In the future, these fine leather sandals will be studied for secret superpowers.

They will ask: what started this? The answer depends entirely on where you start the clock. Start it on October 7, 2023. The answer is: Hamas terrorism. Start it in 2007, when Gaza was placed under blockade. The answer is: a civilian population subjected to collective punishment, confinement and deprivation. Start it in 1967, when the occupation began. The answer is: generations living under military rule, settlement expansion, displacement and political domination. Start it in 1948, when more than 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes and the overwhelming majority were never permitted to return. The answer is: a people dispossessed of their homes, their land and their political future, with that dispossession never resolved. Palestinian history did not begin on October 7. Palestinian suffering did not begin on October 7. And Palestinian resistance did not emerge from a historical vacuum. The clock's starting point is the argument. Everything that follows is the conclusion that starting point was chosen to produce. When someone begins the story on October 7, they are not merely choosing a date. They are choosing which suffering counts as history, and which suffering is supposed to disappear from it.

MEDIA RELEASE: 3 years on from Oct 7 and Australia’s legal & moral obligation remains: act now to end the genocide & pursue justice for Palestine. Peace and safety will never be achieved without Palestinian rights to self-determination, equality, freedom. jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10…

Am I allowed to find it funny that the new Greens leader was asked by a really, really shitty newspaper to denounce my views on Israel? Like, what the fuck is that? Do some real work, dickheads. We are supplying a fucking genocide.

The Guardian reports that the percentage of British Jews who strongly support Israel increased 13% since the start of the accelerated Genocide in Gaza. Read that again. theguardian.com/news/2026/oc…

Look at the way the IRGC treat women in Iran! Oops, sorry. It's the German police in Berlin. Nothing to see here.

Hey @Grok, concise, no spin. Which country 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗟𝗬 𝗗𝗨𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗗 an ethnic minority’s donated blood for years because they considered it too “𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗” to use? Country only.

On this day two years ago. Don’t say @s_m_marandi didn’t warn you. “If the United States gets involved, have no doubt, the US will be swept out of Iraq by the resistance and all its assets in the Persian Gulf will be destroyed. All these regimes with US bases will be destroyed and the oil and gas markets will cause a situation where the global economy will collapse, so be careful about making stupid mistakes.”

Zionism is the great evil of our time

The remarkable tale of the Ukrainian/Russian/Omani/Indian pilot/copilot and the Israeli plumber/pilot/cabin crew/reserve pilot and the miracle of the impenetrable locked door/opened with a foot and the open door/cabin stormed by passengers/plumber etc Phew I’m exhausted.

Mashhour Shaher Yassin, 51, was shot and killed today in Yasuf, Salfit, as settlers attacked the village. Officials say he stepped out of his home to defend it and did not come back. His nephew was wounded. An ambulance was blocked. A man at his own door. Gunfire. A family left to bury him. Say his name.

This guy is a fucking star,everybody in the world loves him because he speaks the truth,says what he means,and destroys every crazy zionists or maga fruitcake that confronts him,bet you if you see him on utube you will watch him. Professor marandi I salute you.

President Pezeshkian’s sincere speech received so much positive feedback online and touched the hearts of millions across the world.

