ABC News has been repeatedly reporting that 140 people call for a royal commission into the Bondi shooting by ISIS linked men.

No mention of people calling for an end to genocide, sanctioning Israel, boycotting trade to & from israel…

No mention of deaths, bombings, oppression in Gaza either.

Why has the ABC declined to report on the Israeli government producing a hit-list of Australians they have declared antisemites? These people, whose greatest crime is wanting an end to the genocide Israel is conducting in Gaza now have a target on their backs.
Shameful lack of integrity .

It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

There are Australian-Israeli dual citizens serving with the IDF in the occupied Palestinian territories. There are credible reports of war crimes being committed by the IDF in these territories. Will Australia investigate AUS citizens' potential involvement in these crimes? #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism

"deaths of Gaza’s most vulnerable that will result from all of the Israeli govt’s manufactured crises are entirely preventable. But they will continue as long as the US allows them to."

And as long as governments like Australia's pretend they have no responsibility. #GazaGenocide #auspol

NBC News actually published this: "While Trump’s peace plan appears to be holding, albeit with regular Israeli airstrikes, the crisis endures."

Just imagine NBC framing it this way if Hamas engaged in "regular strikes against Israel?"

This is how legacy media normalizes genocide & white supremacy.

It’s about humanity

“Over 2 yrs into the Gazan genocide, nothing remotely like a support package has once been offered to the 100’s of Palestinians in Sydney whose Gazan relatives have been murdered, dispossessed, mutilated & starved by Israel with the aid of NSW gov & business.”

A colour-coded map of the United States titled “COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data and Levels (U.S.)” dated December 22, 2025. The map is produced by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) and attributed to Michael Hoerger, PhD, MSCR, MBA. States are shaded by COVID-19 wastewater transmission levels: Very High (dark red), High (red), Moderate (orange), Low (yellow), Very Low (pale yellow), and Limited Data (diagonal stripes). Several Midwest and parts of the Northeast show moderate to high levels, with at least one state in very high. A note says data were last updated 12/13/25 and that levels may be worse than shown. Text at the bottom states the U.S. is in its 12th COVID wave, with 16 states at moderate to very high transmission as of December 13, and variability even in very low regions.

Date: December 22, 2025 Author/Source: Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) A table titled “COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates” dated December 22, 2025, from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) model, source pmc19.com/data. The table lists U.S. states with columns for CDC level, estimated percentage actively infectious, and the chance that at least one person is infectious in a room of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people. Most states are marked Very Low, Low, or Moderate, while Connecticut, Kentucky, and Maine are highlighted in red as High prevalence. Estimated active infection ranges from 1 in 392 (0.3%) in California to 1 in 30–36 (2.8–3.4%) in high-prevalence states. Room-risk estimates rise sharply in high states, reaching 94–97% for rooms of 100 people. Several states are marked with an asterisk indicating limited data reporting. A note states that levels are likely considerably higher today due to lagged state reporting. Data last updated: 12/13/25.

Oklahoma is highlighted in red as High, with an estimate of 1 in 40 (2.5%) actively infectious, and room-risk estimates rising to 92% in a 100-person room. Moderate states include Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and West Virginia. Footnotes indicate limited reporting for some states, and that North Dakota has no direct data, using averages from Minnesota, Montana, and South Dakota.

⭕️ BREAKING: Saeed Abdeen, a premature Palestinian infant, has become the fourth child in just over a week to die after freezing in a seaside tent camp where his family was sheltering as temperatures plunged. Medical sources in Gaza told Drop Site he died from severe hypothermia. Israel continues to block aid from reaching Gaza, with shelter supplies for over 1.3 million people stockpiled just across the border. Palestinian journalist Wadeaa has launched a campaign calling for 100 million voices to pressure governments to allow humanitarian aid caravans into Gaza, as displaced families face deadly winter conditions. See new posts Conversation Translating Palestine @TranslatingPali “Today we lunch the #100MillionVoices campaign to get housing units into the Gaza Strip” @wadeaa_ .9 (IG) talks about the campaign to allow shelters into the Strip. Since the ceasefire, shelter aid has been blocked leaving 1000’s to face winter in makeshift tents. #MerryChristmas

The Palestinian diaspora is also very small. Slightly smaller than the Jewish diaspora. Out of the very small Palestinian population, about 12 million total, they have had at least 70,000 & more likely 400,000+ killed in 2 years. Maybe more than 1 in 30 of their entire community in 2 years, murdered
