Herzog protests. Medics attacked too, lawyers question police violence - Michael West
Monday's police actions against anti-genocide protestors in Sydney represent a significant escalation of unwarranted violence.

"Social cohesion is a scam, a strategy employed by the powerful to delegitimise and suppress the voices of the less powerful... If you are othered by powerful groups, you become the victim of cohesion, not the beneficiary; what you get from social cohesion is a punch from an armed official."
Nothing says cohesion like a punch in the head: Violence of Minns' goons exposes the lie of 'social cohesion'
NSW Police's actions against protesters in in Sydney was about the powerful dictating the terms of free speech — through state-sanctioned violence if necessary.

unpaywalled link to that AFR article on zionist screening of Biennale artists and exhibits. That the headline co-opts Indigenous Palestinian belonging and hopes for their homelands - olive groves and peace - to describe pro-Israel grievance campaigns is especially vile.

For World Cancer Day, here is another poem. I have such a hostility in me to everything this cancer has changed or taken away and that includes making me wear gloves when I change my son; making me treat him as a problem, as something I can't handle, even for a moment, is unforgivable.
