"People are sick of the bullshit in here. It is a genocide in Gaza and you are abetting it, and you're risking a nuclear war in Ukraine." The Grayzone's journalist Liam Cosgrove confronts US Spox Matthew Miller.

🚨It didn’t begin on October 7th: Israeli veterans of the 1948 creation of Israel admit in their own words that the state was created by ethnic cleansing, raping, and murdering Palestinians. As they recount raping Palestinian girls, they smile and laugh.

I do love a Keating spray “The anti-China Australian strategic policy establishment was feeling some slippage in its mindless pro-American stance and decided some new China rattling was overdue.” Keating launches spray at ASIO boss and Wong theage.com.au/politics/feder…

What a great fall for @SenatorWong who last yr said "Our focus (will) ensure our fate is not determined by others...our decisions are our own" And here we are less than 1 yr later as she admits to taking orders from the US to cut aid to #Gaza without citing any evidence

And right on cue, Labor is now threatening to 'review' @SenatorPayman's visa status. #Labor keeps showing us who they are.

Let's be clear, #Labor will hound @SenatorPayman for the rest of her Parliamentary days.

Children being decapitated and blown to shreds and burnt alive… Parents collecting their childrens’ remains in bags and buckets… Women being raped by soldiers, prisoners being tortured… People starving, dying of dehydration… Amputations happening without anaesthetic… Women using tent scraps for sanitary pads… Children’s soccer games being bombed… Hospitals, schools, refugee camps being bombed… People losing their jobs for wearing Palestine pins to show solidarity… And Meta bans criticism of those responsible? What a sick joke of a world we live in.

Has gov betrayed us? The entire Canberra class is implementing a global Zionist agenda at the behest of a foreign power against the national interest? They want to arrest people for speaking out against a genocide? Has the Aus political class lost their mandate to govern us?

Stacey Abrams: "Joe Biden has the integrity, moral character and record needed to beat Donald Trump in November." Is this the moral character she's referring to?

I have to disagree. People ‘singled out’ South Africa’ and campaigned against its apartheid, successfully helping to dismantle that system. On this type of logic, the anti-apartheid movement would be considered racist- against white South Africans!

@alon_mizrahi If you've moved house even once, you've probably complained about it 50 times. Can you imagine how exhauated are the Palestinians who've had to uproot their existence 50 times in the last 9 months? Yet they persevere and have faith in God. They are beautiful. #NoMoreZionism

AN ARTIST COULD NOT DO THIS IN AUSTRALIA, IT WOULD BE CALLED ANTISEMITISM.

I think the ALP rusted ones commenting on this tweet should have a look at the vile racism also being commented by far right posters, and ask themselves why they have these strange bedfellows.

Whether or not Senator Payman did the right thing by leaving the ALP, surely we can all agree that weaponising Section 44 against a refugee as political payback is utterly disgusting. Right?

Of course the Payman thing wasn't even a religious difference, but a policy one. But that doesn't matter when the spin machine gets going. I think the ALP will find that using Islamophobia as a political tool wont work for them as well as its worked for the Liberals in the past.

Oh and on the stacked US Supreme Court putting a President above the law …a chilling example of how incipient fascism gradually takes hold.

The goal of the Democrats and Republicans, full partners in the funding of the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel, is not to halt the genocide but hide it. The amendment to the Department of State appropriations bill (1) proposed by bipartisan legislators in the House, part of this effort to shroud the genocide in darkness, includes a provision (2) that “prohibits funds appropriated by this act to be made available for the State Department to cite statistics obtained from the Gaza Health Ministry.” The mass killing in Gaza, now in its ninth month, will continue for many more months according to Israeli generals -- some Israeli military officials have been quoted in the Israeli press saying the entire assault on Gaza will take two years. The Gaza Health Ministry has so far recorded some 38,000 deaths and 85,000 injuries. This is a vast undercount. The Health Ministry only counts the names of deceased recorded by hospitals and morgues. Given that Israel has bombed most hospitals, clinics and morgues into disuse and blocked medical supplies and fuel, given that there are tens of thousands of missing, most likely buried under the rubble, it is certain that the number of dead is in the tens of thousands, perhaps as high as 200,000. The Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh, Devi Sridhar, estimates half a million Palestinians in Gaza will die in 2024. (It’s not just bullets and bombs. I have never seen health organisations as worried as they are about disease in Gaza | Devi Sridhar (3)). This is a far more realistic body count. As Israel continues its saturation bombing and shelling of Gaza, as Palestinians continue to succumb to the Israeli orchestrated famine as well as the spread of infectious diseases caused by a lack of clean water, food, sanitation and health facilities, the numbers of dead will skyrocket. Hamas fighters, able to take refuge in the vast tunnel system in Gaza, have little interest in publicizing the huge numbers of civilians left above ground to die. The Israeli government is not anxious to make public the actual scale of the killing. But even the official undercount is too onerous for the mandarins in the two ruling parties. And so we blot out all numbers, as if the most heinous genocide in modern history, one that by the time it is over will take hundreds of thousands of lives, is not happening.
