Taybeh, a small West Bank village known for its Christian heritage, is far from Gaza. But in the two years since October 7, life has changed dramatically as the genocide and Israeli occupation have affected all Palestinians.

Footage from the Israeli Occupation Forces assault on #Conscience, shortly before dawn. In international waters, close to Palestinian territorial waters. Another act of state piracy by the rogue, lawless Israeli occupation.

Two years on, the memory of October 7 returns as both catastrophe and possibility, reminding us that both resistance and surrender are choices haunted by loss. But two years on, we also learned something else: they are defeatable.

"Despite calling the Hamas fighters monsters for killing civilians, the cold reality is that the Israel Defence Force killed many more civilians that day than Hamas."

Actually Albo .. didn't Australia abstain from a ceasefire vote in Oct 2023, saying "We can affirm Israel's right to defend itself"?

Just saying bc your second last par says "consistently part of intl pressure for a ceasefire in Gaza"

Australia’s housing market isn’t a ladder, it’s a Ponzi scheme.

The new “first home buyer” plan just feeds the property lobby while renters queue in Bondi.

End negative gearing. Scrap CGT perks. Tax Airbnb rorts. Everyone knows how to fix it. No one’s got the guts.
