Make this post one you watch and share today. And every day.
Understand Israel and Netanyahu are devious, aggressive, apartheid, colonialist, anti peace, anti Palestinian, anti humanity, but pro-war, pro-genocide.
He’s always been a liar and hateful cheat. Psychopath.

I don't get why the oil, coal & gas execs, the govts who give them approval to continue causing this, to, in fact, make it worse ... why they seem to think they'll be immune to the results of all their damage. No sane human would continue 'to light a match when the gas bottle is leaking'.

First Nations leaders have urged governments to take stronger action in response to the alleged attack at an Invasion Day rally in Perth on Monday. Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss says failing to do so "sends a message that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people do not matter".

A near 100 per cent renewable grid is readily achievable and affordable
Three years of daily simulations show that very close to 100% renewable electricity is feasible for Australia’s main grid at reasonable cost, using just several hours of battery storage.
