"...journalist Maher Mughrabi explained why the resistance had to step up and fight for Gaza and the Palestinians.

He blamed the international community for its inaction and stressed that no one is willing to risk their future to defend Palestinians."

"This is why so many of us can't have a sane conversation with younger Jews."

The level of condescension is quite remarkable
According to Sarah Hurwitz, former speechwriter for Barack and Michelle Obama, Holocaust education has backfired:
"They think the lesson of the Holocaust is fighting Israel ...you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

The ABC, the Guardian, the Murdoch and 9Fax Press, The Saturday Paper, fucking ALL of it, has been complicit in this grotesque land theft and racist mass-murder spree. All of this has been clear for a long time now, and you have every right to resent the liars and cowards that paved this future.

As a handful of us have been screaming for a long time now: there is no "ceasefire". The UN security council has approved the further colonisation of Gaza, and Israel is being rewarded for its genocide. It's still the 1700s in the West, we just have phones and cheap dopamine addictions now.
A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.

"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."

This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

Obvs this was embarrassing and yet another example of Israel turning otherwise sensible people into logic-defying, genocide excusing sycophants. But it's also such a waste of an opportunity. Why wouldn't anyone want to learn from Hedges? The guy has more experience & integrity than almost anyone
