old school SECULAR Jewish punk and anti fascist from rural oz age 57 love music books my wife cat and two dogs hate nazi's, fascists and zionists [FREE PALESTINE] votes socialist belongs to Australian Jews for a Democratic Society LGBQTI positive [my daughter/son is transitioning and my son is gay] shout out to my Muslim brothers
Nice to see another old timer. I'm also Jewish that is anti-Zionist, but I don't practice. (I'm not an Athiest, but I find religion to be a load of bollox)
Hi, I was brought up zio but Sabraa/Chatila occurred on my 20th birthday. It was goodbye zionism since then. I now BDS at every opportunity. Fought against hasbara's online during the 2014 assault on Gaza [when al jazeera had comments]. They really didn't like postings of the names of Palestinian dead. Because of me howling down hasbara bullshit, the Independent doesn't allow comments on Robert Fisk's columns anymore either. I live in a colonised country so I support our 1st nation peeps as well. Anyway cheers.
Are you still on here? You are one of the few people who not only took the time to actually go out of your way to talk to me on line, you uploaded some very good, and historically important punk music. I tried going to your profile page as we were following each other. I wanted to wish you and your loved ones all the best for the upcoming new year. (It's still 2019 in the U.S. as I write this, but I know Australia is already in 2020) I hope that you are alright, and will continue to contribute to this forum. If you have closed your account, this post might be rather silly, if not pointless, but I enjoyed our conversations, and the music you uploaded. I hope everything is alright Once again all the best to you and your loved ones for the new year, and that includes all the lurkers who are reading this at the moment.
Definitely back for the moment. Hopefully the mod and I will sort out our differences. I'm alright, but a little stressed about the fire situation here. A town near us got razed by fire on New Years Eve. We are expecting extreme temperatures 40c+ and severe fire danger over the next few days. If the wind turns or a lightening strike hits there could be problems. Spent the day getting our escape kit ready in case we need to bail. If it does hit the fan we'll probably head for Melbourne where our Saughter lives. I may become incommunicado if that happens for a few days. And still our government denies climate change, fuckwits !!!
Yeah, can't believe Sydney went on with their fireworks display, even after many people expressed concern. 40+ C is NOT good. I'm not good at metric conversion, but even I know that's hotter than the average human body can handle. Well, do what you have to do, and do what you can. Again, stay safe.
State government has just declared a state of disaster. It looks like we may have to head north rather than south as the freeway might be blocked. It's not looking good.I'll have to check in the morning so I need to get some sleep. Catch you later.
Alright then. If I don't hear from you in the next day or three, I'll assume you're on the move. All the best.
