Israel normalized genocide as a weapon of war—and the world is already copying the playbook. In Sudan, mass extermination has spiraled out of control using the same tactics Israel deployed in Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/isra...
Israel’s war on Gaza has made genocide an accepted weapon of war. We’re already seeing it in Sudan.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza set a global norm that views extermination as a ‘natural’ part of how nations and paramilitary groups wage war. We are already seeing this in Sudan.

Atrocious. There should be consequences for these constant attempts at capture.

If you don’t like that a man said people made him feel uneasy there then talk to your people about how they’re expected to treat people, don’t tell the paper to pull the piece where he talks about it.

My god how quickly we have capitulated. This is a man who was happily photographed signing bombs to be launched on Gaza. Pandering to this man does not help Australia’s Jewish community one bit.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

While none of these are acceptable in any way, shape or form, it's remarkable how many have no clear ideological motive, or are enacted by petty criminals or neo-nazis. It's directly counter to the idea that pro-Palestine marches are their sole and major cause.

Cannot emphasise enough how intensely fascist / violent it is to criminalise the act of being publicly opposed to civilian murder on false pretences

It is not hyperbole at all to present these government actions as something that will cause serious harm in a bunch of different ways

Focussing on this from a pure security perspective, it’s wild that an IS-linked attack was just carried out in Australia and we’re barely talking about it - the focus is on protestors and universities.
