“We’ve all watched in disgust over the past 16 months as the once-impassioned politician, who used to make speeches in Parliament supporting Palestinian liberation, has overseen the contortion of his government’s PR apparatus in defence of Israel’s genocidal operation” ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
Why is my t-shirt more offensive to our prime minister than a 50-year assault on democracy?

It's disheartening to hear some believe Labor's silence on the Israeli narrative has no electoral cost. As someone who cares deeply about #Gaza, I wonder: has Labor lost valuable votes by not taking a stand? It's time for leaders to reflect on the values that resonate with all voters.

Former Defense Minister Accuses Israel of Committing War Crimes in Gaza

To our new followers: we've been organizing for Palestinian families in Gaza since July of this year. We are closing in on 2,000 workshop participants (since we started keeping track). Can you help us achieve our goal this long weekend of 100 new sign-ups? We have 12 workshops and 1 trans. consult ⬇️

“We advocate a free press and freedom of expression, but also the freedom of the government to decide not to fund incitement against the state of Israel.” Extraordinary double speak from the Israeli gov. Top notch.

Like Putin, Erdoğan, and Orbán, Netanyahu is trying to silence a critical, independent newspaper. Haaretz will not balk and will not morph into a pamphlet that publishes messages approved by the government and its leader.
