“Australia backs UN resolution recognising ‘permanent sovereignty’ of Palestinians in major departure.” At last. ⁦@SenatorWong⁩ ⁦@Tony_Burke⁩ ⁦@tanya_plibersek⁩ A significant step as unchecked dispossession/killing worsens. Please RT. theguardian.com/australia-news…

@JJKALE2 You can believe that Israel needs to exist without supporting its genocidal expansionist agenda

Helen Mirren: “I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country beginning to put roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here.” “I believe in Israel. Israel must exist ‘for eternity’” timesofisrael.com/helen-mirren-i…

Permanent visas now.

“We should support the immediate and unconditional recognition of the State of Palestine” Retweet if you agree with Jeremy Corbyn. 🇵🇸

Dear @GuardianAus, when does one stop being referred to as an immigrant and is simply an Australian? How many years of being here would it take, or does it depend on skin colour? And have you ever referred to David Pocock as the immigrant senator? #auspol

Censorship check ✔️ If you see this post, just comment 🍉🇵🇸 or even a dot.

@elias_greig Politicians get free lunches in Parliament

Me neither

@Maynardgcrabbs I'm truly horrified that this is happening in 2024. We're heading back into the dark ages at an alarming pace

This came in the mail to my school ( I assume all schools!) From the IPA (Institute of Public Affairs) with a ‘Centre for the Australian Way of Life’ logo on it. It is a board game which focuses only on the voyage of the First Fleet. ( The teaching material from what I can tell…

@lindSAYhanNAH3 😢so sorry you experienced this. More fallout of MSM's consistent demonisation of trans people

This morning at the airport… 💔😭

@anthroprofhage encapsulates how I'm feeling

Former Palestinian Ambassador Ali Kazak: ‘The issue did not begin on 7 October last year, and Israel is not an innocent party defending itself as the government implies. Israel is a settler-colonial apartheid regime established at the expense of the Palestinian people and on the ruins of Palestine. With the backing of Britain, the US, and Western countries, three terrorist groups – the Haganah, Irgun, and Stern Gang – carried out dozens of massacres and ethnically cleansed two-thirds of the Palestinian population. They renamed the country ‘Israel’ in 1948, and declared the establishment of a colonial Zionist regime on 78% of Palestine; the three terrorist groups later merged to form the Israeli army. The United States and Western countries nurtured, armed, and appeased this monster they created in the Middle East, which has spiralled out of control, engaging in aggression, occupation, gross violations, war crimes and state terrorism. Australian politicians should realise that by appeasing Israel, they are undermining international law and order and jeopardising Australia’s security by encouraging other tyrant regimes to follow suit. Colonialists, occupiers and apartheid regimes do not have the right to defend their occupations and apartheid systems; it’s the occupied who have the right under international law to defend themselves, liberate their countries and exercise self-determination.’ In @johnmenadue johnmenadue.com/on-election-da…

To achieve anything resembling peace can we challenge 1) tribal conditioning of every kind; 2) the fantasy that “God” takes sides; 3) the absurdity that accelerating violence makes your tribe safer; 4) that only “our” lives matter; 5) that Western nations are kind,best & fairest.

It doesn’t start with gas chambers. It starts with saying immigrants eat your pets.

The stalking and pressure on the VC of USYD to resign has yielded some valuable insights in an email to Mark Scott from @ProfStuartRees. Here is a substantial excerpt: ‘Dear Mark, I do not underestimate the pressure you would have been under regarding the claim that certain students felt unsafe on campus and I note that you were obliged to make an apology for the alleged existence of anti-Semitism at Sydney. Having made many visits to the Gaza Strip, to the West Bank and having had several meetings with Israeli leaders of the peace movement and with leaders of Hamas, I have some understanding of anti-Semitism and of anti-Palestinianism. Back in Sydney, I’ve been disturbed by assumptions that the key prejudice concerns anti-Semitism. The record shows otherwise. In 2015, for example, seminars to discuss death & destruction in Palestine were held by departments of public health, social work/social policy and by the Centre for Peace & Conflict Studies. On each occasion students representing ‘Hebrew Studies’ arrived in substantial numbers to close down those seminars one of which was to have included an address by a distinguished Palestinian doctor. Physical intimidation by these invading students and their staff was successful. No-one made official complaints. It seemed to be taken for granted that any discussion of the plight of Palestinians must be anti-Semitic. Years earlier, in 2003 I was subject to sustained charges of anti-Semitism over the Sydney Peace Foundations’ choice of the brilliant Palestinian educator and politician Dr. Hanan Ashrawi as the Peace Prize recipient for that year. During that controversy I received significant support not only from Premier Bob Carr but also from former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and from the Sydney University Chancellor Dame Leonie Kramer. I’m not suggesting that anti-Semitic expressions on the Sydney campus do not exist, but PLEASE, let’s not be overawed by the demands of a hugely powerful lobby at a time when thousands of people in Gaza and in the West Bank have been slaughtered..’ #auspol

The world desperately needs all countries, including Australia, to uphold, abide by and enforce pre-existing international law equally, forcefully and fairly. Without fear or favour. In that case, humanitarian workers won’t be at risk, nor journalists, civilians, women and children. The best way to honor Zomi’s incredible life of selflessness and compassion is for Australia to be a strong, independent, unimpeachable force for international law.
