The first Swiss journalist to reach Gaza under the army of genocide lost his temper at the horror he witnessed, saying: “Humanity was destroyed here.”

We renew our call on international media and investigators to pressure the genocidal state to allow immediate access to Gaza.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

Best supporting cast - the Senate and Congress of the US, in a split decision narrowly beating both England and Australia.

This is how Israel treats foreign nationals.

And there is evidence of far worse treatment received by Palestinians under indefinite detention, often without charge.

This is the behaviour of a rogue state who behaves with impunity.

Because it is never held to account.

Labor - not just shit-lite.

Australia has one of the worst extinction records on Earth — and Labor’s doing a deal with the Coalition to overhaul nature laws.

Labor can’t protect nature while protecting polluters.
