a society that punishes or silences people for using their voice to oppose mass killing not just some abstract injustice, but real, ongoing atrocities affecting real human lives then “freedom” was always just a story we told ourselves. The measure of freedom isn’t how loudly we can cheer when we echo the powerful, it’s how unashamedly we can stand up when we disagree with them, especially when the stakes are life and death. That discomfort you feel when confronting what your government does politically, morally, silently, or in your name isn’t confusion, it’s your conscience. And if silence is easier than speaking truth to power, then we already lost the freedom we thought we had
Why are people surprised now? Were they hibernating for the past 50+ years? Frank Zappa knew. As did Malcolm X and few others. The "west" was always a genocidal, thieving, racist, zionist, and fascist ideology. People in the west just lived in an illusion of "freedom and democracy". Something like matrix. It was all a BIG lie and illusion from the most evil, destructive, supremacist, anti-human system that ever existed - "western civilization" aka "empire of lies".
"The "west" was always a genocidal, thieving, racist, zionist, and fascist ideology."
Well said Nick, and I would add a few hundred years to your 50+ and then take it back further to anywhere among the human societies where Empire building was the driving force.
It's the nature of Empire for the most part.
Western societies got really good at Empire building by creating the "illusion of "freedom and democracy" and then maintained this illusion with divide and conquer strategies. Thus the plebs would fight amongst themselves and never see that the same boot was on their necks.
Nana I fully agree. 500+ years for sure and their supposed "discovery" of American continents. I only was referring to humans living today and the modern sophisticated methods of lying.
Many are surprised now, because they believed the lies told to them since earliest childhood. Apparently, it's difficult for some to break free of that massive, intensive, and non-stop propaganda effort, because if it weren't, then the ruling class wouldn't have been spending billions doing it all these years.
There has to eventually be a limit to how many people they can arrest, surely. I mean, the jails are already rather full . Maybe they'll just start gunning protestors down instead? Like Tiannamen square?

manipulation of this important distinction is what has Humanity aimlessly flailing about in a ( valid ) state of distress wondering how the fuck to deal with this problem...
Its a whopper, legal enforcement and eventually excecution for the "crime" of speaking out about the attempted theft of the "domain", "realm" that We inhabit..
There is ABSOLUTELY no parallel between the 1989 Tiananmen square protests and Gaza anti-genocide protests. The western press called Tiananmen square protests "massacres" yet murdering of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians (20,000 children alone) is israel's "self-defense". The empire of lies has no and never had any credibility or integrity and all what is left is LIES and only LIES of the rotting empire.
I don’t know where y’all reside. BUT any AmeriKKKan who isn’t presently a firearms owner needs to get there right quick before they become unavailable to the public.
“ I own guns to protect myself from the GOVERNMENT.”
Can you explain to me how this works? I’m being serious, I’ve heard this line from gun owners since forever and it has never made sense to me. If the idea is “they’ll never take me alive and at least I’ll take out a few of the government’s minions before they get me” then ok, that’s a strategy where you accept the reality that you’ll never be able to outgun the government and you’ll do a little damage (to no one of consequence, oh well) before they take you out.
But if you actually believe that because you have a cache of weapons in your house the government will be too scared to come after you or will try and you’ll make them back off and go away… that’s delusional fantasy.
I’m sure the Branch Davidians had way more weapons than you do and the government came after them with a Bradley armored tank, tear gas and an army. Burned down their compound, killed women and children and anyone else they felt like killing. Their weapons cache didn’t mean shit.
So again, what am I missing in the mentality? Unless you’re aligned with 1000s of others like you who will coalesce together in an instant to oppose a government incursion you’re easy pickings.
And no I’m not interested in taking your guns away, don’t care. I just don’t see this as a reality based strategy, more like a Rambo based self delusion. Which you’re entitled to. But if there’s a part of this equation that I’m missing educate me, I’m all ears.
Exactly. There is no way you can counter an imperial power that turns its oppression inward on its own people. A general strike would be more effective. Sit down, don't move. Alternatively, I have some aluminum tubes, you could start enriching uranium...
