Yes, the US and all governments should cease funding and trading arms with Israel. The other issue is diplomatic cover. If all western nations who pretend to uphold international law actually did so, support for the apartheid, genocidal, ethnic cleansing rogue state would crumble overnight.

As ex-CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour has said: good journalism is "truthful, not neutral". Too many Australian mainstream reporters pursue a stupid and dangerous version of neutrality, which results in giving equal time to fascist liars.

Peter Murphy@peterwmurphy1.bsky.social

Dear Australian mainstream news media Repeating is NOT reporting. "Pauline Hanson said ..." is NOT journalism. Allowing One Nation to make verifiably false or misleading assertions is irresponsible. Don't blindly repeat lies. Call them out: "Today, ON falsely claimed ..." #auspol #JournalismMatters

Peggy Sanders reposted

The Australian political & media class may read this and smugly think: 'We're not as bad the US'. But all the signs are that, without real change, we are heading in a similar direction. And as grievances build, we will need far more than "civility" to maintain a fraying social contract. #auspol

CASA has a long history of negligence. The Lockhart River tragedy is testament to that.

Peggy Sanders reposted

Questions from Sen Shoebridge in #Estimates last night revealed that CASA has been caught napping on Nauru Airlines. Haven't been doing their due diligence on major staffing changes, on safety or the high incidence of flight turnbacks, or on its troubled finances. CASA needs to lift its game fast.

House Judiciary Democrats released a 50+ page report detailing how 25 different women—some connected to Epstein—have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct. Doesn't even make the NYTimes homepage... democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

As usual, legacy media are far more fixated on the political odds of the Israeli election, than the life and death stakes for Palestinians.

Peggy Sanders reposted

"The report found Israeli authorities and forces had continued to 'commit genocidal acts' even after the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, 'with the intent to destroy the Palestinian people'." No surprise that this got hardly any mainstream coverage. #GazaGenocide www.nine.com.au/world-news/m...

You ever think about how the first episode of NCIS Sydney was about people protesting AUKUS?

Doug Cameron:”In my view it is now clear that AUKUS is about militarising Australia in interests of the US, ensuring the grifters in defence and the arms industry are well fed. It is an act of self-harm and madness on the part of the Australian government.” pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

The miners also supported the Voice, which would have funnelled Indigenous consultation on mining into a toothless body with no veto power that governments could ignore. Don’t forget too the ON will enable open slather on gun ownership. All the guns and ammunition.

"Carpet bomb them all". Speaking to The Guardian at an event ahead of Israel’s elections, a young Israeli woman called for Palestinians to be forcibly displaced from the Gaza Strip, saying they should be killed if they cannot be removed.
