#Auspol.

Just FYI for those that still doubt the ongoing genocide of the Palestine people.

For those wondering what ultimately led to Oct 7 uprising.

Now think.... if an illegal coloniser imposed this on you, what would you REALY do ?

Talk With Saul @talkwithsaul.bsky.social · Jan 29

Q: Did it really start on Oct 7?
A: Below is a list of laws and military orders, spanning decades, designed to suppress the Palestinian people. These policies target nearly every aspect of daily life with an intensity and focus that is unprecedented. The list is very, very long.

Why does @albomp.bsky.social fear accountability? “since Labor came to power in May 2022 the rate of full FOI disclosures has slumped to historic lows – from 59 per cent of requests in 2011/12 to just 25 per cent in 2023/24”

Inside Albanese’s FOI reforms: ‘He hates transparency’

Labor’s reforms to freedom of information laws are opposed by every public submission made to the Senate, with the government’s record on secrecy worse than Scott Morrison’s.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

I hope you’re making plans for when your political career is over, because moves like this are hastening your departure. You’ve betrayed Australians & I doubt anyone will trust Labor at the next election. Bring on the Independents.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Said Kostakidis, “The attempt to shut down criticism of a genocide is morally reprehensible and dangerous. Those trying to control the narrative will not prevail”.

This train station in China cost $7.8 billion to build.

America could have built 4 of these over the last 2 years for under $32 billion, but we decided to send that money to Israel so they could kill a bunch of civilians.

Phillipson says Hamas committed appalling atrocities, inflicted significant suffering, killed countless civilians & took hostages, and for those reasons it can have no role in govt.

The Israeli regime has done all that & more. Why aren't you dictating who can govern Israel?
