I live in Britain; I grew up in Israel. It’s painful to say, but we need real UK sanctions to save Gaza | Yair Wallach Symbolic gestures and empty statements are no longer enough. In Israel’s globalised economy, here’s what will shift public opinion, says says senior lecturer in Israeli studies Yair Wallach

Albo's Palestine delay an act of moral cowardice The Albanese Government’s failure to move to follow the lead of the UK, Canada and France in recognising the state of Palestine smacks of cowardice.

I met a young Palestinian boy injured in Gaza when an Israeli F-35 fighter jet dropped a bomb on his house. Australia manufactures the bomb dropping capacity.

Turns out it's @albomp.bsky.social bringing the genocide here.

Scott Marsh, the Australian street artist, once again reveals through his art what words fail to express.

Art is still the most powerful tool for expression and exposing reality!

I feel a little sick seeing this image of someone extremely complicit in Israel's genocide trying to save face. Expressing dismay for the horror she's enabled while peddling the BS of a two-state solution (Which Israel has literally never wanted) is peak centrist bullshit

THE FINAL SOLUTION.

WTAF??? 😡🤬

Israel can not allow aid in Gaza to avoid starvation but can spend $150M to buy influencers to say the starvation is fake

Israel's war crimes now coming with a PR package

🚨 🚨 🚨 RED ALERT: Netanyahu orders FULL TAKEOVER and ethnic cleansing of Gaza — no matter the cost. Even IDF officials were told to resign if they object. This is the public declaration of a war crime.

🟥 This isn’t new. It’s just finally being said aloud.

According to The Jerusalem Post, August 4, 2025:

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reached a decision for the full occupation of the Gaza Strip, including operations in areas

Even if those hostages die.

No ceasefire.
No negotiation.
No regard for international law, human life, or the survival of over a million displaced civilians.
🏚️ This is ethnic cleansing. This is the New Nakba.

Time flies when governments are ignoring a genocide

Approximately 250,000 people marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 2003 to protest against Australia's involvement in the Iraq War.

Does ‪@chrisminnsmp.bsky.social‬ &/or NSW Police have any idea what the fuck they're actually talking about. #auspol #nswpol #GazaGenocide‌ #marchforhumanity

In this context, I DESPISE his use of terms like 'losing their lives'.

Palestinians didn't mislay their lives while having a coffee with friends. They didn't leave their lives behind by mistake when they got off a bus.

ISRAEL MURDERED THEM.

Labor's cowardly Albo-tross is too pissweak to say so.

F#ck Isr4el!

F#cking barbaric

New York Police arrest 11 rabbis during a demonstration outside the Israeli Consulate, protesting the massacres in Gaza. Chants rose: "Let Gaza live!"

‘We faced hunger before, but never like this’: skeletal children fill hospital wards as starvation grips Gaza For months Israel kept food shipments to Gaza far below starvation rations. Now the death toll is rising rapidly

Starving people to death is the most obviously inhumane act a state could perpetrate. Yet our government does nothing. Israel’s supporters say nothing.
Do they think people will not notice, or ignore it?

The reality in Gaza shows Israel is at risk of becoming a global pariah The reality of the situation on the ground in Gaza, and the spectre of children dying of malnutrition or starvation, sits at such extraordinary odds with the language of spokespeople for both the Neta...

“The now-deliberate physical destruction of much of Gaza by Israel can only be seen to be directed at destroying its viability as a place for anyone to live.”
Laura Tingle:

In relation to the Gaza atrocities, the ALP has taken real action - sanctions - against only two people: Fatima Payman and Mehreen Faruqi.
Speaks volumes.

The moral test for Labor has shifted on Gaza: Words are not enough Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has rightly condemned Israel for breaching international law, but damning statements alone will not stop the killing.

Why dont these journalists have the courage to mention the word?. Israel is committing genocide they must be sanctioned now! www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

How good is it to live in an Australia where a foreign nation is deliberately starving an entire country of people and a South African born white woman is paid from Australian's taxes to defend the foreign-nation-that-starves-people and is also directed by our govt to tell us to shut up about it?

Unpacking the sudden, strangely synchronised media concern for starving Palestinian children. Why now? What’s changed & what still hasn’t? 

A look at the caveats & spin still dominating the conversation.
