A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE.

It is the GUNS.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.

There are still people on social media telling me there's absolutely nothing more @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social could possibly do to stop Israel's Palestinian genocide.

When in fact Australia has not met even ONE of its OBLIGATIONS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW. #auspol #GazaGenocide

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Of course people of Jewish faith have the right to live without fear, George. This has my FULL support.

Exactly like people of Muslim faith have the right to live without fear as well as without settler-colonial violence, apartheid, illegal occupation of their lands & genocide. #auspol #BondiBeach

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:

Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.

He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

We don’t need to hear from the murderous war criminal Netanyahu who says this happened because we support a Palestinian state.
How dare he!

He can offer condolences without having a go at our PM.

Fuck him.
