Xmas is a time for celebration, reflection and self-healing with family, reading, viewing & charity. I have a message for governments, politicians and dictators of the world this year: self and political-interest, power and ego-centricity = CORRUPTION. You are appointed to serve, not to be served.

Gaza's Rafah border crossing was supposed to reopen in October as part of the ceasefire agreement. But the border remains closed, keeping Gaza shut off from the outside world and preventing families from reuniting with loves ones.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care.
This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.

"Palestinians displaced by Israels war in Gaza are facing a new threat"
Why are Palestinians displaced? Is it because Israel has damaged or destroyed over 90% of all housing in Gaza? And why didn't you mention the fact they are blocking the entry of tents/shelters into Gaza?

I thought it would be far to Crass and insensitive to point out that Netanyahu should take much of the blame for the #bondi attacks.
But as Netanyahu is happy to be that insensitive, I think it's only fair to say: "Netanyahu should take much of the blame for this."