AnalogMan and Kathleen McCroskey, I am impressed by your reasoning and insight. An individual owning a gun against The Military Industrial Complex is not the answer. See what that has wrought in the USA .... daily gun violence.
Unless... it is a socialist government handing out guns to the citizenry against an invasion by a foreign power - as happened in Cuba and now in Venezuela.
a two tier system that distinguishes between "jew" and "others" and via playing the victim (as they have for over a thousand years) and Lying, compulsively, continually (as they always have) they hope to "gently" push this little idea forward...
Governments arresting Australians in support of israel? Doesn't that mean they are committing treason when their support of another country's lobbying takes away the freedoms of its citizens/taxpayers? Same for UK.
Both are supporting the few (the extremely wealthy few?) against the freedom of the many and, these few are not even citizens of the countries supporting them. Are our so-called democratic governments turning zionist israeli and treating their citizens as it treat Palestinians?
Chris, how much community/affordable housing could they have build for that. And people would then put money into the economy instead of being locked up for no reason..it's simply madness
Actually, no. This is alternative Chinese propaganda attempting to control the narrative about Tiananmen square. While the West often exaggerates such events (in magnitude, impact, etc.) and human rights violatations of its enemies, there is an INCREDIBLE amount of EVIDENCE and FACTS on such events (including eyewitness testimonies) that lays bare the truth.
Just as the West engages in revisionist history, so too do other nations (China, India, Russia, etc.). If you study historiography (which is the study of history), you will find that 'those currently in power' frequently engage in revisionist history strategies to maintain the narratives that are beneficial to their regimes. This holds true across the board (i.e. regardless of which nation we are talking about).
Within China, discussion, images, and commemorations of the 1989 crackdown are tightly controlled and censored; digital searches, social media, and public memorials are blocked or removed.
Sources of evidence: Eyewitness testimony (journalists, foreign diplomats, protesters, medical staff), photography and video (some smuggled out), hospital and burial records, academic research, and declassified diplomatic cables. These sources vary and have gaps, which is why exact casualty counts and some details remain contested.
Awesome compilation. If you're talking to western liberals about the Tiananmen Square myth, also provide this from the Columbia Journalism Review. It holds sway with shitlibs who still buy the Empire's evil lies.
I know very little about the reasons for the protests, nor do I take a side. I don't know enough about modern-day China to have an opinion on its rights or wrongs, nor is it my business, unless it threatens world peace/climate/ecological collapse (which most 'developed' nations do). I do know that students were killed there, though. That's what I was referring to.
"...students were killed there..." is so vague and devoid of context as to be meaningless. The Chinese state did not systematically (or even in coordinated fashion) just line up and shoot innocent "students." The "students" carried out the vast majority of the violence. Even the famous photo of the "student" bravely standing in front of an approaching tank is hokum. The tanks were LEAVING the square after the "student" riots, not heading there to fire on innocent people. You really should peruse the collection of links you've been provided when you have time. You'll find that breaking down the Empire's lies and propaganda, even on long-ago events, the "truths" you've embraced or been force-fed over the decades are almost always lies and distortions.
CBS NEWS: “We saw no bodies, injured people, ambulances or medical personnel — in short, nothing to even suggest, let alone prove, that a “massacre” had occurred in [Tiananmen Square]” — thus wrote CBS News reporter Richard Roth.
BBC NEWS: “I was one of the foreign journalists who witnessed the events that night. There was no massacre on Tiananmen Square” — BBC reporter, James Miles, wrote in 2009.
NY TIMES: In June 13, 1989, NY Times reporter Nicholas Kristof – who was in Beijing at that time – wrote, “State television has even shown film of students marching peacefully away from the [Tiananmen] square shortly after dawn as proof that they [protesters] were not slaughtered.” In that article, he also debunked an unidentified student protester who had claimed in a sensational article that Chinese soldiers with machine guns simply mowed down peaceful protesters in Tiananmen Square.
REUTERS: Graham Earnshaw was in the Tiananmen Square on the night of June 3. He didn’t leave the square until the morning of June 4th. He wrote in his memoir that the military came, negotiated with the students and made everyone (including himself) leave peacefully; and that nobody died in the square.
