The behaviour of the Israeli government = that of the German government during the years Hitler was in power.
The behaviour of the Israeli Jews = that of the German people during the years Hitler was in power.

The lobby is milking the Bondi Beach attack to silence critics of Israel's genocide
It is years of dedicated work by the Israel lobby that has ensured the mass murder of Palestinians is viewed by governments, the media and parts of the Jewish community as entirely legitimate

Exactly.
"Muslims shouldn't have to disarm a gunman in order for people to say, 'Well actually, Muslims, they're good people.'"

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @premthakker.bsky.social discuss the Muslim man who stopped a mass shooting in Australia.

Why would the NYT publish such hateful garbage? Why elevate this man with a history of writing anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian hate?

Again, using a tragedy to promote extremism, hate, and justify Israel's genocide.

Why aren't X, instagram, facebook, etc. regulated to protect all of us against the brain-rot that is causes in pretty much everyone who is on social media?

"More and More and More, An All-Consuming History of Energy" by J.B. Fressoz, paints the same picture: the insatiable appetite of humans.
There wasn't a transition from wood to coal. Mining coal meant the need for massive amounts of wood for pit props.

You hardly hear or see the media report on this, unless it concerns birds held for meat and egg consumption by humans.
The consequences of bird flu are far reaching and devastating wild life, and bird flu is made worse because of industrial poultry farming.

🤬Hungarians' anger was undeniable as they chanted “it’s all over” for the regime, echoing opposition leader Péter Magyar, outside PM Viktor Orbán’s Buda castle office at a weekend anti-gov't protest sparked by child-abuse scandals ignored or covered up by authorities. More videos in the thread.👇

Horrific and heartbreaking.

...and the result of Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza & West Bank, and to equate criticism of that as "antisemitism".
This warped zionists behaviour creates antisemitism & makes Jews anywhere less safe, means, full responsibility for these killings lies with Israel.

Opened my phone to news of the horrible killing of 12 Jews in Sydney.

And then video of the incredibly brave guy tackling one of the shooters.

Your regular reminder:

Canada's Constitutional powers aren't aren't separated on "responsibility".

The separation of powers is on jurisdiction to legislate.

Housing, healthcare, education, and rent control are everyone's responsibility, with a provincial carve out for provinces to LEGISLATE.

These people were killed by Israel, destroying their homes and leaving them with no shelter. Israel is destroying their water and electricity supplies and their sanitation systems. By Israel’s levelling their hospitals. By Israel starving them.
