My friend messaged today, "This is happening now. Silence kills us." She quoted her own words from October, "The worst thing that could happen to us is that the world becomes indifferent to the scene of our death and annihilation." Her voice still matters. womensagenda.com.au/latest/l…

My friends say these are the final days and hours.
They are dying from one hundred and one different ways.
And I don’t know how to reply to them anymore.

My friend Randa, in this story, wrote yesterday after it was published.
Here are her words. Speaking up matters.

From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!

This @pchrgaza press release should ignite action by every supporter of media freedom worldwide to stop the ISR onslaught of Gaza's courageous journalists, as it reveals the raw facts: "...With Esleih’s killing, the number of journalists killed since 7 October 2023 has risen to 215, according to the Government Media Office—the highest number ever recorded globally since journalist death tracking began in 1992. Among the killed are 13 female journalists. Most were killed in Israeli airstrikes—either from warplanes or drones—while others were shot by snipers. A significant number were killed along with their families in targeted attacks on their homes, while others were killed in indiscriminate bombings during the ongoing genocide. Some were directly targeted, and others lost their lives while performing their journalistic duties..."👇

We apologise to the survivors of these attacks, those alleging torture and the families of those killed. They all doubted whether @BBCNews would ever tell their stories. We thought they would; they still can. We are desperate for this film to be released. Please watch this space.

If I tell of the sorrows of my heart, I am afraid it will burn my tongue.
If I keep it in my heart, I am afraid it will burn me from the inside.
If I let it out, I am afraid It will burn the whole world.
I can not let it out, so I let my sorrow stay inside.

“Voting data shows the Greens more than doubled their Senate vote in Blaxland from 6 per cent in 2022 to about 13.6 per cent this year.” Every little bit counts. Happy to have played my part in this result, and to have done everything I could to resist Aus complicity in genocide.

Apart from IDF breaches of international humanitarian law, is there any ounce of humanity left? 👇
