"Israel keeps announcing its intent to occupy and annex ALL remaining Palestinian territories remaining, including Gaza, #WestBank and East Jerusalem."

No time to wait, @albomp.bsky.social:
recognize the Palestinian state now, and #SanctionIsraelNow. #auspol

Australians are awake to the fact that Zionist Israeli agents were deployed throughout the #MarchForHumanity carrying inflammatory signs in a pathetic attempt to discredit the march.

Yes. That was the experience. A situation seemingly engineered by NSW police to irritate people. Amazingly chill crowd given the weather and the apparent ineptitude from NSW police.

I have a pile of things to throw at zionists. Not to convince them, but to show themselves to others.

The IDF has killed more journalists and aid workers alone, than Hamas took hostages.

The police appeared to make it โ€œperilousโ€by changing the directions of the protest from the original plan. The person that did this should be immediately investigated and sacked!

The antisemitism envoy has today called for the permanent closure of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, claiming it has become a symbol for those with a strong loathing of genocide in the name of self-defence.

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.

"Every Palestinian citizen was mentally or physically affected, with every child understanding their oppression from those years. A child of eight in 2008 became a young man in 2023. The heart and mind knows only a hopeless future, the child will act."

AUKUS delusions. More rivets pop in submarine drama - Michael West Announcing sub-deal with the UK, resisting calls for a review, ignoring US admiral, building houses for US military, AUKUS shocker.

A lot happened last week on the #AUKUS front. It really was a โ€˜shockerโ€™ for proponents of the massive nuclear submarine shemozzle, but a happy state of self-delusion persists at the highest levels of our Government. ๐Ÿ‘‡Sit down before you read this๐Ÿ‘‡. #auspol

A haha I just heard the police commissioner saying the helicopter was out there โ€œsweeping the crowd, keeping people safeโ€. In fact no one I was with could understand what was said, but it was actually this:

What 200,000 or more people called with a single voice was #SanctionIsrael - why canโ€™t we talk about that? - not views of NSW police on their dodgy views of potential risks that never looked like eventuating #MarchforHumanity

I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s ever a case for any outside force to destroy a nation. Thereโ€™s an obligation for all nations to stop a genocide and the law doesnโ€™t take invasion off the table

Jillian Segal and husband funding far-right group "Advance" - The Klaxon Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal and her husband are among the biggest funders of far-right group "Advanceโ€, which spreads hateful propaganda and racist tropes.

It's three entire weeks since we put questions to Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal, after she, standing with PM, told us we need sweeping new laws to protect one specific minority.
She still refuses to respond.
Explosive series kicks off tomorrow. (ICYMI:)
