"Until there is accountability for Israeli crimes, and for those complicit with their crimes including western leaders, arms dealers, and arms companies,
then this situation will only repeat.

Israel only gets away with this because of their impunity.
This has to strop now."

The western media always refers to “the hostages” as those held by Hamas.

Apparently they are too lazy to access the readily available evidence,
or so imbued with an attitude of dehumanising and ignoring Palestinians (aka racism),
that they rarely mention the hundreds of hostages held by Israel.

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.

Among other things, according to the decision:

- 250 security prisoners will be released.
- 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released.
- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

No surprise that despite majority community support we still don’t have a ban on gambling advertising when the Albanese government accepts money from companies like Sportsbet for their fundraising.

When will they put Australians ahead of gambling companies?

With Israel and Hamas not sticking to Donald Trump's proposed "20-point plan", the deal to bring "eternal peace" in the Middle East looks more like a temporary ceasefire.

Hamas is trusting Trump as his 'eternal peace' in Gaza turns into a shaky ceasefire

Australian newspapers are reporting only the ceasefire, not Israel’s violation of it. The bombing hasn’t stopped but that’s an inconvenient truth.

Trump is already counting his Nobel Peace Prize chicken before the egg has even been laid.

Of course we hope for peace and co-existence but there is zero trust at this time. The whole process is transactional and therefore prone to violations, mistakes and delays. Managing it is the challenge.

Australia handed $10m to Israeli arms firm as Albanese recognised Palestine.
Yet again, the government is handing taxpayer money to a company steeped in Palestinian blood: Elbit Systems.
It’s quite a contrast to PM Albanese’s posturing on recognising #Palestine
