The destruction of Gaza and the deaths of more than 60,000 people demand accountability, justice, and a properly funded reconstruction plan.

"Enraged, disoriented, but also determined to restore all of Israel’s advantages since Oslo, Netanyahu embarked on a campaign of mass killing that, over the course of two years, culminated in one of the worst genocides in human history."

This Christian priest was asked "If the mosques in Gaza are all bombed who will issue the call to prayer?" He replied "If the mosques in Gaza are all bombed and there's no muezzin in Gaza, I will raise the call to prayer at the appropriate time for my Muslim brothers as an honour to them." #SaveGaza

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Yet at a time when the government is cutting vital services, it is willing to waste many millions locking up thousands of our fellow Victorians for the victimless crime of possessing a bit of cannabis, a disproportionate number of whom are young people, First Nations and culturally diverse people.

After 32 years in Israeli prisons, Palestinian brothers Abd Al-Jawad and Mohammad Shamasneh, from occupied Jerusalem, were released as part of the exchange deal between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation and subsequently exiled to Egypt.

Two middle-aged men stand side by side in a large hall with rows of empty chairs behind them. Both wear white baseball caps, black-and-white Palestinian keffiyeh scarves printed with the word “Palestine,” and casual sportswear — one in a black Adidas jacket and beige trousers, the other in a light blue Nike jacket and black pants. They are wearing open-toe slides and have light beards with calm, faint smiles. The atmosphere appears subdued yet dignified, as if marking a solemn moment of freedom or reunion.

Meanwhile, mainstream media is ignoring a new report noting 1 in 7 Australians, and 1 in 6 children, are living in #poverty.

They have more 'newsworthy' issues, like the uber wealthy responding to super changes making them slightly less wealthy.

The political & media class is fucked. #auspol

Israel has committed genocide. There is no more serious crime under international law. Culpability does not fade simply because there is now a ceasefire agreement, in the same way that a serial killer wouldn't be pardoned if they simply stop killing. There must be consequences.
