What does the Israeli Gov hope to achieve by this?
Oh, wait...
They should be internationally condemned and sanctioned for this.
Thousands more innocent Palestinian lives will be lost.

How do people still support this regime and the occupation?
Israel’s government says it will suspend the licenses of dozens of humanitarian groups operating in Gaza beginning Thursday, which relief workers say will lead to deeper suffering and difficulty receiving medicine. https://wapo.st/4qxbFWC

Francesca Albanese is a legend.
That is all.

"US sanctions have had sweeping consequences for Albanese. She has to live solely with cash: she cannot receive transfers or donations, collect her salary, or even buy a plane ticket online."
The price of standing up for international law and human rights.

The complicated life of Francesca Albanese: A rising figure in Italy but barred from every bank by Trump’s sanctions
The UN special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories has become a leading voice in her country, but she is on a US blacklist as if she were a terrorist and can only use cash

Why is there a rise in anti-Semitism (around the world)?
It's extremely complex, but...
Israel's gov promotes the idea that criticism of Israel = anti-Semitism.
Then Israel behaves "badly".
So, protests or complaints about Israel's actions = anti-Semitism.
But, Anti-zionism is not anti-Semitism

So. Another 19 (illegal) settlements "approved" for the West Bank. 2 state solution is very dead.
Ironically, a 1 state solution would truly expose the apartheid and potentially force change.
1 voice, 1 vote (if ever allowed) would see Israel become an Arab led state.

What a gutless bunch the pro stadium upper house members are.
House of review??
No longer can they call themselves that without provoking ridicule.
The planning commission review got it right.
The misguided nine have got it wrong.
Generations will not forget as they will be paying. #politas

Prediction: weak upper house independents cave and the stadium gets up.
- Libs will never be held to account because they will continue to languish in Gov.
- Alp will remain in opposition forever 'cause a) too gutless to oppose it and win outright majority b) to stupid to side with greens.

This is an example of where the Dems lost to Trump. Outspoken, funny, calling it out.
When @governorwalz.mn.gov and @kamalaharris.com were talking about how ridiculous and weird Trump was they looked and sounded amazing.
When the Dem suits took over it softened and lost the punch.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

I can't believe the Tas ALP.
On one hand screaming about handouts to TT line & their unsustainable 1.4billion debt, while supporting a 1.4billion debt for a stadium.
The mismanaged ferry project will be repeated at Mac Point.
It'll cost twice as much & take twice as long as forecast.

Not only is it going to look tacky, it's going to sound terrible.

How can Israel seriously demand Hamas return all the deceased hostages straight away?
It is almost certain that indiscriminate IDF bombing killed some of them, burying them under tonnes of rubble along with countless Palestinian civilians.
Israel will probably use it as a deal-breaker.

It frustrates me that Aurora can hold the Boyer mill to ransom when the only service they provide is as a middleman that reads the meter.
All because Basslink made Tas part of the NEM and Hydro can't generate and retail to Boyer.

I'm struggling with Josh Willie MP pushing a change petition to save Tafe courses...but supporting a debt-inducing stadium.
Here's a thought - drop the stadium Josh and use the $ to fund education and social services. They used to be pillars of the ALP.

I hope the ceasefire in Gaza holds.
But - I believe that this is but a brief pause until the remaining hostages are returned.
Once that happens there will be nothing to stop the Israel government completing the genocide of the Palestinians there.
I fear the worst, but hope for the best.
