The truth is emerging — Australia made “strange offers” to the Iranian women’s soccer team to get them to defect from Iran — after a 2am phone convo between Trump and PM Albanese.
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.

IMAGINE SENDING 20 WARSHIPS TO INTERCEPT BOATS CARRYING MILK POWDER AND BABY FORMULA FOR STARVING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE GREATEST EVIL EXISTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!
As a journalist this is the most disturbing storyline I’ve ever covered. An endless stream of fabrications launched as part of a clear diplomatic and media strategy aimed at justifying a genocide.
Done with the complicity of many western outlets that tossed aside any semblance of journalistic rigor. And then the successful bullying of the UN even after Israel has killed *hundreds* of UN staff and their families.
It worked partly because nobody wants to be called a rape denier or rape apologist, even if the charge is absurd. But how does it feel to be complicit in genocide?
The reason I have been tormented for years, accused of the most absurd falsehoods -including being "a threat to the existence of the state of Israel", the U.S., and even "the global economy" (sic!)- is simple: and it’s all right here👇- Thank you @NimerSultany for the 🧵
MEDIA RELEASE: North Gaza siege demonstrates urgent need to cut ties and sanction Israel
The Jewish Council of Australia renews our calls for the Albanese Government to use all possible pressure to stop Israel committing the crime of genocide.
Yesterday, an Israeli strike targeting Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Hospital in central Gaza burned alive at least four Palestinians and injured dozens, many of them wounded patients.
The UN World Food Program reports that no food aid has entered the north of Gaza since October 1, putting over 400,000 people at severe risk of starvation.
In light of these developments, and the worsening conditions imposed on Palestinians in Gaza, and the West Bank, the Jewish Council renews our calls on the Government to immediately cut all military ties with and place sanctions on Israel.
Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer, Jewish Council of Australia:
“Penny Wong’s issuing of new sanctions on Iran today is hypocritical in the extreme. We are still waiting for the Australian government to take any substantial action against the Israeli government.
Palestinians in Gaza face death by Israeli assassinations, bombardment, and starvation. The images emerging of Israel’s latest massacres in Gaza ought to force governments like ours to take concrete action. Australia must pay heed to the ICJ and ensure that we are not complicit in war crimes and the crime of genocide.
With each passing day, it becomes clearer that Israel is a rogue state, enabled by the United States and its allies. We say this as part of a large and growing number of Jews – in Australia and around the world – who have been calling for a ceasefire for many months, and saying that Israel’s actions are completely incompatible with our Jewish values. Opposing this genocide is an honouring of our ancestors who were themselves the victims of genocide and racist violence.”
@BrightInsight6 Those trees planted by the land owners in an effort to make their value higher so they can earn more when the government takes them by eminent domain. Archeologists working on the issue and trees will be relocated. https://t.co/yaEY89iK0w
I need you to absorb everything I told @NewsMax here about NATO's military, intelligence & political reasons for seizing control over Telegram and using this new political prosecution of Pavel to finally get it.
But what could Australian unis possibly do to help…?

Lets understand the fixation. Thread 🧵
This haaretz report, apparently based on a defence source raises more questions than it answers. Some points.
1) Firstly, the source acknowledges that there were 3 missiles fired from a drone. There's no doubt that the operators knew it was an aid convoy. This isn't in question.
2) Upon destroying the first truck the source claims survivors got out and entered another truck.
3) The second truck was then attacked
4) The survivors then got out and were attacked a third time
5) These multiple strikes were done on three different vehicles the IDF knew to belong to aid workers
6) The defence official initially claimed a single Hamas operative got in the vehicle. They then say he stayed at the warehouse. At what point did they know his movements? If they knew his movements why wait till he was among aid workers.
7) Even if the presence of a Hamas member, on what basis does one Hamas member justify attacking three vehicles and 7 civilians
8) Furthermore, if the IDF attacked each vehicle in succession, they are implying that the terrorist survived the 1st and 2nd strike. (How did they know he survived?)
9) Indeed, if the IDF can tell that one Hamas operative survived they could target him alone surely?
10) Why would they wait till he departed in the vehicle to attack if this put all three vehicles in danger? Indeed, this implies the IDF protocol is to destroy all vehicles in a convoy if they see any survivors?
11) What this tell us is that the IDF will kill an almost unlimited or undefined number of civilians in order to potentially kill one Hamas member of unspecific rank or commitment
12) While we know that this is more or less how Israel operates, it also likely that they they are providing a cover story to hide a deliberate targeted attack on @WCKitchen
