Imagine if #Russia would be destroying the headquarters of UN's UNCHR in #Ukraine today.
It would be the leading news in the 'West', eclipsing Trump and Greenland.

World leaders should be marched through ruins of Gaza to actually witness firsthand what the genocidal far right Netanyahu regime has perpetrated upon the Palestinian people.

It's "culturally unsafe" to have a Palestinian Aus author advocate against the systematic slaughter of hundreds of thousands of her people, but it's
"a good thing" for the president of apartheid Israel, which has committed daily massacres and mass starvation for 2yrs, to visit us. Unbearably racist.
