Had to call off sick from work due to having a mental breakdown after seeing children's body parts hanging from fences in Rafah. First time this year I haven't been able to hold in the breakdown until after office hours. This place is dystopian af
Sydney: A Zionist strapped a bomb to someone's car because they didn't like that they proudly flew the Palestinian flag. The first two photos are of the bomb and the third photo is of the bomb squad robot.
I thought old mate might give us some trouble when he approached some of our guys on the island but he just wanted a turn with the flag 😭❤️🔥🇵🇸

Went to Tidbinbilla and saw 5 platypuses!!! Though pretty sure the last two we saw were these two again... so maybe we only saw 3. First time seeing platypuses in the wild I'm dead 😭
I need to emphasise that they are staunch - they continue to proudly fly the flag and state they are "not interested in bowng to terrorism" - this is the energy ✊🏾🔥
Doesn't matter how you protest, they will complain about it. Legal rally? Costs the state. Port sit-in? Bad for the economy. Carols at an ALP party? Poor taste. Kuffiyehs on stage? Terrifies theatre-goers. So you may as well protest however the fuck you want, and do it with gusto
If you screenshot my original now-deleted tweet about this, could you please delete it from your phone/refrain from sharing further to avoid potential doxxing? Thank you.
Today is a Global Day of Action for Palestine. All out for Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, all out for the resistance! Hyde Park North 1pm, Gadigal land (Sydney).
This world is absolutely batshit. International law is a fucking joke. We've been saying the same things for 2 months. Nothing changes. The people of Gaza are being hunted for sport. Did Israel allow them some sips of water and a scrap of food to make the hunt more entertaining?
On October 12 I went from being a very online mum of one to a slightly less online mum of two 😍 Welcome to the world Ilyan,
@hpstorian
, Owaisi and I are so so thrilled you're here 🥰🥰🥰
Love a rally so big you bump into 20 people you haven't seen in years but can't find any of the 50 people you know are there. Solidarity from Gadigal to Gaza ♥️🖤💚🫶🏾
Lol @ people in the replies trying to intimidate me by saying ASIO will now have their eyes on me. Ma'am I've been doing this for 21 years, I've been arrested and tried for protesting war crimes, I'm Muslim and wore hijab all of my 20s, I guarantee ASIO BEEN watching me.
Ok another friend called Penny Wongs office at 4:32pm today and got Jessica. My friend said Jessica "was so rude and told me to email. I said I already did and I'm not happy with the response. She said well we are not taking any more complaints, we are not handing over any more
Wanna hear something sick? A friend called
@SenatorWong
this morning and was told they are no longer taking public calls. Called
@AlboMP
and the staffer hung up on her when she politely asked that Australia demand a ceasefire.
Penny - 6277 7500
Albo - 6277 7700
Please call!
I know it's been just 12 hours since I tweeted the above but I'm feeling so completely powerless that I've scheduled in time tomorrow to call the offices of Albo, Penny, Jason and Tony. There's no point but there's no harm, it will take 10 minutes total. Please consider the same.
All this gaslighting and intimidation just makes me wanna wear my keffiyeh every single fucking day in every place in every way even if it's 42 degrees I will wear it to say fuck you to everyone who weaponises anti-racism in such a disingenuous manipulative way. So yeah fuck you!
Today I’ve written to the
@UniMelb
Vice-Chancellor seeking urgent assurances over calls for students to wear a keffiyeh in protest at graduation ceremonies, in breach of university rules.
This action is not only provocative but raises serious safety concerns for Jewish students.
Thanks for coming out today Sydney, marching in 38 degree heat is no joke but we still did numbers! And thanks to the organisers for moving the stage so we could stand in the shade 😅
Thanks everyone for sharing the story about the Zio bomb threat in Sydney and helping get it into the news. Theo isn't on Twitter so asked me to share this message with you. If you have messages of support and solidarity for him please DM and I can pass on.
@PALMENA_IC
I usually try and avoid posting footage that could act as trauma porn or contribute to dehumanisation but I simply do not know how else to get people to act anymore... Nothing works
The
#MardiGras
that
@ABCaustralia
didn't show you. Several protestors arrested, some injured due to heavy-handed policing. Police also claim flares were used, but they weren't they were smoke effects. No pride in genocide, free Palestine, ACAB.
Hey can we get more yt people at these things please? The number of yts is disproportionate, disappointing and dwindling. My POC friends are emotionally drained and experiencing racist backlash but still turn up. Shoutout to the yts who show up for Palestine consistently.
If youre around Newtown and feel like cake today, consider Black Star Pastry. They donated trays of cake to a fundraising event at Addi Road last night with the note "solidarity with Palestine" 🥹
Four people are locked on to infrastructure inside two Bisalloy Steels factory buildings in Wollongong, Dharawal Country!!! Come down and gather out the front to support 💗
Pro-Palestinian protesters from Anthony Albanese's Marrickville electorate are demanding the prime minister adopt a "firmer stance" by calling for "an immediate and permanent ceasefire" and severing "all ties with Israel".

📢📢📢 *URGENT ACTION!*
Both Inner West and Bayside Councils are voting to pass motions that call for peace in Gaza. It’s very important that we send in letters of support!
