“If the Christian world is to honour the meaning of Christmas, it must turn its gaze to Bethlehem — not the imagined one, but the real one, a town whose people today still cry out for justice, dignity and peace.”
A powerful reminder of what is at stake for Palestinians and other oppressed people.

Love to those in the Jewish community who are grieving tonight and solidarity with those who continue to come together to fight against all these forms of racist violence.
We are horrified and shaken in the wake of the mass shooting at a Chanukah event in Bondi this evening, which has left at least ten people dead and injured many more.
This is the first night of Chanukah when we gather with loved ones and friends to light the Chanukiah. 1/4

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
