Just hit me: if Australia had responded to the 2002 Bali bombings proportionately to the way Israel responded to October 7, we would have invaded Indonesia for 124 days and killed some 11,600 Indonesians.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

A reminder when today the g3n0c1de deniers say, “You didn’t even let us grieve. Protests started on October 8” that from October 7 people were protesting the lies about ‘beheaded babies’ that made it obvious that Izrale was going to use October 7 to commit g3n0c1de.

Oh my goodness! Two (2) people were killed in Manchester and all the Z10nists are demanding that we must all stop what we’re doing and do performative mourning? The same people who have been berating us for not caring about Sudan and Myanmar?

H@m@S has agreed to return all the hostages. Since this is the only reason God’s special little flowers have been fighting (since 1948) I assume that they will all now withdraw to the land allocated to them in UN resolution 181. Because it’s only ever been about the hostages!

Now remember, children, don’t protest too ‘roughly’. The delicate little petals experience that as ‘violence’. Whereas I bet the good Rabbit believes committing genocide is simply ‘self-defence’.

Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.
If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Australian govt thinks it's 'job done' by recognizing Palestine.
Next steps reminder:
"1. Impose targeted sanctions on Israeli government officials responsible for war crimes.
2. End the two-way arms trade with Israel.
3. Hold Israel accountable for its blatant violations of international law."
