On the Theorists Andy Nolch and Tim Wilms discuss Israel-Palestine protests intensifying as Gaza continues to be bombed plus a lawsuit has been brought in the UK against covid vaccine creator AstraZeneca. Tim and Andy clash over the mainstream media reporting of the Israel-Gaza war. Andy believes the media is pushing pro-Israel propaganda and covering up the brutality of Israel’s bombing campaign. While Tim believes that that most of the media is pro-Palestine and questions how footage from television cameras of injured patients in Gaza hospitals can be broadcast right away almost like they were in place ready to roll. Israel has become more gay since it began its war to remove Hamas in Gaza. An IDF soldier proclaimed he had raised the first LGBT rainbow flag in Gaza. Israel’s Ministry of Defense extended equal recognition to same-sex couples for partners of soldiers who have died in service following the death of a gay IDF officer in battle shortly before his planned same-sex marriage. Andy supports Inner Melbourne Merri-bek Council flying the Palestinian flag outside its council building. Tim believes councils should stick to providing local government services and only fly the Australian and Victorian flag as too much political energy and activism is about conflict halfway across the world. AstraZeneca is being sued in the UK High Court of Justice by a man who suffered a brain injury and the family of a man who died after taking their covid vaccine. The AstraZeneca vaccine has now been withdrawn after specialists discovered a side effect called vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis was discovered during its rollout. The return of David Cameron to UK politics as Foreign Minister has seen the return of the rumour he inserted his penis and/or scrotum into a dead pig as part of an initiation ritual at Oxford’s Piers Gaveston Society called piggate.
