Re the protest, it turns out two MPs were yelling at Trump that he’s a terrorist:

‘MKs Aymen Odeh and Ofer Cassif were ejected from the Knesset during the speech as MKs shouted "terrorist." Odeh was holding up a sign protesting Trump reading "genocide."’

Donald Trump begins Knesset speech amid Gaza hostage release | The Jerusalem Post

Netanyahu praised Trump for a history of pro-Israel policies, including moving the embassy to Jerusalem, and providing support during the past 10 months against Hamas, Iran, and Houthi terrorists.

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

Israel highlighting how many 100s of aid trucks they will now allow into Gaza is a tacit admission that they were using aid as a weapon of war, by the way. seems weird not to talk about this

The reality is most of the young women were naive and coerced into going to Syria, and their children are victims of circumstance.
Both mothers and children have been traumatised by their experience and should be given help to build healthy lives back here, both physically & mentally

Shame on Labor- a lifelong voter but no more, my vote goes to Independents I respect and who are not hostage to the fossil fuel industry.
I dont have children- but dont the MPs who do fear the world they will leave them?

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

To all those who comment about subsidies for renewable energy, what are your thoughts on the $500,000,000 we taxpayers will fork over to bail out Glencore, who paid $0 tax in Oz, but posted a record profit? At least with renewable we are buying cheap endless energy security.

David Pocock asks Don Farrell some serious questions about why the govt has not implemented an important recommendation from the #RobodebtRC.
Farrell caught playing on his phone, not even paying attention.🙄 Pocock hasn’t the patience to try again & moves on. #Estimates

So much this. It also explains why there is now so much flirting with climate denial and deep state conspiracism on the right. When your theories have failed so completely it’s much easier to retreat from reality than attempt to explain it.

It nags at me that people are dancing around the fact that one reason centre-right think-tanks are in an intellectual crisis moment is because we've spent over a decade where lots of their ideas were tried out and didn't pan out as advertised.

This woman is amazing, not making her capture & mistreatment the story, keeping all eyes on Gaza and their plight against a genocidal regime. She is the best of us. Our governments around the world must act. Stop the genocide.
