In war, civilians suffer, while the rich line their pockets.
Oil profits are up. Weapons companies are booming.
Meanwhile, schools and hospitals get bombed, and thousands die.
War makes billionaires and their corporations even richer. It’s just another business model for them.

Hard to think of anything more racist & culturally insensitive than banning Randa Abdul Fattah who’s just been exonerated after research Grant suspension. Adelaide Festival Board have wrought huge damage to Australia’s premier Writers’ Festival https://t.co/AlqeEanNpn
We must remember that you can mourn the loss of innocent lives at #Bondi at the same time as expressing outrage at #Israel#genocide in #Gaza. Don't be cowered. Stand firm against those who are seeking to close down criticism of Israel
"It is obscene how...the right has seized" on the Bondi Beach massacre "to advance an Islamophobic, anti-Palestinian agenda..., disgusting to see Israel’s politicians almost gleeful at the opportunity to distract from their genocidal onslaught in Gaza." https://t.co/cDuXo2Wxv7
Today Josh Frydenberg treated a terrorist attack as a political relaunch opportunity.
It’s one of the most repellent displays of opportunism ever in this history of Australian politics.
There's some relevant historical context. A thread.
