The West Australian - straight out unhinged sensationalism and blatant lies, for dumbfuck bogans. Worse than Murdoch.

I suppose by now I should be used to the snide, pompous, 'adult in the room' posturing that establishment shitheads trot out to defend the worst excesses of the liberal world order, but I guess I just find it pretty gosh darn frustrating still.

β€œthe process of extracting and shipping all the coal and gas Australia exports is responsible for close to 18% of Australia’s total emissions”

And for what?

Albanese and Wong fear the zionist lobby more than they fear the people of Australia.

Palestinians have a history of oppression long before 7 October, 2023 It would seem that most journalists and political commentators remain stuck on the terrible attack by the Hamas brigades (formally Islamic Resistance Movement) into Israel on 7 October 2023.

Where do journalists and media ever feel that growing β€œin the belly” tension of using powerful words to objectively inform, and where do the media bother to read history of this tragic country? Do they bother or just take politician's statements as fact? #auspol #Israel ...

Rashid Khalidi’s phenomenal text β€˜The Hundred Years War on Palestine’ is essential reading for everyone, especially those who think this started on Oct 7 or even with Israel’s creation in 1948.

It was absolute lunacy to try and reverse 100,000 people mid-march. It could have gone terribly wrong. But it didn't, because people were calm, respectful of each other, and patient.
The protestors avoided this catastrophe, not NSW Police. #MarchForHumanity

Every Labor branch needs to make similar statements if they are to counter the zionist lobby.

Let’s hope the Wynyard station announcer doesn’t get lobbied out of a job by a chat group of zionist lawyers.

The anti-genocide movement has been driven by below: activists rather than bureaucrats, people rather than NGOs, students rather than professors, etc. Almost without exception, the top echelons of society have tried to stop the protests, not the genocide.

It’s hard to capture in a pic the size/energy of the crowd ready to march over the Syd Harbour Bridge but the station announcer at Wynyard:β€œdon’t worry about tapping off, Transport NSW will work it out, gates are open, you’re heading for George St to the park, keep going, let’s free Palestine” πŸ’•πŸ’•

That’s it is taking so many so long to understand this is testament to the human aptitude for self delusion.

October 7 was a response to the tyranny and abuse of Israel; the correct thing to do when things finally came to a head with the Hamas attack would have been to remove all the tyranny and abuse which gave rise to it.
