Masha Gessen Responds to Controversy After Comparing Gaza to a Nazi Ghetto:
‘"What I am writing about is the way in which the memory of the holocaust is wielded, to put it very bluntly, to turn Israel into a forever victim that is unassailable. And at this particular moment, to turn off any criticism of its actions in Gaza…..
.. out of the 6 million Jews who died in the holocaust 1.3 million died of starvation and disease, exactly what is being inflicted upon people in Gaza, as a weapon of war, right now. The biggest difference between Gaza and the Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Europe is that most Gazans are still alive. There is still an opportunity for the world to step in and stop this.”

At this point you have to ask, what will be anything approaching commensurate punishment for the Israeli government and Defence forces, and what redress.
For many watching the atrocities unfold, Israel has forfeited its right to exist as a State - on top of all those responsible being tried for war crimes.
The US, a trailblazer in killing and displacing millions, including starving children to death thru sanctions has long forfeited any claim to be the world policeman. Australia is on the wrong side of history in strengthening our subservience.

If you had told me that even in this cruel world a modern state would get away with slaughtering over ten thousand children in ten weeks, while still retaining the support of most western governments and blanket cover from the mainstream media I simply wouldn't have believed you... #GazaGenocide

The @SydneyTheatreCo should be boycotted. It succumbed to the usual bullying and harassment of the #aparttheidIsrael lobby. Gutless.

Israeli govt propagandist Mark Regev confirms reporting by me and others that burned bodies presented by Tel Aviv as evidence of Hamas atrocities were in fact Hamas activists burned by Israeli hellfire missiles
This also adds legitimacy to claims that many Israelis found burned beyond recognition were friendly fire victims

Every day in Australia those who have committed serious crimes return to our community after being imprisoned. No issue. But a handful of migrant detainees are released and there is hysteria. Racism? #auspol

Francesca Albanese walked into the press club as a guest speaker. She walked out leaving the MSM journos in a mess, she owned the joint. Didn’t know who they were, just took them on with knowledge. Try harder journos.

Who can see this & not be shaken to the core? Thousands of Palestinian children are being slaughtered & thousands upon thousands will suffer unbearable trauma& horror all their lives. Stop U.S. complicity with #GenocidalIsrael.

Hmmm where are all the Israelis being asked if they condemn the massacres that their government is carrying out?

Vile, empty, soulless man. The absolute worst.
This is a sad day for our country, I hope it haunts him forever. #ShameOnDutton

The fact that Israel can cut off the electricity supply to Gaza should tell you all you need to now about Israel’s crushing control over the lives of the people in Gaza. #FreePalestine

They’ll revise history, they’ll demonise Palestinians as usual, they’ll tell you it was ‘unprovoked’, that Palestinians are bloodthirsty, and it hurts to face this smothering propaganda machine, but I have so much love and peace in my heart knowing my people stand steadfast

Of the few famous names in the arts who stand by the terrorised Palestinians, Roger Waters has been a beacon for as long as I have reported from the Middle East. None has faced down the malign smears of the Israeli state and its foreign acolytes as he. I salute him.

What ??? Why does the ABC keep giving airtime to these 3rd rate, tendentious Murdoch blatherers ? I assume it’s lazy or unimaginative producers…

I always half-jokingly say that there are three spaces that I have lived all my life, believing they will get better when in fact they only got worse and worser: Palestine, Lebanon and the university.

Congratulations to Sydney Uni students for taking this stand.
University of Sydney Students' Representative Council votes to support BDS "to achieve freedom, justice and equality for Palestinians." ✊🏾
@src_sydneyuni stands in solidarity with Palestinians "living under an Apartheid state."

What game is Albanese playing? The Aust. PM says he working to free Julian Assange, then it's too hard, now it's game on again. What is the truth? Are you 'standing up' or not? Or are you colluding?

A worthy @CFMEU initiative to
address a huge social problem — the lack of affordable housing. Surely it’s another signal that @AustralianLabor’s housing plan is completely inadequate?
A CFMEU initiative for a corporate super profit tax to fund social and affordable housing couldn’t have come at a better time. greenleft.org.au/content/cfm…
