  1. Well, I'm a 57 year old white Australian and I'm 100% pro-Palestine and anti Israeli zionism; and I have these views in full knowledge of the violent colonialist history of Australia. I've also accepted the inconvenient truth of climate change for over 37 years. Most of the people I went to university with have the same views - so we have been here all along, in a minority.

  2.  @danielharrington5690  If they were "committing crimes" they would be charged with crimes in a proper court, have access to a defence lawyer, and go through a proper trial. But that isn't happening at all. They are actually hostages.😢

  3. Like all narcissists she easily convinces herself that everything she says (even if she just thought it up on the spot) is a bona fide fact, and true without a doubt. they are all like that, and because of it, they easily convince others that it must be true, too.

  4. The dehumanisation of muslims in general, since 9/11 in particular, has been very successful.

  5. The only one who mentioned the genocide in Gaza was Bernie Sanders, and the crowd cheered loudest for that comment. I hope the leadership listened.

  6. There is Trillions of Dollars of GAS resources in the Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza, and in its Levant Basin territory. That was under Palestinian territorial control until the Blockade of Gaza began, and Palestine and British Gas had a deal to develop it, which would have developed the Palestinian economy and country. But then, (not so) mysteriously, Israel declared those waters under their control (with USA's support), and (not so mysteriously) British Gas began to bypass Palestinians in negotiations (for developing that enormous gas reserve... There is also at least a billion barrels (maybe billions) of OIL under the Golan Heights (in the Levant), on the northern border. The Golan Heights is regarded by the international community as Syrian territory; only Israel (and the USA, not so mysteriously) say it is Israeli territory. Israel wants to develop that oil, but Syria wants to stop them. Not so mysterious, Israel (with US munitions) is bombing Syria, including its airports in Damascus. FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL Majority Report! Bring it into the open! This is a territory grab to make it easier for the US, Britain and Israel to develop those oil and gas resources, and ROB the poverty-stricken Palestinians of any future.

  7.  @billyconnelly3568  I think it's a bit of both. Colonialists always dehumanise their victims on the basis of race and culture.

  8. Exactly! Dumbfounding!

  9. I don't buy it. They have access to YouTube, like me. YouTube is where I get all the proper journalism that "the news" on TV leaves out.

  10.  @vanessacallahan3515  Well, some people aren't very apt students, or their study materials are deficient, or even outright propaganda. One should be careful what one "studies."

  11. Exactly! Meanwhile, the Israelis have 97% of the land yet decide to build IDF headquarters in the middle of a heavily populated suburb of Tel Aviv.

  14. Look girls. Here in Australia I was a Labor voter all my life, but then I had to face that they were not living up to their mandate. I then had to begin voting for a party (the Greens) which I knew wasn't going to win, with the intent that they would grow in power and influence the decisions and policies of the Labor Party. They have grown in power quite a lot since then, because I wasn't the only one who was sick of things.

  15. Jeet Heer is too dominant in conversation. He speaks over people too forcefully, and doesn't allow them a word in edgeways.

  16. It's simple. They are copying the Nazi regime.

  19. SO true.😞

  20. 😢You put it so clearly. I am always arguing with those morons who say the CO2 will increase food crops. I try telling them that when CO2 was high in Earth's history the plants didn't even have flat leaves, and they didn't produce fruits, but they adamantly refuse to learn anything.

  21. What is truly absurd is implying that habitat preservation is more crucial than ceasing fossil fuels and pulling CO2 from the atmosphere! That would save by far the most habitat.

  22. You said it! I faced the reality of climate change while watching a documentary in 1987. It's been a long slow landslide of horror for me since then. The arguments I've had at the TV and with other people, futilely endeavouring to get them to face glaring facts...

  23.  @gnubbiersh647  There are many kinds of green batteries that don't use cobalt or other rare minerals, and solar, wind battery arrays are by FAR the cheapest and most reliable form of energy these days. You are SO out of date.

  24.  @Sloimer  Everyone with empathy will understand what I mean. But explaining it to you would fail even if I wasted hours of my life on you. So I think I'll pass on that.

  34.  @captainmajed2078  Exactly.

  35. Is this horror ever going to end? The US (and others) ought to be so ashamed of themselves. Colonialist genocide and ethnic cleansing and apartheid happening baldly, boldly, right before our eyes? It's stupefying, shocking, depressing, horrifying.
    2
  36. Nearly 50% 0f world Jewry (47%) ARE Israelis; so at least half of the world's Jews ARE in support of the ethnic cleansing (and failing that, genoc.ide) of the Palestinian people of Palestine.
    2
  37.  @SubcultureSA  I'm sorry to hear that. As I said, all my friends I've ever had have the same views about it as I do. There are a lot of us, even though we may be the minority. Thanks for standing up for Palestinians. The crimes committed against them since the 1930's at least, are diabolically inhumane.

