Anyway, I reinstate my point that no 18+ settler in israel is innocent. They have all picked up guns and fired them at innocent Palestinians. To look at the apartheid and constant attempted genocide that israel has been committing against Palestine and yet have the fucking audacity to argue a bullshit “two innocent” sides narrative is a joke. israel since the beginning of its colony like establishment in 1948 has always been a terrorist state.* Backed by two other major colonial powers who still continue to oppress the people they’ve colonized to this day. Who backed the South African apartheid and were not in favor of pressuring the SA government to stop the apartheid. The colony state sentenced to be merely an influential Western placement in the Middle East has never, and never will be, an innocent bystander in matters of oppression, apartheid, or ethnic cleansing.

In the same breath I would support Native Americans attempting to do the same thing in the US. I would support Natives of Canada doing the same thing. I would support Natives of Australia, Natives of New Zealand, Puerto Rico, the Polynesian islands, and every other occupied people should they decide to rise up and take back what is rightfully theirs. **You and I in our privileged world should not have the fucking audacity to police people’s resistance & liberation**. Especially when some of us have had nothing to say when they were facing the brutalities of occupation.

Keep you two sides narrative to yourselves. It’s a liberation. Down with modern colonizers. Down with modern colonies.

For the notes:

*A post listing some of the crimes israel has committed against Palestinians. I will not trouble myself with finding sources for this very, very long list. Eye.on.palestine // paliroots // letstalkpalestine all have great videos, pictures, and broken down explanations of these crimes. Can be found on instagram or twitter. A majority of these crimes can also be looked up, but heed falling into traps of western/israeli (is there really a difference?) propaganda.

**Yes fucking obviously rape and child murder are bad and harming actual innocent civilians is bad do not try that stupid card here. You know exactly what I’m referring to when I say policing revolution and any attempt to misunderstand that is a deflection.

***And yes fucking obviously anyone using this genuine tragedy as a prop for nazism/antisemitism needs to die immediately like no fucking duh bozo.

Wednesday 1st May 2024

We are fast closing in now to the end of our trip with the flight home scheduled for Friday arriving home on Saturday. So today is the penultimate day on the train. Overnight we slipped secretly into Beibridge, a frontier town minutes away from the border with South Africa. A more scruffy station would be hard to find. The immigration man was tidied away in an office behind piles of cardboard boxes and files full of long undiscovered, lost documents. His occupation spelled out on a handwritten sign hanging skewed from the platform ceiling. Another lopsided sign encouraged 3rd and 4th class passengers to use a rather dubious waiting room. In preparation for the next leg of our journey, the two Rovos diesel tractor units would need to be disconnected and replaced by a single South African unit piloted by a South African driver. We were eating our breakfast of Eggs Benedict as the train moved slowly out and we were warned that we would have something less than ten minutes before we would cross the Limpopo River and leave Zimbabwe behind us. The Limpopo of course made famous by Rudyard Kipling's Just So story, Elephant's Child. It was good to see, but an unreliable straw poll might suggest that all had expected the river to be just a little wider!!

Our train has 20 carriages in all, eleven of them being the sleeper side of the business, then two dining carriages with two kitchen carriages, four lounges, one carriage for staff accommodation. In total there are 53 fee paying guests on board. In all the train is likely to be about 500 meters in length; probably half the length of the train that carried us across Australia.

Lunch was served at one. It seemed odd that we had had no excursions today. Instead we sat in the lounge, or in the sunny but hot observation platform at the very back of the train. Passing through stations or across road junctions small children would appear from nowhere and run behind the train squealing excitedly. The heat would beat down mercilessly and force us eventually to move into the cool of the air-conditioned carriage. Conversation flows and you talk to people of all walks of life and nationality. The South African is worried about the outcome of the forthcoming May elections. In particular, nationalisation, poor management and yet more restrictions on their way of life. Many talk of leaving the country if all goes badly, including the Americans. We have met many nice and interesting people on the train. Especially Linda and Pam; sister's but one from the UK and the other from Canada. A pair of farmers from UK, Julie and Andrew who want to retire but a farm is a huge responsibility and difficult to hand on, let alone sell.

