5 women have been murdered in Australia in just 10 days. This violent epidemic must stop. Men must stop murdering women. Men must do far more to stamp out the sexism & misogyny that breeds inequality and violence.

Ethnic cleansing occurs when one group of people removes “by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.” What Israel is doing is exactly that. Read more: religionnews.com/2023/10/31/don…

Killing children is evil, whether it is done by Hamas or by the State of Israel. We will not build a better world by killing each others families. Ceasefire now.

You can either follow Jesus, who inaugurated his ministry by saying he came to release the captives and set the oppressed free, or you can exalt enslavers. You cannot do both. If you are defending and venerating enslavers, you are not following Jesus.

More children have been killed in Gaza in the last 3 weeks than the total number killed in all global conflicts in the last four years. Let that sink in. Source: Save the Children/The Age.

Another woman is dead. That’s now 5 👩👩🏼👩🏾👩🏻👩🏼 killed in 10 days by the violence of men in Australia. To the men responding with “what about men?” I say to them it’s the same male violence killing us too. Yes #AllMen need to be part of ending this and part of the solution.

International humanitarian law is clear Civilians - Medical professionals - Hospitals - Ambulances - Clinics All are protected under the law of war.

It was an ADVISORY BODY. To give ADVICE on INDIGENOUS issues. If you are not an INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIAN then THE VOICE would NOT have affected YOU. THE VOICE would not have hurt YOU or taken away your HOUSE. Not a hard concept. Shameful result. #Referendum2023

Fascinating jolt of history Vote NO #VoteYesAustralia

For hundreds of years, Jewish people have been the victims of horrific violence. That historic backdrop of pain and trauma does not justify the crushing apartheid policies they’ve imposed on Gaza and the West Bank for over 50 years… but it does help explain it. For decades the Palestinians have endured daily doses of terror, discrimination and abuse from the State of Israel. That does not by any means justify the violence of Hamas… but it does help explain it. The current violence of both Hamas and the State of Israel create the conditions for more violence, adding fuel to an already combustible fire. For many people the evil we are seeing daily by both the State of Israel and Hamas makes more killing justifiable. But violence only leads to more violence. Hatred begets more hatred. We cannot build a better future by killing each other’s families. Jesus was right - if we live by the sword we die by the sword. Violence is a dead end. Love is the only way forward, even the audacious love for our enemies. Love requires treating the person on the other side of the wall as nothing short of sacred, a child of God made in the image of God. Killing babies is terrorism, whether it is done with bombs or with guns or knives - it is evil. Violence is always evil, no matter what flag it’s wrapped up in. Let us continue to work for peace… and do all we can to interrupt the war… and grieve every life lost… and commit ourselves to building a world where every person is sacred.

Tonight in Gaza, hundreds of thousands have nowhere to sleep. More than 2 million people lack basic necessities, water and electricity. Ambulances cannot reach the wounded. Civilians must be spared from the effects of hostilities.

Ireland stand with Palestine 🇵🇸

As the world heats up and we crush all records of heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, floods, and extreme weather events, as oceans warm and the icecaps melt at an accelerated rate, the psychotic leaders and board members @exxonmobil double down on extracting and burning more fossil fuels, crushing the thin veneer that they cared about the Paris Accords or any other climate commitments they have made. When your house burns down or your beachfront home washes away or when there are 1 billion climate refugees at our southern boarder, you will know where to focus your anger, pain, and grief. They are making it clear…they will do nothing to help us. They only care about tax breaks, war profits and taking money out of your pockets with their gouging prices. #ExxonKnew all along, before anyone, and continued anyway. Keep them far away from climate talks. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Of course we want our leaders to condemn all forms of antisemitism. We also want them to condemn the institutionalised system of domination, oppression of one race over another race. This is what Palestinians experience, daily. Why would you condemn one &not the other? J McKenna

83% of Australia's Indigenous have asked us to vote YES. Peter Dutton, Tony Abbott and John Howard said NO. On Saturday I'm voting with my Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Family. I'm Voting YES. Who's with me? #VoteYes

The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. How will this deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.