A) They DIDN'T drive over that or any other person.
AND -
Either B) that person was a "student" who knew they were leaving and decided to stage a photo-op, which was gleefully eaten up by western anti-China anticommunist media to the point it became iconic, just like the photo of the little girl after the My Lai massacre (another iconic photo which has its own less than savory twists - the credited photog who went on to fame and fortune wasn't really the person who took that shot).
Or C) It was the Chinese Communist Party who staged the photo (see the "Tank Man" Wikipedia section on that theory).
Either way nobody got run over by any tanks during those protests.
It was the US-backed "students" who started the riots and the killings. These "students" torched entire buses of Chinese government police armed only with nightsticks. You've been lied to again and didn't even notice.
If you want to talk about gunning down protestors that actually did happen, try Kent State or the Maidan Coup in Ukraine.
Fucking ridiculous. It's like the "Holodomor" or the Taiwan "student" protests or - as you noted - so many other color revolutions. They've tried it numerous times in Venezuela, and succeeded in other LA countries as well as Europe. Anything NED says I automatically assume the opposite to be true. Almost akin to "never believe anything is true until there's an official denial" or the old quote from William Casey about the CIA's mission.
Unfortunately, there is no limit. The prisons are for-profit companies that also supply the bounty hunters. There is record overcrowding and deaths in custody.
With $14 BILLION per year for detention services allocated for next three years, it may be one of the fastest growing 'care' industries in the U.S.
There have already been over 30 deaths in custody for 2025 alone.
How America defines Freedom today, is similar to how Israel's definition and interpretation and meaning of what is a' Ceasefire and what is a 'Genocide' Actually Israel does not seem to have a clue or the meaning of either ,a Ceasefire, or Genocide ,and Americas leaders like TRUMP is losing their own meaning and understanding of Freedom and Democracy .
Both believes the Meaning is' the freedom to Drop Bombs on anyone and everyone you brand and deem as your enemy and Crush them with your overwhelming Military might, or imprison them
I'm gonna say it again: this isn't just about Gaza/Palestine/Israel. The "Western" power structure would not be so ferociously opposed if "globalize the intifada" actually meant "kill the Jews." The real threat is the EXPOSURE of the ugly reality behind the mask of The Free World, Liberal Democracy, yadda yadda, which the Gaza situation has been so radiantly providing--when the NATO alliance are all insisting that arming a genocide is the right thing to do and their citizens can SEE the horrific reality every fracking day...it's hard to stay asleep. And once more and more people wake up, they're likely to question much more than that one thing, horrible as it is. Like, why is my government doing nothing real about climate change? Why the FRACK are we pouring money into NEW nuclear weapons? Why do the media, including so many supposedly opposing ones, speak in lockstep on so many issues, even using the same words? Why are the major parties and the nedia pushing the rapid expansion of data centers for AI, despite AI, despite all the harms caused by both AI and data centers? Why, once I look into independent media, do I see so many stories about miscarriages of justice, about pollution causing disasters which taxpayers are expected to pick up the tab for? Why are rich countries all turning toward blocking entry by immigrants? Could it be that the division of the people of my country into two opposing camps, so convenient for the rich and powerful, is no accident? A world in which the world steps in to rescue the Palestinians is a world in which we step in to rescue ecosystems, endangered species, future generations, the poor. Can you imagine people all over the world uniting to overthrow the power structure and put humanity's resources toward solving problems, healing ecosystems, ensuring that everyone has enough (which means no longer can some have too much) and we terminate war? Perhaps the ruling class can, and it's the stuff of their nightmares. Globalize the intifada!
You think and write up to your name. I totally agree. The Westerners betrayed themselves through Gaza. There is no democracy at all and we certainly are not free. Warmongerers for money and power to enable it, that's all what matters. There is no humanity.
Thank you, Mary Wildfire. "A world in which the world steps in to rescue the Palestinians is a world in which we step in to rescue ecosystems, endangered species, future generations, the poor".
May I add, a world which pays reparations for past colonial disasters, let countries ravaged by colonial greed pick up the pieces and not subject them to "a fate worse than debt... ".
