A History of Deception: US-Israeli Pacts and the Gaza Proposal

The airstrikes may have stopped, but the real war in Gaza has just begun, a silent war of grief and shattered hearts.
Every night without those we lost, Gaza turns into one endless house of mourning.

Attempting to “live with” (aka ignore) airborne viruses circulating at high levels *is a choice*.

And Australia was and is on the wrong side.
Our leaders will move on but we will remember they put us in a position of complicity to genocide. That is unforgivable.

When big business pays their share, it also adds to social trust. Actions not words.

If we want a better, more equal society, we need more tax. But more tax only works if big business pays their fair share | Grogonomics

Trust in both the tax and political system will falter if people feel they are being punished for not paying tax while large companies legally get away with paying nothing

Thank you Sarah

When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love | Sarah Schwartz

Not speaking would go against everything I was taught to honour: the righteous among the nations – those who refused to be bystanders to injustice

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

The Fear Factor

The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

It looks very much like the National Press Club statement lied about their cancellation of Chris Hedges. His appearance WAS confirmed, and even listed on the website, according to this.
(Hedges believes his talk on Gaza was cancelled following pressure from the pro-Israel lobby):

AFOPA is responding to the Statement published on 4 October 2025 by the National Press Club of Australia ( NPC) in relation to their cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National ...
