Israel's policy of blocking international reporters from entering Gaza is cruel and aims to prevent the world from learning about the unfolding genocide. Tragically, the mainstream press has rarely mentioned the restriction, let alone condemned it.

So let me get this straight. The guy who wants to reward Russia for invading Ukraine, encouraged Israel to do more genociding in Gaza, and is using the military against his own citizens wants the Nobel Peace Prize?

Israel murdered Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues because genocide can only proceed without witnesses. Western media outlets have failed to condemn the systematic murder of Palestinian journalists, and in the process have become accomplices.

Netanyahu brands Australia 'shameful' - ABC listen A defiant Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fronted the media in Jerusalem, outlining why he believes occupying Gaza City in the coming months is the only option for the next stage of the ...

What is really "shameful" is that almost all Australian mainstream media report Netanyahu's confected indignation and 'defiance' as big news,
while avoiding any mention that he is a wanted war criminal currently undertaking a genocide. #ThisIsNotJournalism #auspol

If the Albanese government won’t lift a finger to help prevent a clear-cut genocide, instead spending more effort silencing critics, you have to wonder which principles they will stand up for.

BREAKING: Israel Killed Al Jazeera Journalist Anas Al-Sharif Journalists in Gaza continue to be murdered in record numbers, while Western media outlets and reporters show little or no outrage.

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different.

How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

β€œIf this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased β€” and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

Every day they try to hide the truth of the genocide they are committing

The prime minister could avoid accusations of hypocrisy by first complying with Australia's own obligations under international law.

Cease Australia's F-35 supply chain exports until the US-led F-35 supply chain ceases supplying Israel.

Stop pretending it isn't within Australia's power to do this.

Australia strongly rejects Israel's plan to seize Gaza City The foreign ministers of Australia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand and the United Kingdom say this decision will "risk violating international humanitarian law".

Words have had no effect.
Sanctions now. Travel restrictions - against all members of the government and IDF, and their families. Freeze assets and all trade. Kick out diplomats. Enforce ICC findings. Pressure Israel’s active supporters. Anything but this.

AI may present economic opportunities for πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί but those opportunities should not be built by ripping off artists.

If AI companies want to train their models on the works of creatives, then they need to negotiate fair terms.
