Australians Who Don’t Have Fun on Australia Day Should Be Fined, Dutton Says

 It appears these lawyers have all ducked below the parapet very strange that they are noted for their current silence. They have made International News Oi Vey

Antoinette Lattouf was fired after sharing a Human Rights Watch Instagram post accusing the Israeli government of “using starvation of civilians as a weapon of war in Gaza.”

The Herald reported Tuesday that “dozens of leaked messages from a WhatsApp group called Lawyers for Israel show how members of the group repeatedly wrote to the ABC demanding Lattouf be sacked, and threatened legal action if she was not.” One Lawyers for Israel member called Lattouf’s lawyer, who is Jewish, a traitor.

Australian Journalist Fired After Israel Lobby Push

 

A worldwide resolution to stop trading with Israel,an immediate BDS would stop this intentional genocide in its tracks. Let America be Israel’s only support if that’s the case. Do the oil companies need Israel? Does Israel need the despots of the world to buy their weapons that much? Or is it simply America’s fear that they’ll lose their grip on their power in the Middle East. Surely it’s already diminished with renewables?

Israel is currently playing Biden for a mug and are happy to deal with Trump, Putin they’re currently open to the best offer. They are a rogue state the equivalent of North Korea ready to blackmail anyone even their once best friends. They have so many politicians by the short and curlies and have been working on it for years. Money talks AIPAC is just the tip of the influence iceberg

AIPAC makes sure that its friends get strong financial support from the many pro-Israel political action committees. Anyone who is seen as hostile to Israel can be sure that AIPAC will direct campaign contributions to his or her political opponents.”

 It is the largest pro-Israel PAC in America and contributed more resources directly to candidates than any other PAC. 98% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their general election races in 2022.

In conflict zones, more civilians were killed because of hunger and diseases than by weapons in battle ground. In Gaza, there is no battle ground, everywhere is battle ground, and as one of the Israeli military leaders said: “There is no innocent civilians in Gaza!” This statement itself carries an ‘intent’ to eliminate entire Gazans that consitutes crime of genocide conducted against entire population.
