If rebellion means to fight, a state lost sight of why it was built. If heresy's to reject a church, that rules with fear, or force, or guilt. Then let us all be rebels proud, and shameless heretics by creed. A tyrant's hand subjects the Earth, more heretic rebels are what She needs. Anon

Presently there are no humanitarian aid flotillas heading for Gaza. They were all turned back and the activists onboard detained and deported by the Israeli army. That's a red flag. Like if you're negotiating a ceasefire in good faith why not let all the humanitarian aid into Gaza right now.

53% of Gaza and what part of Gaza? while the borders remain shut to any freedom of movement. This is bullshit. I don't see why Palestinians would agree to this shitty deal.

NGOs bang on about their ‘community led’ campaigns.
Communities know this is absolute BS use of us for marketing / funding applications / reporting.
NGO campaigns are led by those that fund them - rich capitalist ‘philanthropists’, industry ‘collaborations’ and captured government bodies.

a series of Ice Age finger paintings on the limestone walls of Koonalda Cave dating back nearly 30,000 years. But in what has been called a “massive, tragic loss,” the cave’s traditional owners recently discovered that the ancient artwork has been vandalized irreparably

Yes, waking up to the truth about the ongoing genocide here is shocking. So well hidden. Well worth rebuilding with truth and justice

Just put the name of your suburb and state in search. Then add which First Nations Peoples country? I live on, or close by, tarntanya on unceded Kaurna country. Seriously, I was only learning this in the 2000s. You would think someone whose ancestors arrived almost 200 years ago would know.

This shocked me, it's blackwashed as fk

Let's not 'be done'. We can choose educating ourselves then educate others. Recognise First Nations Peoples sovereignty, and the right FNP have to govern their own country. 'Aboriginal Australians' is an assimilation name. Please name the people whose country you are on. I'm on Kaurna country

I have little faith either the US or Israel will be faithful to this deal (just look at Lebanon’s ceasefire). But the ‘I’m powerless’ play was nonsense when US spent 31$ bn supporting/assisting Israel’s war across the region across 2 admins. Some care more about Biden’s rep than our lives

It's clear that when the US wants a ceasefire deal, one miraculously occurs. Makes the "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" stuff from last year even more disgusting.

You can buy Elon Musk and X, you can buy Facebook and Instagram, you can buy TikTok and Google, you can buy all social media platforms and manipulate all of the algorithms.

But you can't buy the people of the world. They’ll never forget that Israel killed 200,000 children in Gaza
