Then stop it. Make peace. Allow Palestinians to live free with dignity. Make reparations. Get along with your neighbours instead of stealing their lands, killing them, starving them and committing genocide.

The fossil fuel lobby criminals would have us burn the planet to maintain their profits.
This Australian Financial Review piece kind of admits the horrendous damage involved, but then says it's 'pragmatic' to press ahead with a giant coal mine expansion because governments haven't been neoliberal enough in the past, what can you do?

The slaughtered journalists is one of the horrors of the genocide. I expect there are millions of people who will never get their faces out of our heads.

They live on to serve as a reminder of just how brave people can be in terrifying circumstances. God bless them all.

We have referred The Spectator to IPSONews over a racist, discriminatory article that brands Palestinians “probably the worst migrant population on Earth”.

The claims made in the article by David Shipley have no evidential basis whatsoever.

I have nothing good to say about the evil Israeli regime and its genocide. More attacks and more innocents killed.

The crossbench introduced an omnibus bill last week to stop Australia enabling genocide.

Most of the mainstream media ignored it, and Labor/Coalition voted to block a Senate inquiry – an unusual move.

So we're sharing the key details. 👇️