The evening meal had a real end of term feel to it. The fillet steak was so tender it virtually walked into our mouths. The wines flowed superceded by liqueurs and to finish the perfect evening we retreated to the observation car for cocktails. The ladies in their finery and the gents making the most of a tie and collar. I think all 53 guests on board had most likely had conversations with eachother. I'm not sure if our Christmas card list has increased much in size but friendship's have certainly been made.

Tomorrow after breakfast we all go our separate ways. The Rovos train gets washed down and prepared for it's next journey. We go to Pretoria for the night and then forwarded to Johannesburg for our flight home on Friday.

Then Kolokolo Bird said, with a mournful cry, 'Go to the banks of the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees, and find out.' Rudyard Kipling

[tarafitzgerald]

Name: Tara Vivianne Fitzgerald Nicknames: / Gender/Pronouns: Cis-female, Her/Hers Age: 35 Birthday: September 3rd, 1987 Hometown: London, UK Neighborhood: Soho Occupation: MI5 detective Gang affiliation: The Jabberwocks - the high priestess Sexuality: Heterosexual Languages spoken: English, German, Italian Positive traits: ambitious, charismatic, loyal, fearless Negative traits: impatient, stubborn, arrogant

The streets of London were her playground.. well, they had been up until she was six years old. It was a couple of days after Tara's birthday her family had to move from the posh London's Belgravia.. first to Berlin, then to New York. See, Tara's father John James Fitzgerald was working for the United Nations and it was due to his career Tara had been all around the world - from Australia to Argentina. With his diplomatic background and career, it was only a matter of time when he would have to start working at UN's headquarters in New York. However, considering her parents didn't quite believe in the quality of American education, Tara was sent back to England when she was thirteen years old.. with her governess, not her parents. What kind of Fitzgeralds would have they been if they had left their careers and their position in the New York society?

Moving back to London wasn't quite easy - living in the way too big Belgravia house with no one but her governess, a chef, and a maid or two, was utterly boring.. just as school was boring. Well, it was boring until she met the boy who was anything but an ordinary boy. He didn't even go to her school, but didn't mind waiting for her in front of it everyday. He even introduced her to his friends.. and very soon she became more fond of his friends than him. It didn't matter she was just fourteen and she was always the youngest of all of them - just as it didn't matter she was a girl. Tara had finally learned how it felt to belong to something.. The Jabberwocks' became her home and her family.

Yet it was evident that she was more than just another member of the gang. With her family's background, she had connections and she had money.. all of it could be used for the gang's benefits. Thanks to her paternal great grandfather, both of her grandfathers, her father.. Tara got into Oxford. Getting in was easy, getting out.. there were far more interesting things to do in life than studying, but it was her job to get that degree and put it to a good use.

And so she did. To the outrage of her parents, instead of marrying rich and taking her role in the high society, the loyal member of the Jabberwocks' became an MI5 detective. Some said it was the first step towards the MI6, but it was the first step to her role of playing another sort of an agent - the double agent. And she was so good at it that there were times when she was not even recognizing herself anymore, but the high priestess - as they called her, was fearless and would do anything and everything for the family she had chosen for herself when she was merely fourteen years old. Her life was in the constant danger, but what was she if not dangerous herself? Sipping chaos wherever she went, Tara Fitzgerald was one of the most powerful weapons the gang had.. day to day, this angel look-alike beauty is crossing her family's enemies off the list, to make them them rue the day they dared to even think of crossing the Jabberwocks.

