Michael West is 100% correct! The genocide that #Netanyahu and the #Israeli #Knesset are perpetrating in #Gaza and the #Westbank in #Palestine is the reason that the Jewish diaspora is suffering resentment from all corners of the globe. #Bondi is but one example of his ongoing legacy. #Auspol

Just saw this. What utter bullshit. The Israel lobby are devoted to destroying the livelihoods of anyone who does not share their love of genocide.

Australia’s most significant military ally is now a rogue state. This fact should be more startling than it is. It should be cause for serious reconsideration of the country’s position. #auspol

The UK, Canada & Australia are reportedly in talks about potentially banning Twitter/X over Grok’s AI image generation, per The Telegraph.

Amid reports that Israel has killed more than 700 relatives of Palestinian journalists in Gaza, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate cited the ghastly number of deaths as evidence that Israel is using collective punishment to crush reporting of its genocidal war in Gaza.

Well this is f-d up. Turns out Ross was with CBP in El Paso during a time period when officers were often putting themselves in the path of moving vehicles, “justifying” the use of deadly force. Links to the report and story about Ross’s background in the comments below.

Jon Ross was stationed in El Paso, Texas from 2007 to 2015. The El Paso border patrol office was under review in 2010 to 2012 because they intentionally stood in front of vehicles to justify shooting. There were 62 accounts of border patrol officer standing in front of vehicles and shooting

To be clear, ICE is immigration enforcement, not law enforcement. Minneapolis is 1300 miles from the Mexican border, and they’re not typically going after white Canadians.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.
