Today is #ANZACDAY

A day we recognise the people who sacrificed their lives so that we can

-support Isreal’s illegal occupation and ongoing genocide
-ignore the fact that too many women are dying at the hands of men.
-continue extracting fossil fuels, putting at risk the future of the entire world
-continue building a military industrial complex so we can fight more unnecessary wars.

On Anzac Day you’ll hear stories of courage and mateship. It’s a way to rationalise war

Our leaders weave grand, often poetic, narratives around death on the battlefield – and then tragically we let it happen again
