Australian journalists whoโ€™ve STILL said and done nothing as hundreds of Palestinian peers are murderedโ€”youโ€™re a betrayal to our craft. So much for giving a voice to the voiceless and speaking truth to power.

Rest in power Hossam & Mohammed.

There were 69 journalists killed in all of WW2. 63 in Vietnam. The Israelis have killed more than 200 in Gaza. Deliberate murder to silence reporting.

Just a normal, nice Australian charity doing normal, nice charitable things.
And definitely not an Australian charity promoting the erasure of a people and/or ethnic cleansing.
Because that would be wack.

Australia drops 2026 Venice Biennale artist over video of Hezbollah leader Decision follows article describing Sabsabiโ€™s work as โ€˜a โ€˜creative approach to racismโ€™

Another Lebanese-Australian targeted.

Silencing artists, writers, & thinkers isnโ€™t just censorshipโ€”itโ€™s an assault on democracy. History shows that when creative voices are muzzled, terrible things follow & flourish.

What are these lobbyists so desperate to hide?

You would hope Lalorโ€™s extremely high profile colleagues at SEN would stand up for him (not least because it suggests they are vulnerable to similiar action down the track).

The network should be made a pariah and boycotted for everyone with a conscience.
