“Nothing to See Here”: How Australia’s Terror Watchdogs Missed Bondi - Or Were Told to Look Away
“Nothing to see here.” Not in her own words, but it’s what AFP Commissioner, Krissy Barrett, signals as she blinks in late December sun, at a presser in which she claims that, The “Bondi Killers”, [.....
“While we wring our hands over 15 dead on Bondi Beach – and rightly so – we’ve said nothing about over 70,000 Palestinians killed since Oct 2023, the majority women and children. No condemnation of hospitals bombed, aid workers targeted, starvation deployed as weapon.”

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

This is completely over the top and the decision of reactionary politicians actually creating fear as opposed to any sense of safety.

Single frame. Parliament House in Canberra, with King Kong (marked AI) stepping over the building, holding a woman, looking menacing. Speech bubble from Parliament House: “Look, apparently it has a huge appetite, will put thousands out of work, steal copyright, dumb down education and facilitate abuse. But rather than try to regulate it, we’ll just see how it goes…”
What could go wrong?

‘Influencers’ as a concept is a fracture in the human psyche where history and the multiple disciplines of intellectual thought and science is subordinate to the baseless opinions of a conglomeration of contemporary ignorance. See under MORON!

Every progressive, pro-Palestine elected Dem in my feed is (rightly) condemning the murder of two Israeli staffers in DC.
Funny how there’s rarely any reciprocity from their rightwing counterparts when there are hate crimes & murders against Palestinians, Arabs, & Muslims.

Ahmed Eldin | احمد الدين: "A senior Israeli lawmaker—Nissim Vaturi, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset—is calling for Gaza’s women and children to be separated so the men can be executed en masse. This is not a misquote. It’s a genocidal call from the heart of government. And the world says nothing."

Well that 48hrs came and went but I'm not seeing any updates on the fate of the 14,000 babies at imminent risk of death from starvation.
As far as I can tell, Israel kept the gates closed, the requisite aid did not flow, and now—I presume the worst has happened and is happening. #FuckIsrael

Weaponisation of ‘antisemitism’ hides primitive savagery of Palestinian genocide
As expressed in the UN General Assembly, the vast majority of the world’s governments and peoples agree that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and now the West Bank.
The lives of Palestinians killed in the Gaza genocide are as valuable as the lives lost by Jews in the European Holocaust. “Never again” must apply not just to Jews, but to Palestinians and all humanity. When will our so-called leaders call the bluff of the Zionist lobb ...

Time to end the silence
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Martin Luther King Jr.
The Justice and Peace Office of the Sydney archdiocese cannot remain silent in the face of such normalisation of state violence. We cannot have our silence taken as consent for ethnic cleansing, famine and genocide. #auspol #Palestine #Gaza

Israel systematically targeting hospitals, Gaza health ministry says, after scores die in new IDF strikes – Israel-Gaza war live
Gaza officials says hospitals are overwhelmed but are being repeatedly hit by Israel as reports say more than 100 people died in new strikes
Utterly barbaric war crimes by Israel.
Intensifying the systematic targeting of hospitals.
“After putting the European Gaza hospital out of service a few days ago, the Israeli occupation has intensified its targeting and siege of the Indonesian hospital in the northern Gaza Strip since dawn today"

Top genocide scholars unanimous that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza: Dutch investigation
Researchers from Israel, the Netherlands, the US, the UK, Australia, Croatia and Canada say Israel's conduct meets the legal threshold of genocide
Australian scholar, Melanie O’Brien (President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars) said “Israel’s deliberate denial of food, water, shelter and sanitation was the key factor in her determination that the military campaign was a genocide.” All Oz media will quote her tomoz right?

Palestine has NO Army, Navy or Airforce.
So, it's Not "Soldier vs Soldier"
Actually it's "Soldiers vs Unarmed Civilians"
