This interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates has become controversial, but I'm glad the questions were asked, because the responses from Ta-Nehisi have such moral clarity. youtube.com/watch?v=kh-Sj5…

ABC journalist @anushri_sood in trouble for asking an excellent question. x.com/Partisangirl/s…
Syrian Girl@Partisangirl

ABC journalist @anushri_sood asked opposition leader @PeterDutton_MP why Hezbollah is even listed as a terrorist organisation? Rather than answer her, he started heavy breathing, and told her she's in trouble for daring to ask the question. This is what passes off as press freedom in Australia. What he should have said is that the US/Israel asked Australia to do it, that the majority of the world doesn't list them, and that they've never threatened Australia and only ever fought an illegal occupation within their own borders so the designation is entirely political.

“If you’re defending the suffering in Gaza…then I’m sorry, but you’re a sociopath.” Incredibly powerful and utterly compelling closing comments by Mehdi Hasan.

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt
With the outpouring horror in Gaza, one doesn't need to be a medical professional to empathize with these doctors' feelings. Enraged at the incessant brutality used against defenseless civilians. Offended at the flimsy justifications made up to cover for int'l crimes. Incapable to hear anyone's excuses anymore. Desperate for change, and accountability.

“It haunts us in our dreams.” Gaza doctors speak at the DNC with @UncommittedMvmt and beg the world to listen. “It’s the feeling that we have no ability to get the most powerful country in the world to stop the bombs.”

@GretchenMedia @qianjinghua Thank you. You are too kind. I’m fortunate to do something I love and to work with terrific students & colleagues - present and former. Thinking of you both.

@qianjinghua The opportunity to bring excellent educators from across the country online was a major benefit of the pandemic classes. It is lovely to have the students back on campus, but we - the team and the students - were lucky to have you.

No amount of argument about @SenatorPayman and how she got into the senate will help @AlboMP …the fact is her stand on Gaza is backed by the ALP platform and widely shared in the party and beyond in the Australian community. Israel’s onslaught is an obscenity.
