Starting WW3 is 'not even close' to being as dangerous as using the military inside the US? Fuck off. Guess what? The rest of the world does not agree. The reason you got a narcissist for a leader is because he's a reflection of your society. US is a nation of narcissists.

"Israel has a right to self-defence. The question here is not a legal proposition, the question here is what do we do now? We know Iran is a threat." This definition of 'self-defence' offers carte blanche to every aggressive military action ever. Penny is camped on the wrong side of history.

You know what the possibility of a 15% tax on the earnings (so, growth) on the amount of superannuation you have above $3 million is? "A Bloody Nice Problem To Have."

While I'm sure everyone would agree that delivering the aid supplies would have been welcome, it was never really likely. The mission was always to let Israel demonstrate just how war-crimey it can be, in as public a way as possible, with maximum attention. Pretty courageous from all on board.

No. This is from the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) an hour or so ago. Note the passive language and claim that police were aiming at protesters.

Two years of genocide and we're still being gaslit with bullshit articles like this. Banal legal ponderings, framed by an obtusely skewed narrative in which Hamas went on "a killing spree" while Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians is "self-defence" which has become "disproportionate". Debatable??

Passive voice on steroids.
