The only people the IDF enjoys murdering more than children are journalists.
Israel killed three Palestinian journalists in Gaza on Wednesday, including a freelance cameraman who contributed to CBS News.

Just went for an evening walk in my neighbourhood and it easy to spot the bogun, racist households. They very handily had their bloody (and I do mean symbolically bloody) flags out flapping in the breeze. Arseholes.

Whether it's illegal to say it or not (?), Israel is quite clearly committing genocide in Palestine. The Australian government (but not the Australian people) is quite clearly supporting it. And our farce of a democracy is being further eroded so people don't speak this truth.

Dear PM #Albanese, inviting #IssacHerzog to #Australia will not unify our country, in fact, it will do the opposite! He is a member of the #Netanyahu led #Knesset that is hell bent on genocide in #Palestine. The majority of thinking Aussies, and the world see their actions as pure evil! #auspol #AO

When peacefully protesting a genocide gets you sacked or smeared, sentenced to prison. But perpetrate a genocide, slaughter & starve to death 680,000 people, your warmly welcomed. If this doesn’t prove that the duopoly are morally bankrupt weasels, I truly despair for our humanity. We need Change.

8 weeks in Australia have been taken up with religious division and political division.
8 weeks on religion.
8 weeks on whose deity is better when 40% of us have no religion.
This is just a load of BS and needs to stop.

Albanese hasn't got the balls to contemplate that. If we taxed foreign owned fossil fuel companies the same as Norway and Qatar, we could fully fund Medicare, fully fund tertiary education, house everyone and on short time clear out national debt. All without even starting on Oz billionnaires
