It seems there were a few porkies told at the Royal Commission. I believe you have to take an oath or affirm to tell the truth if giving evidence. Why haven’t people been charged?

Ah for the good old days when the political right was against Medibank etc. Remember them telling us private enterprise does everything better? Remember the hospital staff who clean up your bodily fluids, no matter its origin? In North Carolina, nurses can bid against each other for open shifts.

From AP. “Israel says it has serious concerns with Hamas disarmament deal.” He (Doron Spielman) said the Israeli military would not withdraw from Gaza — where it controls more than 60% of the territory — before Hamas disarms. Given Israel’s record of abiding by deals, I think I know where this ends

From Michael West. “Appearing before the Commission for a third time on Thursday, Segal said the taskforce would bring together health regulators, professional boards, hospitals and government departments.” Under International law no state has a right to exist but it does have the right 1/

❝ This is exactly the same lie that those National Socialists told when they forced Jews to pay a million German Marks to the government to cover the costs of the Kristallnacht pogroms. Or the various promises that if they just cooperated, they would be allowed to live. ❞

‘Obey or die’ — Israeli settlers’ threat to Palestinian residents in West Bank

An open letter to the temporary residents in Judea and Samaria [Zionistspeak for the West Bank]:

Hanson’s BFF Gina Rinehart, lobbied for a controversial plan to move the 2032 Olympic rowing to a crocodile-inhabited river. Hanson believes politics involves accepting $m gifts and world tours, and we could be blaming the wrong people in DV matters. Proving you don’t need brains in this world.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party faces being struck off in Queensland after failing its legal obligation to lodge audited financial statements with the state’s regulator. And people believe she can run a country.

“Israeli siblings who fear breaking law in Gaza under IDF owed protection by Australia, tribunal finds”. The Guardian. Where will they go when we officially become South Eastern Israel? Until then, why do we allow IDF personnel here for R&R? Is the A.R.T wrong?

I have recently finished a book on the history of the Crusades, and I am now reading one on the Dreyfus Affair. It struck me that one of the idiotic reasons people use to hate and kill others is because they read a different book.

Of all the demons and evils I have been warned about, none are as evil as some of those who have stood in front of us, asking for the power to protect us.

In a couple of years, Netanyahu and Co. have turned Israel from the most supported state on the planet to one now considered to be a pariah. Trump has taken the US from a respected democracy to the brink of autocracy and a laughing stock. The templates are now public. Who's next?

The exact quote by Palestinian-American author and activist Susan Abulhawa is: "We are the only people in history who are expected to witness our own genocide, and then watch what we say so we don't hurt the feelings of the people who did this." Sums up the racism of Australia’s new free speech law

I do not deny that there is religious bigotry. It’s a sad byproduct of religion. As a child, I wore a school uniform that advertised my religion, catholic, and I was assaulted. Bigotry is centuries old, yet there’s been no political will to try to fight this ignorance. 1 of 2

Pauline Hanson’s poolside date with Gina Rinehart in Italy, according to The New Daily. A cynic may say that the champion of the Australian battler is on the payroll of the most worker-adverse person in Australia.

One hundred Democrats voted to slash military funding to Israel. That has to be a sign that support for Israel in its current incarceration is waning. Will Israel take notice?

I have an idea for a hit TV series. After America has stopped destroying itself and ICE is disbanded. It’s reality TV and therefore cheap and tasteless. It follows ex ICE thugs around to see how they are treated in the community. It’ll be a weathervane of the American societal consciousness.

The Guardian. Of the 199 complaints that included a concern around “fees and charges” or “funding for services relating to ageing” at residential facilities, 121 relate to for-profit providers; 75 to not-for-profit providers, and 3 were about government providers. Private business does it better!

Balogun Is playing for the US today. That's the end of the world cup for me. Trump can’t go near anything without fucking it. FIFA needs to be replaced.