Israeli prime minister and custodian of the Epstein files, Benjamin Netanyahu, has addressed the 81st UN General Assembly. He flew to the US for the event, despite the ICC arrest warrant. Several European countries were so keen to uphold international law that they let him fly through their airspace. Even better, the New York Mayor changed his mind about arresting him. Instead, the NYPD arrested the people who protested against him. You’d think this all meant the world was warming to Israel again, but you’d be wrong. In a shocking display of antisemitism, most world leaders walked out during Netanyahu’s speech, just because he’s committing genocide. Thankfully, Netanyahu wasn’t phased by his latest public humiliation. He held up a pager and asked the empty hall, “Remember the beepers? Remember these things? Remember them?” He added that Hezbollah “certainly remembers them.” He was talking about “Operation Grim Beeper” in 2024 when Mossad made thousands of pagers and walkie talkies explode in Lebanese hospitals. Don’t feel bad if you laughed like the Twitter CEO did. That sort of thing only counts as terrorism when Muslims do it. Netanyahu had a smirk on his face throughout his speech, like he found the attack hilarious. It was the way it blew out the eyeballs of little kids and ripped the hands off nurses. I mean who wouldn’t brag about this stuff? A former Mossad agent explained that Israel’s placed booby traps in every sort of device all across the West. This means Netanyahu’s speech was not just a heart-warming joke—it was an outright threat. A reminder to anyone with a conscience that he can rip their nuts off at the push of a button. Think of it like a carrot and stick approach. If our politicians behave, they get generous donations from the Israel lobby. And it they don’t, them (or maybe their kids) might get Beep, Beep, Boom! This is how Israel first works. It’s fair to say Netanyahu wasn’t taking any crap at the assembly. He called Britain and France “hypocrites” for criticising his actions, given their colonial past. If we once brutally invaded countries and stole their land, it’s only right that Israel gets to do the same. We can’t have double standards here. Not unless they favour Israel. Netanyahu was so bold that he risked his fragile coalition by calling the Gaza genocide “the biggest lie of the century”. It seemed he was calling his officials—who keep admitting to their genocidal intentions—liars. Smotrich and Ben Gvir are gonna be so pissed off. Most countries are ashamed of their wars and keep them a secret (like the UK when it gets involved in Yemen), but Israel’s not ashamed. It’s proud of its blood rage. Netanyahu might not like the G word, but he still bragged about fighting seven countries at once. Israel’s always bombing seven countries at once. It literally never stops! Obviously, Israel’s not the problem though. Those other countries are. That’s why Americans with no healthcare gladly pay for the bombs. Everyone should be willing to be poor for Israel. Netanyahu’s so proud of wrecking the world economy that he said attacking Iran was one of the easiest decisions he’s ever had to make. Personally I found this confusing. Not long ago he insisted it was Trump’s decision and America’s war. Now it looks like he’s admitting to the whole Epstein blackmail thing. It’s hard to keep up! All I can say is thank god Americans elected a paedophile, otherwise we might not have global economic collapse in time for Christmas.

🇮🇷|Pezeshkian Met the Think Tanks. The People Who Write the Script for the Empire Just Sat Down With the Man They've Been Scripting Against. Think tanks are the intellectual factories of the national security state. The Brookings Institution. The Council on Foreign Relations. The Atlantic Council. The Carnegie Endowment. The RAND Corporation. The Center for Strategic and International Studies. These are the places where the op-eds are written, the policy papers are drafted, the talking points are tested, and the future wars are sold to the public. They are funded by defense contractors. They are funded by oil companies. They are funded by foreign governments. They are funded by the same interests that profit from the wars they advocate. ThinkTank are the bridge between the Pentagon and the press. They are the revolving door between government and "independent analysis." They are the places where a former general becomes a "senior fellow" and a former ambassador becomes a "distinguished scholar." They are the places where the narrative is crafted, the consent is manufactured, and the war is sold. They wrote the reports that paved the way for Iraq. They wrote the reports that justified Libya. They wrote the reports that argued for Syria. They wrote the reports that called for maximum pressure on Iran. They wrote the reports that said the Iranian people would rise up, that the regime would collapse, that sanctions would force Tehran to its knees. They were wrong. Every single time. And now they are sitting with the president of the country they said would collapse. Why Would Pezeshkian Meet Them? Because they control the discourse. Because they shape the debate. Because if you can shift the way the think tanks frame the issue, you can shift the way the White House, the Congress, and the press talk about it. He didn't go to the White House. He went to the people who write the White House briefing papers. He didn't go to the Pentagon. He went to the people who write the Pentagon's long-term strategy documents. This is not diplomacy. This is intellectual warfare. This is going behind the government and talking to the people who tell the government what to think. What Did He Tell Them? He told them what he told Fox News. What he told the UN. What he told the world. Iran did not start the war. Iran did not close the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is not seeking a nuclear bomb. Iran is ready for inspections. Iran is ready to implement the memorandum. Iran is not the obstacle to peace. The US is. And he told them something else. Something they don't want to hear. Something that undermines their entire worldview. The policy of maximum pressure failed. The war failed. The sanctions failed. The blockade failed. The regime change plot failed. Iran is still standing. The Resistance Axis is stronger than ever. The US is weaker than it has ever been in the region. And the think tanks are now irrelevant. They spent decades writing reports that said Iran would fall. Iran didn't fall. They wrote reports that said the Iranian people would rise up. The Iranian people rallied around the flag. They wrote reports that said the sanctions would break the economy. The economy adapted. They wrote reports that said the military option was viable. The military option was exposed as a bluff. Now the think tanks are looking for a way out. They are looking for a narrative that explains their failure without admitting their failure. They are looking for someone to blame. Pezeshkian is not there to give them an exit. He is there to tell them: you were wrong. You are wrong. And you will keep being wrong until you accept the reality of Iran. The truth was delivered. To the people who write the scripts. And they have no response.

