Streeting called Bob Vylan and Kneecap ‘revolting’, Kemi Badenoch said they’re ‘grotesque’. I’ve never heard either of them use anything like such strong condemnatory language to describe the slaughtering and starvation of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza.

The BBC is destroying itself over this issue. Today it was censoring Glastonbury shows; earlier this week it refused to screen a doco it commissioned, because the film showed … doctors talking about what they experienced in Gaza. Obviously BBC mgrs haven’t heard of the Streisand effect either.

A very interesting and sharp post by Robert Manne about the pro-Israel lobby and its attacks against other Jews. Manne is always necessary reading to me. (Obviously I thank him for his kind words.)

“I think we're beyond words… What the medical teams are now reporting is that especially... the wounded children are not healing after surgery, because their bodies are incapable of healing.” Conflict Surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah spoke with DAWN about what he’s heard from colleagues in Gaza.

About 20 years ago, we had an extreme rightwing government in Australia that pulled this same bait-and-switch trick on essential services too. It cut support for public healthcare, education, and housing, then used those savings to subsidies private schools, hospitals, and investment properties.

This article is bizarre. It keeps taking about ‘annual out-of-pocket’ costs. But the figures it lists aren’t annual, they’re per-appontment costs. Did the journalist who wrote this actually understand the figures they were looking at?

"Experts fear that the recent attacks by Israel and the United States may have driven Iranian leaders to conclude that Iran must acquire its own nuclear weapons to ensure its security."

Iran is not easily summed up. Behind headlines of regime brutality lies a diverse society—ethnically, politically, and religiously. Many oppose the regime, but not all in the same way. Support, dissent, and pragmatism coexist. Change, if it comes, must embrace this complexity—not flatten it.

Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

Today marks 2 years since the Murphy Report on the harms of online gambling. The crossbench has been calling for a ban on online gambling ads for two years. The Government has remained silent. In those 2 years Australians have lost $50 billion. It’s time for our government to act.
