Not apartheid apparently
Israel 🇮🇱 will now go into "elections" without any of the country's Arab-Israeli parties being allowed to participate. A disgrace but not a surprise.

Is she showing solidarity with Ed Sheeran? Imagine the outcry if she was wearing a keffiyeh
Sporting a Ukrainian military cap and an attitude to match, casual ABC journalist Latika Bourke, projecting in front of the world’s media, turns a question to the PM into a stark accusation: “Don’t you feel like a bit of a fraud.” (Bourke serves as a co-presenter on the @ABCnews Radio National current affairs program Global Roaming, with Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald.) news.com.au/world/north-amer…

Galloway: As a Jew, I find it entirely unfair and not accurate to describe what’s happening in Israel as a genocide. El-Sayed: When people use dehumanizing language against a people, when they bomb their hospitals and schools, when they attempt to displace them from where they are…that seems to me to be deliberate targeting. So I would ask you, do you understand why somebody who’s been thinking about this question, looking at it, connecting the dots between the language that is used and the outcomes that were created, would then label it that way?

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, who filed arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over Gaza, has been cleared of all wrongdoing over “sexual misconduct” allegations. The unanimous conclusion of the panel of judges concluded that the allegations “do not establish any misconduct or breach of duty.” Reports in August 2025 documented the scale of the intimidation campaign targeting the ICC chief prosecutor: “The campaign has involved threats and warnings directed at Karim Khan by prominent figures, close colleagues and family friends briefing against him, fears for the prosecutor’s safety prompted by a Mossad team in The Hague, and media leaks about sexual assault allegations.” The case unfolded against the backdrop of Khan’s efforts to pursue investigations into alleged war crimes by Israeli officials in Gaza and other occupied Palestinian territories.

A case study of what happens when political ideology and partisanship rots the brain’s rational faculties: opposing Trump’s crimes, destruction of international law and daily idiocies is a “left wing political tactic” not sensible diplomacy - according to @chambersgc at @australian
