American authoritarianism is an echo of tyrants’ past and its own unique perversion: shrouded in goldleaf, ski masks, and utter bullshit.

We must have some of the laziest journos in Australia . Do they ever do research on Gaza or just repeat what the coalition says as fact ?
Where is the outrage from Australian journos on the death of journos, HCW and 50,000 civilians in Gaza ?
Not their problem or concern ?

The US and Israel have played the long game for decades in Palestine, inflicting suffering that is incomprehensible to those who haven’t experienced it, on innocent civilians, all to steal land. The game was always ethnic cleansing, from over 100 years ago.

Now, Israel has lost in the domain of public opinion across the entire world: the gig is finally up. Everyone knows it is an illegal and illegitimate colony built on stolen land and unimaginable crimes. The images are forever; the crimes are forever.

Comparing the handwriting of the graffiti at Allawah with that at Woollahra 2 weeks earlier for which two Muslims were arrested. Same/same? Is there a detective in the house?

Israel is bombing the places the hostages are held while telling the world that Hamas is preventing a ceasefire and hostage exchange. This is textbook abuser behaviour: blame the victim while you’re abusing them for what it is you’re doing. This is psychopathy in its purest form.

This is dangerous misinformation: “Now there’s a ceasefire, we can get aid in.”
The humanitarian system delivers during wars because laws and customs protect aid workers & supply trucks.
Israel violated these laws repeatedly—and not one Western state acted to enforce them.

Every week I get several emails from people asking "what should I do?". Everyone can contribute in different ways, but the basics are fairly straightforward: join a union, work toward the creation of a mass-based ecosocialist party, and develop anti-imperialist solidarities.

After a year of regurgitating IDF propaganda unchallenged, it’s great to see ABC covering this B’Tselem report. Has something shifted at the public broadcaster? Maybe the ICC arrest warrants have prompted @abcnews to lay off the Hasbara & start reporting facts.
