The apartheid state in Palestine is the root cause of the violence, of the suffering. That is the root cause.

There’s never been a Palestinian army. So even the even the term the Gaza war, even that term, which so many people use all the time. There is no Gaza war! There’s a genocide going on.

The state of Israel, from the moment it was established, did not stop engaging in war and violence in the region, be it against the Palestinian people or be it against the countries that neighbor Palestine. Constantly, constantly constantly. And as a strategy. And the strategy was we will be the scariest most brutal bully, gangster in this region. That's it. And that's what they've done. So why is it, how does it make sense on any level to continue to support and to continue to enhance the obstacle?

Now what had to be done during World War II with the concentration camps is they had to be liberated. They had to be liberated. The problem was not only that there was severe need for humanitarian aid as we know exists in Gaza for decades now, but the need was to dismantle the camps, liberate the people and rid the country, or rid the world I should say, of the regime that put them in place. And this is exactly what we need to do. And this exactly I believe how we need to discuss Palestine.

The phrase "Number One" in Star Trek has a rich and evolving history intertwined with both naval tradition and the franchise’s own storytelling innovation.
### Origins in Star Trek
- The term first appears in the unaired 1965 pilot episode "The Cage" as the only name for the character portrayed by Majel Barrett, who served as Captain Christopher Pike’s First Officer on the USS Enterprise. She was simply addressed as “Number One,” highlighting her position as the second-in-command but also lending a mysterious, almost mechanical distinction to her character[1][2][3].
- NBC resisted having a woman in such a prominent role, leading to her removal from the regular series. Much of her logical and emotionally restrained personality was then assigned to Spock in later episodes[1][4].
### Evolution and Significance
- The character of Number One was revived in modern Star Trek—notably in Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds—with the name Una Chin-Riley and much deeper development[5][4][2]. The nickname “Number One” remains a sign of exceptional competence and respect, reflecting both her role and unique talents.
- The phrase later became widespread throughout the franchise as a general nickname for a starship’s First Officer. This was cemented by Captain Picard’s routine use of “Number One” for Commander Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation and has been adopted or referenced for various First Officers, such as Saru in Discovery[2][6][7].
### Real-World and Non-Star Trek Usage
- The phrase does not originate in Star Trek, but is actually borrowed from the British Royal Navy, where “Number One” refers to the First Lieutenant—second-in-command aboard a ship and commonly called “Number One” as a form of address[3][7]. Star Trek adapted this naval tradition for its futuristic starships.
- The use of “Number One” outside of Star Trek is uncommon in popular culture but remains standard in naval and occasionally other military settings to mean the person next in command after the Captain[3][7].
### Changing Meanings
- In-universe, “Number One” can be both a sign of rank (First Officer/Executive Officer) and a personal nickname, especially for Una Chin-Riley. Star Trek novels and more recent series have explored it as both a shorthand for her outstanding qualities and as a callback to her mysterious, logic-driven persona[2][4].
- The usage of “Number One” as a routine address has become a mix of Star Trek tradition and narrative choice. Some captains (like Kirk or Janeway) prefer personal names, while the Picard/Riker “Number One” dynamic has become iconic within the franchise[7].
In summary: Star Trek popularized “Number One” as an affectionate, distinguished nickname for the First Officer, inspired by real naval tradition, starting with Majel Barrett’s iconic character and later broadening to represent Starfleet’s second-in-command. The phrase’s blending of real-world and science fiction meanings has helped it resonate far beyond its Star Trek beginnings[1][4][7].

Today likely saw the largest single protest rally in Australian history.
Under dark rain clouds, hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a huge demonstration opposing the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as well as the complicity of the Australian government in failing to oppose Israel's crimes against humanity.
The 'March for Humanity: Save Gaza' saw organisers' expectations smashed and the government's worst fears exceeded as a great ocean of people showed up, despite pouring rain, strong winds, and a week of front page negative stories carrying anti-protest messages from the Minns state government and NSW police. It was huge.
An ocean of people, diverse in age, background, gender, religion, and rain-mitigation techniques, yet united via common humanity with those suffering starvation, snipers and shells, displacement, destruction and deprivation in Gaza:
"In our thousands,
in our millions,
we are all
Palestinians!"
The protest had four demands:
- Let all aid into Gaza
- Immediate Israeli ceasefire and withdrawal from Gaza
- Sanction Israel now
- End Australia’s two way arms trade with Israel

