What did Arabs ever bring to science? Well Maths, for a start. Astronomy, that's quite useful for rockets and stuff. Some would say Chemistry and Medicine were quite a game changer, but he'll probably say that causes autism. Oh and Optics - I quite like the glasses I'm wearing right now.

RFK uses algebra (an Arabic word) and Arabic numerals to make a racist slur about Arabs. Make it make sense.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Politicians speaking to each other w/ respect would clearly be a good thing. But the source of society's anger is really material. People's lives are getting harder + Aus does not have a believable plan to change that. Want to dial down the temp? Get corp money out of politics + build public housing

"Activists". Not terrorists, or murderers, or thieves. Activists.

I was about to say the same thing. Why can the SMH not bring themselves to call these people terrorists and thieves when there is an active Israeli government-backed terror and land-theft campaign against the Palestinians who already live there? Why engage in these join-the-dots exercises?

A complete absence of a critical lens in the interrogation of the issue and the framing of these groups as “settlers” and “activists” as opposed to “colonisers” and “terrorists” tells a story in itself

This bloke doesn’t have the vaguest idea about ‘satire’ Worse still, he’s actually a candidate in the upcoming Victorian election! Victoria already has enough problem(s). This one is truly lacking a moral compass…& may well be very popular, & feel much more comfortable, in 🇺🇸
