Here for every single distraught Jewish protester 💔. I can't imagine having to defend your faith and history against ppl who falsely claim both in order to slaughter and dispossess millions of people from another faith and culture (and yes, Jewish Palestinians exist).
Wondering what it’s like to be a Jew in Melbourne these days? At my tram stop last week in my Jewish neighbourhood; a call to destroy the world’s only Jewish state.
No one should celebrate October 7 as many Australians mourn loved ones killed then and since.
The largest loss of Jewish life since World War II. And an intolerable number of civilian deaths in Gaza, the West bank and now Lebanon.
Despite what Peter Dutton and the Greens
Personally, I would love my taxes to pay for lunches for other people's children. To care for children and nourish them is ALWAYS an honour, never a burden.
It's not free. It's paid for by taxpayers.
And why should people pay for the "free" lunch of other people's children?
Feeding your kids is the responsibility of parents.
And if there are cases of social disadvantage where some kids aren't getting fed then we have a welfare
In 1879 Australians named a 500+km mountain range to honour this genocidal psychopath. It took 140 years and international solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement for 'The King Leopold Ranges' to have the Indigenous names reinstated - Wunaamin Miliwundi.
King Leopold regime was in the Congo for twice as long as the holocaust lasted. He had Congolese people inn forced labour camps processing rubber. He murdered 15 million people. And many were mutilated. All the while Europe laughed it off. Don’t undermine other atrocities.
This is not South Africa in the 80s or USA in the 50s. This is Australia now.

Our politicians are weak.

If we want to talk about how a white Australian woman academic has inserted herself into a Black American dance genre intellectually and physically and how the system will now safeguard her privileges and protect her from critiques, we can.
I just found this academic article by Australian Olympic breakdancer Raygun that might contextualise her performance in Paris within her research practice, as a postcolonial critique of sportification

A reminder that almost 100% of the youth in the Northern Territory's detention centres are Aboriginal. Non Aboriginal youth are given options including the benefit of being believed. Aboriginal youth, as a race and as individuals, are not.

He was an enemy of the Israeli people and an enemy of peace-loving people everywhere. His death is a significant moment and can be a vital turning point in this devastating

Love watching Aussies get offended when Blackfullas remind them of their history on this continent and their links/similarities to atrocities being committed elsewhere. They want to believe 'the Great South Land' ascended from the ocean floor when they got out of their boats.
I never saw even one Australian politician telling the police to charge Nazi and white supremacist protesters. Not one. Just sayin'.

Dr Gunn knows EXACTLY what she's doing. She not only deserves to be critiqued, she must be. She is considered an academic "expert" and she knows full well the Olympics positions her as an expert "participant" as well. Problematic AF but she knows exactly what she's doing.
idk if I’m being a party pooper here but like I really hope Raygun is okay. Imagine making it to the pinnacle of success (the literal Olympics) in a sport you’ve loved for this long and the whole world laughing at you. My heart breaks for her actually
I'm reminded of James Baldwin's words "The victim who is able to articulate the situation of the victim has ceased to be a victim: he or she has become a threat."
Israel killed yet another Palestinian journalist - now 36. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists “The Israel-Gaza war has become the deadliest period for journalists covering conflict since CPJ began documenting journalist fatalities in 1992.”

NSW Police seem intent on forcing a grieving community to seek alternative means of expressing our distress and rage... And then they'll label *us* the instigators. We've walked this road before.
BREAKING
The Albanese Government today teamed up with Peter Dutton’s Coalition to push through a toxic AUKUS Bill that will allow the dumping of high-level naval nuclear waste anywhere in Australia.
On this day my love and solidarity is with Palestinians all over the world. Your resistance is bringing down empires. 12 months and 75 years since genocide, racism, Islamophobia, apartheid was visited upon you by evil settler colonisers. Your deaths since invasion are mourned 🙏🏾
Indigenous solidarity with Palestine is political AF and we need more of it .. up front...in their faces. Remind colonial governments everywhere whose lands they're on when they say things like "genocide is self defence". Indigenous people are the mirror for settler states 🇵🇸
Fatima Payman has triggered an eruption of racism from deep within the Australian political-media class, for whom "social cohesion" means silence and assimilation.
Blocked by Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert for calling out her dangerous tweet. Sis, go ahead and play with the liberties of Lebanese people and their rights to grieve and protest and you're gonna need a bigger block button. Remember where the fuck you are. This land is Aboriginal.
We know this isn't normal, right? I've never seen children hold a press conference. These babies should be playing and learning not inviting the world to save their lives.
Palestinian children in Gaza hold a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”
Rolling up to my local NAIDOC Corporate Breakfast this morning Blak to the bone, loud AF and proud to be anti racist, anti colonialism and anti genocide.
SO MANY COLUMN INCHES DEVOTED TO RAYGUN BUT TEN ARTICLES I COULD FIND ON THE PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY INTO "MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN AND GIRLS
Blackfullas won't be taking orders from Zionists. We stand with Muslims, Jews and Christians against Zionists and their ethnic cleansing and apartheid. And where we stand is in our Black Power on our own Black Lands. I'm done being polite too. Let's go.
I’m done being polite. And so is the rest of world Jewry. We don’t mince our words when describing Nazis and their collaborators; we shouldn’t mince our words about Hamas apologists and supporters either
Terrifying scenes in Melbourne this week.
While I respect the right to protest peacefully, the behaviour exhibited by these protesters was unacceptable.
We need to turn down the heat and work towards maintaining social cohesion.
🇱🇧 Israel just killed this newly married couple in south Lebanon. They bombed their house in the middle of the night. The husband arrived from Australia days ago to take his wife back with him so she can be safe. They were both murdered. RIP Ibrahim Bazzi and Shuruk Hamoud 🕯️
I dont care if AOC says there were Democrats that did not attend his address. They are weak and totally compromised. They should have sat with this good sis, held her hand, waved signs and wore Palestinian flag pins on their clothes. She should not have been left alone.

