@KateEmersonBri Well Oct 7th was the greatest slaughter of Jews by the Israeli Government since the false flag Iraqi Bombings in the 1950's.

Considering that there are six degrees of separation for everyone on Earth, this is a particularly moronic observation.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Truly breathtaking. No shots fired are required for this invasion.

[Building Buddy @Building_Buddy]

@CatShoshanna So was the reaction to it. There is something definitely leaking from the Israeli radiator; and it is mean and ugly.

[Building Buddy @Building_Buddy]

@RabbiPoupko @mauthausen Yes bitch, you know; "Never again." A special reminder for you. Nothing wrong with a Free Palestine Shirt. Highly appropriate to the situation as well.

[Building Buddy @Building_Buddy]

@DaveSharma The Zionist lobby would have had the opportunity to cross-examine Palestine Action if they had not framed the testimony phase to exclude the anti-Zionist viewpoint. It is fitting that it only took a minimal pushback to expose the gaslighting of the mainstream Jewish lobby.

[Erik Warsaw @WarsawErik]

Look at the details of this atrocity.

These bodies were from an airstrike in November 2023! They are only now recovering the bodies!

Thank you @ShadowofEzra

The largest funeral in Palestinian history is taking place today with the bodies of 112 Palestinians being laid to rest.

My big brother is the lead surgeon in an Israeli medical start up which has just succeeded in its first human trials. They are about to change the world in a way that no one could have ever even imagined. Millions and millions of peoples lives will change drastically and they will be able to live normal lives again. My only hope is that zero antisemites ever get to use this new Israeli medical technology.

[Building Buddy @Building_Buddy]

A manifestation of things to come. There are tens of thousands of people under that rubble.

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

112 martyrs. 44 children. 43 women. 25 men. Out of 308.
196 remain under the rubble.
An entire neighbourhood. In a single massacre.

May God curse 'israel', the IOF, and their supporters. May they live in fear, misery, and anguish. And may they end up in Hell for eternity.

[Building Buddy @Building_Buddy]

The message is; "look how good we are to you, yet you still want to kill us?" What is really said; "Despite the depravity of our treatment of your people, we can still act kindly towards some of you." Why are they so suprised?

[AP @Average_NY_Guy]

This is a crazy story about a photo that illustrates the depravity of Palestinism and captures the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians perfectly.

In 2008, Israeli superstar Idan Raichel, one of Israel’s most beloved artists, volunteered to perform for children from Gaza who had been brought to Israel by Save a Child’s Heart.

This organization saves children from all over the world, including Palestinians, and brings them to Israel for life-saving treatment.

After the show, Raichel took the time to pose for a photo with one of the children and his father, embracing a child Israel had given a second chance at life.

Years later, that photo resurfaced after it was found by the IDF in Gaza.

It turned out that the father was a Hamas operative, and the child Israel had saved, the one who was given a second chance at life, grew up to become a Hamas terrorist and was ultimately killed while fighting for Hamas.

Stories like this are why so many on the Israeli side believe the conflict is a lost cause. You can offer medicine, surgery, and compassion, but none of it matters if the next generation is raised to see murdering you as part of a generational campaign of revenge.

Mass funeral of 112 people in Gaza

This picture alongside millions will be a testament to the apathy, inaction, inhumanity of our brutal world.

We could’ve stopped it. You definitely could have. May it haunt the whole world.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Israel has committed so many shocking atrocities over the past 2.5 years that many forgot how it massacred over 300 people in a November 2023 strike on Gaza’s Al-Sabra neighborhood

112 of those victims from two clans were just extracted from the rubble and given a mass funeral

Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Brett McGurk and Kamala Harris all have this blood on their hands

[Building Buddy @Building_Buddy]

Perhaps the real question is how you can keep going when you realise that you have fundamentally F8cked up. That nobody is buying your Apartheid BS.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

I came back from Israel with a question I wasn't expecting.
Not about antisemitism.
Not about geopolitics.
A much harder one.
How is a nation supposed to live beside a neighbor that openly says it wants to destroy you?

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

🚨Israel's style of "co-existence" in Jaffa, by War Minister Yoav Gallant:

His father stole a Palestinian home & squatted in it, even though a family was still inside. That family was forced to live with Gallant & share a bathroom & kitchen until Gallant took them to Ramallah & kept the rest of the house.

Gallant is narrating this with pride as some sort of a beautiful kumbaya story.

