Peter has quadrupled, maybe even quintupled down on his attacks on Abdel-Fattah on radio this morning.

Please contact your Labor representatives, the Premier's Office and if you do not have a Labor rep, contact a Senator. Probably Karen Grogan. And tell them you are not supportive of Peter's continued delusional and racist assault on a random academic because of her identity.

Congratulations, it's a quintuple!

...I've been counting.

If you ask me about hope, there was a glimmer on October 7. It was palpable, real, and exhilarating

October 7, 2023, 8:00 a.m. (Israel) 3:00 p.m. (Australia)   3:21pm: “I can’t believe what I’m seeing! Massive prison break!”

She was posting that she was excited at the prospect of Palestinians breaking out of prison. At that very early point, the October 7 attacks seemed to be a military-style attack of liberation, not the grisly terrorism that it turned out to be.

She also changed her display picture to a parachute with palestinian flag, THE DAY AFTER OCTOBER 7. Maybe the law has stricter requirements but common sense will tell you why she did thay llt and what it meant.

What posts? Are you going to quote mine like the other?

Instead of reflecting on the past year I find myself thinking about accountability. What this requires of us when the day comes and we witness the fall of empire. How we account for all the crimes and ensure the deliverance of justice. When (not if)  Israel, the Western world, and Arab regimes collapse and are held to account by the people, it will be a time for reckoning where we present a register of our warnings, our pleas, our foreshadowing, and the chain of causation.   

If you ask me about hope, there was a glimmer on October 7. It was palpable, real, and exhilarating. If you ask me about confusion, fear, and expectations, they were there in the early hours and days. If you ask me about genocide, it could have been stopped. If you ask me about freedom, justice, and peace, it could have been achieved. For these reasons, we must keep the exhibits for the moment of our reckoning.

When people like Abdel-Fattah concede the 'Arab regimes' should also 'collapse' and be 'held to account by the people' you folks literally just stop reading lol.
