Israel's "right to self-defense" does not apply against an occupied people, says human rights attorney @4noura. "You cannot dominate another people and then use the claim of self-defense in order to protect that domination." https://t.co/vViIixZDT7

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

A nuclear armed country with a navy, an Air Force and an army with the world’s most sophisticated weapons is bombarding an open air prison, a besieged ghetto full of 2 million people with no where to run or hide. And our government officials support this atrocity.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Blanket statements like these w/ little context or acknowledgement of what precipitated this cycle of violence - namely, the expulsions of Palestinians and attacks on Al Aqsa - dehumanize Palestinians & imply the US will look the other way at human rights violations. It’s wrong.

In less than 24 hours, Israel bombed more than 3 towers which host most of local and international media outlets working in Gaza. This is alarming where Israel is imposing blackout on Media. This is a step to cover up more and more war crimes. #GazaUnderAttack

I am fed up with Latham’s bullying and time wasting. Every chance he gets Mark Latham works with the Liberals and Nationals to attack vulnerable people and working people.

I reckon it was time to call out his disgusting behaviour. #nswpol #auspol

The labor union movement has led the fight for equal rights and economic and social justice. Today, May Day, we reflect on those struggles, and pledge our support to protecting workers’ rights and building an economy based on human needs, not corporate greed.

RIP Jim Steinman. My favourite thing he made is this 1989 album by a female pop group he assembled, Pandora's Box. If you've never heard it, it's a must-listen. It's a bonkers trip that shows the depths of his creative genius. https://t.co/Rkwr3dtrJY