We are facing a bottleneck not seen in human history for thousands of years. To get through the time of violent climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, nuclear proliferation, among other crises, with 8 billion humans--probably four times what's sustainable--we need immense solidarity. Cooperation. A refusal to accept any stories about certain kinds of people not deserving to be rescued. But instead we hear all this crazy shit about "we have to win the AI race with China" for example--why? Why do we have to win anything against China, why don't we cooperate instead? And why shouldn't we eject AL, let China have it? The risks and downsides are enormous, the benefits trivial. Sometimes it seems like there aren't a lot of grownups.
We are living in Sci-Fiction. The story is about to become darker it seems. We have no protagonist in the u.s. Do we know who the writer is? We are all Palestinians.
According to the government, you are quite free to do as they say and never question their unbounded authority. In their eyes, that is more than enough freedom for us slaves.
"If the right to free speech does not include the right to oppose an active genocide using strong and unmitigated language, then there is no freedom of speech."
We need to understand this. Gaza is the tip of the spear that is tearing off the clothes of the Emperor, which is the Empire that controls and profits from this genocide.
Gaza is the tip of the spear and western support of israel's genocides will be its doom and the huge turning point. Trump, Biden, Obama, Merz, Macron, Starmer, Ursula VDL, Kaja, and many other western war criminals are just symptoms of the utter sickness of the rotting empire. And yes, we are all Palestinians now.
Your government is weak. If enough Australians simply refuse to comply, and if enough of you take to the streets, then your government will be more afraid of you Australians than of Netanyahu, and they will take the path of least resistance.
Why do you think they finally recognized the Palestinian State in the first place?
Ohio Barbarian, The Bondi Beach reaction is as if the Australian Jewish community is grieving a second holocaust. It looks a bit contrived specially after the resounding silence against a genocide. In their grief did anyone stop to think what it must have been/must be for the Palestinians ?
Prime Minister Albanese had been booed by the crowd, this in spite of his loyalty to the community, not reacting to Netanyahu's insults and slamming on draconian measures to stop protests.
Well, all you Aussies, Welcome to Fascist America as the 51st. state. I wish I could help you get your country back, but I can't even seem to be effective about getting the U.S.A. back to even a little semblance of what it (Actually never really was). So, good luck!
The only people who "believed" that we lived in a free society are the ones who were never silenced. Those who were silenced while living in a so-called free society know full well that the platitudes about freedom, justice and liberty for all, was a big fat lie. Those people knew about the Just-us system.
It seems, that now the rest of society is beginning to see, feel and protest about what the disenfranchised in these so-called "free" societies have been screaming about since forever.
Shut up or put up is nothing new. It's just finding its way into the mainstream and now the "rest" of those in these so-called "free" societies can see, feel and protest about what the marginalized knew the whole time.
To quote Malcolm X, "The chickens have come home to roost."
Tear down the Zionist Terrorist Wall brick by brick. One State Palestine. Fuck the IDF terrorists, and ban them from your country unless they prove they have not committed War Crimes.
Yeah, we get it. Our societies are not free- we were not allowed to opposed the 'covid' measures or disobey them although there was no evidence for them. Our societies are controlled by US based interests in pharma, fossil fuels, animal ag, finance, media and arms.
Can't we just go and beat the crap out of all those pompous toffee nosed sadistic toffs misleading the west? Just had to say it. They represent the billionaire diversion into a cul de sac, not humanity. Didn't that hippie beetle with the round glasses make a tune about " imagine theres no billionaire", or have i got it wrong?
Israel, in full knowledge, tried to sink the USS Liberty and kill all survivors on June 8, 1967.
Their attack upon the US's liberty continues to this day.
When liberty does not serve them they attack it, ******just as they are doing in Australia today.*****
They want to control the narrative, your voices, your beliefs.
Evidence of their success can be found in the USS Liberty attack. Ask an American about the attack and you will get a full spectrum of responses. Americans are not taught about what really happened, in fact silence is the best option. (Ask a dual loyalist, like an AIPAC member, and they are unanimous in their response.)
