Israel screwed their own pooch with their response. We have held Israel in a SACRED spot for a very long time and excused so so many atrocious things they have done. But now the world understands that Israel is capable of GENOCIDE and not just capable but WANTS TO COMMIT GENOCIDE.

Which for me makes them no better than Hamas.

So this new Hamas/Israel is two terrorist fighting each other and killing all kinds of innocents in the name of some bloody ugly God that insists on washing the ground with dead bodies sacrifices.

How I personally feel about Israel means nothing. But my opinion changed when the people that had genocide committed on them, committed genocide on their enemies.

Tit for tat....I no longer feel Israel is innocent.

WHO ready to bring aid into Gaza, but 20 trucks ‘a drop in the ocean of need’
The delivery of aid is set to be the first after Israel said it would impose a "total blockade" on the narrow Gaza Strip that is home to 2.3 million people.

If killing, displacing or starving civilians after a terrorist attack was an effective security strategy, Israel would be the safest place on earth. The world needs to demand a new approach, and provide whatever assistance is needed to ensure it succeeds, instead of funding and endorsing an endless cycle that has never worked, and will never work. #politics #humanrights #internationallaw

Home security reminder.
A lot of people are arranging to go away for Christmas which makes their homes easy pickings for burglars. For security reasons I strongly recommend that you leave one of your children behind to construct a series of elaborate booby traps and defend your property.

I just mistyped GitHub as GitHug, and... I feel like we all need that.

We thought Google hit rock bottom with #privacy.

Its new beta feature on Google Files for #Android called “Smart Search" is the trap door.

This creepy new feature on by default & scans every file on your phone. Why is this bad? Because it could potentially ruin your life. (1/3)

@pete @unnameduser @zleap This is interesting although my own view is the interpretation of 21 ‘full democracies’ (covering just 6.4% of the global population) is a generous interpretation - https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-the-state-of-global-democracy-2022/

Hiya!

In late September, I was voted in as President of the Science Journalists Association of Australia.

I'm taking over from the masterful, indefatigable, legendary, delightful Founding President Bianca Nogrady.

Bianca -- and all the founders and committee members over the years -- have done such an incredible job at building a community of science journalists since kicking this all off in 2019. I'm delighted she tapped me to carry the fire for SJAA through its next phase.

I have some big goals. I want to see science journalism in this country thrive by giving opportunities to young writers, creating pathways for people to make this amazing career their full-time job, helping improve the quality of an already outstanding field in this specialist beat in Oz and just building on that sense of community.

If you're a science journalist in Australia and you want to join up, you can sign up as a member at https://sjaa.org.au/

During an interview I saw today, Ex-Israeli PM Naftali Bennett, when asked about what will happen to innocent people on life support or babies in incubators because Israel cut the power to Gaza, replied that he didn't care because Palestinians are "Nazis."

I shit you not.

What I'd like to ask Mr. Bennett is if he's looked in a mirror lately

If Never Again means we won't stand idle while a genocide is happening, then never again means free Palestine.

If Never Again means we won't tolerate people being put in concentration camps on account of their ethnicity, them never again means free Palestine, as Gaza is "a mass open air prison", a mass concentration camp.

If Never Again means we won't stand by while a military power butchers a people without a State and without an army, then never again means free Palestine.
