"There is no antisemitism crisis in Australia. There is an anti-Palestinian crisis in Australia. An anti-Arab crisis in Australia. A pro-genocide crisis in Australia." - Precisely.

... and to anyone who uses the intelligence they have, it ought to be obvious.

As for the cowardly hypocritical rhetoric of politicians and others crying out against hate speech against Jews ... when it comes to Israel's genocidal slaughter of 45,000+ Palestinians known killed and another 15,000 missing and presumed killed, 70% of them women and children, I've been listening acutely and all I hear is silence - 60,000 dead, many many more maimed and injured, their homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and all infrastructure razed to the ground is evidently not as newsworthy as some graffiti on a wall.

We need some maturity across our population, both intellectual maturity and emotional maturity and a recognition, as the majority of us sit in cosy homes with full bellies and banal television to keep our minds dulled, that it could be us suffering the outrageously brutal and cruel actions of Netanyahu and his IDF, with the implicit approval, funding and arms of the USA. The Palestinians are human beings with the same needs, hopes, dreams and universalities of emotion as have we.

I know it is cliche´ and apologise for that but isn't it long past time we considered what it must be like to walk in a Palestinian's shoes?

The corporate media in US empire-controlled countries is beyond contempt—it’s complicit in an ongoing genocide. But the most frightening question is: why is it so easy to convince a majority of the population to go along with the lies and false narratives the corporate media spews?
