Make no mistake about where the moral authority stands here. This isn’t something we need to be on the defense about. It’s something we need to be on the attack about. Reading by Tim Foley.

You always see Israel apologists saying "If Hamas lays down its arms there'll be no more war, if Israel lays down its arms there'll be no more Israel." But really the exact opposite is true. If the Israelis lay down their arms, a genocide ends. If Hamas lays down their arms, Israel's planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza happens quickly and without resistance. Reading by Tim Foley.

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN human rights experts, Israeli human rights groups like B'Tselem, and the overwhelming majority of genocide scholars all agree it's a genocide. The debate is over. The hasbarists lost. Reading by Tim Foley.

This is just what happens when bad people in your life reveal an ugly truth about themselves. If you learn that someone in your life is cool with their government supporting a genocide, you can just sort of let your feelings and natural inclinations lead the way on that. Reading by Tim Foley.

To be racist is to admit that you are a dull, vapid person. It's an admission that you are so intellectually, emotionally and spiritually shallow that you can only enjoy and connect with other human beings in the most superficial of ways. There is no depth to you. There has been no growth in you. You are stunted. You have been wasting your time on this planet instead of maturing and expanding your connectedness with the gift of human life. Reading by Tim Foley.

As if we didn't have enough ugliness in the world right now, Trump has deployed warships near Venezuela's coast, prompting Caracas to ready drone and naval patrols for conflict. Reading by Tim Foley.

Saying "I support a two-state solution" does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government. Reading by Tim Foley.

We don't need to rescue western civilization from outside forces, we need to rescue ourselves from western civilization. Reading by Tim Foley.

Israelis who say "the Arabs hate us because of our religion" are as self-evidently moronic as the Americans who said "they hate us for our freedom". In both cases the answer is no, dipshit, they hate you because of the horrific things to do to them. Reading by Tim Foley.

4. In what way would it benefit Iran to orchestrate antisemitic attacks in Australia? 5. In what way would it benefit Iran to "undermine social cohesion and sow discord" in Australia? 6. Please explain how orchestrating antisemitic attacks in Australia would advance Iranian interests more than the interests of some other state, like, say, just for example, Israel?
