“Israel is not even trying to hide the fact that it is committing genocide.

“They are proud of it. They are boasting about it. They relish it. They mock every child, woman, and man killed.”

— Norman Finkelstein

THIS is what you're defending, justifying and complicit in,
@albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social.

THIS.

How dare you lecture us about Hamas displaying a lack of humanity, in the face of Israel's blatant and constant barbarity and inhumanity. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

"Police argue expected number of Palestine protesters at Sunday rally poses significant safety concern"

Could the NSW Police bother to please get themselves a new script writer? They said the same fucking thing about the Sydney Harbour Bridge protest. FFS. #auspol #FreePalestine

Resistance (2020). Set during WWII.

Since before/after WWII, Zionists have killed countless thousands of Palestinian children, claiming in part that they present a danger to Israel's future.

"We will never forget."

Such a lie. And you've used WWII as an excuse to do the same. #GazaHolocaust

So many wicked lies, @albomp.bsky.social. We know of the decades of atrocities inflicted on Palestinians by Israel. We know Israel has no humanity. We know the IOF murdered 100s of civilians on 7 Oct. We know Israel holds at least 10,000 Palestinians hostage in torturous detention.

We know. #auspol

"Don't believe a word the government says—if you let them, they will prioritize their narrow interests over Jewish lives. That was true in the death camps in Buenos Aires back then, and it's true in the tunnels of Gaza today."

Perhaps now you could make time in your busy schedule, @albomp.bsky.social, to put out a statement to acknowledge the anniversaries of endless years of pain and terror for Palestinian people, so that we never forget the atrocities that were and continue to be inflicted by Israel. Thank you.

I'm sorry but it's just plain hilarious that we're still expected to hate Hamas after spending two years being shown exactly what it is that Hamas has been fighting.

The 'Surviving Malka Leifer' documentary is heart wrenching and traumatic but well worth your time.

It documents the Hell these three brave women have gone through, not least of which was how the Melbourne ultra-Orthodox Adass community closed ranks to protect their abuser, instead of her victims.

One wonders if it would be worth pointing out to Sarai Givaty-Luboschits that based on over 77 years of hard evidence we have before us, it is Israeli children who grow up to become terrorists in the IOF, not Palestinian children.

Probably not. #FuckZionism #FuckIsrael #EndTheGenocide

While the world is witnessing a GENOCIDE, the only "G" word our prime minister @albomp.bsky.social can bring himself to condemn or even say out loud is "GRAFFITI."

What an incredibly sick joke. What an excruciating lack of leadership at such a barbaric time in history. #auspol #GazaGenocide

"—perhaps its strength derived from a sort of widespread spontaneous humanitarianism, as well as from the clashing contradictions between Western liberal-democratic chatter—and the racist and colonial practice of supporting Israeli fascism."
