“Zionism—Christian & Jewish—is the ideology now driving genocide. Modern Zionism is a continuation of Western colonialism—the use of violence to subdue & dominate other populations, chiefly to control their resources—but with the benefit of a “moral” cover story.”

In Gaza, Western colonialism has been unmasked
Through Israel and the ideology of Zionism, Western elites reinvented their ugly, racist system of control and sold it as a moral cause. Now the game is up.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

The letter essentially appeals to Israel to stop so the rest of us won't be asked to make any decision about anything. It also wrongly assumes some underlying legitimacy to Israel's actions, disagreeing really only with the execution. Predictably & typically weak, lazy & cowardly.

Either Albanese knew about Segal's relationship with Advance, in which case his judgement is atrocious, or he failed to apply basic due diligence, in which case his judgement is atrocious.

But, no doubt, there'll be zero consequences. Most media won't even report it.

I realise her role is antisemitism envoy but Segal was obviously appointed to that role bc of her leadership and status in officially pro-Israel lobby groups such as AICC and ECAJ.
She is pro-Israel and against antisemitism; Albanese chose to link these aspects officially. It’s not an inherent link.

What are these 'shared values' with our 'friends' Israel and the US? Is it white supremacy? Genocide? Corruption? Systematically murdering brown people? Or is it the 'democracy' thing, that we have two useless political options, both of which want to make things worse? Explain it to me like I'm 6.

Greta Thunberg knew that something like this would happen--that she and the rest of the team would be kidnapped by Israeli forces.

But she knew that her presence would increase global awareness of the genocide in Gaza.

That is courage. Brava.

In its latest act of utter impunity, Israeli forces have boarded the boats attempting to send aid to Gaza. That this was done in international waters makes it an act of piracy no?

Fossil fuel harm and Israel's genocide are linked in literal ways, but one of the more indirect links is how media outlets actively and consciously set out to defend, minimise and reframe the violence of the aggressors

Looked to me like Israeli drones sprayed the boat with some white paint-looking substance and then the IDF surrounded it, kidnapped the people on it and cut off their communications with the world. “Diverted” doing a lot of work here

Greta Thunberg and other human rights defenders have been kidnapped by Israel on international waters. The aid they were delivering to Gaza that includes baby formula & medical supplies has been stolen. The ship Madleen was attacked with drones & will be forced to port at Ashdod Port. #3E #FreeGaza