On the fiftieth anniversary of the USS Liberty Attack I searched the media high and low for mention of it. Water in a desert.
The big news that week was the release of Wonder Woman (2017). It was treated like a huge social event for the benefit of the indoctrinated that pushed all other news aside
Unsurprisingly, the star of Wonder Woman was a "former" member of the IDF. I kid you not.
The fiftieth anniversary of the USS Liberty Attack came and went with barely anyone aware.

You are an "antisemite" if you utter the first line of this post.
Don't Let the fascist coward thugs impose their foul racist agenda on civilized society. Their pathetic threats are cowardly and racist. They enjoy hurting women and children. Vile fucks and their pathetic toady useful idiots in orange freak's america. Defend the God given right to defend all that is good and moral. No fascist thug can take away the right to protest evilness. Long Live the brave Palestinian people who are under murderous occupation. A powerful UN, ICC and let the loathsome ICC indicted war mongering coward go straight to fucking prison for all time.
Fight. Fight the loathsome fascists and their evil supremacist racist propagandist ideology. The ICC indicted war mongering coward and thug can not tell civilized society what to say.Think. Act. This group of war mongering criminals are hardly fucking role models. Western political cowards, grow a fucking spine you gullible corrupt idiots. Let the Palestinians who haven't been murdered, free. Stop the massacres by the loathsome idf thugs. We need a strong UN. ICC. Arrest the ICC indicted thug now!
If we could turn back the clock to when satanyahu should have been given his sentence, the Palestinians would not have had to go through the hell of the last few years. Nutenyahu would be in prison, the two violent headaches would not be in the positions nutenyahu put them in. America would not have provided so many bombs. A treaty could have been agreed up for Palestine to have a state equal in size to what the zionists have claimed to be theirs. Gaza would still have all its infrastructure, farms, olive groves etc., and businesses. There would be no more gates that Palestinians need to pass through.
So, all of this destruction and death is about keeping that egomaniac from prison, and look at how much his not being in prison has affected other countries.
Really, all this for one man the world would be better off without

They will gun us down if necessary. All they need is go-ahead command from their supreme leader - Netanyahu.

Never fear; they're busy building new "detention facilities" as we speak.
Seriously?
I hope they're 5 star. It'll be cheaper than rent.
I read that a facility to hold 10,000 cost 10 billion $. A million apiece. For that price it better be pretty damn luxurious.
Of those 10 billions per facility I am sure 9.5 billions will go into pockets of corrupt class. So no it is not going to be luxurious. Not even close.

Western propaganda about Tiananmen Square has been convincingly refuted since1989:

Within China, discussion, images, and commemorations of the 1989 crackdown are tightly controlled and censored; digital searches, social media, and public memorials are blocked or removed.
Sources of evidence: Eyewitness testimony (journalists, foreign diplomats, protesters, medical staff), photography and video (some smuggled out), hospital and burial records, academic research, and declassified diplomatic cables. These sources vary and have gaps, which is why exact casualty counts and some details remain contested.
Awesome compilation. If you're talking to western liberals about the Tiananmen Square myth, also provide this from the Columbia Journalism Review. It holds sway with shitlibs who still buy the Empire's evil lies.

I know very little about the reasons for the protests, nor do I take a side. I don't know enough about modern-day China to have an opinion on its rights or wrongs, nor is it my business, unless it threatens world peace/climate/ecological collapse (which most 'developed' nations do). I do know that students were killed there, though. That's what I was referring to.
"...students were killed there..." is so vague and devoid of context as to be meaningless. The Chinese state did not systematically (or even in coordinated fashion) just line up and shoot innocent "students." The "students" carried out the vast majority of the violence. Even the famous photo of the "student" bravely standing in front of an approaching tank is hokum. The tanks were LEAVING the square after the "student" riots, not heading there to fire on innocent people. You really should peruse the collection of links you've been provided when you have time. You'll find that breaking down the Empire's lies and propaganda, even on long-ago events, the "truths" you've embraced or been force-fed over the decades are almost always lies and distortions.
If the tanks were leaving why dud they drive over that person?

