One thought on “Say No to War: why Australia needs to stay clear of Biden and Netanyahu’s genocide of the Palestinians – Michael West”

1. One wonders whether the 10/7 ‘surprise’ attack wasn’t so unexpected. Like the Cheney-Bush U.S. administration immediately post-9/11, this attack conveniently enables the Israeli Netanyahoo government to justify extreme emergency war measures then force through his/its ‘democratic reforms’ and do who-knows-what-more to Palestine, including cleansing it of much of its longtime Palestinian residents. Albeit, the attack may have been harder than the insiders had anticipated.

   It seems a bit convenient for Israeli power interests; notably, western world governments and especially our mainstream news-media basically all fell into line. Also, not widely publicized is that there are considerable fossil fuel reserves beneath long-held Palestinian land that are a plausible motivator for war. …

   It’s an obvious atrocity that so many Palestinian non-combatants are being prevented from accessing safety/sanctuary, not to mention starved of food. Yet, U.S. Republicans have gone into their ‘Christian’ mode, admitting that humanitarian aid for Palestinian Gazans was, or still is, not their concern. Jesus must be spinning in heaven.

   The general western corporate news-media’s ‘coverage’ of the Israel-Palestinian conflict has long been very wanting. This includes their reporting on the current and past violence but especially their non-reporting on the consequential anti-Palestinian social injustices that continue in between every military flare up over decades of Israeli occupation. Palestinian suffering and deaths in their entirety have not been justly represented. Their great suffering and deaths may somehow seem less worthy of our actionable concern as otherwise relatively civilized nations.
