Terrifying rumors are swirling about Israel pressuring Trump to launch a nuclear strike on Iran immediately after the midterms or some other major escalation. I wish I was sure that this was too unhinged to take seriously, but we do not live in sane times where these kinds of dismissals are possible. Instead, we live amidst the rise of end times fascism, where dangerous accelerationists hold enormous sway in both the Israeli and U.S. governments. The hardcore religious end timers have partnered with criminals like Trump, Netanyahu, and several tech oligarchs whose only path to avoiding legal accountability for their many crimes is dramatic (and distracting) escalation. I desperately hope the rumors are exaggerated, but we need to be ready in case they are not. That's why we are releasing this video today on the eve of the U.S. midterms. We can defeat these maniacs, but only if we know what we are up against. youtube.com/watch?v=obZN_n53โ€ฆ

Shoalhaven Council has cancelled a Wall of Tears exhibition, a memorial artwork listing the names of more than 18,000 Palestinian children killed in Gaza. Because of Zionist complaints. Thereโ€™s a sickness when we are not even allowed to remember the deaths of innocent children.

I support Palestine Action
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation. Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

RT @LexiAIexander: They arrested a 94-year-old Jewish woman for terrorism. Is this still about protecting Jews?

In Segalโ€™s mind, intense criticism of Israel, which has perpetrated gross intโ€™l crimes, is the product of faddishness, Marxism, ignorance, hate. It canโ€™t possibly be the product of good faith genuine educated revulsion.

This is so intelligent, I want to cry: The 140 seats won by the student opposition against Serbia's nationalist government party will be taken up not by students, but by academics, professors & public figures from pre-chosen pool of 250 experts, selected by student plenums.

This!
The Israeli election is the most inconsequential election of our time. Why? Because all parties that can form a government are in lockstep on the *only* issue that matters: they will all push forward the Israeli settler colonial project in the land of Palestine. Nothing changes.

An empty building burns down in France and there is non-stop front page news, global outrage, wall to wall coverage, etc. A school full of children are incinerated alive in Gaza and not even a single report about it. This is why the western decline will continue.

Today I got directed by an anonymous @Sydney_Uni official to remove a Palestinian flag: 'the inclusion of what could be reasonably interpreted as blood splattersโ€ฆ, combined with a clenched fist, poses a psychosocial risk and is otherwise inappropriate'. I've refused to comply.

Even now, I still donโ€™t understand why childrenโ€™s toys are banned from entering Gaza. We are talking about dolls, balls, simple toys, and even kites, as if they are something dangerous or weapons capable of threatening an entire city. For more than three years, children have been deprived of the simplest things that should be part of their childhood. Children in Gaza have no safe places to play, no parks, no normal schools, and no life that resembles the lives of children anywhere else. They have grown up among rubble and tents, learning fear, displacement, and loss before learning how to play. Even small moments of joy have become incredibly rare. Every truck entering Gaza is thoroughly inspected and monitored, yet childrenโ€™s toys remain banned. What danger could there possibly be in a doll, a ball, or a kite? The world talks about humanity and childrenโ€™s rights, while the children of Gaza are denied even their most basic right: to play. The war may end one day and homes may be rebuilt, but the years stolen from these childrenโ€™s childhoods will never come back. A home can be rebuilt, but you cannot bring back a childโ€™s laughter, years of play, or the childhood memories they were supposed to have. An entire generation is growing up without ever knowing what childhood was supposed to be.
