The capacity of these Israel supporters to deny the reality of Gaza ( and land theft, violence in West Bank) is incredible. Never again was supposed to mean just that
I wonder if, in his grief and anger, Mr Seidler turned his mind, if only for a moment, to the grief and anger of the families of the more than 70K Palestinians killed since 7/10/23. The overwhelming majority of them simply wanted to live #auspol #GazaGenocide

I am insulted that the Premier thinks I because I abhor and protest the genocide in Gaza I can’t also abhor the murderous acts committed on Jewish citizens and mourn their deaths. People like me, Premier, are not the problem.

How in the jingle-busting fuck do we live in a world where tens of millions are getting ready to celebrate the birthday of a Palestinian baby they wouldn’t feed, clothe or save from being bombed to smithereens were he alive today?

Which was more likely to incite antisemitic violence: weekly pro-Palestinian marches attended by hundreds of thousands of citizens, or the televised devastation of Gaza? It's a fair question, but even asking it may soon be illegal.

What do we want? - "Social cohesion!"

When do we want it? - "Just after we finish booing our political opponents at a memorial service!"

That one might need a bit more work.

Brilliant as ever from Amy Remeikis. The past week for politics and media in this country has been quite disgraceful and turned tragedy into the grubbiest tool of convenience, dividing us even further. Opportunistic and sickening.

The US has fought wars for bad reasons, but this would be the first time we fought a war for no reason.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout
