#Breaking Kookaburra reveals: "@GuardianAus called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Bird of the Year,” but I would have to agree to an interview & a major photo shoot. I said koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa, probably is no good mate & took a pass. Thanks anyway!” #BirdOfTheYear
Today a righteous man was killed by the most wicked army on earth. Khaled Nabhan who we watched bid farewell to his beloved Reem, the soul of our soul, has joined her in the realm of souls where the wickedness of this so called humanity will no longer reach them. The man had an angelic presence to say the least. He smiled in the face of a genocide, and went around hospitals and camps comforting people despite his own pain. A man who seemed too good to be here. I longed for the day to meet him in person. I imagined the day the genocide would be over and he would be celebrated with awards around the world on the biggest stages. The demonized turbaned Muslim man who was everything they said he couldn’t be. Kind. Loving. Righteous. Resilient. Too good for this world. Our hearts are broken. I won’t post the picture of his bloodied face, just the smile they tried to make the world unsee. May Allah have mercy on you our brother and join you with your beloved Reem and Rasul ﷺ, and may we join you there one day too.
As the Israeli Gov and military has murdered over 7000 Palestinians, cut off food, water, power and now internet in Gaza, the UN overwhelming voted for a humanitarian truce - but the Aus gov abstained. Silence is complicity and the Aus people won't forget this. Ceasefire now.
Australian's complaining about leaving Israel and how hard and stressful the experience was ON A FREE, FULL SERVICED FLIGHT, whilst millions of Palestinians fled their already bombed homes, on foot, is a classic example of white privledge
Western math is supporting Ukraine against the illegal seizure of their land by an invading, authoritative force, but then supporting Israel's illegal seizure of Palastian land #FreePalastine
You ask the world to support your freedom fighters in Ukraine 🇺🇦 as they resist Russian occupation, but when Palestine 🇵🇸 against Israeli occupation, you sing a different tune. For real, where is your conscience?
The hypocrisy is showing.
The current Israeli government is overtly genocidal and routinely kills Palestinian civilians as a matter of policy; it’s about to kill many more. There’s no excuse for not knowing this; to rally behind them now is a statement of geopolitical preference, not moral principle.
Western newspapers won’t tell you about the massacres committed by the Israeli army. Zionism is always justifiable—settlers can kill, kidnap & steal, as well as institutionally monopolize violence as if it’s a fact of nature. But dare a Palestinian resist…