CBS NEWS: “We saw no bodies, injured people, ambulances or medical personnel — in short, nothing to even suggest, let alone prove, that a “massacre” had occurred in [Tiananmen Square]” — thus wrote CBS News reporter Richard Roth.
BBC NEWS: “I was one of the foreign journalists who witnessed the events that night. There was no massacre on Tiananmen Square” — BBC reporter, James Miles, wrote in 2009.
NY TIMES: In June 13, 1989, NY Times reporter Nicholas Kristof – who was in Beijing at that time – wrote, “State television has even shown film of students marching peacefully away from the [Tiananmen] square shortly after dawn as proof that they [protesters] were not slaughtered.” In that article, he also debunked an unidentified student protester who had claimed in a sensational article that Chinese soldiers with machine guns simply mowed down peaceful protesters in Tiananmen Square.
REUTERS: Graham Earnshaw was in the Tiananmen Square on the night of June 3. He didn’t leave the square until the morning of June 4th. He wrote in his memoir that the military came, negotiated with the students and made everyone (including himself) leave peacefully; and that nobody died in the square.
A) They DIDN'T drive over that or any other person.
AND -
Either B) that person was a "student" who knew they were leaving and decided to stage a photo-op, which was gleefully eaten up by western anti-China anticommunist media to the point it became iconic, just like the photo of the little girl after the My Lai massacre (another iconic photo which has its own less than savory twists - the credited photog who went on to fame and fortune wasn't really the person who took that shot).
Or C) It was the Chinese Communist Party who staged the photo (see the "Tank Man" Wikipedia section on that theory).
Either way nobody got run over by any tanks during those protests.
Camps!
You have also been led astray on Tiananmen Square, it seems.

It was the US-backed "students" who started the riots and the killings. These "students" torched entire buses of Chinese government police armed only with nightsticks. You've been lied to again and didn't even notice.
If you want to talk about gunning down protestors that actually did happen, try Kent State or the Maidan Coup in Ukraine.
Thanks, Tom. Tiananmen Square is one of earliest color revolutions. From the NED website: https://www.ned.org/tiananmen-square-massacre-anniversary-ned-stands-in-solidarity-with-chinese-partners/ They do more than stand in solidarity...
Fucking ridiculous. It's like the "Holodomor" or the Taiwan "student" protests or - as you noted - so many other color revolutions. They've tried it numerous times in Venezuela, and succeeded in other LA countries as well as Europe. Anything NED says I automatically assume the opposite to be true. Almost akin to "never believe anything is true until there's an official denial" or the old quote from William Casey about the CIA's mission.
Don't be surprised.
Unfortunately, there is no limit. The prisons are for-profit companies that also supply the bounty hunters. There is record overcrowding and deaths in custody.
With $14 BILLION per year for detention services allocated for next three years, it may be one of the fastest growing 'care' industries in the U.S.
There have already been over 30 deaths in custody for 2025 alone.

Not civilised. It should be mandatory to protest genocide in any civilised society.
You answered the question. Empire of lies is NOT a civilised society and hence protesting continuing genocide of Palestinians is not allowed.
How America defines Freedom today, is similar to how Israel's definition and interpretation and meaning of what is a' Ceasefire and what is a 'Genocide' Actually Israel does not seem to have a clue or the meaning of either ,a Ceasefire, or Genocide ,and Americas leaders like TRUMP is losing their own meaning and understanding of Freedom and Democracy .
