If it looks like genocide, sounds like genocide and smells like genocide, then it's probably genocide.
“Can I name someone whose work I respect who doesn’t consider it genocide?” said Raz Segal, an Israeli genocide researcher at Stockton University in New Jersey. “No.”

Such behaviour is neither new nor peculiar to Australia. Any deviation from Zionist orthodoxy is viciously attacked.

For me, the questions remain:
* How did young Bruce Lehrmann, with no qualifications and no relevant experience, end up as senior advisor to a government minister?
* Who is/was protecting him and why?

A list of those whom Israel has NOT accused of antisemitism would be shorter @dbattistella

To paraphrase Dr Myer:
If a Zionist accuses you of antisemitism, then you're in good company. The Zionist, on the other hand, is in the company of Nazis.

"When we view the slaughter of innocents in Gaza and elsewhere it’s clear that the lessons of the past have not been learnt. ... If ever we needed reminding of how the Israeli leadership views Palestinians, consider this remark by Benjamin Netanyahu in response to Australia’s backing of a call for Palestinian statehood: “It’s a shame that the current Australian government wants to award these savages with a state.”"
Yet Zionists have been rewarded with the state of Israel.

Don't mention the war crimes. That would be antisemitic.

A database of atrocities, compiled by a former IDF soldier, reported in Israeli media.

@IndyMediaAus
Clearly, Israel has no rightful place in the UN. The Security Council will no doubt veto any move to expel it, but we have the precedent of South Africa.

The General Assembly refused to accept the credentials of the South African delegation. The delegation could not participate, effectively excluding South Africa from the Assembly. It was still a member, but couldn't do anything.

@jbburd
Sometimes, an adult needs to choose from a set of bad options. Democracy sucks that way.

Having the right to vote makes one responsible for the outcome of the election. If we fail to vote, then we're still responsible. We've merely surrendered our opportunity to influence that outcome.

In this election, your options are bad and worse (concerning 🇮🇱 and genocide). The choice is yours.

Yet @jbburd you imply that you prefer Trump.

Who would most likely fill the void left by the absence of Harris @jbburd ? The probable candidates are even less impressive.

Imprisoning her might be superficially satisfying, but could well lead to the rise of someone worse. There are always repercussions.

Roots of Palestinian genocide can be traced back to the 19th century Zionist invasion @jbburd . The culpable are many.

The motives for your targeting are questionable. Is it because Harris is not:
- white?
- male?
- Trump?

Removing Harris would lead to worse outcomes for Palestinians and Americans. Is a "justice" that leads to greater injustices truly justice?

While the Zionist state exists, there's no hope of lasting peace. True seekers of justice work toward dismantling Israel.

Would it be justice if only Harris was prosecuted @jbburd ? Would it be justice if removing Harris opened the way for someone worse (and the US has no end of execrable characters)?

You seem to be targeting one individual for your own motives. You sound MAGA.

In the 19th century, Zionists started a war @smlx4
To this day, they snivel about the resistance.

Zionist bloodlust is manifest in the murder of a Palestinian child. Remember Hind Rajab.

It's nothing new @Tooden
In conversation, this case was mentioned. It's from almost 20 years ago. The only surprise is that it was reported.
"This is commander. Anything that's mobile, that moves in the zone, even if it's a three-year-old, needs to be killed. Over."
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/nov/16/israel2
Since then, 🇮🇱 Zionism has evidently degenerated even further.
