    Well maybe the government should stop being so objectionable, and instead represent the people. You know, the thing they’re employed to do.

    Alternative headline: Police force known to be full of racists and rapists struggle to recruit people who aren’t, leading to an inability to do their job. Politicians who ignored these things for years blame public.

    At this stage why not just formally cede control of our foreign policy to Netanyahu rather than come up with endless hand wringing, pearl clutching authoritarian bullshit to justify ignoring what people are demanding over Gaza.

    The pretence is so tedious.

    Good. The weaker the police, the more power the people have. Keep pushing, and never forget - they don’t work for, and aren’t there to protect you, but those in power and their capital.

    Putin’s psyops crew is working both sides of the isle folks - discontent is the goal. Yes there is legitimate outrage however Putin is masterfully directing the violence for his own gain. The world is just too slow to react but a cease fire and real, meaningful resolutions are now emerging and there is a strong proposal for a Palestine state.
