A CNN investigation found that the IDF gunned down starving Palestinians trying to collect flour in Gaza. Then they bulldozed the corpses into unmarked graves, where they were left to rot and be scavenged by ravenous dogs.

“US offers to get Aus out of camps if they are issued with travel doc’s, but @australianlabor.bsky.social has said ‘this is not something the gov is considering.”
The camps are inhuman with life-threatening conditions. The indefinite detention of children, without charge, is unlawful.

Meanwhile, Israel remains accountable to no laws, no treaties and no global organizations. It takes what it wants, when it wants. It kills, destroys, pillages, imprisons, rapes and tortures because it has been allowed to.

Shameful, cowardly and unlawful. This is utterly disgraceful. The US wants the camp closed, it’s the perfect opportunity to get the women and children out, yet the Albanese Government refuses to repatriate them. Morally bankrupt.
Labor is failing to meet even Scott Morrison’s moral benchmark here. He brought Australian children home.

In many ways Albanese is the apotheosis of this process. He clings to the mythology of the lad from social housing who grew up to be PM, while effectively dismantling the social scaffolding that enabled his climb.
If parties reflect their leaders then Labor is a mirror of Albo as machine man.

Each day, we learn of Israel’s theft of yet another slice of Palestine. Piece by piece, acre by acre, the Palestinian nation has been seized by Israeli offensive forces and carved up by Zionist colonizers in contravention of all treaties, accords, “peace” agreements and the like.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Our involvement in AUKUS is unwarranted and despicable. The dent to our sovereignty is severe. The only beneficiaries being the retirement funds of both current and past politicians 😣
Fresh insight into why Labor is refusing to release the AUKUS review. US Undersecretary of Defence Elbridge Colby is backgrounding journalists on the upcoming US National Defence Review, calling Israel an “partner” and Australia “dependent.” That’s how they think. thenightly.com.au/politics/aus...
Why Australia is facing ‘dependent’ status over AUKUS deal
The Pentagon’s review has affirmed the timeline for the ambitious nuclear-submarine endeavour, but another key US defence document is soon expected to refer to Australia as a ‘dependent’ rather than a...

The Pentagon has announced the U.S. blew up another boat in the eastern Pacific, killing four people. The Pentagon claimed the boat was carrying drugs but once again offered no proof. The U.S. has now killed at least 87 people in 22 strikes on boats since September.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.
