Just fyi the Rafah border may be opening this week- no one knows what the requirements will be to leave but you might see a lot of people fundraising again for it

"Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a harsh UN critic, was quick to join. He did so a day after bulldozing the emptied East Jerusalem headquarters of a UN agency set up in 1949 to feed, house and educate Palestinian refugees."

Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.

Russia invades Ukraine. Western response: condemnation of war crimes, arming Ukraine, sanctions on Russia

USA invades Venezuela and kidnaps their president. Western response: Handwringing and forlock tugging

Israel commits genocide. Western response: Outright support for the genocide.

Loving this ration. Boot lickers.

‘The people we have been starving were already quite ill’ is an admission of guilt not a defense.

beyond the moral ghoulish ness I just don't understand the basic contention of how this is supposed to work as a defense. if a whole population of people was starving en masse, would one expect people with "pre-existing conditions" to be over or underrepresented amongst those who die first?

Ex-Israeli intelligence chief said 50 Palestinians must die for every 7 October victim ‘It does not matter if they are children,’ said Aharon Haliva in recorded comments calling the death toll ‘necessary’

The former head of Israel's military intelligence just praised the deaths of innocents as "necessary...as a message for future generations." If we do nothing, we will have to tell our children that we stood idly by as millions of people were sent to their graves.

Journalists covering the aid air drops say they have been warned by Israel not to film Gaza from the air or the air drops will stop. (Do they not want us to see the scale of the damage?)

“International journalists have not been allowed inside Gaza.”

YouTube video by Democracy Now! Fmr. Green Beret Who Worked at Gaza Food Sites Reveals Rampant War Crimes

A retired U.S. soldier who worked at Gaza aid delivery sites said, “What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland. We, the United States, are complicit. We are involved, hand in hand, in the atrocities and the genocide that is currently undergoing in Gaza.”

This clip...I have no words.

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

IDF soldiers ordered to shoot deliberately at unarmed Gazans waiting for humanitarian aid ***

"Israeli soldiers in Gaza told Haaretz that the army has deliberately fired at Palestinians near aid distribution sites..."

Americans' fear of #socialism is the greatest proof that if you want to destroy a country, all you have to do is destroy its education system.

Then just sit back and watch the uneducated jerks destroy everything in a domino effect.

#Mamdani has supporters all over Europe, yeah, he's that good! 💚

Children in Gaza are dying of thirst, says UNICEF UNICEF has warned that while the world's attention is focused elsewhere, the situation in Gaza is "at the worst it has ever been" with the Palestinian territory hitting "rock bottom".

In addition to its expanding violence throughout the entire region, the Israeli military is still slaughtering Palestinians in Gaza — and it's counting on all of us to be too distracted to pay attention. We refuse to look away.

Reasons I won't vote (and will actively campaign against) Labor:
• support for US bombing Iran
• supporting Israel's #GazaGenocide
• pro-fossil fuels
• pro-gambling
• anti-environment
• failure to protect Indigenous sites 😢 #auspol

As living space in Gaza shrinks, remaining pockets endure hellish conditions ***

Nearly two million Palestinians, now forced into just 18% of the Gaza Strip, are enduring overcrowding, disease outbreaks and severe distress

Growing hardship especially for women and girls.

The UN, international rules based order is pretty much done. And Australia’s govt said not a word of compliant.

Might is right.

Albanese has not grasped that China, North Korea, Russia and anyone else can now claim the precedent of the Iran Bombing as justification for “pre-emptive” attacks.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

With Iran war as pretext, Israel suffocates the West Bank After striking Tehran, the army closed hundreds of gates to seal Palestinians inside towns and strand them on roads — proof of annexation in all but name.

"The ease with which Israel was able to cut off virtually all movement in and out of Palestinian towns and cities, thanks to an apparatus of control that includes nearly 900 checkpoints and gates, highlights the extent of the occupation’s footprint in the West Bank."

Penny Wong, 2003: "I say suspicion is not enough. To justify going to war we need more than suspicion. What sort of world would we live in if suspicion alone was justification for participation in unilateral military action outside the auspices of the UN? "

Didn’t they all invade Iraq for reasons that didn’t hold up to the mildest scrutiny?

What was Australia's role in Trump's attack on Iran? You're not allowed to know Other US allies are being transparent with their people about any role their nation played in the attack on Iran. But from Australia's leaders? Crickets.

So we were involved in this US-Iran strike, why bother dancing around the bush when all other countries have confirmed their lack of involvement
A lack of no just means 'yes, and you'll be upset if you knew the details'

A new justification for the war on Iran dropped today from the IDF: that Iran was aiming to produce 10k ballistic missiles "by the end of the decade".
This only casts further doubts on the claim that Iran has been building nuclear weapons.

In 2025 alone, Israel has bombed:
- Gaza
- Syria
- Lebanon
- Yemen
- The aid boat “Conscience” in international waters near Malta
- Iran