Headcanons:

she loves sneaking up on people - you can never see or feel her coming

the fact she is one of the Jabberwocks isn't known outside of her gang, and even more so, many people in the gang doesn't know it

doesn't do love so her love life consists of hook-ups, flings & one night stands

has insomnia, but can barely function without coffee

hates talking about her parents & her family in general

has travelled all around the world, but her favorite continents by far are Africa and South America

loves Krav Maga and Jiu-Jiutsu

drives Aprilia RSV4 bike

[ownsariver]

Anyone protesting Western colonialism, occupation, and terror is, apparently, a terrorist. Who calls Hamas terrorists?

Israel

USA (except South America)

England (the Irish certainly don't, so I refused to say the United Kingdom)

Australia (the white part)

EU (and we know that is not agreed to by several of the countries, too)

Japan

The rest of the world - yeah, imagine that the world is more than the colonizing West - don't.

Israel’s role as a perpetrator of state-sponsored terrorism or state terrorism is condemned by Bolivia, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Spain, and Yemen. Dozens of countries around the world have called on Israel to show more restraint in the war in Gaza, while a smaller number have gone a step further by severing relations or making other official diplomatic protests. The list of countries that condemn Israel for its violations of international law in Gaza includes the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Morocco, Bahrain, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, Belize, Chile, Honduras, Colombia, Bolivia, and counting.

Even the Pope says Israel's war on Gaza is terrorism.

Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until 2018. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.

That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.

Anyways as Nelson Mandela said

Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉

How to get Australia PR from India – Australian PR Process

How to get Australia PR from India

Given the reasons of a high standard of living, great job opportunities, and a multicultural society, Australia is quite high on the list for Indian professionals in search of PR. If you're interested in fetching Australia PR from India, you would be required to follow the detailed process. Below is the article that explains the entire process of Australia PR application, categories of visas, requirements, and successful application process.

What is Australia Permanent Residency?

Australia Permanent Residency (PR) allows you to study, work, and remain in Australia. You also get access to health care and social security benefits, and you're even eligible to apply for Australian citizenship under certain circumstances, with the Australian PR  visa.

Types of Australia PR Visas

Australia also provides various ways to get PR which mostly differs with eligibility criteria and skill sets. The most commonly used for Indians are:

1. Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) – Points-based visa for skilled workers who do not require employer or state sponsorship.

2. Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) – Points-based visa for the workers nominated by a state or territory government.

3. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491) – For skilled workers nominated by a state or territory to live and work in regional Australia.

Now let's detail the Australia PR process for each of these visa types.

 Detail Australia PR Process

 1. Eligibility Check

To be eligible for an Australia PR visa, you must have passed the eligibility check. What are the main factors considered?

Age: Below 45 years of age at the time of invitation.

Occupation: Occupation from the Australian Skilled Occupation List (SOL).

Work Experience: The nominated occupation must have acquired relevant work experience.

Language Proficiency: English Language proficiency is to be proven with IELTS or PTE.

Health and Character: They must meet the health and character standards that they establish. These standards involve medical certificates and police clearance certificates issued through proper authorities.

2. Skills Assessment

Having determined that you are qualified to make an application, your next action would be to get assessed. Various professional bodies in Australia, for instance, for IT professionals - ACS (Australian Computer Society) or for engineers - EA (Engineers Australia) assess whether your skills are equivalent to the standards present in Australia.

It has been also proven to determine if you would qualify or not for the issuing of a PR visa. You need to apply with the right documents and information to prevent delays.

 3. Expression of Interest (EOI)

Apply for an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect, the online mechanism for skilled migration in the country of Australia. At this stage, you will submit detailed information about your qualifications, experience, and proficiency in the English language.

Points-Based System: Australia processes EOIs based on ranking using a points-based system. You get points for age, qualifications, work experience, and even English language skills and, if you have the same, state sponsorship or nomination.

Minimum Points Requirement: A minimum of 65 points is required to be eligible. But, more points ensure that there's an increased chance of getting an invitation.

