In Albania THE PEOPLE (ordinary citizens en masse) have:
(1) understood the link btw int'l plutocracy and the assault on national sovereignty
(2) UNITED to protect the latter from the former.

A case-study of people both making full use of and preserving their self-determination.

Why is this not on the front page of every newspaper?

Israel buried him under concrete... a young man from Gaza.
They tried to erase his existence.

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

A lot of people are saying on social media today that a public campaign against Premier Jacinta Allen using the phrase “Ditch the Witch” isn’t sexist because they’ve heard of MFW and know we proudly use the word witches.

Please.

They must not have heard about how we started, which was as the result of an extraordinarily sexist text message sent by Peter Dutton to a mate, and which he accidentally sent to a woman journo instead.

They must not understand history, in which all women who were in the slightest way outspoken or different or not perfectly aligned with patriarchal requirements were called witches and often viciously murdered for their so-called sins.

And they must not understand parody, in which we witches have re-claimed the word “witch” to mean all women who protest the outrageous misogyny so many men practice with barely any constraint.

Because we’re here to clearly say that yes: the campaign against Allen is deeply sexist, just as it was sexist when it was used to denigrate then-PM Julia Gillard (pic in comments), and when it’s been used to stir up hatred towards any women with power or influence or anything other than simply being perfectly pretty and perfectly unheard.

What’s more, the campaign couldn’t be anything BUT deeply problematic, funded as it has been by a consortium of what appears to be a deeply right-wing group of men who want nothing more than to oust Allen from her job, and promoted widely in #NewsCorpse publications in ways which further harm Allen and her government:
“‘[Allan] doesn’t answer questions. She’s not accountable to everything … It’s just how people are feeling. That’s what they’re resorting to’ Puleo said. ‘That’s not a political ad. It’s basically what the Victorian public feel’.”
https://t.co/GQ2N1VsQiN?

The campaign is despicable, and the billboards should be banned. Today. Anything else is unacceptable, and does nothing but show the endemic hatred for women among large sections of conservative men and politics in this country (and among many progressive men and groups too, but that’s another story).

For fuck sake, ban these billboards. They’re hate speech. And us calling ourselves witches as a way to parody that hate will never make the use of the word okay in other settings and formats.

That’s all.

@SenatorWong @RichardMarlesMP Did you know that Richard Marles’ Chief of Staff, Lucien Wells, is in a relationship with Sacha Fenton, a registered lobbyist for the military industrial complex including an Israeli government–owned weapons subsidiary?

How is this not a security risk?

79% of Australians have an unfavourable view of Israel, 90% of younger people. So why does the government keep supporting Israel and ignoring its genocidal behavour in Gaza and Lebanon?
Why can’t they see what everyone else can see right in front of them?

We've stopped talking about Taylor's "Cayman Is. Entity" which was paid $80,000,000 for water.

The deal was set up & approved by the $32,000 a day drought envoy Barnaby Joyce.

The water ended up being imaginary, the money very real, has never been recovered.

He wants to be PM!

[Itay Epshtain @EpshtainItay]

A Jewish lynch mob has raided the Palestinian village of Huwara this morning, assaulting two Palestinians.

This, despite appearances, is not a story of "extremism". To describe it as such is to obscure the legal reality.

Settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territory has long been directed by organs of the State. The perpetrators operate as auxiliary militias, at times in civilian clothes, at times in uniform, but increasingly with functions that blur any meaningful distinction.

From that reality flows a conclusion that is as simple as it is complex. Under international law, responsibility lies not only with the individuals who wield the firearms, but with the occupying Power that supports their actions.

The remedy is not another condemnation. It is compliance with the law. As the International Court of Justice has made clear, Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful. The obligation is to bring that presence to an end, completely, unconditionally, and without delay.

[Solo Monk @JJKALE2]

Chris Sidoti, UN Human Rights investigator, Law expert:

"Every Australian citizen who has dual nationality and who has served in the IDF in the GENOCIDE in Gaza since 7/Oct/2023 must be investigated as war criminals and prosecuted."

All of them. Who else agrees with Chris?

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I am more than familiar with Palestine history during the British occupation -its crimes and legacy - and yet. Watching #Palestine36 was a gut-wrenching experience.

Gentle as it can be, Palestinian storytelling cannot hide the horror of the crimes Palestinians have endured.
