This Hanukkah especially, take inspiration from my family’s act of defiance
As some Israeli soldiers light Hanukkah candles on the ruins of Palestinian homes in Gaza, we must look to the rich Jewish tradition of opposing tyranny.

I’ve recently read three different stories about 4ZZZ’s 50th. All good but haven’t seen one single reference to any of the Joint Efforts - which were the station’s single greatest contribution to Brisbane live music in the ‘70s and 80’s.
I wonder why?

Never ceases to amaze me that on threads like this the single biggest issue of the 21st century (the genocide) doesn’t even get mentioned in passing.
The Democratic Party's formula for the last 50 years has been "Let's be friendly with extreme wealth and maybe we can also get modest policy wins sometimes." The last 10 years and this year in particular should be conclusive proof of how badly this has failed. But we're stuck with it anyway

The IDF again claimed a “terrorist” posed an “imminent threat” to its troops — after shooting a child and running his body over with a tank.
This is the third case in two weeks in which Israeli soldiers have murdered young children and then issued the same justification.

Incredible the difference I'm observing mere hours after the child social media ban. Four boys on my street started a journey from their treehouse to find the body of a missing kid in the wilderness. Along the way, they're learning about themselves, & the meaning of friendship. Great to see
