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 ?

When an Australian government isn't doing enough for its citizens, it doesn't grow the left, it grows the right and the right adjacent. The great misunderstanding in Australian politics is confusing why people do that, and how what they want is different to the ideology attached to where they went.

Excellent statement. Raised point that concerns me. Parl sits when Herzog here. Nothing announced-but will he address Parl? Announced that Canadian leader Mark Carney will during his March visit. If Herzog does, I anticipate mass exodus of ALP membership. Including me. #auspol #herzog #israel

The PM needs to realize that caving in to the Israel lobby is the last thing that will deliver 'social cohesion' for Australia.
If he is looking for national unity, and greater safety for Jews, inviting a genocide enthusiast will not deliver. #auspol

The PM does not give a damn about either social cohesion nor the safety of Jewish people.
His only concern is keeping his bosses in Washington happy.
Pretending that this malevolence is merely a well-intentioned error does nothing to help the situation.
