A thread about yesterday. In 2018, I attended the final submissions in DPP vs #Pell. The last thing that Pell's defence presented to the jury was this summary of the principle of reasonable doubt:
An entire fucking country was left to beg on the Internet in order to survive. If the history books of the future don't talk about this as one of the biggest shames in our existence as a species we have truly failed.
I challenge every Australian journalist to watch the video of the killing and torture of West Papuan teenager Warinus Murib. You can't use excuses like "tyranny of distance" - this is our near neighbour. You failed Palestinians and now you fail West Papuans for failing to report
Going to bed thinking about the time the ABC sent 27 people to England cover the death of the Queen and yet barely bothered to report on South Africa’s case at the ICJ
Every interview I’ve seen of Palestinian resistance fighters are them talking about how much they yearn to have the freedom to live undisturbed and visit the beach, meanwhile Israeli soldiers go on camera telling us they will grind the bones of every man, woman, and child to dust
Palestinians are being slaughtered in their homeland by a bunch of foreigners who are flying in from around the world to take up the unique opportunity to carry out that slaughter.
the man in this photo, A’ed Abo Amro, was sniped by the IDF only a month after this photo went viral because he became a symbol of the resistance. never forget that ahed tamimi, plestia and every palestinian standing up publicly against israel are true heroes at risk
We’re finding out why it’s taken so long for Israel to let their hostages speak.
Because we continue to find out that even their own people are realizing their government is full of psychopaths who don’t actually care about the safety of the average Israeli.
Ukraine: 520 child killed during the war in 21 months - ICC arrest warrant issued to Putin.
Palestine: ~12,000 child killed during the war in ~2 months - no ICC arrest warrants issued to Netanyahu.
Terrified of what Palestinians will endure, but they have been enduring the same bombings and violence on repeat with no end in sight. With or without the resistance’s operation unfolding, the Israeli state will bomb Gaza regardless as it has been doing for the past 15 years.
