  1. "West Bank home described as ‘ideal for outdoor gatherings’ is among 41 listed rentals in illegal Israeli settlements"

    "A new report by Ekō, a US-based advocacy group focused on corporate accountability, lists 41 Booking . com listings in 14 illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank in two main clusters, along the Jordan valley including the Dead Sea, and in the settlement ring that has been built around East Jerusalem, including two inside Jerusalem’s old city, on territory captured by Israel in 1967 and annexed in 1980.

    The settlements involve the transfer of a civilian population into occupied territory, which is a violation of the fourth Geneva convention, and the Rome statute (the founding document of the international criminal court) which deems such colonisation a war crime."

    And these are the people #Labor happily invite over to be wined & dined and given all-access passes to ASIO while rightful protestors are thrown to the ground and have their spines broken.. #IsraelIsATerroristState #LaborIsATerroristParty

  2. “His Justice Department is willingly making themselves complicit in what is really just a straight flat out theft of taxpayer money, of your money, my money, our money. He is just dipping into taxpayer money and taking it for himself,”

    I don't know how else to make sure people know about this stuff. Tell everyone.

  13. A quotation from Franklin

    Why then should I give my Readers bad Lines of my own, when good Ones of other People’s are so plenty? ‘Tis methinks a poor Excuse for the bad Entertainment of Guests, that the Food we set before them, tho’ coarse and ordinary, is of one’s own Raising, off one’s own Plantation, &c. when there is Plenty of what is ten times better, to be had in the Market. — On the contrary, I assure ye, my Friends, that I have procur’d the best I could for ye, and much Good may’t do ye.

    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
    Poor Richard (1747 ed.)

  17. A quotation from Thomas More

    Well, those are my objections on moral grounds. From a practical point of view, surely it’s obvious that to punish thieves and murderers in precisely the same way is not only absurd but also highly dangerous for the public.
       If a thief knows that a conviction for murder will get him into no more trouble than a conviction for theft, he’s naturally impelled to kill the person that he’d otherwise merely have robbed. It’s no worse for him if he’s caught, and it gives him a better chance of not being caught, and of concealing the crime altogether by eliminating the only witness.
       So in our efforts to terrorize thieves we’re actually encouraging them to murder innocent people.
     
       [Non licere putem. Quam uero sit absurdum, atque etiam perniciosum reipublicae furem, atque homicidam ex aequo puniri, nemo est, opinor, qui nesciat.
       Nempe quum latro conspiciat non minus imminere discriminis duntaxat furti damnato, quam si praeterea conuincatur homicidij, hac una cogitatione impellitur in caedem eius, quem alioqui fuerat tantum spoliaturus. quippe praeterquam quod deprehenso nihil sit plus periculi, est etiam in caede securitas maior, & maior caelandi spes sublato facinoris indice.
       Itaque dum fures nimis atrociter studemus perterrefacere, in bonorum incitamus perniciem.]

    Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
    Utopia, Book 1, ch. 1 “Discourses of Raphael Hythloday” (1518 ed.) [tr. Turner (1965 ed.)]
