Stop the starvation.
Lift the siege.
Let the UN, including @unrwa.org , do its lifesaving work.

"The reason the temperature around Kostakidis’ case has dropped is due to the fact that the heinous extermination process in Gaza is now much more entrenched, and the planet’s leading genocide scholars have recognised the crime of genocide is in progress."

Kostakidis to go before court, after judiciary recognises anti-Zionism is not antisemitism
Mary Kostakidis should hold her head up high right now, because of all the Australian journalists who are honestly calling out the holocaust that Israel is perpetrating against the Palestinians.

Can we also keep in mind that often the "antisemitism" claimed is NOT REAL eg graffiti that says, "FREE PALESTINE" or "END THE GAZA GENOCIDE" is NOT antisemitic.

HOWEVER, the RACISM and ISLAMOPHOBIA that non-white and Muslim Australians experience IS ACTUALLY REAL. #auspol

I can’t help but think that, a nomination to the Nobel Prize committee from a war criminal about a person who broke international law to bomb a third country, isn’t going to play how the orange fuckwit thinks it will.

The fact that Obama got one will be a constant irritant. That makes me happy
