Murdering someone for the 'offense' of trying to retrieve their brother's body is..beyond monstrous

and the horror is compounded by the risk of identifying it as such: The reporter "asked not to be named because Israel has killed at least 189 journalists in Gaza"

The end of Meanjin after 85 years is as sad as it is infuriating | Ben Walter MUP says it is ‘no longer viable’ to make the literary magazine – but almost none of them are financially viable. That’s not their purpose or value

Here's me in Guardian Australia on the total debacle with Meanjin.

This is so deeply troubling.

For a university/publisher to cite 'viability' concerns over a cultural endeavour – the leading literary publication in the country, no less – and do so one month after the long-awaited launch of Writing Australia body raises many questions.

Literary journal Meanjin to close after 85 years of publishing Meanjin, a mainstay of Australia's cultural landscape and the nation's second-oldest literary publication, is shuttering after Melbourne University Publishing decided to cease financial support.

This, from Jonathan Green, pretty much sums it up: “Meanjin’s financial demand is trivial … a few hundred thousand dollars … the cultural loss of its death is as significant as it is tragic.”

Anas al-Sharif: Four Al Jazeera journalists killed in Israeli strike near Al-Shifa hospital Al Jazeera had condemned a "campaign of incitement" by the IDF against its reporters, but the military claims one of the journalists was part of Hamas.

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.
