@Sentient4Truth @AlboMP @AdamBandt @PeterDutton_MP I reckon we’re involved through Pine Gap which is an American facility on our soil, spying on communications of all kinds around the world

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

Australia’s Pine Gap hunting targets for the US pro-Israel war against Yemen — is a far bigger contribution than a destroyer or planes.

Australian government “knows and concurs” with the use of Pine Gap — and is keeping it silent, so is our media.

"has supported" didn't mean tea and bikkies.
It means military operational support for identifying targets.
involvement in WarCrimes.

@AlboMP What does “has supported” mean? Please have the decency to tell the Australian people what exactly your government has done to aid Israeli genocide. Is Pine Gap being used to target Yemen and Gaza?

#pinegap must be returned to Australian control with no foreign employees (incl embedded US spies)

[John Morris @johnjmorris]

@AlboMP You are actively supporting the Gazan Genocide

This is support of a war crime, and indictable- in real time with Sth Africa's current case to the IJC

You should rescind your active support, troops and advisors, as well as target acquisition support from Pine Gap

[ClosePineGap @ClosePineGap]

Yes Close Pine Gap

[g @Baobao801]

@RichardMarlesMP Fuck that, close Pine gap

[TMH65 (Therese) @TMH651]

@PeterCronau @Rosie45703313 @Jansant Disturbing. I wish we could find a way to remove Pine Gap and the US from controlling what we do.

@JeremyRead00 @PeterCronau Pine gap
Basically a U.S. base on Aust soil

[Matt @MattH093]

Some of the signage. It’s a silent protest.

[WACA @akaWACA]

Direct action works.
Zim has re-routed its ship to avoid protest in Naarm/Melbourne. This will cost it big $s. This kind of action needs to happen everywhere.
Zim is not welcome, any shipping or freight company exporting to Israel is not welcome! #StopArmingIsrael

The entire position of the pro-Israel side of the Gaza debate is hinged on the premise that there is no limit on the number of innocents you can morally kill when pursuing a military objective. From their point of view, not only is it perfectly acceptable that ten thousand children have been killed by Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza, it would be perfectly acceptable if it was 100 thousand, or a million. As far as the Israel supporter's moral framework is concerned, Hamas could have killed one-tenth the number of Israelis it killed on October 7 and Israel can kill ten times the number of children it's killed, and Israel's actions in Gaza would still be moral.

For normal, psychologically healthy people, this position looks deranged. Of COURSE there's a limit on the number of innocent people it's acceptable to kill while pursuing military objectives, especially objectives that could be resolved non-militarily. The only exceptions would be situations in which there is no other option besides either defeating your enemy by any means necessary or facing your own annihilation. Since there is no rational argument that Hamas poses an existential threat to the state of Israel, and since there were options for responding to October 7 without dropping a single bomb, there is no argument to be made that it's acceptable to kill all these innocent human beings while pursuing the (completely unattainable) goal of wiping out armed resistance to Israel militarily.

Peace could be obtained by negotiating with the Palestinian resistance and achieving a deal that works for everyone. The uneasy, abusive status quo of October 6 could also be returned to by simply addressing the massive, spectacular failures of Israel's military and intelligence services which let October 7 happen in the first place. When you weigh these two options against the option of killing a thousand children a week in a military offensive in Gaza, both of them are self-evidently superior in the eyes of any normal, healthy person.

A peaceful resolution isn't impossible, it just isn't desired. It isn't desired because Israel has long sought to further expel Palestinians from their land, and the "war on Hamas" provides cover for that goal. The claim that Israel has no other choice but to snuff out tens of thousands of lives in the name of fighting Hamas is patently false; it doesn't need to, it just wants to. Ultimately their argument is "We need to kill all those people because we really really want to," which is not a valid defense.

ABC guest presenter dropped from Triple J over Gaza comments.

“Somehow if you listen to that [Low Key] track every single thing that that brother is talking about you would think that he wrote it yesterday,” Miss Kaninna told listeners.

“12 years later the genocide, the oppression and the continued hate towards Palestine people on their indigenous lands is wild.”

“As an Aboriginal sovereign woman I stand in solidarity with my brothers and sisters of Palestine,” she continued.

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

Thanks for the support. The kayakers delayed the ship (and the subsequent 3-other ships) by well over an hour, costing them time and money. #StopArmingIsrael #FreePalestine

Stella Assange: "A fair trial, let alone Julian’s safety on US soil, is an impossibility were he to be extradited. The persecution of this innocent journalist and publisher must end."

1/ Can you take a drink of water without thinking of the people of Gaza going thirsty & getting sick for lack of clean water? Can you eat a meal without thinking of them starving? Can you sleep a whole night in your bed without thinking of them being bombed in theirs?

Let’s boycott Barclays like we did in the struggle against apartheid SA. Move your accounts, don’t consider opening an account there. We forced Barclays out of SA, let’s get them to stop funding Israel’s war crimes!

Hundreds of UK health workers have shut down the central London headquarters of US tech giant Palantir after it was awarded a £330m contract by NHS England.

Palantir professes to be keeping the Israeli government “armed and ahead” in its ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
