Absolutely not a distraction. Gaza was proof of concept, showing what they can get away with. Thus the attacks on Iran.

@albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social This is what we, the people of Australia who gave you an enormous parliamentary majority in the "Australians reject Trumpism" election, want you to do

You could not write a more prefect explanation of everything wrong with those advising Labor than this tweet. Not sure how you get to such a point in life, but please may I never be there.

As Penny knows Dropping bombs on a country is an act of war By supporting any strike on Iran you are supporting the war Trust in diplomacy was quite literally blown out of the park

After all the denials that the US wants regime change in Iran, guess who is posting “why wouldn’t there be a regime change” To see Australia backing up a government as incompetent and irresponsible as the US regime is soul hollowing

Fuck every American voter who supported Trump or stayed home. Your venality, stupidity, misogyny, racism and/or sheer indolence has endangered us all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So on brand for 'Western democracy' to convince their citizens to be more concerned about the cost of living than the planet dying, and tens of thousands of innocent people in other countries being slaughtered in their wars

LOL. I’m imagining Mark Carney, breaking out the big keg and ordering in a truckload of poutine and somebody puts on some really kickin’ tunes and all the world leaders throw their hands in the air and decades later everyone is still going on about what a great party it was after that one guy left.

Excellent article “all of the ugliness is right on the surface, not concealed in any way…the sheer shamelessness of Trump has really disempowered the opposition, bc our impulse is to keep looking for the thing that’s hidden & expose it…the problem is not what’s hidden, it’s what we’ve normalised”

Have we not reached the point when using normal diplomatic language to describe interactions with Trump is inappropriate It implies one is dealing with an ordinary person who doesn’t say one thing (often incoherently) then do something else Implied normalcy is misleading Might it be dangerous

Do Israelis believe that war crimes & starvation in Gaza, attacks in West Bank, bombing Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran will make them…. safer? When you’ve lost yr belief in proportion, negotiation, intl law, human rights or the sanctity of human life, you shd probably question what you’re fighting for
