Reciprocity failed, leading to a block justified by personal weakness. This act feels like dehumanisation. When dignity is refused, speculation about the motive is a necessary part of self-protection.

The elephant in the #UN room: the recognition of #Israel as the "land without a people for a people wiithout a land" implicitly meant the #dehumanisation of the #Palestinians. Safeguarding the continuation of #colonialism beyond #European borders lead to the #nakba, the #occupation, the #genocide in #Gaza and on the West bank. Stopping the horror is a huge u-turn to make from the post war colonial stance and the "no humans involved" rhetoric. That duality is still #racist #complicity. STOP NOW.

NT attorney general criticised after confirming family link to hit-and-run driver

"The Northern Territory’s attorney general, Marie-Clare Boothby, has faced criticism after confirming she is related to a man who was spared prison last week over a hit-and-run car crash that killed an Aboriginal man."

"Marie-Clare Boothby, an architect of Country Liberal party’s hardline crime policies promising ‘real consequences’ for offenders, confirmed 24-year-old Jack Danby was her sister’s son-in-law."

"Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory are 15 times more likely to be killed by a car than pedestrians elsewhere."

NT DPP considering appeal of 'callous' fatal hit-run driver's home detention

"The NT has the nation's highest rate of pedestrian deaths, with the majority of victims being Indigenous people, and data shows one in four drivers do not stop to help...Incidents like this are a stark reminder of the systemic challenges our communities continue to face — ongoing racism, inequity and a justice system that too often fails to hold offenders fully accountable."

It all began with "a land without a people" never meaning uninhabited land, just meaning Palestinians aren't people. The rhetoric used by Zionists hasn't changed, its just being expressed more openly. It all began in 1948, not in 2023.

Are 'ordinary mums and dads' making 'bad apples' ?
Caught up in tight-knit webs of hate

“There was a range of grievances on display about perceived immigration rates on Sunday, but it was clear for many that the return to an imagined white Australia was a central theme...It’s not that white supremacy, which was present clearly yesterday, is something that the neo-Nazis in some evil, secretive fashion introduced into the political mainstream. It is something that has always been present in parts of the mainstream." >>
