    They’re only willing to call out a generation defining genocide with subtle things like this rather than average making a statement that might make a difference.

    I swear I’m tearing my hair out at this government, there are several people at a high level, including Albo himself, who seem to have good instincts and want to do good but are so terrified of being called socialist or radical that they end up doing nothing or pushing a conservative platform.

      The people who will hate them over this are supporters of genocide. Their opinion is worth shit.

              Gaza is gone. It’s obliterated. Conservative estimates and official counts put the death toll at tens of thousands with research estimating the real figure to be in the hundreds of thousands. Many more hundreds of thousands have fled to Egypt and through Egypt to elsewhere and are never coming back. Hundreds of thousands more are trapped and are being starved. There is over 45 million tonnes of rubble that will take 10 to 15 years or more to remove not to mention toxic waste, unexploded ordinance and bodies. The materials to rebuild don’t exist in Gaza and Israel is not going allow Gaza to be rebuilt for Palestinians.

              All of this happened on the Democrats watch, with Democrat support and Democrat supplied armaments. There is no indication from anyone that the Democrats would have changed tact if Harris had won.
