Attacks leave dead vs killed
Three days ago, Israel ordered the south evacuated. Two days ago, they did the same to the southern suburbs. Thatβs more than one million people. Some, the most vulnerable, are sleeping rough by the sea or on sidewalks. Today, it is raining. War harms the poor the most.
It doesnβt matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. Itβll never cease to amaze me that people donβt care that itβs happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
Unsure how to report on this fresh absurdity? Translation: the U.S. and Israel, both nuclear powers who have already flattened Gaza, now claim a moral duty to 'preemptively' bomb Iran. Why? A sudden concern for international law and paranoia Iran might develop the very weapons they already have.
People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

"Israel is tightly restricting the entry of aid and basic supplies into Gaza...
On Sunday, 158 trucks entered the Strip but only 12 were carrying humanitarian supplies.
Under the ceasefire deal... at least 600 aid trucks were supposed to enter the Strip each day."

3yo Ali Hassan Jaber and his father Hassan Jaber were killed in an Israeli strike on a car in south Lebanon. Israel claims it struck a Hezbollah βterroristβ in the attack but UN peacekeepers say it has not seen evidence of Hezbollah in the border region. #IsraelTerroristState #LebanonUnderAttack
THE GENOCIDE HAS NOT STOPPED. NOT FOR A SINGLE DAY.
Israel is a rogue apartheid state whose raison dβΓ©tat is the extermination of Palestinians.
Pretty amazing stuff here in Senates, Wong says she was unaware that the chair of an organisation behind illegal settlements (something Australia is supposed to sanction) entered the country as part of Herzog's delegation.
DFAT eventually say the delegation was handled by PM&C not them.
"As long as the international community continues to repeat this mantra of a two-state solution, while not taking any action that could enable Palestinian territorial contiguityβ¦we are going to live in a totally unrealistic fantasy"
That's Australia's policy on Israel & Palestine:
cowardly fantasy.
Good article, stupid headline:
1. Israel is not "quietly" annexing the #WestBank. It's just that no-one is listening.
2. This is not a "blunder". It's a deliberate strategy by the Israeli regime to further choke off any chance of Palestinian independence.

This the never ending tragedy of this colony.
A son here, never to see a mother again.
Multiply this by communities and by generations of the same shameful white govt and worker behaviours of forced removals.

as we mark 18 years since Closing the Gap was launched with the National Apology to Stolen Generations and their Descendants, know that police routinely target and brutalise Aboriginal people including children and then charge them with offensive behaviour, resist arrest, and assault police.
Introducing Magabala's first titles of 2026! We're so excited to start the year with these incredible books:
π€ 'Wurnan, Sharing on Ngarinyin Country' by Wilinggin Aboriginal Corporation
π€ 'Muttonfish Magic' by Aunty Ruth Simms and Lucy Robertson, illustrated by Jasmine Seymour
Congrats to all π

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich: "We will continue to kill the idea of a Palestinian state".
"The simple fact is that Israeli actions endanger all of us, including Jews. Because what Israel is doing claims to in our name, in my name. And believe me when I say it is not in my name."