I wouldn't piss off the students protesting for the liberation of Palestine. Their circle of peer influence is at a scale Gen X and older can't even fathom. Plus, a lot of them will be voting at the next federal election. They will come for all of these politicians.
@amymcquire
These are extremely violent and abusive prisoners. Please explain to us how you would keep staff safe from unacceptable risk in this environment.
We have got to keep sharing these videos as painful as it is to watch we cannot ignore Palestinians. The world should be sending in professional rescue and retrieval teams but Palestinians are left to do all this on their own because nobody fucking cares!!
In this thread, Hugh has described Aboriginal men as "wild-eyed" and "recidivist thugs" and white men as "fearless" and even one who r*ped, tortured and killed dogs as simply an "offender". This thread is about defending white men despite what it appears to be about.
… but someone does. They chose to feature an Aboriginal man’s photo over a story about “depravity” so “aberrant” that the psychological shock could harm seasoned court officials. When that offender was a white man, Adam Britton. And yes, you can find that detail 14 paragraphs in
So a No result is a mandate for the ALP to not listen to Indigenous people? That's a lot of money spent and even more racial violence perpetrated on Blackfullas to do less than what you were doing to begin with.
Anthony Albanese says he will walk away from the Voice to Parliament altogether if the No vote wins on Saturday
He also says the government won’t legislate it

Chadstone, Melbourne, Australia - pro-Palestinian protestors many with their faces covered & heads wrapped in keffiyehs take to Chadstone shopping centre. Security on hand
Pemulwuy resisted illegal occupation and he was shot, decapitated and his head sent to England in a jar I think as a gift for Joseph Banks.
There were thousands of resistance fighters who killed and attempted to kill illegal occupiers here.
Langton knows this but money talks $
white Ozzies thinking their little referendum was part of a shared white awakening, have no idea that sovereign Indigenous people have set the world on fire right now and the white world cannot extinguish that kind of fury. You're gonna wish you settled for a Voice
If this man was white, governments all over the world would be fighting each other to retrieve his babies. But he's not white so they send more bombs instead.
Ok just hold on one second Aussies.. as an Aboriginal woman from a coastal region on the east of Australia I need to remind you all that this is EXACTLY why so many massacres resulted in the slaughter and displacement of our Nations..so you could all 'see the sea'.

updated the Parliament on the work we’re doing to end family and domestic violence.
This is a priority for my Government and it will change lives.
This kind of white motherhood is how we end up with spineless gutless useless fucks for leaders who would rather pat a psychopathic genocidal apartheid regime on the back then demand them to stop massacring people.
Australians are distressed by civilian deaths in Israel and Gaza.
It is heartbreaking.
But we can’t let the conflict overseas create conflict here amongst us, and our children. 🧵 1/3
Yidirah Independence Day, Papua New Guinea! 49 years free of imperial Australia.
One day we will congratulate West Papua on their independence from Indonesia.
Private citizens being funded by govts to carry out police work with no rules or transparency and targeting Indigenous people in places where there are significant populations of defence and police personnel? It's apartheid.
I love this piece of really important information about one of our current leaders in Australia's support for Palestine, Nasser Mashni. Such a rich and powerful family history. We are blessed. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾
Shaher Hussein El-Mashni - father of Nasser Mashni, head of Australia Palestine Advocacy Network - refused to accept the UN Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947
Instead he joined the militant guerrilla forces of al-Husseini in 1948 & attacked Israel

I don't know if people can comprehend the terror a parent experiences when their child is arrested and "detained". No parents, no family to comfort or protect them. Just a child facing a racist system alone. Again, the media manufactures consent for state abuse of Black kids.
“first up she will increase penalties for breach of bail and make it harder to get bail” - this is how the ABC reports a policy that is literally to incarcerate more people including more children who are innocent <of whatever the charge is > by definition. Innocent. Under law.
Not me, here, suggesting that Israel's love of South Africa's old apartheid system is actually a love story with Australia since South Africa modeled their apartheid system on Queensland's Aboriginal Protection Act (1897). I won't be taking any questions or comments. Byeeee

This from the person who co-chairs Reconciliation Australia is beyond reprehensible. He has no business being around Indigenous matters. We know these dangerous ideologies have for far too long been associated with Blackfullas and to our detriment. No more!
Today’s joint statement from six former Australian prime ministers provides a beacon of moral clarity.
“Whatever is happening elsewhere in the world, there is no place in our country for racial or religious hatred. And there is no more tenaciously evil

Aust will flaunt its medals in the face of every other country (war torn or not), claiming athletic superiority per capita over everyone else. But when it tries/fails to be competitive in a Black dance category it decides it's the only country that doesn't take itself seriously.
84 Pacific Islander seasonal workers have died in Oz since 2020, 19 deaths are under investigation, the rest are medical/car accidents. This gross reporting blames Pacific Islanders for their own deaths. Also, "absconded worker" is code for runaway slave.
