The new, and murderous symbolism, of the lapel image now worn by ultranationalist Israeli politicians.
Their new symbol calls for continued killing of Palestinians, as the lapel image morphs from a ribbon (free the hostages)into a noose.

Who’d have thought, in this time of crisis, lies and propaganda, that it might be the Jerusalem Post that showed us an ethical direction? And, on another matter of ethics – the Jerusalem Post, again. ...

It’s understandable for farmers in the outback to have firearms relating to their job of cattle farming.
All recreational gun clubs especially in ‘cities’ should be required to provide a safe lockup room (not only a locker) for owners so firearms are not stored at home at all. #auspol

David Littleproud clearly getting nervous at the prospect of stronger gun laws has labelled gun sale restrictions a “cheap political diversion” by the govt to the Bondi attack.
Does he realise one of the terrorists legally owned six firearms? I think he knows but doesn’t care.
