Labor needs to respond immediately to the reports CSIRO will tomorrow sack a THIRD of the team working on Australia’s national climate model. Australia’s climate science capability is globally significant & locally irreplaceable. A shameful way to treat our scientists.

@GrogsGamut @AndrewDeathFlag @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP Tax the gas companies!!!! Just do it!

@GrogsGamut @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP Let’s not forget that apart from literally hundreds and thousands of disabled people being booted off into oblivion, LABOR just killed 204,000 jobs. Seriously. And a whole industry, plan management. Thanks for talking about this, Greg. There’s a nice media blackout on this.

Proud day eh @Mark_Butler_MP, @albomp? Could have taxed gas companies, decided instead to hit people with Down Syndrome. The perfect mix of gutless and cruel. theguardian.com/australia-news…

🇪🇸SPAIN'S IRENE MONTERO GOES OFF ON EU VICE-PRESIDENT KALLAS: “Israel has been for 24 hours Kidnapping European Citizens And You’re SMILING?!” “What would you do if it were Iran? If it were Russia? But since it is ISRAEL, you smile and look the other way.” “Shame on you”

Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir ATTACKS A FEMALE ACTIVIST and says: “WELCOME TO HELL. The summer camp is over.” Activists from the GLOBAL SUMOOD FLOTILLA are being ZIP-TIED and ABUSED while being forced to listen to ISRAEL’s national anthem.

Human rights expert @FrancescaAlbs: "Time is running out. A genocide and a man-made humanitarian catastrophe are unfolding in front of us and in #Gaza. I regret to see so many member states are avoiding acknowledging the suffering of the Palestinian people & instead look away."

@noplaceforsheep @ChrisMinnsMP Chris Minns is so biased in favour of Israel that he is prepared to damage Muslims in the process. We need someone who is Premier for every person in NSW

You wear a kippah @ChrisMinnsMP Why are your police arresting people for wearing a keffiyeh? Australia recognises the the state of Israel & the state of Palestine. Yet you are only criminalising Palestinian clothing?

@DaveMilbo @rambunctiousgo3 @AlboMP It terrifies me.

There's not a single Australian @AlboMP would protect from Israel, is there? Nothing about Zomi. Nothing at all about the flotilla, or the doctors serving in Gaza. Just gravely concerned inc. and some mumbly centrist trite about a two state solution. This should terrify us all

@D0NT_B_Stupid You might be confusing that with kidnapping. There’s usually a ransom associated with kidnapping. International law hostage is the relevant term.

@Soheli8 Hostage? What's the ransom?

Snap rally in Sydney this evening. Pls contact your MP to let them know that Israel’s violations of international law must be condemned & 11 Australians taken hostage must be released unharmed immediately.

@scozzieman @hugedownunder Ethan Floyd.

@Soheli8 @hugedownunder So now weirdo Shoebridge is indigenous?

@OzexpatinAsia Educator? Human rights? Blocked for rudeness.

@Soheli8 Tell me idiot. Is Australia breaking International law every time it intercepts a boat load of refugees outside of its territorial waters? Is that Piracy? Is that a war crime? That is how stupid you are

@hugedownunder 100% true.

@Soheli8 Not true!

Israel killed Nasser today in Harouf, South Lebanon. Not a fighter. Not a threat. A man with bread, trying to feed people. Read that again. They dropped bombs on a man distributing bread.

@hugedownunder The main speaker was indigenous. He & several other Indigenous Australians were flotilla participants.

@Soheli8 Not a single indigenous Australian insight at this protest. I wish people would just leave us minorities alone. Praying for my Jewish mates who must be living in absolute terror right now.

È SUCCESSO. Di nuovo. La marina militare israeliana ci ha abbordati. Le nostre barche sequestrate. I nostri corpi fermati. In acque internazionali. A centinaia di miglia da Gaza. Sotto gli occhi di un'Europa che guarda, tace, e con il suo silenzio si fa complice. Abbiamo lanciato il Mayday da ogni imbarcazione. Non è un gesto disperato, è un grido che chiede al mondo di essere testimone. Condividete. Fate girare questa voce ovunque. Questa è sempre stata una missione di pace. Di umanità. Niente armi, niente odio, solo persone che hanno scelto di stare dalla parte giusta della storia. Sì, ci avete fermato. Sì, ci arresterete. Sì, proverete a usare la paura come arma. Ma sappiatelo: non esiste manette abbastanza forte da fermare ciò che si è messo in moto. Non esiste tribunale che possa arrestare la coscienza del mondo. Potete sequestrare le barche. Non sequestrate il mare. Potete incatenare i corpi. Non incatenate l'umanità. Quello che soffia su queste acque, la solidarietà, l'amore, la resistenza di milioni di persone non lo abborderete mai. Non lo arresterete mai. Mai. Mai. Mai. 🇵🇸 Palestina libera.

"It's not inherently antisemitic for someone to hold views critical of Israel for their conduct in this war" – yesterday, we continued to cross examine expert witnesses to ensure that antisemitism isn't weaponised to stifle free speech supporting Palestine atthe Royal Commission
