1(7) The ‘war on terror’ has always been about extending western empire & white supremacy. Spare us the 'this is an aberration/not us/bad apple' script. This was inevitable, the logical result of Muslims having been constructed as the global enemy in the 'war on terror'.
2(7). Soldiers fighting the WOT have witnessed/participated in the decimation of Iraq/Afghanistan, proxy wars in Yemen, Syria and Libya, drone warfare against Afghans, Pakistanis...
3(7). massacres of Palestinians, supported by our governments. Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Australia’s complicity in torture by rendition, the barbaric detention & demonisation of refugees fleeing countries destroyed by wars these soldiers participate in...
4(7). Australian military exports to states accused of war crimes in Yemen (i.e. Saudi Arabia, UAE) and providing military cooperation & training to the Myanmar military, accused of ethnic cleansing of Rohingya. Aberration???
5(7). White Australia is complicit in the murder of Muslims globally in the name of the war on terror because it has always willfully disregarded, if not justified, violence against its Indigenous population domestically.
6(7). White supremacists at home, or those serving in the military in illegal wars, see that wilful disregard as a permission slip for dealing with the ‘enemy within’.
7(7). Anybody half conscious since 2001 will have witnessed the political & media dehumanisation of Afghans as enemies, terrorists, disposable. Where's the surprise in all this? THIS is who White Australia is. Not an aberration, but war crimes two decades in the training.
