Iran President Pezeshkian at the UN:
"Those who are terrorists and train terrorists tell us that we are terrorists."
"For two hundred years, Iran has not attacked any country. For two hundred years, we have always defended ourselves."
"They bombed and killed these children, with weapons supplied by America and Israel. They were guilty of nothing. They had committed no crime."
"In Gaza, they murdered more than eighty thousand innocent people."
"Then they say others are terrorists, these are the ones causing instability -- are we the ones causing instability?"
"Anyone they want to destroy, they label a terrorist."
"Palestine remains a wound on the body of the conscience of the international community, and Gaza remains a symbol of the failure of international mechanisms to prevent the suffering of civilians."
"Israel murders thousands of people in Gaza every week. But Iran was bombed while at the negotiating table."
"Yet Israel receives billions of dollars in free weapons as a reward, and it is licensed to bomb any capital it wishes."
"The nuclear bombs are in Israel, but the inspectors are in Iran. Israel kills, yet Iran is sanctioned, and this is a tragedy that would make anyone you tell laugh."
"We must not build a world in which military power replaces legitimacy, sanctions replace diplomacy, terror replaces politics, and war replaces dialogue."
"We have found our answer. We need power. Because a nation that cannot defend itself, they crush it in this world."
"Let him know: the Iranian nation, in the face of force, will not bow its head, and will make the aggressors regret it."
It's always strange how the US uses its unparalleled military and economic power to strangle and suffocate the economies of small nations it dislikes, then points to the intended devastation as proof that those countries are bad and don't work, with no reference to the US role.
Lions getting umpired like its a final.
Crows getting umpired like it's Under 10s
Now I've got that off my chest, we are also getting played off the park

@lqmhr So ya wanna be a star of stage and screen?
Look out! It's rough and mean
I love how Bon's lyrics move from specific truths about the struggle of life on the road to this final warning about show business in general. And he wasn't wrong
There is NO group in the country more radical than the tech oligarchs currently in control who betray humanity for wealth, power and a cult like commitment to techno fascism. We must all unite against them.
@MetalcoreMagpie How many player do you reckon have been slurred though and it has not been reported. I'm guessing there's been plenty more in every team and not just Issac and a couple of others. Probably Goodes got slurred plenty
Here's my story from Pine Gap.
"The fight to end the US military occupation of Australia (and the entire world)"
It's a photo-essay this time because I took a tonne of pics, the country being this stunning, to help convey the Arrernte's struggle.

Yeah nah im not celebrating the means for mass murder and mass destruction because political leaders have either failed at diplomacy or are planning to make big bank from war. Fuck you
Where did it all go wrong? - asks the BBC, and takes us on a 5 minute tour of Starmer's downfall that never once mentions Gaza.
For millions of people in the UK it just feels as if the mainstream media lives on a different planet.
@davegraney I've noticed it as well, Dave. TV programming is well and truly part of the strictly enforced establishment "capture" we see in all our media. Nothing that challenges the narrative in the slightest. Can we have another youth rebellion please
@thegregfleet Idiots in the comments see Dave Hughes as a ex-leftist because he is no longer "kind" "reasonable" or "sticking up for the underdog". They're thrilled he has joined them in becoming "mean" "stupid" and "intolerant of diversity"
They don’t even bother trying to hide it anymore because they know their followers are too dumb to get it and media too complicit in the Trump clickbait business model to care. What a tinpot little dictatorship the US has become. Sad.
