@Resist_05 Mohamed Hadid, father of "Bella and Gigi Hadid", who is of Palestinian origin, describes how his parents allowed the Polish immigrants into their home, and the same refugees took his parents out of their own home a few years later.
Jonathan, this is straight-up anti-Palestinian racism & bigotry. Bella Hadid has absolutely nothing in common with the 1972 terrorists - other than the fact that she is Palestinian! Blaming people for the crimes of others who share their race or ethnicity is pure racism & bigotry
Important 🧵 to read. FOI emails reveal writers/poets were punished & had events cancelled by State Library of Victoria after board members proactively scoured their social media. If wordsmiths said anything about Palestinian human rights - cancelled. This is Australia 2024
I'm so relieved for freed Israeli hostages Noa, Almog, Andrey & Shlomiz.
I'm also very heartbroken by simultaneous murder of 200+ Palestinian in a continuation of senseless violence. It’s both futile & destructive.
Nobody is truly & safe & free until everyone is safe and free
Organise. Act. Now!
We often feel helpless, so little we can do. But we are the majority, the people on the side of life, of freedom, against colonialism, apartheid, racism. We must organise better to match the colonial powers with all their money, arms, profits, lies and media. When we organise better - with more people - we force our leaders to change their politics. Small groups of committed citizens can change the world, we know that! Don’t be alone. Organise, be active!
We are the stronger part. Palestine is winning, ISrael is losing. Truth is winning, lies are losing. Our solidarity is winning.
Organise. Act. Now!

Horrific massacre! Hundreds of people murdered(medical workers, displaced people, women/ men/ children). The biggest hospital in the Gaza strip destroyed, burned, and taken out of service. And some would still not call it a genocide. Some would still call this barbaric act as a “self-defence”. Some would still believe that this will ever bring peace to Israel.
We join a long history of progressive Jewish organisations who have spoken out in support of social justice and opposed to all forms of racism

I just put in a complaint to @AusPressCouncil about this John Carroll article on @australian.
This line; "Palestinians are imagined, in the progressive mind, as the new noble savages." Absolutely abhorrent.
