DanTehan MP for Wannon is not known for nuance, empathy or depth of intellectual thought. The brilliance of Cathy Wilcox.
Do the electors of #Wannon support such a moral and intellectual vacuum?

How can we just stop this? Or make the world stop it? Sharing information, going on marches & feeling distress is nothing … does the world need to travel
to Gaza and stand with the Palestinians? We need to intervene somehow. Now.

Voted in London yesterday. Struck by the number of ratbag parties standing for the Senate in Victoria. Very hard choosing who to put last. Pauline Hanson or Clive Palmer or libertarians or LNP or ….

Shame on us. So the Jewish director of the Sydney Writers’ Festival resigns just before the program is announced. Echoes of 2023 Adelaide Writers Week where wonderful Louise Adler stood strong against the critics. I want to share her quote about balance. #SydneyWritersFestival #LouiseAdler

Last I looked the western world is mostly run by ‘white men’ (competent or not). So why is everything such a mess? Terrifying that fragile white men like these are in positions of power.

Ben-Gvir says returning land in Gaza IDF has taken by force is not acceptable? This man already has the blood of tens of thousands on his hands, women, children & Israeli hostages. By all means resign & bring down Netanyahu’s govt of blood. We see you Itamar Ben-Gvir & we know what you are.

Deej Babet (real name), the libertarian UAP Sen, on $230k of tax payers’ money pa, is up to usual attention-seeking tricks. Look who he’s cced this to. This exhibitionist is clearly misusing his Senatorial position in an official capacity requesting to interview Robinson. Shame.

How dare Israel invade the Gollan Heights? It is not their land. Netanyahu’s lebensraum is ‘necessary’ he says. I call bullsh*t. The world needs to stop appeasing Israel. Now.

There cannot be any other rational or humanitarian solution. Israel will never be safe nor free unless Palestine is also safe and free.
