For anyone wanting to read more about the history of "transfer" would do well to read Nur Masalha's excellent book. Here is the blurb:
From the beginning of the Zionist enterprise to found a Jewish national home, or state, in Palestine, Zionists have been confronted with what was called the "Arab problem" — the fact that the "Land of Israel" was already populated. In this meticulous work, Nur Masalha examines one of the proposed solutions to that problem — the transfer of the indigenous Palestinian population to neighboring Arab lands. Masalha's book is the most comprehensive study to date on the concept of "transfer" in Zionist thinking from the late nineteenth century up to the 1948 war. Expulsion of the Palestinians is invaluable for the light it throws on the attitudes towards the Palestinians of the Israeli political and military decision-makers on the eve of the exodus of some 750,000 Palestinians during the 1948 war.
Netanyahu has been working on this for decades. Max Hastings overheared the young Benjamin Netanyahu dreaming of a war when, "if we get it right, we'll have a chance to get all the Arabs out... We can clear the West Bank and sort out Jerusalem."

It’s ridiculous that life-saving humanitarian aid in its most basic form of water and fuel is YET to be allowed into Gaza.
What little aid trucks Israel is allowing in they’re forcing them to take routes of “no mans land” where the Israeli army is facilitating criminal syndicates through the black market.
Israel was asked repeatedly to provide another route directly into Gaza to which Israel repeatedly refused.
In the months in which Israel did allow a little humanitarian aid into Gaza, Israeli settlers would stop them and destroy contents.
Meanwhile Palestinians in Gaza are starving and bombs are still relentless.
Arms embargo, & humanitarian aid NEEDS TO ENTER IN ENOUGH QUANTITIES IMMEDIATELY
Young mob in regional areas use social media to connect with other mob around the country. So do queer kids.
This ban will isolate and harm these kids.
We should crack down on social media companies directly for the harm they do.
Banning kids isn't the answer. 2/4
The audacity of Rinehart’s Peter Dutton to criticise Labor over cost of living, when the LNP have voted against every single cost of living measure Labor has proposed.

"Mr. Trump’s subsequent conviction on 34 felony counts did not keep him from regaining the presidency. Now, as he fills out his new administration, he has picked more than a dozen political operatives, lawyers and elected officials who attended the proceedings for key roles."
Racist Israeli minister Ayelet Shaked, who said “all Palestinians are the enemy” & “snakes” and advocated killing Palestinian mothers cuz they birth Palestinians,denied visa to Australia, cries (you guessed it) “anti-semitism” https://t.co/6X5chxeHYh
Climate scientist Michael Mann offered the same view in an essay soon after the election. “The United States is now poised to become an authoritarian state ruled by plutocrats and fossil fuel interests,”. “It is now, in short, a petrostate.”
Billionaires are pouring huge amounts of money into the political process — and both political parties.
Never before in American history have so few had so much wealth and economic and political power.
