While Australians struggle to find housing, pay bills, and put food on the table in this cost of living crisis, the Albanese government will send $265 million in humanitarian assistance overseas.
Don't you think we should deal with our problems at home first, @AlboMP?

@MikeHudema there was a wave trial in SA some time ago... the trial failed..

@socialist1988 @gsantostasi @caitoz @marwilliamson interesting read

.@marwilliamson saying Gaza wasn't occupied because Israeli forces weren't there is like saying a prisoner is free because the warden isn't technically in the prison cell with him. Israel was/is exerting total control over Gaza's airspace, waters and borders. That's occupation.

@MelbInvest @bender360 @KosSamaras Israel receives $3 billion a year in US military aid. A Republican plan to provide them with a further $14.5 billion is on its way to the Senate.
International public opinion has a huge role to play here. Why do you think the Israeli government is trying to silence it?

A large part of the Left has become a warped mix of performance and bad faith actors on the problem of genocide.
Genocide. We have heard this word uttered a lot lately. Let’s list genocide acts of the last decade and see how many protests did we see in our streets against them.
Rohingya - over 40,000 killed.
Uyghur - number unknown but well over 50,000
Darfur - 500,000 killed (20 years)
Yemen - over 370,000 killed. This one is especially relevant because it was aided and sanctioned by our ‘western alliance’.
I can go on, for a long time.
Where were the protests? The flag waving?
When the killing is done by people similar to those being killed, us whites don’t care.
Throw into a conflict a Jewish element and the white person loses their mind.
Why is that folks? Why the silence? Why does my side of politics for example turn itself inside out on one conflict that involves Jews but devotes not one word against the other conflicts mentioned? Why?
I can go on. Like many who I see getting all hot under the collar about the terrible civilian casualties in Gaza (it’s terrible, I agree), argue against people like myself that Greeks and Armenians did not suffer the same fate. Or that Northern Cyprus is not occupied.
As I said. Performance and bad faith actors.
Kudos to those who have been consistent and called all of the above out.

@rohan_connolly Totally agree. Diminishes the purity of the Australian test outfit.

🏏 Perth's crowd on day one fell short of expectation.
Last week outgoing WA Cricket CEO Christina Matthews said she hoped for 25,000 fans on day one of the 'West Test'.

@RichardAOB @MelbInvest @KosSamaras most are calling for a ceasefire. And not the destruction of israel as a state by hamas and its backer and nor the destruction of palestine as a homeland for palestinians.,
English

@bender360 @MelbInvest @KosSamaras Firstly, I know enough about the region's history and politics to not need any more lectures on it.
Secondly, none of that (or anything else) is a justification for the humanitarian disaster still escalating in Gaza, or a case for silencing those calling for an end to it.
English

@RichardAOB @MelbInvest @KosSamaras go back to the creation of the Israel state. as soon as israel declared independance , the Arab nations attacked. Hamas , Hezbollah fought Israel. Black September fought Jordan. Innocent lives lost on all sides. A two state solution has to work
English

@MelbInvest @bender360 @KosSamaras Well if 10,000 dead Palestinian children disn't bother you, I'm sure you'll get over this shock.
English

They’ve never wanted a two state solution. They have always wanted the entire land to themselves and to forcibly expel the native Palestinian people out. They even assassinated their own prime minister in 1994, Yitzhak Rabin after he was close to establishing peace. It’s been confirmed that Netanyahu and the israeli government helped fund Hamas in order to further destabilise the Palestinians attempt at a two state solution.

No 2-state solution.
Of course not.
Israel wants all the land - one state, with no Arabs in it.

@RichardAOB @MelbInvest @KosSamaras they are calling for a ceasefire, but the Greens party here is parading with Palestinians protestors .
I havent seen them with the jewish community as much
English

@bender360 @MelbInvest @KosSamaras That is patently not true.
There has been loud and persistent condemnation of Hamas and their backers from the media, the UN and everyone else calling for a ceasefire, including no doubt whoever the hell people think the Left are in this country.
English

@RichardAOB @MelbInvest @KosSamaras and thats the problem , the media , the left and the UNM are calling on Israel to stop ( and fair enough )
but they are not calling on Hamas or Hezbollah to stop.
Given Qatar , Lebanon and Iran support these groups
English

@MelbInvest @KosSamaras Pay attention. Hamas don't want this slaughter to end any more than Netenyahu does.
English

@bender360 @KosSamaras Ok you’re waffling at this point (you already were)
English

@bender360 @KosSamaras I don’t know what this has to do with my reply but yes I acknowledge what the Turkish did and the multitude of genocides they’ve committed?
English

@SavvyBeeBen @KosSamaras my maltese ancestors were in Cyprus when the turks invaded... scum

@bender360 @KosSamaras My dude I just wish I could send you the many University papers I read on how insurgent groups actually work and how they are empowered but I doubt you would read them.

There’s outrage over this performance by the Israeli Ambassador & rightly so - but she’s merely expressing what Israel are doing & we’re seeing with our own eyes: the two state solution is trashed. This is not that, it’s genocide & ethnic cleansing. #Gaza
