Stop crediting Trump for the US government

Authoritarians gain power by building a fearsome reputation. Trump is the face of a posse of people and groups. We must not strengthen him, or allow them to hide.

Huge congratulations to Maria Corina Machado who has won the Nobel Imperialism Prize for steadfastly supporting Israel's genocide and calling on the US to invade her own country so she can be installed as puppet leader while Trump takes Venezuela's oil ♥️

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmoud has clarified that British people are allowed to protest as long as they don't protest too often, their protests aren't seen by anyone, and they are completely ineffective. Anything else is un-British and basically terrorism x

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from

The whole world watched Britain pretending to believe the UN aid agency was a terrorist organisation, then we all watched as UNRWA was replaced by criminals firing machine guns at starving people trying to get bags of flour, while press and politicians pretended not to understand what was happening.

Step-by-step, the mealy-mouthed whining (that may hide threats) to the cringing kowtowing still to Zionist appeasement, the British gov's shameful capitulation to foreign interference is THE SAME as in Australia.

Equal in their obsequious depravity, these are gov.s of *Labour* - such debased farce.

The design of the iZraeli flag is used to highlight text.
The central Star of David has been replaced by the top half of a Nazi Swastika, text replaces the bottom half.

Text, white within the top blue horizontal line:
The iZrael State corrals Palestinians through carpet bombing,
starving as many as they explode, then, through the promise of food aid, expose the survivors to endless firing squads.

Text, blue and covering the bottom half of the Swastika:
The Nazis captured Jews, shipped them in rail cattle cars, promised them the humanity of cleansing showers, and gased them with Zyklon B, derived from hydrogen cyanide.

Text, white within the bottom blue horizontal line:
The ghost of Adolf Eichmann must be confused.
Was he executed for committing genocide or
committing genocide without orgasmic joy?

Do not discount Aboriginal oral histories. They are often the only record of historical events like these, volcanoes and other major disruptions to life in Australia before colonisation, and can go back thousands of years with an accuracy that is unknown elsewhere.
