The Albanese Labor government is preparing an “antisemitism report card” on Australian universities that will grade institutions on their success in suppressing dissent and policing campus politics, backed by the threat of reducing their funding.

The massacre of the entirely defenseless Hind and her family members has come to epitomize for tens of millions the genocidal-fascistic character of the ongoing Zionist onslaught.

If they were a country, they would be the fourth largest emitter on Earth.Yet military emissions are largely excluded from UN carbon budgets. Reporting is mostly voluntary.This is the military emissions gap: an intentional political fallacy.Email your MP. Ask them why military emissions are not mandatory in UK climate reporting. Ask why the UK increases defence spending while cutting climate and aid budgets.Watch The War on Climate, an 8-minute film exposing how militarism fuels climate collapse.Link in @thewaronclimate bio.#CountMilitaryEmissions #TheWarOnClimate #ClimateJustice #CeasefireNow
