Courageous doctors.
Horribly suffering civilians.

Meanwhile, the craven Australian government officially recognizes what is left of Palestine, and wants us to accept that that is enough. #GazaGenocide #auspol

On 16 September 2025, the Commission delivered its report, determining that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza.
