But you are demanding to be special. Jews are one of many minorities in Australia. Minorities through history have been subject to prejudice and worse. It’s wrong and it’s stupid. Our challenge in our multicultural country is do show it doesn’t have to be so - for anyone.
We are not demanding special rights. We're demanding that the fucking world stop waging its war against us. And we don't elevate ourselves. 5 billion people who think that are our successors are what makes Jews special in this world. Half the fucking planet's "holy land" is our indigenous homeland!
Not just you. Human rights apply to everyone or they mean nothing. You would think Jews, victims of the old curse of antisemitism, would appreciate that. Instead they are claiming special rights, thereby increasing likelihood they will be resented more.
Is it just me, or is this whole Israeli, Zionist & to a lesser extent Jewish awareness program, elevating a particular diaspora above everyone else, rather than treating all people as equals. I went to a public primary school integrated with Catholic and Protestant children, we got on just fine.

💥 Israel just wiped out an entire family today in Salsakiyeh, South Lebanon. 13 civilians murdered inside the same house where they had taken refuge from Israeli bombs. Children. Women. Men. All massacred. This is not a “ceasefire.” Systematic slaughter of civilians. @sarahabdallah.bsky.social

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

"Brexit was, in fact, the dumbest unforced strategic error a major nation has committed in my lifetime, and I pitched the Iraq War for the GOP in my misspent youth, so I know a self-inflicted wound when I see one. But Brexit was a policy. What’s coming next is a regime change. "

Invest in the US. Make sure in something Trump approves of, or your money gets stolen. Don't be too successful, or Trump will demand a share or even equity. Don't send skilled workers, ICE might grab them. Don't have a good product, it will be stolen. The legal system is corrupt, so no help there.
The Trump administration has seized $120M USD owned by the Canadian pension fund earmarked for a wind development — and demanding the pension-backed company invest in fossil fuels instead.

After years of embracing reduced parades, this time there's more significance than ever. Putin's paranoia, the refusal of many foreign leaders to attend and threat of a Ukrainian attack change the whole context.

The Trump regime’s war diplomacy looks like something put together by real estate guys, because it is.
"Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships go through the Strait of Hormuz came after Saudi Arabia suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation, according to two U.S. officials."

During a recent focus group of 20 Gen Z Republicans conducted by a conservative think tank, a subset of participants were asked to share their thoughts on Hitler. Only one responded with outright criticism. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/oYuJBh
I so appreciate these posts. Thank you.
in Russia knows it. Someone Putin cannot touch and cannot see. It’s a question of how fast they can act before the economy does it for them. Until he’s gone nothing Russians say can be taken seriously. Ukraine is driving towards victory. Russia it’s inevitable defeat.

Meanwhile the California grid now boasts the equivalent of 12 nuclear power plants worth of batteries -- the total cost of which was, I suspect, less than a single nuclear plant.

This one was going to attract press attention because of where it took place...but yes; Trump is highly unusual in playing it up. I could be totally wrong but once he was back to work I don't think Reagan ever mentioned being shot again. Certainly didn't dwell on it.
📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

This is what happened at the Whittier public library. They had to cancel a LEGO event for kids and a “history of signs” program for seniors due to ICE raids. And let’s not forget that when librarians would not let ICE in the agents peed all over the property in broad daylight.

All accounting software should ask itself before it sends out debt notices ‘will it cost more to recover this debt than to process it’. AI should make that easy.
I once had the opposite problem. I was working for the Aboriginal Legal Service and as part of a case I was involved in I received a payout of $1.27. I laughed and threw it in a drawer, never deposited it in my bank. After 6 months of plea’s from the accountant, followed by a further 6 months of

Well, waddayaknow. Chinese ship transits. Seems the US Defence Force knows better than to shoot up or board a Chinese vessel.
The ceasefire isn't a ceasefire. The blockade isn't a blockade. What he said wasn't a war is actually a war. This whole situation has to be the most brutally stupid foreign policy blunder America has made in my lifetime. And it's the sort of thing that should cost everyone involved their jobs.
