Oh, FABULOUS, @albomp.bsky.social!

We're going to teach everyone how EVIL GENOCIDE and settler-colonialism is, yes? How no matter what your skin colour or your religion, you deserve the right to live and not suffer from illegal occupation, apartheid or state terrorism? #auspol #GazaGenocide #pfft

Oh yes, kindergartens, those incubators of hate.

Imagine if the same approach was considered to address all forms of bigotry, or violence against women, or any of the issues that are genuinely rampant among the population.

Hey our corrupt #auspol duopoly gov. Hey @australianlabor.bsky.social @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social if u weren't such a bunch of lying cunts owned by billionaires, multinational corporations & Zionists maybe Aussies wouldn't need to protest so much. Just can't help yourself to hide the growing outrage.
And so it begins.
Minns tries to distract from a security failure in the face of terrorist attack:
by suppressing the right to protest.

If he was really concerned about "community disharmony", he would stop sucking up to the Israel lobby. #nswpol

There are still people on social media telling me there's absolutely nothing more @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social could possibly do to stop Israel's Palestinian genocide.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Of course people of Jewish faith have the right to live without fear, George. This has my FULL support.

Exactly like people of Muslim faith have the right to live without fear as well as without settler-colonial violence, apartheid, illegal occupation of their lands & genocide. #auspol #BondiBeach