Both believes the Meaning is' the freedom to Drop Bombs on anyone and everyone you brand and deem as your enemy and Crush them with your overwhelming Military might, or imprison them
I'm gonna say it again: this isn't just about Gaza/Palestine/Israel. The "Western" power structure would not be so ferociously opposed if "globalize the intifada" actually meant "kill the Jews." The real threat is the EXPOSURE of the ugly reality behind the mask of The Free World, Liberal Democracy, yadda yadda, which the Gaza situation has been so radiantly providing--when the NATO alliance are all insisting that arming a genocide is the right thing to do and their citizens can SEE the horrific reality every fracking day...it's hard to stay asleep. And once more and more people wake up, they're likely to question much more than that one thing, horrible as it is. Like, why is my government doing nothing real about climate change? Why the FRACK are we pouring money into NEW nuclear weapons? Why do the media, including so many supposedly opposing ones, speak in lockstep on so many issues, even using the same words? Why are the major parties and the nedia pushing the rapid expansion of data centers for AI, despite AI, despite all the harms caused by both AI and data centers? Why, once I look into independent media, do I see so many stories about miscarriages of justice, about pollution causing disasters which taxpayers are expected to pick up the tab for? Why are rich countries all turning toward blocking entry by immigrants? Could it be that the division of the people of my country into two opposing camps, so convenient for the rich and powerful, is no accident? A world in which the world steps in to rescue the Palestinians is a world in which we step in to rescue ecosystems, endangered species, future generations, the poor. Can you imagine people all over the world uniting to overthrow the power structure and put humanity's resources toward solving problems, healing ecosystems, ensuring that everyone has enough (which means no longer can some have too much) and we terminate war? Perhaps the ruling class can, and it's the stuff of their nightmares. Globalize the intifada!
You think and write up to your name. I totally agree. The Westerners betrayed themselves through Gaza. There is no democracy at all and we certainly are not free. Warmongerers for money and power to enable it, that's all what matters. There is no humanity.
Nvidia has announced it is going to build a new plant on Occupied land by 2027. Globalize the Intifada.
you mean in Palestine?
Yes. One State Palestine !
Thank you, Mary Wildfire. "A world in which the world steps in to rescue the Palestinians is a world in which we step in to rescue ecosystems, endangered species, future generations, the poor".
May I add, a world which pays reparations for past colonial disasters, let countries ravaged by colonial greed pick up the pieces and not subject them to "a fate worse than debt... ".
We are facing a bottleneck not seen in human history for thousands of years. To get through the time of violent climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, nuclear proliferation, among other crises, with 8 billion humans--probably four times what's sustainable--we need immense solidarity. Cooperation. A refusal to accept any stories about certain kinds of people not deserving to be rescued. But instead we hear all this crazy shit about "we have to win the AI race with China" for example--why? Why do we have to win anything against China, why don't we cooperate instead? And why shouldn't we eject AL, let China have it? The risks and downsides are enormous, the benefits trivial. Sometimes it seems like there aren't a lot of grownups.
Globalize the intifada--power to the people!
We are living in Sci-Fiction. The story is about to become darker it seems. We have no protagonist in the u.s. Do we know who the writer is? We are all Palestinians.
According to the government, you are quite free to do as they say and never question their unbounded authority. In their eyes, that is more than enough freedom for us slaves.
And you can watch all the porn you want. That and guns is what many care about.
"If the right to free speech does not include the right to oppose an active genocide using strong and unmitigated language, then there is no freedom of speech."
We need to understand this. Gaza is the tip of the spear that is tearing off the clothes of the Emperor, which is the Empire that controls and profits from this genocide.
Gaza is the tip of the spear and western support of israel's genocides will be its doom and the huge turning point. Trump, Biden, Obama, Merz, Macron, Starmer, Ursula VDL, Kaja, and many other western war criminals are just symptoms of the utter sickness of the rotting empire. And yes, we are all Palestinians now.
Agreed, Nick. Well put.
Your government is weak. If enough Australians simply refuse to comply, and if enough of you take to the streets, then your government will be more afraid of you Australians than of Netanyahu, and they will take the path of least resistance.
Why do you think they finally recognized the Palestinian State in the first place?
Ohio Barbarian, The Bondi Beach reaction is as if the Australian Jewish community is grieving a second holocaust. It looks a bit contrived specially after the resounding silence against a genocide. In their grief did anyone stop to think what it must have been/must be for the Palestinians ?
Prime Minister Albanese had been booed by the crowd, this in spite of his loyalty to the community, not reacting to Netanyahu's insults and slamming on draconian measures to stop protests.
Well, all you Aussies, Welcome to Fascist America as the 51st. state. I wish I could help you get your country back, but I can't even seem to be effective about getting the U.S.A. back to even a little semblance of what it (Actually never really was). So, good luck!