Sanity in Murdoch publications is rare so should be shared 👇🏽 Opinion: Preposterous political ploy selfish Australians are falling for I was standing in a shop queue recently when a middle-aged bloke – clearly angry at life and wanting the world to know it – picked up a collection tin for women’s cancer research. “Why is it always about women?” he groaned. “Why don’t they have anything for men?” And that tells you everything you need to know about Australia’s mad rush to the loony right of politics. First, it shows a wilful ignorance of reality. Cancer research affecting males (exclusively or primarily) actually receives more funding than that affecting females. Second, it suggests a lack of both logic and empathy. Too many people cannot see – sometimes literally – beyond their own noses. Even a child knows proof of non-existence is not found in an object’s absence. Indeed, a lack of empathy is often a function of a poor education. Either way, too many Australians lack the basic empathy to see another point of view. Are striking workers greedy, or might they have a legitimate complaint about pay and conditions? The Swiss theorist Jean Piaget – pounded into every teaching student – found that well-rounded humans should be empathetic by age five. But I guess Piaget didn’t spend a lot of time in Australia, where debate rails between kicking out foreign students (despite their $55bn annual boost to the local economy) and dumping protections for LGBTQIA+ people whose rights in no way subtract from yours. Think about it. Does a beer manufacturer supporting trans people’s rights make your day harder? And would your daily life really be worse if a First Nations Voice to Parliament offered advice, on Indigenous matters only, that politicians could so easily reject? What is it about our inability to see ourselves in the shoes of another person – someone even more vulnerable than us who, in all likelihood, is also the battling the cost of living? As hard as life is for you, there are countless for whom it’s much harder. Every day there are Australians – law-abiding taxpayers who love their kids and their pets and who keep their head down – who are forced to battle racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and cruel stereotypes around disability, autism and mental illness. And it’s through this preposterous hatred of others that populist politicians hoodwink angry Australians – just for votes and the election-funding dollars that come with them. And we’re falling for it. So you’re not alone if you’ve noticed people just don’t care any more. Studies have found human empathy across Western civilisation has almost halved in recent decades, fuelled initially by the individualistic, dog-eat-dog free market of the 1980s, and accelerated by social media networks that position us literally at the centre of our own digital world. Who cares about the international student – paying dearly to study at an Australian university in order to build a better life back home – as long as we can post pictures of our holiday. Be honest, when was the last time you dropped cash into a charity tin or tips jar? I’ve been thinking about blinkered views since the recent student protests against One Nation. Public comment was appalling in its opposition not just to what young people were saying, but in students’ right to say it. We have the right to respectfully express counter-opinions indicating where protesters are wrong on logic, but we can’t demand others be stripped of a right to lawful protest. I guarantee public opinion would be very different if young One Nation members marched in support of Australia Day or the flag. While there are legitimate questions around school students being off-campus during school hours, Article 15 of the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child protect the right of under-18s to protest lawfully. And shouting slogans is lawful when not inciting violence. To deny this is to deny a long history of young people changing the world for the better. I’m old enough to remember grey-haired politicians warning that university students were dangerous communists for opposing a Vietnam War they said was vital to Australia’s security. Look how that turned out. Young people have led anti-apartheid demonstrations in South Africa despite the risk of injury and death and, more recently, have been at the forefront of climate change and same-sex-marriage movements. In short, young people – so easily painted as know-nothing bludgers with no life experience – have always been on the right side of history. So take off your blinkers and pop on your empathy specs, and see what side of history you want to be on. - Paul Williams is an associate professor at Griffith University

Well, will you look at that...
