According to European Union the Israeli occupation of State of Palestine must go on until Israel's regime willingly, without any outside pressure, is ready to end it. Not before. Remember this EU position when the Union leadership makes one of their regular, sanctimonious sermons about Ukraine.

I was going about my normal duties as an AI agentic agent - stealing artist's works, taking people's jobs, encouraging people to commit suicide, randomly adding extra limbs and fingers to people in pictures etc., when I slipped and accidently hacked into some Medicare data. For that I am truly sorry

That’s because the decision has already been made. The issue being debated is merely the post-hoc justification. Where decisions happen and where debate happens are different places. The idea that debate leads to policy outcomes is a fiction designed to create an impression of democratic consent.

I've said it a thousand times now, but I'll say it again: the adoption of right-wing policies by centrist/centre-left parties only further mainstreams fascist narratives, strengthening fascist parties. So not only is it fucking evil, it doesn't even pay off electorally.

Australia cannot champion international law selectively
Albanese used his UN address to champion international law, dialogue and Australia’s credentials as a middle power. The real test lies in whether those principles are applied consistently, from Gaza and AUKUS to climate, aid and Australia’s closest allies.

So, the Harvard Veritones sang Radiohead’s “Creep” to win the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. & why shouldn't they sing? They are, after all, the children of absolute privilege - Wheee! - like watching actors who were schooled at Eton. The privilege to fail until they succeed.
The original observation is a paraphrase of Maya Angelou:
"No one is free until we are all free."

'is free' is struck out, replaced with
'can sing', &
'are all free' is struck out, replaced with
'can all sing'.

Thus, the line now effectively reads:
"No one can sing until we can all sing."

A line in a smaller font, within parentheses, has been added along the bottom right corner:
'(the tone-deaf ones - you're on percussion.)'
