they killed his friend while he was searching for flour! He was supposed to travel before October 7, and all his papers were ready. But the war of genocide robbed him even of the simple life he wanted to improve.

What is the Australian government doing to free the 6 Australians detained by Israel in international waters? Where is the outrage? The urgency?

ABC now running completely untrue propaganda for America and Israel. The bombing hasn’t stopped and it has been widely reported that Netanyahu said to his own people they wouldn’t stop pretty much as soon as trump asked him to.

ABC News (Australia) headline: For the first time since the conflict in Gaza began nearly two years ago, an American president told Israel to stop — and it did.

“Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy” – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.”

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla.

Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained.

The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

"It is true that I know only one side of the picture from the seven years I spent covering Gaza. I was on the receiving end of Israeli attacks, including being bombed by its air force and fired upon by its snipers, one of whom killed a young man a few feet away from me at the Netzarim Junction."