4. State or Territory Nomination (For Subclass 190 and 491)

You must have a nomination by an Australian state or territory if you are applying for the Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) or Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa. Each of the states determines their requirements based on their skills shortage.

Examples of some states that nominate applicants based on certain criteria requirements for occupations in demand in their regions include; Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia.

Once you get nominated, you earn more points that increase your total score along with enhancing your chances of getting an invitation.

 5. Receiving Invitation to Apply (ITA)

When your EOI is selected you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for an Australian PR visa. The invitation is granted during regular rounds of the subscription based on your scores and occupation demand.

You should know that you have to upgrade your EOI by providing new information every time because tiny changes can affect your score and eligibility.

You have 60 days after it is received to lodge your visa application

 6. Submit Visa Application

Once you receive the ITA, you can apply for your Australia PR visa online. You will be required to produce supporting documents, such as:

Identity Proof: Mostly of your passport and other identity documents.

Proof of Skills: This will include an assessment report on skills, qualification certificates, and work experience letters.

Proof of English Proficiency: IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL results

Medical and Character Certificates: Health examinations and police clearances are supposed to prove that the applicant meets the standards of health and character required in Australia

The application must be both complete and accurate. Incorrect or incomplete information may lead to delays or refusal of your visa approval.

 7. Visa Outcome and Decision

After you submit your application, the Department of Home Affairs will process it. The processing period may vary, but, on average, it takes approximately 6 to 12 months.

Approvals: you will be provided with the Australian PR visa, and you are good to live and work in Australia. 

Problems or extra information: the department will always contact you. You need to reply in good time not wasting a single minute.

8. Move to Australia

Once your visa is approved, then you become formally a Permanent Resident of Australia. You can now relocate to Australia and take the full benefit of living and working in the country. Simultaneously, after becoming a permanent resident of the country for a certain number of years, you are eligible for Australian citizenship as well.

Benefits of Australia PR

There are quite many benefits attached to an Australian PR. Here are a few:

Work and Live in Australia: You can live anywhere in Australia, and work anywhere in the country without restrictions.

Health care access: PR holders have access to Medicare, Australia's health care system.

Social Security benefits: You will benefit from the social security system after some years.

Children’s Education: Children can study in schools in Australia as domestic students.

Citizenship: You can be granted Australian citizenship upon spending some periods as a PR holder.

How to Find an Employer Willing to Sponsor Your Migration

Securing an employer sponsorship for migration to Australia is a significant step towards achieving your career and life goals. Whether you're seeking opportunities in South Australia or across the country, understanding how to find an employer willing to sponsor your migration is crucial. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this process effectively.

Research Your Industry and Occupation Demand Start by researching industries and occupations in Australia that are experiencing skill shortages. This information is pivotal as employers in these sectors are more likely to consider sponsoring skilled migrants to fill critical roles. Websites like the Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs and industry-specific job boards provide insights into demand for skilled workers.

Build a Targeted Resume and Cover Letter Craft a resume and cover letter tailored to Australian employers. Highlight your skills, qualifications, and relevant experience that align with the needs of your target industry. Emphasize any international experience, language proficiency, or specialized skills that set you apart as an attractive candidate for sponsorship.

Network Effectively Networking is essential in finding employers willing to sponsor your migration. Attend industry conferences, seminars, and networking events both in person and online. Join professional associations and groups related to your field of expertise. Establish connections with professionals who may have insights or direct contacts with employers seeking skilled migrants.

Utilize Online Job Portals Explore online job portals and recruitment websites that specialize in connecting skilled migrants with Australian employers offering sponsorship opportunities. Websites such as SEEK, LinkedIn, and Indeed often feature job listings that explicitly mention sponsorship or visa support for eligible candidates.

Contact Migration Agencies and Consultants Engage with reputable migration agencies and consultants who specialize in employer sponsored migration. These professionals have extensive networks and insights into employers actively seeking skilled migrants. They can assist you in identifying suitable opportunities, preparing visa applications, and navigating the sponsorship process effectively.

