"Video casts doubt on Israeli account of Gaza medic killings", says the BBC.
Most western legacy media similar.
Still can't bring themselves to state the obvious:
"Massacre of aid workers - Israeli authorities cover up yet another war crime".

Video casts doubt on Israeli account of Gaza medic killings
The video was published by the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), which said it was obtained from the phone of a paramedic who was killed.

We are living through a truly transitional period in history, which began sometime around the Big Bang and is tipped to end a few moments after the heat death of the universe.

Um, well leaving aside the fact you never asked how we could fund the $360 billion Aukus debacle…we could scrap the $14 billion per year in fossil fuel subsidies, abolish the 50% capital gain at tax discount or stop giving away more than half of the gas we export FOR FREE. There, fixed it!

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes.
This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

It took less than 4 hours for him completely agree with Albo after literal decades of gutting healthcare costs and opposing ALP reforms.
Either he admits his policies are wrong and Albo is right or he admits he's cowering away from a fight.
Or he's lying.
Weak. Either way #anyonebutdutton

Australia's richest 200 people are hoarding $625 billion.
We need $10 billion per year to raise the rate to the poverty line.
A 2% annual wealth tax on these 200 greedy cunts would cover it.
Eat the rich.

The major parties don't have the moral courage to protect the people and places we love.

Labor hasn’t delivered on more effective nature laws. It’s not just embarrassing, it’s calamitous | Tim Winton
