This is a calculated effort to ethnically cleanse area C - which is 60% of the West Bank. And it is moving ahead successfully, while European governments murmur their objections and talk about a two state solution.

Four dead in 24 hours: Israeli settler terror intensifies amid Iran war Settler gunfire killed Palestinians in two West Bank villages as they tried to defend their land. In the aftermath, soldiers’ tear gas induced a cardiac arrest.

Israeli settlers in the West Bank harass, terrorise, destroy, burn, injure and kill Palestinians, their properties and livestock every day, while the IDF is aiding and abetting them.
Every. Day.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

While providing (rightly) seven #Iranian women footballers asylum and joining an illegal war, the Labor Government today is passing a Trump like entry ban to block Iranians from entering Australia for the next 6 months. Despicable and morally bankrupt in its hypocrisy and lack of decency and values.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

The NACC works exactly as intended when the Albanese govt set it up.

How US bases make Australia part of the Iran war Australia’s role in supporting the US-Israel war against Iran with the hosting of a string of US military bases across the country is a critical contribution to the US war machine.

Amy Remeikis. It’s become clear that Aust/US facilities are big part of Israel’s war/occupation machinery.

Jillian Segal’s aggressive moves to remove Aust free speech/protests are linked to Israel military needs. Aust has been occupied. #auspol

Lovely to see my brilliant friend Allegra Spender presenting principled and detailed proposals for tax reform at the National Press Club.

We need the government to commit to significant tax reform to address increasing intergenerational inequity. Young Australians deserve nothing less.