Directly Approach Potential Employers Take a proactive approach by directly contacting potential employers that match your skills and qualifications. Research companies that have a history of sponsoring skilled migrants or express a commitment to diversity and international talent. Tailor your approach by demonstrating how your skills can meet their specific business needs and contribute to their growth.

Stay Informed About Visa Options and Requirements Stay updated on the latest visa options, requirements, and changes in Australian immigration policies. Familiarize yourself with visa subclasses such as the Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa and the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme visa. Understanding these options will help you articulate your eligibility and value to potential sponsors.

Be Patient and Persistent Securing employer sponsorship for migration can be a competitive and time-consuming process. Be patient and persistent in your efforts. Continue to refine your approach, expand your network, and enhance your skills while maintaining a positive attitude throughout your job search.

Prepare for Interviews and Assessments If you receive interest from potential employers, be prepared for interviews and skills assessments.

Exploring the top 10 countries with the best healthcare system

Healthcare refers to various systems that help humans maintain their health by treating or preventing illnesses, injuries, and diseases. These systems include physicians, hospitals, dental offices, psychological services, nursing homes, physical and occupational therapy facilities. Access to healthcare varies across nations, communities, and people, with economic and social factors being the main determinants.

Access to healthcare is a fundamental human right, and countries with a stable, accessible healthcare and affordable healthcare system tend to live longer and have a higher quality of life. Health outcomes are better in nations with well-functioning healthcare systems. Factors determining healthcare quality include the care process, administrative efficiency, equity in healthcare, and healthcare outcomes, such as population health, mortality amenable to healthcare, and disease-specific health outcomes.

Identifying a top-tier healthcare system is not easy due to the complexity of healthcare systems and the disagreement on what makes a flawless system. However, health-focused organizations continue to search for the perfect system, despite the elusive nature of such systems, as healthcare is crucial and requires continuous improvement.

Taiwan

Taiwan's healthcare system is ranked highly in the world because of its extensive coverage, excellent medical care, and reasonable prices.

With a single-payer system that is funded by a combination of taxes and premiums, the nation has achieved universal health coverage, guaranteeing that all citizens and legal residents have access to healthcare services without encountering financial obstacles.

Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists are just a few of the many highly qualified healthcare professionals who support Taiwan's healthcare system.

South Korea

One of the top on the list is South Korea, which has an advanced, effective healthcare system with highly skilled medical personnel, well-equipped hospitals, and other amenities.

The National Health Insurance (NHI) is the name of the public healthcare system in South Korea. Preventative healthcare in South Korea emphasizes routine examinations and illness detection. In order to increase citizen access to healthcare services, it has also made significant investments in healthcare infrastructure and technological advancements, including telemedicine and electronic health records.

Australia

Australia, which offers both public and private healthcare, ranks well among the nations with the greatest healthcare systems worldwide. With readily available and reasonably priced healthcare, it also boasts one of the longest life expectancies in the world.

The Medicare public healthcare program, which covers treatment in public hospitals and all or part of the cost of doctor consultations, is supported by the Australian government. Though there are alternatives for private medical insurance, not all medical treatments are covered under this program.

Canada

Medicare is Canada's national health care program, providing universal healthcare coverage to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents. The government oversees and finances the system, with each province and territory responsible for providing public health initiatives to its citizens.  

The Canada Health Act ensures equitable access to healthcare through social assistance, providing comprehensive care, including medical treatments, prescription medications, and preventive measures at no cost. Family doctors serve as gatekeepers for specialist consultations and hospital referrals, prioritizing primary care services. This strategy promotes early intervention and reduces unnecessary hospital stays, resulting in cost-effective resource use.

