For years, the political and media class have been promoting the idea that anything more than the lightest-touch criticism of Israel is evidence of antisemitism.

But they have been increasingly struggling to credibly sustain that impression in the face of Israel committing a…

Well worth reading. lot of questions, next to no answers

Shocking: This image encapsulates the story between brutal colonization and the Palestinian people living under occupation. In the picture, humanitarian aid intended for the hungry in Gaza is intercepted by crowds of Israelis with support from Israeli police, thrown to the…

Yes Yes Yes to everything Jess Hill says her: starting with “accountability”

For those claiming we can’t compare the issues with black Australians to what is happening in the US because the issues are “not as bad”.

The rate of imprisonment for black Australian adults is 1,769 per 100,000 or 2.5 times higher than the US rates of black incarceration.

A nice demonstration of two things:

1) De-funding the police is bad, actually, and results in more crime, disproportionately harming the poor.

2) Short-term cost-saving exercises often end up resulting in negative impacts that cost far more to fix than they initially saved.

Breaking: We mourn with you the loss of Shaimaa, the eldest daughter of our dear friend Rafat Al-Araeer Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸, and her husband, engineer Mohammed Abdel Aziz Siyam, along with their newborn baby, after their apartment near Al-Ramal Clinic in Gaza was targeted in an…

🚨Harrowing evidence revealed of Israel's execution of Gazans at the Nasser hospital mass grave 🧵

These 2 bodies were both shot in the head, both hand-tied.

Multiple discovered bodies were zip-tied, some both arms & legs. Some buried in patient gowns, including children.

In a civilised country, a 14yo child with inappropriate media content on his/her phone should attract a stern talking-to & the 'naughty corner'. In Australia, it attracts a circus counter-terrorism operation & your child been thrown in jail. Embarrassing & backward!! #auspol

Exactly a year ago, armed neo nazis protested a drag event in Ohio while chanting 'there will be blood.' The police did nothing.

Today, the police are beating college students at Ohio state for protesting against genocide.

The videos out of US campuses are truly shocking. The only way to understand the police brutality and repression is that vested interests want the protests quashed and gone.

While we couldn't complete a full attribution analysis, multiple lines of evidence point to climate change as the driver of the increase.

If China expelled an Australian journalist, Fairfax would run 10 articles and Hartcher would file his standard high dudgeon rant at Beijing. But Avani Dias got booted out of India by the fascist Modi government this week and it got one piece in the SMH. Double standard much?
