Shayne Chester on F/Book "Was the Interception of the Madleen Legal? No. According to numerous legal experts and international human rights officials, Israel’s interception of the Madleen in international waters violates international law. The UN and ICC must act.
This is what the General-Secretary of Amnesty Internation thinks of Israel's bording of the "Madleen" and its genocide in Gaza. See:https://x.com/AgnesCallamard/status/1931980904555020528
Israel's boarding of the humanitarian aid ship the "Madleen" in international waters is another significant breach of human rights. The world needs to stand up against Israel.

Unless we move to a steady state economy - one where population growth and GDP growth is zero - we won't overcome climate change. To achieve this, degrowth is first necessary,. That does not mean we can't be compassionate and do our fair share for the refugee crisis in Australia
Degrowth is not about reducing all production, but reducing the ‘damaging and unnecessary forms that exist to service elite accumulation’ and needs to be accompanied by universal public services - @jasonhickel.bsky.social to a packed lecture hall in Sheffield last night
Where anti-semitism happens its unacceptable & needs 2 b dealt with. However, a much bigger issue in Australia is Islamophobia. Another example here: www.facebook.com/shayne.chest...
