All that said it’s hard not to watch this without a sense of weary despair… we won’t save this world will we. Somehow the momentary needs and greed of vested interest will win out. A tiny self-absorbed few will do for the rest of us… they’ll blight the future to line their pockets. Sod ‘em.

“There’s no good music in the charts today” boomers may wish to consider how their Spotify subscription directly contributes to kicking the ladder away so the many amazing small bands can’t progress.

If the Israelis lay down their arms, a genocide ends immediately. If Hamas lays down their arms, Israel’s planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza happens quickly and without resistance.

Albo's Palestine delay an act of moral cowardice
The Albanese Government’s failure to move to follow the lead of the UK, Canada and France in recognising the state of Palestine smacks of cowardice.

They're literally trying to kill 2 million people and @senatorwong.bsky.social is breaking down the parts of a death plane into lethal and non-lethal.
That's the West in a nutshell. Silo everything. No accountability. Nothing is connected to anything else. Detachment to exist with barbarism.

Imagine spending all this time to become the most powerful people in government, and then ending up being on the wrong side history. That’s what Albanese and Wong are facing at the moment. The Monday Essay from New Politics. #AUSPOL @dlew919.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
Albanese and Wong are on the wrong side of history
Australia didn’t let distance stop it from acting against apartheid in South Africa. It shouldn’t let it be an excuse now. Palestine can’t wait, and it really time for Australia to act right now.

Shout to @abcnewsbot.bsky.social, 21 months into a genocide, for still trying to pretend this morning that Israel is bombing all its neighbours, this time Syria, so that it can 'stabilise the region'. If this were a just world, you'd be at the International Courts as well.

Segal's anti-semitism "review" can, and should, be ignored. There has been a longstanding need for better government work on anti-racism, but this review is compromised by the fact its first recommendation suggests codifying criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. Everything else stems from that.

I find myself completely unable to function today. I’ve seen a child surrounded by the flames of what was her family home. Starving babies. Defeated, broken men. Women cradling their shrouded children. It’s too much. And yet I still have to hear ‘but Hamas..’ FUCK OFF. Israel is committing genocide
