Listening to @abcnews radio news on the release of "Israeli hostages" and "Palestinian prisoners" and the "end of the war" and I'm really sick to death of this whitewashed pro-Israel biased shit that is genocide denial and dehumanizes Palestinians. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

First time Sussan Ley has finally got a policy position that's correct, as my local member if she keeps this up I might actually vote for her for the first time in my 69 years of life

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

I think Democrats should implement this nationwide at all protests.

A competent attorney with a bullhorn directly communicating to law enforcement and the surrounding cameras.

This is a VERY smart idea.

Repost this! We need this at every protest that looks like the police are there to start an uprising so they can crush it with the full force of the United States Federal Government.

Patriotism was refusing to fund this tyrannical government.

Fully agree, but I'd add Netanyahu and the Israeli Government to the list of despised and untustworthy

All political prisoners must be released, anyone resisting the invasion of Palestine must be released or it's a sham of a peace deal

I don't get the determination to make Columbus relevant to US history. He never set foot on US soil. He "discovered" a place where millions of people lived and vikings and Irish fishermen knew about. He thought he visited India until his deathbed. His contemporaries considered him a violent weirdo.

1970: Bertrand Russell on Palestine

The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was 'given' by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With evert new conflict their numbers have increased> How much longer is the world going to endure this spectacular wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have very right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled in masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East. Bertrand Russell 1970.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

So is ABC or any media going to show us or spk to any Palestinians who are miraculously still alive after 2yrs of daily bombings by Israel? Seems pretty one sided at the moment. Palestinians wrongly held captive by Israel are also being released today, barely a mention.
