Throughout the Gaza genocide, testimonies have documented the Israeli army’s use of Palestinian women as human shields. These are not isolated acts by rogue soldiers but a systematic practice known to Israeli commanders and acknowledged by soldiers. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/pale...

Palestinian women share how Israeli forces used them as human shields in Gaza and the West Bank

ICYMI- yesterday’s cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com

Cartoon: former Prince Andrew is grimacing and sweaty as he carries his bags off to the left. His assistant is looking over his shoulder saying ‘If it’s any consolation, Andrew, you’re not the only one giving royalty a bad name’
To the right sits a crowned w a throne with columns on either side topped by golden busts of Trump’s head. Bags lf money lie on the floor next to him and on the other side is a heavily chained and locked filing cabinet with ‘Epstein files’ written on it

Pondering tea-towels, at this late stage. A few people ask if I will ever do the Socialist Birdies again, which were very popular some years ago.

And below, my AI dog, might be the best suited visually for a tea-towel.

Everything else is so tied to issues of the moment, I'm not sure they hold up.

Oasis were epic last night. A wall of sound and hooks, a huge mass of connection and anarchy. It got a little loose in a fun way. I can only assume the flares were left on the pitch by Melbourne Victory fans. Monumental.

Stop the killing.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Six frames. Man addressing a woman with a Palestine flag t-shirt and a sign saying STOP THE KILLING. Frame 1: Man says, “If you care so much about humanity, why aren’t you marching for Sudan?” 2. Woman: “can you tell me first: who is the “us” and who is the “them”?” 3. Woman: “Which group should we see as the victim? Which is sub-human?” 4. Woman: “How many weapons or parts are we supplying?” 5. Woman: “Which side controls the narrative? Whose version gets discredited?” 6. Woman: “Now, if you would like to lead the march?”

As support for Israel plummets among U.S. voters, Democrats are distancing themselves from AIPAC, and the Israel lobby group is on the defensive.

AIPAC has become so politically toxic that even centrist Democrats are abandoning the group

Here’s Israel's strategy to continue the war on Gaza: find a pretext, no matter how baseless, use it to kill dozens of civilians and fighters, stop fire and claim you’re honoring the ceasefire. Then do it again.
