Police aren't all pro one thing or the other.

Sometimes their inaction is remarkable.

I understand that most people instinctively love peace and don't want trouble. This normally works out just fine, so I can understand that there might be a sort of "stunned mullet" response when a situation arises. If you are ready for it, it is easier to change tactics. So plan for it and be ready to switch modes. If those neo-Nazi turds stink out my train station, then the time has come to fight. It doesn't have to be violence, just stand up and scream at the top of your voice one centimetre from their balaclavas: "murderers, evil, scumbags. Stop them before they start killing babies. They are hate-mongers, Nazis, criminals. Police stop them, they are threatening everything! They want to kill us. They want to hurt us. I think they have guns. They are terrorists. It's a terrorist attack on this train. Everyone come together and stop them. Stop the Nazis, get them off. Keep them away. Guard the vulnerable! Nazis out! Nazis out!"

Could be very dangerous with that sort of people up front but that is what it is to be brave i guess. One thing I learned at school though, is that if you fight one on one with fists, they, their friends, will kick you in the head from behind. I have no doubt that these types carry knives too. Because that's how they think they are men. Or worse too (like guns). And probably iron bars too. Knowing that their skin colour protects them mostly from the police.

Clean water is running out in the Gaza Strip as its water plant and public water networks stopped working. Palestinians are now forced to use dirty water from wells, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases

And it spreads. (From times of Israel)

The Israel Defense Forces says two rockets were launched from Syria at northern Israel earlier, setting off sirens in the Golan Heights town of Avnei Eitan.

Few hours later

Syria’s defense ministry confirms strikes on the Aleppo Airport which have been attributed to Israel.

For the record Israel's colonial civilian kill ratio excluding historical killings and starting Saturday is easily two:one.

But as the Israeli government has said its just the beginning. Add in the untold deaths even by forcing Palestinians to drink unsafe water, and there's a multitude more. The point is that standing with Israel the government or country is not standing with the victims of the Hamas massacre and is not standing with the victims of the IDF massacres which are ongoing.

And our own Aussie MP, Richard Marles, cannot see anything untoward going on.

I am uncertain as to whether Marles needs an explainer, a reader, or truth serum.

When I tell people children are being slaughtered, and they want to know which children before moving into outrage mode or justification mode - that mentality, that conditional humanity, is exactly the problem.

The left has shown itself to be the right also.
I also am quite tired of Ukraine mixing sex blood and war. Photos of dead Russian soldiers with sex adds, slow motion footage of soldiers snd music snuff films. Sorry to mux up things but it seems the package I was told to swallow was from the start morally compromised.
And yet too the Russian support for genocidaires in Burma Sudan Libya Syria and Ukraine too is unacceptable.
