Israel committing genocide in Gaza, says top legal scholar Melanie O'Brien - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-committing-genocide-gaza-says-top-legal-scholar-melanie-obrien

The Israeli government is depraved. It's deliberately starving and murdering children. The world, and Australia, must make a stronger stand with sanctions. The people of Australia demand it.

Powerful Stella prize speech from Michelle de Kretser: “In Australia today it isn’t those applauding mass murder who have cause to be afraid, but those speaking out against it. Principally targeted are Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, First Nations people, people of colour, queers.”

The Jewish Council calls on the re-elected Albanese government to immediately sanction Israel and comply with our obligations under the Genocide Convention and international law. This includes cutting all economic, military and diplomatic ties with Israel. Media release here: tinyurl.com/5ydypam7

Sorry, *they're* the government doing the genocide and *we* are the ones that have to mend the relationship? I guess that spine Anthony Albanese asked Santa for didn't arrive. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

It’s genocide. It’s not even an argument. Israel will wear this stain for generations to come. It will never rub off. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Before the inevitable conspiracy theories begin... The toxic fossil fuel industry is to blame for this disaster. Victoria has had an unusually hot and dry Summer, as a result of global warming from fossil fuel air pollution.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted. Know the truth.

A recent analysis found that when Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions. Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars. It's crony capitalism at its worst.
