SO FUCKING CRINGE 🇮🇱🤡

An Israeli diplomat completely lost it on live TV after accusing a journalist in India of wearing a dress resembling the Palestinian flag colours.

The journalist destroyed him.

Our leaders start illegal forever wars; they support a genocide in Gaza; they support the illegal war on Iran and attacks on nuclear facilities; they partner with ISIS leaders in Syria; they toppled the government in Kiev and allied with fascist militias; they roll out the red carpet for the Taliban, etc. But the political-media establishment has convinced the public that diplomacy with Russia is unacceptable, which conflicts with our "values". Indeed, the moral thing for our political-media establishment is to boycott diplomacy and claim weapons are the path to peace while hundreds of thousands of young men perish on the battlefield. We cannot have any discussion or debate because anyone who criticises these policies is smeared, censored, cancelled, and possibly even sanctioned. Ad hominem attacks and intimidation are the new norm; recognising competing security interests of the great powers is a treasonous effort to "legitimise" and support the enemy; negotiations are appeasement; and war has become a virtuous struggle against evil. Has Europe been hijacked by ideological warmongers?

Australia’s politician Penny Allman-Payne:

“Our government is thrilled to pose with Iranian female soccer players…”

“And yet, you’re quite happy watching the US and Israel drop bombs on schools and kill schoolgirls.”

“Your hypocrisy and doublespeak knows no bounds.”

⚡JUST IN - "US aircraft leave Spain after government says bases cannot be used for Iran"

This is what sovereignty looks like-a country that puts its principles above empire's demands.

[Susan Metcalfe @susanamet]

Dr Tamer Morris, international law senior lecturer, Sydney University on ABC News just now

"So when one state violates the use of force ... the legal obligation of every state is to ensure to stop that & not to support it. So for the Australian government to come out in support, & I must say was the first government to actively support this, is a violation of Australia's obligations under the use of force."

"Before you give your support, you must see or must consider whether it's legal or illegal. And so the comment we received from Minister Wong is we don't care about international law, we're going to support whether it's illegal or legal, and that's very problematic for Australia ... If anyone attacks us illegally we don't have a foot to stand on to say well that's an illegal act, because we have supported an illegal act."

“Its absolutely outrageous our PM puts out a statement that condemns Iran for a retaliatory attack as opposed to Israel & America that started the bombing in the first place"

Zach Polanski is spot on!

[Solo Monk @JJKALE2]

They're at again - this time it's Iranian babies they're slaughtering.

The death toll from a missile strike on a girls’ school in southern Iran has risen to almost 150.

This is the illegal war that this man supports.

Eternal shame on you @AlboMP.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

We warned you: the wholesale destruction of Gaza was not an exception, it was a blueprint to crush anyone who opposes the plutocratic imperialism embodied by US/Israel and their global allies.
Act now: defend int'l law from lawlessness, before the rupture becomes irreversible.

Jeffrey Sachs speaks directly to the people of Iran, exposing that the American government and its military-industrial complex are guilty of waging illegal wars

He defends innocent citizens by clarifying that these corrupt actions are entirely against the will of the Americans

Spanish PM condemns US-Israeli strikes on Iran:

"A war started without UN authorization, without Congress, without Security Council approval-a clear violation of international law."

More leaders should have this spine.

David Shoebridge has unleashed on the Labor govt for backing in Trump & Netanyahu’s latest illegal war in Iran
“which has already killed more than a hundred school kids”, with schools & hospitals “blown apart by Israeli missiles”
“That isn’t about the Iranian people.”💥 #auspol

Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez has condemned the US-Israel war on Iran as a breach of international law, emerging as one of the sole Western leaders to denounce the attacks.

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.

Cambridge University’s endowment fund invested over £140m ($189m) in the iShares ESG Select Screened S&P 500 fund, which holds shares in companies linked to Israeli human rights violations, including Palantir Technologies, GE Aerospace, and Caterpillar.

The investment, managed by University of Cambridge Investment Management (UCIM), has drawn criticism from academics and students, who accuse the university of secrecy and failing to divest from arms-related firms.

Palantir has worked with the Israeli Defense Ministry and ICE, GE Aerospace produces engines for Israeli military jets, and Caterpillar’s equipment has been used in demolitions of Palestinian property.

In the interest of national security, child & public safety, who else agrees that the Australian citizens serving in Israel's Genocidal Forces must be investigated for war crimes & crimes against humanity before being allowed back on our streets?