Yoav Gallant is named after "Operation Yoav"; a major terrorist attack which his father took part in. The operation saw the carpet bombing, ethnic cleansing & full destruction of 30 Palestinian villages, including my own family's village. All the Palestinian inhabitants were loaded on trucks at gunpoint & sent to Gaza.

Gallant was the Israeli war minister that called the very people his father ethnically cleansed to Gaza "Human Animals" & vowed to ban "all food, water, medicine, fuel & electricity" to the population his father caged in this enclave.

Gallant is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity & war crimes.

@ZachLewis3187 @JabariBrisport You want the fox in charge of the hen house?

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Thank you, Dave. I appreciate you reaching out to ask what you got wrong.

The clip we’re discussing is less than 90 seconds long. What I’m about to do demonstrates Brandolini's Law: where the amount of energy required to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude greater than that required to produce it. Or, in this case, it takes around 600 words to correct 90 seconds of your economic fan fiction.

1⃣ Between 0 and 30 seconds

You begin by confusing government debt with the Future Fund and appear to suggest that the Future Fund can't exist along side Govt debt.

They’re different things. One can exist without the other, and in Australia they do.

Australia's Future Fund was established in 2006 with an initial govt investment of about $60B. Its first annual report, in 2008, showed assets of around $64 billion - not the $100B you suggested.

Then, at around 27 seconds, you talk about the Future Fund as though it ceased to exist (you used the word 'had' as in past tense).

It still very much exists Dave. In fact, it's grown every single year since it was created. Today it's worth around $270 billion, or over $330 billion once the other funds under management are included (eg Medical Research / Housing Australia / Drought).

So before we're even 30 seconds into the clip you've managed to confuse government debt, the Future Fund, its size, and whether it still exists.

That’s a lot of economic history to get wrong in under 30 seconds.

2⃣ Around 32 seconds

You then claim Kevin Rudd used the Future Fund to "flush money through the economy".

Again, that’s simply false. The Future Fund wasn't used to fund the stimulus. It wasn't used to build school halls. It wasn’t used for any of the things you’re describing. In your defence, you do briefly flirt with the possibility that you don’t actually know what you’re talking about. Sadly, it was a very short-lived relationship.

The GFC stimulus was funded through government borrowing.

For context, construction approvals were collapsing, more than a million Australians worked in construction, and the objective was to stop unemployment exploding during the worst global financial crisis in generations.

You're welcome to argue that was the wrong policy (but you didn't). You’re not entitled to rewrite where the money came from.

3⃣ At about 44 seconds

You say, "I might be wrong".

I concede you were correct during this part of the video.

4⃣ From 44 seconds onwards

You make a series of broad claims about the GFC response.

Yes, government debt increased. That's true.

What you omit is that Australia's stimulus largely went directly to households rather than primarily rescuing financial institutions, as happened in many other countries.

The aim was simple: keep people spending, businesses operating and Australians employed while global demand collapsed. It's known as counter-cyclical fiscal policy.

Whether you agree with it politically is your business.

The specific outcome for Australia isn't contested though - Australia was one of only two economies in the OECD to avoid recession during the Global Financial Crisis. There's no reality where that wasn’t a comparatively impressive outcome.

The money didn’t need to "trickle down". The entire point was that it started at the bottom.

5⃣ Government debt

Throughout the clip (and in life generally) you repeatedly return to the theme Labor is responsible for Australia’s debt (which btw is comparatively low).

Here are the actual numbers of net debt added by each Govt since 2007.

> Rudd/Gillard: about $190 billion over six years.
> Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison: about $366 billion over nine years, around two-thirds of which pre-dated COVID.
> Albanese: about $75 billion over four years.

Those figures don’t support the story you've been telling people. And that’s really the issue.

This isn't about getting one date wrong or misremembering one statistic. Nearly every claim in your 90-second clip turns out to be either wrong or misleading.

If you're going to publicly lecture Australians about economic history, the bare minimum expectation is that you’ve first acquainted yourself with it.

Because once the errors have been pointed out, as they have been to you multiple times, every repetition stops looking like an accident and starts looking like a strategy.

Given your very public coffee with Angus Taylor last week, perhaps people are entitled to ask what that strategy might be.

[Building Buddy @Building_Buddy]

The idea is that the accusation itself automatically disqualifies the individual from the position. Astro turf the allegation & public detachment pushes the process to its logical conclusion.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

The ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, who issued an arrest warrant for Israel's genocidal PM Netanyahu, has been removed based on highly dubious accusations.

This came mere days after the US government vowed to "dismantle" the ICC.

The US empire wants to destroy all international law.
