How the fuck do we live in a place where 60+ women are killed every year including 4 in just the past few days yet there’s no National Day of Mourning or prominent lapel pins or sobbing politician speeches or Special Envoy or Royal Commission or endless media commentary for THEM?

If Albanese allows Marles to join the Peace Board we need a motion of no confidence on the floor of Parliament.
We can not allow Albanese’s cowardice to make Australia complicit in this madness any longer.
We are firmly on the wrong side of history right now.

It's "culturally unsafe" to have a Palestinian Aus author advocate against the systematic slaughter of hundreds of thousands of her people, but it's
"a good thing" for the president of apartheid Israel, which has committed daily massacres and mass starvation for 2yrs, to visit us. Unbearably racist.