INNER WEST COUNCIL ARE VOTING TOMORROW (TUES 21 NOV)
BAYSIDE COUNCIL ARE VOTING WEDNESDAY (WED 22 NOV)
I'll be deeply pissed if everyone at the Free Palestine rallies doesn't turn up to the Invasion Day rally (which in Sydney is at Belmore Park from 10am). Liberation for all!
Today at the weekly protest for Palestine on Gadigal land, three protestors were detained without reason, violently removed and are currently held without charge. Please get down to Surry Hills police station to voice your opposition to their detention!
Omg I just found out the mum in question is Palestinian! What a fucking dog act by Albo! She is the creator of Palestinian restaurant Khamsa Eatery in St Peters, give them a follow on ig and if you're in Sydney, go eat there the food is delicious✌🏾
A couple of rad souls are camping out at Albo's Marrickville office overnight - please join them to support/take shifts and tell Albo to grow a spine and call for an immediate ceasefire! All eyes on Rafah!!!
Just yelled at an old white man at Central that he was a fucking coward like the IDF 😤 he called me a Hamas terrorist as he passed me walking through the station with a Palo flag and when I told him to say it to my fucking face he wouldn't even turn around to face me the grub.
Protest Albanese at the 2023 Lowy Lecture, Tuesday 19 December 5pm Town Hall Square. Bring your friends, noisemakers and defiance. Let's do this Sydney ✊🏾🍉
Do you ever wonder what a tutor/lecturer/mentor/leader/etc who said something that profoundly affected your life trajectory is doing now? Thinking about the tutor who said my paper was the best undergrad paper he'd read in his life and that I should go into academia, I hate him.
We got some new chants going at today's Gadigal to Gaza rally and the energy was off the chain... join us next week🧵
Intifada sha3beyeh
Intifada Yemeniye
Intifada Houthiye
Intifada Lebnaniye
Intifada Iraqiye
Intifada Arabiye
Attendees of the picket please be mindful of these guidelines to keep factionalism at bay. Have already had too many people throw a tantrum because they want to use it to recruit for their own organisations and causes.
What is going on at
@AusHumanRights
?? Platforming a known Zionist at their awards night in Dec, staff bullied by Zionist senior staff for simply mentioning Gaza, and now we know that one of their senior policy officers Kali was in the lawyer group chat taking down Antoinette.
Yes!!! And to all the other Islamic organisations and masjids - don't cross the picket line!!! This includes inviting ANY representative of ANY complicit institutions who have not taken a stand against genocide.
This was the last push from the cops before we were forced out. They had us surrounded from 3 sides during the sit-in (fourth side was a fence) and started picking people off the edges. Soon not many of us were left sitting. The cops then corralled us against the fence.
35 degrees today... We've spent half of spring and all of summer protesting this fucking genocide. Resistance until Palestine is reclaimed from the Zionist criminal entity that strangles it.
Day 14!!! Someone dropped off pizza and two beautiful Indonesian women dropped off fried chicken and veggie fritters. Come down to
#campforceasefire
today ✌🏾
My staunch little 5 year old. Asked the kids which of them wanted to come to the protest with me today because their dad is sick and I don't think I can manage both in the rain. O immediately said "me!"
Most of these cases were from workers at a meat processing plant. How about we don't give people shit for continuing to go to their typically low paid jobs with often poor working conditions to supply a country of meateaters with meat.
24 new cases in Aus today. The last time we had this many was the 19th April. So two weeks ago you guys started behaving like dickheads. I don't care if the wettest PM and dopiest CMO told you it was fine to get infected and kill people (+/- yourself). Fucking pull your heads in.
Welcome to 2024 from Bidjigal Country in Sydney, Australia. Seeing in the new year alongside people who have not lost hope, who are still fighting for Palestine, who will keep fighting, until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea 🇵🇸
I just had a 10 minute conversation with one of Tony Burke's staffers who said yes you're right, most of the world agrees with you, we have gotten thousands of emails and calls about this, it is awful what is happening in Gaza. Thank God for some humanity. Changes nothing though.
Know that individually we aren't happy. She said well did you not see that her and Anthony said they are going to call for a humanitarian pause? I said a pause for what?"
Already feeling angry about the papers that will be written about this genocide in the future by academics who are currently saying and doing fuck all. Just looking on and collecting ideas for their next research grant or course outline or guest lecture or book.
On a train to the city that's packed with primary and high school kids and I feel so emotional rn 😭😭😭 like I literally am trying to hold back tears what is wrong with me
Messages. I said is that your way of silencing us? She said no I'm telling you to put it in an email. I said what will you do with those emails? Will they go into spam, into a junk folder? We are calling because we want to speak with someone, we want to be heard, we want Penny to
Maybe I should spend my holidays looking for a new job, I'm so sick of being told we have to remain "neutral" when neutrality in this context means shutting up while tens of thousands of people are murdered.
Zero mention of Israel in this thread, let alone any condemnation of them. Disgusting attempt to make it sound like it was Hizbollah's strike. Mark Dreyfus is a known Zionist. Is that a criteria for being Australia's Foreign Minister?
4/ Australia has consistently called for the protection of civilian lives and warned of the risks of conflict spreading.
We call on Hizballah to cease its attacks on Israel.
We will continue to work with countries who have influence in the region to prevent further escalation.
