❗️BREAKING❗️: Gaza Al-Roya Tower (12 floors of media, clinics, sports & civilian offices) is under threat. Smashing, bombing, levelling everything built on the surface is not war: it is the deliberate creation of conditions meant to destroy a group as such, i.e. genocide.

One of the most disgusting things I have read in quite some time. Daniel Raab, an American from Chicago who became a sniper in the IDF, brags about how he killed unarmed Palestinian teenagers in Gaza. The callousness with which he brags about his war crimes will send chills down your spine. But it also reveals a complete lack of ability to see Palestinians as humans. To him, the Palestinian he had just killed was nothing more than an insect, and as a result, Raab could not comprehend why the victim's teenage brother was devastated by his death and sought to retrieve his body. So Raab murdered the brother, too.

Labor had to be dragged kicking and screaming by the Greens and others in the Senate just to release 20,000 home care packages. This time, Labor should take heed of this warning from the states, and release enough high quality care for everyone who needs it.

Australia has imposed 1,600 sanctions in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. 1,600. And Israel? About a dozen, against individuals and groups - but not on trade. It’s not that we can’t act against a genocide, it’s that we are choosing not to.
