“'The world is watching you right now', said Greenblatt in a fairly dramatic and disingenuous manner. Fact is, the world is watching Israel, its actions, and the hollow and hypocritical words of anyone like him. No Hasbara budget will change that." Meanwhile, his Israel lobby's support is tanking.

They’re using AI to justify slashing and offshoring even more Australian jobs and the Government is standing by and watching it happen. Ask yourself who profits from this? We need a system that delivers for the 99% who need jobs not the 1% who live off profits.
