Actually I need to correct my last post to say “entire countries”.

Sigh.

There is an entire country that is so mentally unwell as a result of intergenerational trauma that it can justify any despicable act of cruelty and still claim to be acting with humanity, morality and self righteousness. Never again, unless it’s us and it’s in our name, with hatred in our hearts.

Question Time is like the festival of of dangerous ideas, if festival means wank, dangerous means dangerous and ideas means fuck all.

It’s not the subject matter, it’s the grotesquely voyeuristic and emotionally-manipulative construction of the reporting that makes me feel queasy. The stories are legit but if you showed it to me and asked me who produced it I’d be hard-pressed to say definitively which channel it originated from.

Wow. #4corners has turned into #60minutes.

To every apologist for Israel’s genocide: your intergenerational trauma does not entitle you to revisit your horror on others. The blood of innocents is on your hands and always will be and history will remember your foul inhumanity and your failure to learn from what was done. #Israel #Netanyahu

Why the fuck are we paying faith based schools? If you want your tax & your hospitals and roads and your faith based surgery & meds then don’t expect agnostics and atheists to pay for it. Oh right THE LEFT WING ACTUALLY CARE. Sell the pope’s jewellery and property. Oh wait. Entitlement.

How about #EhudOlmert gets his own god-damned house in order before criticising other countries’ attempts to shame Israel’s government for genocide and war crimes, displacing and killing and burning and maiming innocent Palestinians, including innocent children, babies and civilians.

Sigh. Jordan Shanks was so funny. Now we find out Labor are reducing freedom of information, absolutely crushing multi-representational democracy in favour of a two-ish party system, and we are feeding the maws of private consultancies with favour and without fear (PwC anyone?). Shill. Shrill.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, commits war crimes, supports apartheid, mutilates & murders children, avoids international scrutiny whilst claiming it’s being held to a higher standard of behaviour than others, faced a genocide then enacts one? Probably a … duck.

P. S. The disabled, POC, LGBTQ, Romany - we all had to dig our own graves too. We all care for all of us. Any human being would. Children are not Hamas & burning your way through kids, pretending that you’re defending yourself when you’re hiding your own corruption and crimes, is pure #netenyahu

#TheAge 18-month old Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub Al-Matouq faces life-threatening malnutrition #Gaza #Palestine. But it’s not #genocide is it, #Israel? You wouldn’t know what it looked like if it was #Kristallnacht & you then had to watch displaced people dig their own graves in a #HumanitarianCamp

Remember the name Daniel Luria. Israeli/Australian. “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again thousand times: there has never been a Palestinian people, nation, history. It doesn’t exist…”. When someone whines that Israel’s agenda isn’t genocidal, remember Daniel Luria. #TheAge 12.07.2025

Probity my fucking arse. Turns out a Defence minister’s senior aide is and has been a lobbyist for clients including Israeli arms-dealers. #AusPol #Marles #Fenton #Wells. What a fucking shitshow. #Labor

CALL IT OUT. We live in a full blown kakistocracy now & if each & every one of us does not support everyone else to call out every indecent act we will all end up being complicit in the fall & decay of this social democratic fabric that we have fought so hard & long to build on. It takes WORK people

#JacintaArdern #NZ #PM what is it about New Zealand (and forgive me, the antipodes in general) that engenders a particular type of intellectual who manages to be smart and funny and kind and a “crier, hugger, and a warrior”? #730report #ABCtv
