Hard to imagine but the strategy of Israel's IDF even more murderous. British doctor reports it confiscating formula feed. Only purpose can be to kill babies.

1970: Bertrand Russell on Palestine
The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was 'given' by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With evert new conflict their numbers have increased> How much longer is the world going to endure this spectacular wanton cruelty?  It is abundantly clear that the refugees have very right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled in masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East. Bertrand Russell 1970.

Frame 1: Stage with generic Liberal type blue Australia sign, blond woman in pink suit and pearls at mic saying “Good afternoon. Before we begin today’s proceedings, I’d like to introduce respected community elder, Peter Dutton, to say a few words of welcome.”
Frame 2: Dutton approaches mic. “Thank you”.
Frame 3: Dutton at mic. “I’d just like to say, if you’re Indigenous, or a public servant, or an immigrant, or work for the ABC, or a climate scientist, or a kid with doubts, or just kind…you can bugger off.”
Frame 4: “You’re welcome.” Dutton exits stage.

A picture of Grace Tame smiling at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (who is off to the left of the image, not pictured). She is wearing a white tshirt with big, bold lettering that reads: Fuck Murdoch. A quote from Tame's article is overlaid on top of the image, which reads: "Why is my t-shirt more offensive to our prime minister than a 50-year assault on democracy?"
