Love Chris Hedges for his unswerving goodness, his intellect, his courage and mostly for his enormous contribution to our understanding Gaza. #NPC has covered itself in shameful obeisance to the Israeli lobby in Australia.

Only remember him as a person on same flt as then partner Lon-Adl. Family tragedy. He reflected then on my dying child as "only a promise" cos 3. Never saw him again. He meant well but gauche. Child survived. Thought he went south as respite from family.

West Bank is Palestinian territory. Israel has lost any claim to Palestine. Of course the moral and legal rights of any except Zionists are ignored by our own gov.

Let’s hope there’s a census done in Gaza ASAP. The world needs know how many Palestinians have been slaughtered by Israel.

#Unacceptable This word has been misunderstood and misused so often recently. Wong applied it to the current genocide while once it was a response to poor homework from a teacher. Can we please pursue some vocabulary when responding to events. Words have differing weights.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

#TwoStateDelusion no way can Palestinians live next door to Israelis who imprisoned, tortured, starved, murdered, persecuted them over many years. #FuckIsrael

Can we return to pushing for an end to short term rentals?
Consumers aren’t even using AirBnB anymore as the risks and hidden fees now outweigh the reliability, transparency and safety of motel accomodation.

#TwoStateDelusion Sums it up. Noone was expected to live next to Hitler after Auschwitz. How can Palestinians live next to his descendant Netanyahu?

Does anyone really believe Hamas had or has anything left to fight back with in any meaningful way for this whole time? I find that very hard to believe, @australia.theguardian.com. Hamas is not and has never been a military might. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #WesternMediaComplicity
