Long retired economist, inter alia. Political economy determines your nation's life course. Not a bad idea to turn control away from the exploiters and to give power back to Ordoliberal social policy. The returns are developmental. New Deal II, why not III
There is plenty of research which consistently shows empathy, compassion are absent in those of high financial outcome. i.e. those 1% elites are perfectly fine and dismissive of the fact - your destruction is even a concern. Elites and Stalin have the same attitude in common

USA supplied 70% of weapons and munitions. Australia sold parts to Israel during the conflict. British specialist military forces trained in Israel at peak conflict. Fact is US not the only country where the Israeli tail wags the Anglo dog. Israel buying off our 'leaders' the vector for control?

#auspol If the LNP and ALP hadn't sold australia out we'd be in the same boat (or a Japanese one) asPoland. See what the get for a few billion. They got 3 subs. We've spent way in excess of what Poland has - and we have NO SUBS TO SHOW FOR IT.

My wife and daughters are having a girl's get together (kids live in Vienna and Brussels respectively) and my wife got her phone out to take some pics. Phone cameras have come a long way.

No we do not stand with you. Netanyahu funded Hamas. He admitted to doing so. So are you going to eliminate Netanyahu?

What do you say about decades long assault on Palestine by Israel? Your mass murder, your settler land theft, your apartheid, your destruction of European infrastructure.

Fair comment - for many though it's as much the power as the money. However, MTG admitted she's not in the club, she won't get the power positions. Probs that lobby money may be under orders not come her way. And considering her background $21M is a King's ransom. She's also too selfish to waste it.

Dear Howard
When Israeli polling demonstrates the majority of Israeli's are fine with the destruction of Gaza it appears there is little reason not to condemn Israel as a nation. www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/...

Lawyer up then.

This would be an interesting discussion but with cursorily skimming a few articles can't comment. US statehood significantly higher in polls decades earlier. Current polling reflects anti-Trump sentiment as much as anything. Yet the 2017 Plebiscite suggests otherwise.
More reading. Good day to you.

"No Russian money can be allowed in British politics." Well, that's a lovely sentiment yet so far from reality it's on a comet across the galaxy.

At one time, iirc, 60% of his Cabinet was 'sponsored' with Russian Oligarch's cash.

Being an apologist for murder doesn't make you a good person. Here's a fact you can also call a lie, or whine about or try to negate.

So when Farage went to the Russian embassy or should it be, he met with Gufficer 2.0, or not? Then went to Assange, who then published HRC emails, followed by Trump welcoming Farage and the банда like long lost brothers - why would Trump even know Farage et al apart from Russia joining the dots?

Farage IS the Russia link. Or did your brilliant journalistic, er, posturing, forget?
