If in Greek or Roman mythology, one of their gods promised land to the Greeks or the Romans, could modern-day Greeks and Italians use this "religious history" to invade and take land from other people? Why are ancient Israelite myths being used to justify modern Israel's many atrocities? 🤔 #Israel

Dear Australian news media, I have zero interest in your daily coverage of everything Pauline Hanson says and does. Yes, report her policies (when she releases them). But also report the policies of the Greens too. For balance. With some factual analysis of both. Do some bloody #journalism! #auspol

The existential threat to Australia's sovereignty is NOT China. It is foreign interference and influence by Israel and the USA, supported by the Australian mainstream news media and complicit Australian politicians, at a state and federal level. #auspol #AUKUS

I look forward to US history books of the future providing quotes of what Republican politicians said about Trump before and after he became US President. After criticising him as a racist, bigoted lying conman, they then all praised him and accepted roles in his administration. #USA #USPolitics

Marco Rubio: If you criticise Israel, you will not be granted a visa for the United States. Of course a warmongering superpower that bombs, invades or topples democratically-elected govts in other countries would support an insane, apartheid regime committing genocide in Palestine and Lebanon. #USA

"StarTrek II" saw Ricardo Montalban return as Khan from "Space Seed" S1E23. I'm always disappointed we never saw Joanne Linville reprise her role as the Romulan Commander from "The Enterprise Incident" S3E2. What if SHE had recovered Spock's body from the Genesis planet in "StarTrek III"? #StarTrek

I just saw a video of an Israeli tour guide explaining to tourists that "this is a 50/50 city and most of her Arab citizens left or vanished." Left? Vanished? This is the whitewashing or denial of the #Nakba, where Palestinians were killed or forcibly expelled from their homes. 😠 #FreePalestine

A Jewish Australian artist complained at the RC she was "cancelled" by an artists' group. In her testimony the reason is revealed: she referred to Palestinians as "animals"! How do we achieve "social cohesion" when someone refers to other people as "animals" then claims they're the victim? #auspol
