Notes and some research from today’s speakers (including a wonderful poem from an 8 year old boy here: https://youtu.be/26C68B0N8w4 )
 
War
 
* All eyes on North Gaza – as a retired General’s plan of surrender of starve appears to be being enacted: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e82yy0wxno
* Also Lebanon: worryingly the narrative coming from the IDF at this point is very similar to Gaza – every home a terrorist cell, every house has a rocket … to justify indiscriminate bombing.
* Numbers of dead – 40,000 being the ridiculous number we should STOP using – in the same week that a pro-Israeli leader gets upset at the media using a “Hamas provided figure”: so what ARE we allowed to use in your exceptionalist presence mate? – https://x.com/AlexRyvchin/status/1843774052927975580
 
Protesting
 
* Lots more police this week – no doubt to justify the NSW Premier Minns angle on banning democratic protest due to cost / resource usage (against Human Rights 101)
* The importance of coming out to protest every week. Reminded me of this video imagining the Gaza Genocide Museum in 2040 – and children asking “What did you do?”: Israel will eventually pay price for Gaza genocide going on for a year: Turkish President Erdogan
* University of Western Sydney: the brutal arrest of three students protesting divestment with heavy handed riot police on campus twice: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/oct/09/two-men-arrested-pro-palestine-protest-western-sydney-university-nsw-ntwnfb
* Silence from the media on the brutal murder of a 66 year old well loved peaceful activist Ziad Aby Ehlayyel  in Palestine – beaten to death by the IDF this week: https://www.commondreams.org/news/palestinians-killed-in-west-bank https://x.com/codepink/status/1843242492281471267
 
 
Green Senator David Shoebridge gave an important speech:
 
* Labor and Coalition are “the Warring Parties”…
* Lying about weapons shipments – drone engines, armour plating, drone guns, F35 parts
* They are in an election cycle of extreme statements – the Coalition has NO LIMITS – and will make an extreme statement, Labor will double down and follow them and so on – madness
* They do not represent the decency of their constituents – and are looking more isolated – not the Australian way. An excellent point countering the “decent Australian values” the pro-Israeli enablers purport to have gaslighting people with their State propaganda.
 
A beautiful wee 8 year old boy read out a poem on the children of Gaza and Lebanon towards the end: https://youtu.be/26C68B0N8w4
