Laura Tingle nails it:
The Israeli media dehumanizes Palestinians. Some community views are blatantly racist.

Australian mainstream media is not much better.

And the Albanese government's lack of action against the Netanyahu regime suggests they view Palestinian lives as expendable. #auspol

A doctor in Gaza describes the horror of starvation "I remember the first time that I saw a little girl, she was eight months old, brought to me—she was sticks and bones and she was dead."

" President Trump and everybody around him belongs in jail.  What they have done is to actively support and perpetuate a genocide," says a doctor on the ground.

Good point

Germany Says It Will Suspend Military Exports to Israel for Use in Gaza The move followed weeks of debate over reports of hunger in Gaza, but it was precipitated by Israel’s decision to expand military operations there.

Breaking News: Germany said it would suspend any exports to Israel of military equipment that could be used in Gaza, a significant break with its postwar past.

One cannot watch this genocide in real time, perpetrated and enabled by the core states, and conclude anything other than that the whole system of international law has to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Netanyahu announces plan to take over Gaza City in further escalation Proposal that needs to be approved by full cabinet would mean sending Israeli ground troops into remaining territory

Enough's enough. It's time for Australia/others to stop being 'concerned' & 'alarmed' over these continuous and blatant war crimes. Severe sanctions need to be immediately imposed now against *Israel* - not just threats of sanctions against their leaders.

Australia MUST end this absurd alliance with the US. We share no values, no strategic direction, nothing that matters for our future.

This is exactly what Netanyahu has wanted all along - and he’s been allowed to do it all!

What an absolute disgrace.

The weakness of leaders around the world - who’ve enabled this - will be remembered for generations #auspol

I am so sick and tired of seeing MPs and the media shit themselves over refugees arriving in small boats over the channel.

If your initial reaction to seeing these boats is anything other than “those poor bastards, I hope they make it across” then you have failed as a human being.

How 4% of Migrants have Become a National Obsession. According to YouGov, 47% of Britons believe there are more "illegal" Migrants than "Legal" Arriving in the UK despite "illegal immigration" representing only 4% of the numbers. Why is this?

47% of Britons think there are more “illegal” immigrants in the UK than legal immigrants, despite only making up 4% of the overall figures!

And dangerous not just because he’s an authoritarian, which is bad enough, but because he’s an amoral criminal who cares nothing about the people of the United States or the future of this country except to the extent he can profit from it.

Australian voters reject Clive Palmer's divisive ads: new poll shows Almost nine out of ten Australians don’t want trans issues to be used for political gain during this federal election campaign, according to a new poll.

91% 🇦🇺 strongly agree that trans people should have the freedom & choice to live their lives in the way that makes them happy, 81% agree trans peeps deserve the same rights & protections as other’s, 89% agree trans peeps deserves to live with dignity &respect

I totally agree, the 'Small Boats' that Farage claims are the main problem make up only 4%, most immigrants come in legally and are needed, our care workers and NHS staff without them these key services would collapse.

I think people are appallingly ignorant about immigration because they are appallingly racist. And they’ve been given the go-ahead by cynical politicians and media to freely express their prejudice, rather than demand better of themselves.

The other scary one I’ve hear is that 96% of migrants in the UK came here legally & 4% didn’t. But most of the public think it’s the opposite way round🙄🤦🏽
