As an Israeli woman who lives in Australia, my heart goes out for my Palestinian cousins.
Netanyahu, stop the violence now and return Gaza and the occupied territories to the Palestinians. Israel cannot be a democratic state while opressing others.

[Iris Levin @levin_iris]

Stop the violence #GazaUnderAttak #IsraelPalestine #IsraelPalestineconflict
Israel cannot continue to opress the Palestinians and be a democratic nation. In solidarity with Gaza.

[Iris Levin @levin_iris]

On either side of the Gaza-Israel borderline, the impact of the conflict is very different

I am an academic and I call for a free Palestine and an end to the Israeli state's apartheid. This is integral to both my moral world view and my scholarship. Pass it on.

Today I realised I forgot to submit my last timesheet because it was due on the same day uni mgmt announced they want to cut my school, which will likely see departments and jobs disappear 🙃

[Rebecca Pierce @aptly_engineerd]

The most rapid increases occur between tenancies, not during them. Australia chooses to run a short-term renting experience, with the median stay around 18 months. This has to be addressed as well, or we will just drive up eviction-as-rent-increases.
