There’s a reason why every peace-loving Victorian should take offence to the events that took place this evening in Melbourne’s celebrated suburb of Caulfield.George’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
Reporting on the Genocide Olympics and, in reverse order, congratulations to Australia on winning the bronze medal. After a photo finish Great Britain takes the silver medal and Joe Biden will receive the gold on behalf of the USA.
Exactly. The timing of this ‘award’ absolutely beggars belief when Gaza and its population are being systematically raised to the ground (and echoed for ‘good measure’ in Lebanon).
Unconscionable on many levels. I read in various Substack posts today about Israel testing new thermobaric weapons that melt concrete and vaporise human bodies leaving no trace - no evidence of a child, a mother, a father, a brother etc. So there’s no body to be counted…..Lab testing in Northern Gaza. And also copying the Nazi’s in forehead branding Palestinian prisoners. All funded by the US…….
I swing between total despair and absolute rage and fury …… yesterday was All Souls Day. How can I possibly say may they rest in peace……
When they gave the Nobel Peace prize to Barack Obama, it was a wake up call (at least for myself) on just how deep many institutions had been infiltrated with the agenda of powerful interests. Here in the States, academia has been suffering a similar kind of corruption of values: corrosive values being imposed on society and ordinary people because of socioeconomic power and influence (for the most part) held by an increasingly relatively few individuals, who make the rules, and disseminate the propaganda - that in general, serve their own narrow interests, instead of the interests of humanity.
''Where does their apparently unlimited power come from?
They control the western world’s finances and monetary system, ever since the foundation of the US Federal Reserve Act in 1913, also the work of a group of US-Zionist bankers and financiers. Therefore, they can do with the west – or think they can do – whatever they want. - Peter Koenig''
''Yet, Israel continues to justify its actions under the guise of fighting terrorism. This is not a campaign against Hamas alone; it is collective punishment of an entire population, a violation of international law, and it’s a genocide. The scale of the destruction and loss of life in Gaza is so immense that no rational person can argue this is simply about security or defence.''
There's more to this genocide than appears on the surface.
There are other agenda's in play one of them aims to gain control over all the oil and gas fields in the region.
I liked Dan Andrews. The way he stood up to the media/LNP during covid was great. But after seeing this image, before even reading the article, any vestige of respect is GONE.
I don't see anything wrong with this, any more than giving a bronze swastika to an Australian in the midst of the Holocaust in 1942 for his support for Nazi Germany would have been.

‘razed’ not ‘raised’
PS - Shame on Andrews

How much more disgusting must things get before a huge change takes place in the West.
Ugly/nasty pandering.
Given Israeli control of the US, Australian and British governments, it has become embarrassing to be a western citizen.

What do Victorians propose to do about it?
Good question. With apathy comes defeat!

Fucking genocide apologists, fuck them!
Yep fuck them!!
Such awards have debased themselves. We saw this decades ago, when warmonger Henry Kissinger (jointly) received the Nobel Peace Prize. Disgusting!
The great Tom Lehrer gave up musical satirire when Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize and "satire died".

It's startling how these politicians don't stop and think about how the public will perceive this as support for genocide.

Australia-born Mark Regev has been close to Netanyahu for years and was Israeli Ambassador to the UK.

Not a medal, but the proverbial albatross.
