On the anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers, I am posting the cartoon which was my response to the chest-beating nationalistic rhetoric immediately used by George W Bush to stir up support for a military response. The editor at the time would not publish it.

A crowd safety expert has now calculated an estimate of between 225,000 and 300,000 people at the Sydney Harbour Bridge march. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
We know the Sydney Harbour Bridge march against the killing in Gaza was huge – but just how big was it?
NSW police initially estimated the crowd at 90,000 but organisers say the figure was closer to 300,000 – and an independent expert agrees

I encourage you to go to the rallies for Palestine this weekend, wherever you are in Australia. Our government's actions are helping Israel maintain its genocidal starvation campaign in Gaza.

NEW: Bob Geldof lets rip over Gaza genocide.
PRESENTER: "Isn’t it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole?"
GELDOF: "Stop it Trevor. If Israelis want to protest, get in your cars. Stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border. Let your own army stop you. Shame on you.”

I visited Sarajevo once, a city that was under siege for almost 4 years. My guide had been a little boy during the siege. He showed me the scars on his legs from shrapnel. He said the thing that stayed with him the longest was the hunger. He talked about risking his life for a can of food.

Antoinette Lattouf was sacked three days into a five-day contract.
ABC management could have told the Israeli lobby she was going anyway.
But, in their sanctimonious nastiness, the Israeli lobby demanded more and, in their cowardice, the ABC agreed.

Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves
There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable

I song against Vietnam war and telling how rich kids dodge the draft.
At this level two things are possible :
- abysmal lack of culture
- a message of defiance to their temu Führer
