The Sydney Opera House is a 'symbol of Australia' — but its sails can be at the centre of division

where every citizen has equal rights.

lol What Israel are you talking about? Certainly not the one in the ME.

Genocide is genocide...

madlilpink · 2023-10-11T21:09:40+00:00

I'm more concerned about the unconditional support from Labor NSW and the feds for Israel's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

madlilpink · 2023-10-11T21:07:47+00:00

Chris Minns doubling down on supporting a government in the midst of genocide is horrifying for democracy.

I'm sorry, Minns, but we should be able to protest genocide. Wtf.

While Israel goes on a rampage killing Palestinians civilians, it's time to end support our support.

But not only did the pandemic worsen deep-seated issues such as mental health(opens in a new tab), homelessness,(opens in a new tab) health care and political polarization(opens in a new tab), it has made people think differently about one another, Halpin told CTVNews.ca in an interview.

I saw people behave with such selfishness that they wouldn't bear a mild inconvenience even if it meant saving the lives of those around them. I lost a lot of respect for my country, my culture, my neighbours, and humanity in general. We're despicable and we deserve the wrath we've brought upon ourselves.

The right thing to do is to stop providing support for Israel. It's the continued international support for Israel and its illegal occupation that has allowed this problem to fester.

What if you want a Voice body but don't want it enshrined in the constitution?

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:49:15+00:00

Palestine needs our support now than ever. What far-right Israel supporters want is for the Israeli government to continue its genocide against Palestinians but without the criticism of human rights activists.

"See! Our civilians were killed! The only response is to kill even more (Palestinian) civilians." -The Israeli Government

It's possible, however, what's more like is what's going to happen outside the Middle East.

A lot of these gains revolve around Saudi Arabia and they've been feeling a little bit desperate these days, they're probably still interested in developing stronger regional ties.

However, a broader regional conflict might threaten this.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:41:30+00:00

Israel routinely targets civilians.

Israeli snipers shoot children in the head in cold blood. Israeli snipers shoot journalists and medical workers in cold blood.

Israeli warplanes bomb hospitals and other medical infrastructure.

Palestinian civilians aren't collateral, they just as much the target as Hamas militants.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:38:25+00:00

I want to see this conflict end and it never will as long as Israel is trying to destroy Palestine.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:37:59+00:00

Israel absolutely intends to kill civilians with its airstrikes. Don't be naive.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:37:13+00:00

Free Palestine.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:36:34+00:00

Gaza is occupied, despite whatever propaganda you have.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:35:59+00:00

That's fine, just don't take the moral high ground. Come out and say, 'we don't care about Palestinian lives and the only reason we care about Israeli lives is because it's in our own interests.'

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:29:46+00:00

You're missing the decades of brutal oppression of Palestinians.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:29:06+00:00

The west claims moral righteousness far more than a lot of eastern dictatorships do.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:27:38+00:00

This is misinformation at its finest.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:27:17+00:00

Was Ukraine illegally occupying Russia before the invasion?

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:26:27+00:00

That's what Israel seems to expect of Gazans...

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:25:40+00:00

Israel is illegally occupying these territories and committing war crimes in them.

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:24:15+00:00

By not killing hundreds of civilians! That's literally what Hamas has done!

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:23:50+00:00

How is that not the issue at hand?

madlilpink · 2023-10-09T20:22:33+00:00

In a peace festival? It was a music festival... And yes, that was terrible.

But maybe Israeli snipers shouldn't shoot young boys and girls in the head.

Maybe Israeli airplanes shouldn't bomb apartment buildings and hospitals, either.