Similar demands have animated near-weekly protests on unceded Gadigal land on over 80 previous Sundays, each of which has seen thousands or tens of thousands of people march through the city centre—all without serious incident or public 'chaos', all without tolerating or expressing antisemitism, and without ever losing any of the various cases the NSW government and/or NSW police have brought to the NSW Supreme Court in various attempts to thwart these gatherings. Each Sunday, a wide variety of interesting, passionate and insightful speakers have addressed the movement: Palestinian refugees and poets, Jewish academics and authors, Aboriginal elders and activists, student leaders and children, survivors of the 1948 Nakba, nurses, doctors, journalists, artists, lawyers, historians, teachers, faith leaders, union leaders, and even an occasional parliamentarian or two (some of the few in public office who have consistently called for adherence to international law).
Today was the biggest gathering so far. And yet one of the first to actually get substantial (or indeed any) media coverage: before, during and after.
#protest #auspol #NSWpol #ChrisMinns #AnthonyAlbanese #Gaza #StopTheGenocide #SydneyHarbourBridge #MarchForHumanity
Prior to today's march, the largest political demonstration in Australian history is generally considered to have been the (unsuccessful) Stop the War rally in Feb 2003 protesting the then Howard government's support for joining Bush and Blair in illegally invading Iraq, a cause which saw something like 200k people gather in Sydney on a sunny summer Saturday, along with many other massive rallies around the continent and with millions more people protesting worldwide.
I was at both events. From a purely subjective vibe, and with all the dangers associated with attempting to compare events 25 years apart, today felt bigger.
As for official estimates, NSW Police claimed (while the march was still ongoing) the crowd was 'at least 100,000 people'. Organisers later concluded, after reviewing aerial footage, that there were likely between 200,000—300,000 participants.
Whatever the precise number, NSW Police confirmed what we could almost see from somewhere in the middle: that as the front of the march was arriving at Milsons Point station (the planned end point), there were still thousands of people yet to get past Wynyard station (south of the official start point), a distance of almost 3km, along a route that most of the way is an eight lane bridge—all filled with people.

At least 100,000 pro-#Palestine marchers, including Julian Assange, the former foreign minister Bob Carr and the government MP Ed Husic, have marched across Sydney Harbour Bridge in the rain to protest against #Israel’s conduct in #Gaza and to speak out about the children starving there.The world-famous landmark was closed to traffic at 11.30am on Sunday, with protesters gathering in Lang Park in the city centre before enduring heavy rain as they walked across the bridge.
The march began at 1pm, with demonstrators eventually stretching the entire length of the 1.2km Harbour Bridge.

Juste un petit rappel de ce que je publiais en février 2024 et qui devrait contribuer à aiguiser nos consciences.
Pour comprendre qui dirige nos gouvernements et pourquoi ces tensions extrêmes avec la #Russie, voici ce que Nathaniel Rothschild a écrit au gouvernement britannique :
“L’Héritier de la famille Rothschild, Nathaniel #Rothschild, aujourd’hui, a écrit aux membres du gouvernement britannique pour dire que Vladimir #Poutine est "l’homme le plus dangereux depuis la défaite d’Hitler, suivi de près par Xi Jinping" et a expliqué que :– “L’ #Ukraine est une pièce essentielle que nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre de perdre dans l’échiquier géopolitique.
"L’héritier de la fortune Rothschild a fait valoir que “la Russie doit être excisée du système bancaire et économique international.
“Nous devons mettre la Russie à genoux par tous les moyens possibles, pour envoyer un signal fort aux Chinois et pour protéger notre système mondial de normes et valeurs libérales”.
– Il ne faut pas se faire d’illusions : si nous laissons Vladimir Poutine s’emparer de l’Ukraine, cela enverra le signal à nos ennemis, l’Iran, la Chine et la Corée du Nord notamment, que nous ne ferons rien face à un assaut de force.
– En effet, notre voie actuelle, celle de l’action militaire, signifie que notre ordre mondial est mort sur ses pieds. Je vous exhorte à déployer plus de force contre la Russie et ses mandataires, à intensifier la “guerre de l’information” pour connecter l’opinion, en particulier en ligne, et à envoyer des armes à nos amis en Ukraine.
Sans l’Ukraine, l’Ordre mondial est mort.”
