Events in Jabalia over the weekend have still not shocked the world into action; men, women and children rounded up shared with the world in footage taken by IDF soldiers. We are awakened to the knowledge Australia’s US bases are take off points for US planes heading to the Middle East and witness the protest in London that shut down the Tower Bridge. We are reminded of a time when our Prime Minister stood up for Palestine and our King didn’t stand up for Gough Whitlam, who passed away on this day ten years ago. Monday, a five-minute scroll.

What would you do if you lived under a system that treated your children like this?
@AdameMedia
Be honest. What would you do if you lived under a system that treated YOUR children like this?
Would you sit there and take it?
Or would you do something about it?

On this day in 2014, the Hon Gough Whitlam AC QC, Australia’s 21st Prime Minister, passed away at age 98

On this day in 2014, the Hon Gough Whitlam AC QC, Australia’s 21st Prime Minister, passed away at age 98. We remember him as one of Australia’s greatest reforming Prime Ministers, who put Australia on a path to a more equal, open and tolerant future.
Thank you, Gough. pic.twitter.com/AOrijKJUCB
