What we need cannot be handed to us - if we don’t fight, we won’t win. 💥

Just so we're clear, Israel is now the first state to have an ethnicity-based death penalty since Nazi Germany.

It is crazy how the Bondi shooters were radicalized by the anti-genocide protests which took place from 2023 to 2025 and then invented a time machine and went back to 2019 to join ISIS.

[Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet]

So: ASIO knew about the gunman’s link to IS terror cell, his father was allowed to own several registered guns, and NSW Police knew they were being radicalised because Muslim community warned them about an extremist preacher, and the cops did nothing, and ASIO did nothing.

The richest 1% are responsible for the same quantity of planet-wrecking greenhouse gases as two-thirds of humanity.

These are not natural facts. They are the result of humanity’s choices.

We can, and must, decide to do things differently.

The World Court has just rejected all Israeli, US & western objections, ruled that the Israeli occupation of Gaza & the West Bank, including East Jerusalem (and all settlements), is entirely unlawful & declares Israel is committing racial segregation/apartheid in the OPT.

@JamesHa71758102 @AzimiMoz Australian immigration law is so biased, punitive and selective it could simply be described as hateful. You are treated differently based on where you are born. Nothing equal about it.

Israel is a material manifestation of an argument the west has been having with itself for generations, between its older genocidal settler-colonialist values and its purported values of modern times. Between the values of justice and egalitarianism we're taught to value in school, and the fact that the west is still a savage and murderous civilization that hasn't transcended its barbarity in the way it thinks it has.

The reason Israel has remained in this half-in, half-out state of ethnic cleansing with regard to the Palestinians is largely because the western backers who Israel's existence depends on won't fully get behind a 19th century-style extermination program to purge the land of an inconvenient population. Because the west remains a largely psychopathic and bloodthirsty civilization it still supports mountains of Israeli depravity, but because of the values it claims to uphold it also lacks the public consensus to go all-in on a final solution to the Palestinian question.

So until now Israel has remained in a kind of stasis, with Palestinians existing in this half-purged state and continuing to resist as any population would under such circumstances. And now we're at the point where the west is basically being told, "Either shit or get off the pot." Either commit to the full-blown elimination of the Palestinians via genocide or ethnic cleansing, or change course and actually start standing by the values you claim to stand by for the first time in your miserable existence. Either commit to the savagery of your genocidal past, or commit to a real civilizational transformation.

Gaza is asking us a very important question about ourselves. Our answer will set the course for the future of our entire world.
