“Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.”
While Israel uses the 'ceasefire' as a smokescreen.

‘Genocide is not over,’ Amnesty leader says as Israel keeps bombing Gaza
“So far, there is no indication that Israel is taking serious measures to reverse the deadly impact of its crimes and no evidence that its intent has changed.”

We have tax and transfer payments, which are an extremely effective way of tackling inequality.
Government can fix them by increasing their amounts and reducing the administrative burden for recipients.
Give more money to poor people, close down tax loopholes and tax megaprofits.

Plus middle class Boomers gained money through inheritance and investments and hubris equally grew. The 70’s spirit of sharing shifted into “greed is good”. It’s important for everyone to recognize their role.

Why a reduction in male violence would potentially benefit males the most - so why do we seemingly ignore male on male violence?

In February this year, infamous trump said 'I am ready for it, the death penalty if you deal drugs', adding 'Dealers are too often treated with a slap on the wrist'.
He has granted clemency to a lot of high level dealers with extensive criminal records.

Why does the media never ask Zionists whether they support Palestine's "right to exist"? And, if they claim they do, to clarify their understanding of Palestine's borders and sovereignty? Jillian Segal is openly, defiantly pro-Zionist. What are her views? #auspol #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

killing someone is such an unnatural act. you don't break down those barriers without lifelong consequences to your psyche that are going to pop up, so ptsd is not so much of a diagnosis, as an expected side effect of a fucked up violent social construct of 'war'.

Federal Governments shouldn’t be involved in local sports grants. They should only provide grants to national organisations. States and councils need to be more involved.

GREG WHO ???
In 2016, when I said that our interventions in the Middle East made it fitting that we took a fair share of the displaced, Greg Sheridan of The Australian told me it was “moral cowardice.” This is Cold War 2.0 talk: any unethical position is fine to defend White? Christian? West from mixing. 🤮

They’re absolutely terrified of the less than 1 % of transgender people in USA. So afraid that they may catch it. Or their kid goes to school as a boy comes back as a girl.
They actually voted for a moron who said that in public. Same perv who simulated a blow job on a microphone.
