@GrogsGamut@SenatorWong Also, still waiting for a condemnation of the genocide in Gaza, formally recognised by the UN 7 mths ago. We support Trump's unhinged behaviour & remain silent on the slaughter & starvation of 10s of 1000s of civilians in Gaza Israel has illegally blockaded for decades.
@bloodiedwombat@Paul_Karp Tragically, this Govt consistency of indecency. Our so-called progressive Govt in a liberal democracy is still silent on Israel's genocide in Gaza as declared by the UN. Silence is consent. The many Jews protesting that genocide know that!
@Just_Rad @germNation1 Global temperatures are verifiable public data. Yes, the 10 hottest yrs on revord have been in the last decade. Earth exceeded 1.5⁰C in 2024. The more frequent & intense fires & floods predicted were experienced here & elsewhere. Ask farmers if CC is real!
@EddreesTaj@AmyRemeikis There are a many journalists, & key UN personnel, naming & condemning Israel's genocide in Gaza. Our Govt should too. Our silence, in the face of the horrifying facts of the huge death toll of civilians, is reprehensible
consent!
Liberal logic:
> Rich family pays $35K in private school fees
> Gets $15K back as a tax deduction
> School still gets $5K in public funding
Taxpayer contribution to one kid’s private education? ~$20K. More than a public school kid gets.
Peak Liberal Logic: Subsidise the rich.
@HeatherMassey2 She even said Iga Swiatek would have beaten Gauff today! Outrageous! Losing with good grace & humility is key to the core values of competitive sport. I'll never see #Sebalenka the same again - unless she learns. When asked, Gauff said, I disagree. I beat Iga last time we played.
#Sabalenka's speech as runner up at #FrenchOpen was the most ungracious, unsporting & self-centred I've ever seen. Her screaming as she hits the ball is also self-indulgent & might be off-putting for her opponents. It is for many spectators. Lose better Aryna. It's a great sport!
@BazzaCC Still can't fathom how a majority of US voters swallowed Trump's crazy guff - he proved who he is the first time around, culminating in inviting Jan 6th attack on the Capitol, having lied about the election result being rigged when he lost! What are they thinking!
@lydian1904@SkyNewsAust Let Sky let it rip. Sky doesn't realise they helped produce the landslide ALP victory. We're not buying what Murdoch was selling to US voters. May they continue in their wilful ignorance.
@SkyNewsAust Smart move by Ley. Those women's performances generally & in the election campaign were of the exact nature that turned voters away from LNP. Negative, nasty carping at ALP & no positive LNP policy vision! Dutton & Price way over estimated her national credibility - a turnoff.
@AjAqrabawi Israel has illegally blockaded Palestinians in Gaza for decades, with all the oppressive, controlling of personal movement, importing of goods & medical supplies that entails. Israel's allowed to break laws with impunity! It's disgraceful.
@AmyRemeikis Remaining silent in the face of genocide is the greatest, most despicable moral failure for any liberal democracy. And made worse by trying get mandatory sentencing for hate speech in response to noisy zionists calling criticism of Israel's slaughter antisemetic.
@MaryKostakidis@Mat219783927263 Exactly, Mary. Every week at the Sunday rallies in Melb against the genocide by Israel in Gaza there's a contingent of "Jews for Palestine". OTOH far right Jews teach their kids that Palestinians are vermin.
Albanese says Netanyahu should abide by international law when he himself has not. He has not fulfilled Australia’s obligations under the Genocide Convention, nor has he followed the Orders made by the highest court in the world, the ICJ.
I’m glad he has finally said the withholding of food to starve a population is ‘unacceptable’ and ‘Israel’s excuses and explanations are untenable and lack credibility’.
Well, where has @AlboMP been for the last 21 months? The lot has been unacceptable, untenable, lacking in credibility.. criminal, and immoral. The fact he has done nothing to send a strong signal Australia withdraws support for a state committing genocide, along with other western leaders, has enabled the genocide of the Palestinian people, and no one will forget it.
Suddenly, something is shifting.
Israel's apologists have realised that a reckoning is coming.
They understand that they're not going to get away with this abomination.
And they are absolutely right 👇
