‘‘It is utmost hypocrisy to criticise our long history of genocide, frontier wars, racist demonisation and ongoing systemic oppression on our sacred Indigenous lands, while staying silent on the violent war against Palestinians.

What's worst than seeing the horrors and injustices unfold live on our screens, is being confronted with the parallels: that is our so-called-self-proclaimed colonial leaders standing proudly along side the oppressors.

Throw ourselves into the fight for justice or cheer on capitalism's latest genocide - there's no in between.”
