Q: Did it really start on Oct 7?
A: Below is a list of laws and military orders, spanning decades, designed to suppress the Palestinian people. These policies target nearly every aspect of daily life with an intensity and focus that is unprecedented. The list is very, very long.

Just FYI for those that still doubt the ongoing genocide of the Palestine people.
For those wondering what ultimately led to Oct 7 uprising.
Now think.... if an illegal coloniser imposed this on you, what would you REALY do ?

Australian tax law has been weaponised to fund a foreign military, via misuse of the Charities Act.
Not to mention that subsidising a military overseen by individuals accused by the ICC of war crimes can be framed as complicity.

Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined.

Let's get this straight.
Is it OK to 'question' Israel's right to exist, but only becomes anti-Semitic if your conclusion is to 'deny' Israel's right to exist?
Or is even questioning it verboten?
And if not, when does the transition to anti-Semitism happen in that reasoning process and why?

Soooooo, if Israel didn’t let anyone leave Gaza since 10/23, does this suggest a death toll of 250k?
🚨🇵🇸 Gaza’s population has fallen by around 254,000 people — a 10.6% drop from pre-genocide estimates — after months of airstrikes and ground assaults since Oct 2023. Even after the 2025 ceasefire, continued attacks added to a devastating toll of women and children killed.

All other things being equal, why would you opt for the software with a remote kill-switch? Or that relies on anything based in a volatile, declining US?
“The main event is this: the world is building optionality away from U.S. policy and platform dependence. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it — because it’s showing up in procurement decisions, supply chains, defense budgets, and capital flows”

Former federal opposition leader Bill Shorten says he wants to know “what forces were at play” during the 2019 federal election, after Steve Bannon claimed he was behind a $60m advertising strategy that damaged Labor’s campaign.
In text messages released by the US Department of Justice linked to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Bannon, an American far-right political strategist, said he had influenced Australian billionaire Clive Palmer’s advertising. Continue reading...