The only people who "believed" that we lived in a free society are the ones who were never silenced. Those who were silenced while living in a so-called free society know full well that the platitudes about freedom, justice and liberty for all, was a big fat lie. Those people knew about the Just-us system.
It seems, that now the rest of society is beginning to see, feel and protest about what the disenfranchised in these so-called "free" societies have been screaming about since forever.
Shut up or put up is nothing new. It's just finding its way into the mainstream and now the "rest" of those in these so-called "free" societies can see, feel and protest about what the marginalized knew the whole time.
To quote Malcolm X, "The chickens have come home to roost."
Tear down the Zionist Terrorist Wall brick by brick. One State Palestine. Fuck the IDF terrorists, and ban them from your country unless they prove they have not committed War Crimes.
I support Palestine Action.
Yeah, we get it. Our societies are not free- we were not allowed to opposed the 'covid' measures or disobey them although there was no evidence for them. Our societies are controlled by US based interests in pharma, fossil fuels, animal ag, finance, media and arms.
Is there anyone who hasn't got this yet?
Can't we just go and beat the crap out of all those pompous toffee nosed sadistic toffs misleading the west? Just had to say it. They represent the billionaire diversion into a cul de sac, not humanity. Didn't that hippie beetle with the round glasses make a tune about " imagine theres no billionaire", or have i got it wrong?
You can do whatever you like! x
People prefer not to think about it and do as if everything is normal.
Israel, in full knowledge, tried to sink the USS Liberty and kill all survivors on June 8, 1967.
Their attack upon the US's liberty continues to this day.
When liberty does not serve them they attack it, ******just as they are doing in Australia today.*****
They want to control the narrative, your voices, your beliefs.
Evidence of their success can be found in the USS Liberty attack. Ask an American about the attack and you will get a full spectrum of responses. Americans are not taught about what really happened, in fact silence is the best option. (Ask a dual loyalist, like an AIPAC member, and they are unanimous in their response.)
On the fiftieth anniversary of the USS Liberty Attack I searched the media high and low for mention of it. Water in a desert.
The big news that week was the release of Wonder Woman (2017). It was treated like a huge social event for the benefit of the indoctrinated that pushed all other news aside
Unsurprisingly, the star of Wonder Woman was a "former" member of the IDF. I kid you not.
The fiftieth anniversary of the USS Liberty Attack came and went with barely anyone aware.

You are an "antisemite" if you utter the first line of this post.
Don't Let the fascist coward thugs impose their foul racist agenda on civilized society. Their pathetic threats are cowardly and racist. They enjoy hurting women and children. Vile fucks and their pathetic toady useful idiots in orange freak's america. Defend the God given right to defend all that is good and moral. No fascist thug can take away the right to protest evilness. Long Live the brave Palestinian people who are under murderous occupation. A powerful UN, ICC and let the loathsome ICC indicted war mongering coward go straight to fucking prison for all time.
Fight. Fight the loathsome fascists and their evil supremacist racist propagandist ideology. The ICC indicted war mongering coward and thug can not tell civilized society what to say.Think. Act. This group of war mongering criminals are hardly fucking role models. Western political cowards, grow a fucking spine you gullible corrupt idiots. Let the Palestinians who haven't been murdered, free. Stop the massacres by the loathsome idf thugs. We need a strong UN. ICC. Arrest the ICC indicted thug now!
If we could turn back the clock to when satanyahu should have been given his sentence, the Palestinians would not have had to go through the hell of the last few years. Nutenyahu would be in prison, the two violent headaches would not be in the positions nutenyahu put them in. America would not have provided so many bombs. A treaty could have been agreed up for Palestine to have a state equal in size to what the zionists have claimed to be theirs. Gaza would still have all its infrastructure, farms, olive groves etc., and businesses. There would be no more gates that Palestinians need to pass through.
So, all of this destruction and death is about keeping that egomaniac from prison, and look at how much his not being in prison has affected other countries.
Really, all this for one man the world would be better off without
Davina:
Actually we’d need to go back to pre-1948.
To clean up the whole mess, yes back to 1948 and maybe earlier.
Violent "headcases" not headaches!
