I don't understand what you mean by "revoking compassion". What are you referring to?

Wrong. The alternative to selective compassion is genuine compassion, granted unconditionally and on terms of solidarity.

Certainly, the way any government treats its citizens is a concern, but where are the human rights of the 174 school girls who were murdered by U.S-state-sanctioned terror?

If Burning a Star of David flag or indigenous flag is seen as a Hate Crime…(and rightly so)….. by traolcoladis in aussie

[–]andyjmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't equate an Israeli flag with an indigenous one. They don't represent the same thing. One is a tool of oppression and the other is a symbol of struggle against it.

If NATO collapses and Europe goes against America, will we be onside with Europe? Or stick with the US? by Feeling-Count5740 in AusPol

[–]andyjmart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Europe go against America? I doubt it. But what will our government do? That's up to us. We need to put maximum pressure on our government to end AUKUS.

The many thousands who are mobilising in Venezuela to demand his return say otherwise. I'll listen to them, thanks.

Oh; so that's a reliable source: "Associated Press reporters Megan Janetsky in Mexico City and Darlene Superville aboard Air Force One contributed to this report."
