Nationalism. Tribes. In-groups and out-groups. Hierarchy. Authoritarianism. Fascism.
- ...we didn't start the fire...
- You forgot colonialism.
  
  Settler colonialism.
It's cool, the Australian Government will say how upset they are about this and go on both buying weapons from, and selling weapons to, Israel.
- Yep. Fuck Labor and fuck Albo. Fuck the rest of them too for good measure
- Not arguing, just want to be able to quote this confidently - can you link a source for this?
  
  I can find some info about Australian-made aviation parts going to other countries as per existing agreements, who use them in aircraft that are then supplied to Israel. Which is absolutely still shit, but I can't find anything about direct weapon sales to / from Israel
  
  Selling.
  
  Buying.
  
  The selling is difficult to say. We're probably not literally sending them missiles, but instead components intended to be used as part of weapons. But it's hard to know precisely, because the government is deliberately opaque in this area.

Your deity doesn't exist, lady. No god "gave" you anything.
Yo god, if you're real, could you send another great flood? I think we fucked up again.

It’s a special military operation alright.
