Ethic cleansing, forced displacement is NEVER OKAY. I don't care who you pray to, but what is happening is not okay. Not normal, shouldn't be ignored by anyone.
Trump just announced that the United States will be “taking over” Gaza and will “level” it to the ground.
He said Palestinians should not live there anymore.

One of the mot profound things a tweeter ever said to me (and I wish I could remember who it was) was that: In Australia, we didn’t fight for freedom. We got it for good behaviour. This explains a lot about Australian culture.

The sad and inevitable truth is in another 10 years, when it is all said and done and it is irrefutable Israel committed a genocide in Palestine, there will be many a handwringing think piece from those who defend Israel's actions now, claiming 'we didn't know'. They know. Remember that they knew.