  38.  @randomthings1293  Unless we find a way to successfully pull CO2 out of the atmosphere and sequester it safely and permanently, that is.
    2
  39. I don't see why taking action on a solution requires stopping dialogue about the problem. Calculations have been done (by scientists led by Professor Tom Crowther of Swiss University ETH Zurich) that show that by replanting trees on all the land that is not currently used for agriculture or urban living space, yet planting some trees on grazing land, around one third of the excess CO2 in the atmosphere could be sequestered within 50-100 years. That is the cheapest and most effective solution science and humanity has come up with, actually. Yet we would still have to stop pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere, which requires us to stop using fossil fuels, ASAP. @norah3220

  40. He's an incel in a Saville Row suit, posing as an intellectual. Observe how his impressive professorial logic argues for a system in which the Laws protecting women from rape are secondary to the insult to mens chattel - like in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India, where, if an unsophisticated woman, "protected" all her life by her male relatives, 'allows' herself to be raped, bringing shame upon the men (the people that matter, apparently). In such cases, her male relatives will more often than not kill HER in order to protect their OWN honour in male society. Jordan Peterson doesn't present cogent arguments so much as do performance art in which he plays out his fantasies of being a prominent intellectual. It's so easy to pick his "arguments" apart it's funny.

  41. The problem is, you've got Jill Biden deciding for him, and she hasn't a clue about anything.

  48. Sam Seder, incoherently rambling and unable to access his vocabulary again, while Emma hangs meekly in the background. BORING. Give me fiery Cenk, who can passionately stream words at 100 miles an hour, and opinionated, well-researched Ana, who never has any trouble getting a word in and speaking her mind even when Cenk is in full flight. I often click, for the clickbait titles here, but I rarely make it to the end because it's too damn dull.

  50.  @smokedbeefandcheese4144  The Israelis don't even bother to make a semblance of that. Why? Because they think they are superior to all peoples of the world and don't care at all how the world perceives them. International law? Who is the "international community" to tell US what to do? is their attitude.

  51.  @jimbob3030  Of course our bodies are mortal, that is clear, the rest is not. You are speaking to someone who died in Kathmandu, and came back to life.

  54.  @gnubbiersh647  According to the International Energy Agency, Africa has 60% of the world's best solar resources, and as it is the cheapest and quickest to install, it has the most potential to raise the economic quality of life of African people. I'm telling you this because you are spreading misinformation about green energy being "more expensive." That is absolutely false, and outdated.

  58. Imagine what it will be like when masses of climate refugees start desperately trying to enter liveable countries.

  59. It's racism. Why is the subject repeatedly dragged away from thousands of brown children being buried alive to a suspiciously undisclosed (and so far, curiously, not even heard about) number of Israeli women being raped? This is a deliberate tactic to whip up outrage and justify the third stage of Israel's genocide agenda. So we are all to be "progressive," be aghast at these "savage" rapists and stop questioning why Israel is killing an entire generation of children, and women of childbearing age.

  60. I'll never vote for a genocide enabler!

  61.  @WWeiss-nv5vz  "Israel" invaded Palestine, not the other way around. Before invading Palestine they considered South America and parts of Africa as possible "homelands."

  62.  @WWeiss-nv5vz  And they were a a couple of hill tribes who faded into obscurity after about 200 years. Gaza was there before them, as a major trading port between Egypt and the Mediterranean. YOU need to study history better, and stop ignoring the parts you don't like.

  63. I'm very glad his company is transforming the green energy landscape, though. Either you accept climate change is the most pressing and dangerous existential threat to life on this planet, or you don't. And if you do, you have to accept that this man is doing something very important about it. For all his admittedly awful faults, he is doing a hell of a lot to save the world from the effects of fossil fuels. I know I'll be piled on for saying this. But climate change is the worst thing we are facing. It could annihilate us all.

  76. Yes, but that 100 -150 years "too late" for genocide and ethnic cleansing means a hell of a lot! We can't act as if all the humanitarian ground that's been gained is fake, and condone another "settler" colonisation of an indigenous population!

  78.  @IanChristopherson-t9v  Well, seeing as nearly all the world's people place climate change near the top of the list of urgent problems we need to address, socialism would give us all a better chance to survive. We would't have corrupt fossil fuel owning politicians like Joe Manchin in the US, and Matt Canovan of Queensland sabotaging attempts to deal with climate change in the face of what the population wants!

  79.  @vanessacallahan3515  I think you should watch an interview on the YouTube channel of renowned journalist Owen Jones, "Sanctions on Israel Are The Only Hope": Israel's Most Distinguished Journalist Gideon Levy. That might educate you.

  87. You need to analyse Melania's basilisk glare of poison - it made me wonder how much of the anti-immigrant, and anti-trans (in particular), stuff comes from her. Also, Ivanka was very uncomfortable and embarrassed-looking. I think public appearances count a lot to her. It was amusing watching her squirm.

  91. Of course the solutions already exist, all that is needed is for the world's governments to stop cynically subsidising fossil fuels to the tune of $US 1 TRILLION annually (2022 figures), and use that stupendous amount of money to fund the rapid transition to renewable energy generation, storage and grids, rather than for propping up the profits of the insatiably greedy fossil fuel billionaires who are giving them donations, and KILLING US. Wake up. @sedonars1

I'd never heard of Middle East Eye, Kernow Damo, Owen Jones and many others, or watched Al Jazeera before this, but I quickly realised the truth was being kept from me by my usual channels, and went looking for it. They could go hunting for the truth, too.

  101. He calls genocide by the Israelis "engaging in activities"! What a heartless ghoul. How about how he claimed a ceasefire will come by Monday as he was scoffing ice cream, one day after a two-month-old baby died of dehydration and starvation in Gaza! He is no longer President Bide, he is Genocide Joe, the Zionist Nazi.
