That time we wrote Free Gaza in big letters on the beach during Kelly Slater’s heat at the Margaret River Pro and they couldn’t do anything about it cos hundreds of people plus the world’s media were watching hehe

This is amazing thankyou Penny.
Here's a list of other things Gina's Hancock Prospecting sponsors. Gina doesn't care about Australia's future, only her own profits. Sports, arts and communities generally will ultimately pay a huge cost for her destructive behaviour. It's a bad a deal.

Rubble, gangs, and airstrikes: What was waiting for me back in Gaza City
I couldn’t wait to return north after the ceasefire. But the joy of being home quickly gave way to yet more uncertainty and fear.

What Israel's genocide has laid bare
What Israel's genocide has laid bare
Two years into an ongoing genocide — recognised as such by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B’Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights, Doctors without Borders, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, the University Network for Human Rights and countless scholars of international humanitarian law, genocide and Holocaust studies — we are now to normalise the obscene, and move on.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.
Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.
No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.
Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

The scale of destruction in #Gaza is beyond measure.
Over 61 million tons of debris now cover the Gaza Strip — homes, schools, and hospitals reduced to rubble.
Amid unliveable conditions, people keep moving in search of safety and dignity.

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

There has never been a fair and reasonable offer on the table because anything less than dismantling the Israeli ethno-supremacist settler colonial apartheid state is not fair nor reasonable.

Saying Trump deserves the Nobel peace prize for stopping the genocide he was arming & funding in Gaza as he keeps it occupied is like saying a wife-beater deserves a feminism award for agreeing to stop beating his wife to a pulp every night & locking her in the bathroom instead.

When 12 people were killed in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March.
But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing more than 67,173 civilians, 20,179 children, 376 UN aid workers, and 254 journalists in Gaza.

This aerial image from the 1960s shows that the 'yellow line' of Israel's redeployment in Gaza is roughly matching with the border of the area's coastal sand dune, leaving Gaza without the absolute majority of its agricultural areas on the fertile soils in the east.