Sweden

In Scandinavia, it's a three-way tie as Sweden is included among the nations with the greatest healthcare systems worldwide. Sweden's 83-year average life expectancy is comparable to that of Iceland and Norway. At just 5.4 days, it also has one of the shortest hospital stays in all of Europe, and the infant mortality rate is less than 2.6 per 1,000 births.

Sweden boasts more than 100 hospitals for its 10 million inhabitants, so even those living in rural areas can receive top-notch medical care. But mental health is where the Swedish truly shine; in fact, many lists have named Sweden the top nation in the world for mental healthcare this year.

Ireland

Aside from these delightful features of the nation, another advantage of relocating to the Emerald Isle is Ireland's healthcare reform system. For those who intend to remain in the nation for a minimum of one year, the public system is reasonably priced and accessible. In Ireland, everyone has access to high-quality, universal public healthcare. The system is available to new residents without any waiting time. About 30% of people have free access to the public system. To keep healthcare cheap for everyone else, the government subsidizes costs.

Netherlands

The Netherlands completes the top 10 countries for healthcare in 2024. The Netherlands boasts an amazing universal healthcare system that is the envy of the world, and their system routinely ranks highly in many important categories.

Even though it is a small nation, the Netherlands has more than 586 hospitals, more than 53,000 hospital beds, and more than 500,000 individuals working in the medical field. The Netherlands boasts one of the lowest obesity rates in Europe (partly because of its strong emphasis on encouraging healthy lives), as well as one of the shortest average hospital stays (5.2 days).

The Netherlands is home to many of Europe's leading pharmaceutical companies and is the epicenter of pharmaceutical research and development, which may account for why the Dutch are among the lowest spenders of pharmaceuticals.

Germany

The government provides the majority of the funding for the universal, multi-payer healthcare system in Germany. It is among the world's most prosperous healthcare systems. Nevertheless, Germany has the eighth-highest percentage of practicing physicians worldwide and the 13th-highest life expectancy. Germany has the greatest amount of spending in Europe, which is not surprising.

In the German healthcare system, freedom and choice are highly valued. This extends beyond picking a Krankenkassen and deciding between public and private insurance plans. Germans are not constrained by geography and are not required to select a local doctor.

Norway

Norway boasts one of the greatest healthcare systems in the world in addition to ranking eighth in the world for expat living. Norway is a powerhouse in the global arena, spending the fourth most on healthcare in the OECD and ranking 10th in the world with an 83.1-year life expectancy, second only to Spain in Europe.

Furthermore, Norway is setting the standard for accessibility to healthcare. Less than 1% of Norwegian adults did not receive the appropriate treatment in 2019, and new telecommunications methods that were implemented during the epidemic have subsequently become standard. Norway is able to brag of having the second highest amount of money spent on mental health care globally, which is likely why it is frequently included in lists of the happiest nations on the planet.

Israel

The cutting-edge procedures and therapies available in the globe can be obtained through Israeli medical care. Israeli clinics, hospitals, and dentists are sought after by medical tourists. However, the services provided to foreign visitors and Israeli citizens differ.

Israel's National Health Insurance Law applies to all citizens and lawful permanent residents. Citizens and residents of Israel are legally entitled to obtain healthcare within a reasonable distance and within a reasonable period from their place of residence. Israeli people pay taxes ranging from 3% to 5% of their income to support this system; the government provides the remaining funding. For six months to a year, many newly naturalized Americans are eligible for free healthcare.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the exploration of the top 10 countries with the best healthcare underscores the multifaceted nature of healthcare excellence. Each nation demonstrates a unique blend of factors contributing to its ranking, including accessibility, quality of care, healthcare infrastructure, and healthcare innovation. While countries like Switzerland, Japan, and Germany consistently rank high, it's essential to recognize that healthcare systems are dynamic and subject to change. Moreover, this analysis highlights the importance of continuous improvement and collaboration in advancing global healthcare standards. By learning from the successes of top-ranking countries, nations can strive towards achieving equitable, efficient, and high-quality healthcare for all.
