The most salient question;
"Why are they at the UN talking about a so-called two-state solution instead of sanctions?"
Israel isn't going to stop without sanctions which have teeth and fangs

A bit perplexed at the headlines about todayβs #marchforhumanity saying βperilousβ and βpolice feared the worstβ. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

are Australian taxpayers still paying #JillianSegal's 6-figure salary to be Australian Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism?
Why won't ASECA respond to submissions made using the ASECA Contact Form?

"Too soon" means what ? That Aus tralia is going to............ about Israel? Or not enough people a re dying of starvation?

A photo of Australia's taxpayer funded antisemitism envoy, Jillian Segal, dressed in pearls, scarf and suit sitting in a tv studio. Superimposed over her expensive jacket is the image of a starving child in Gaza taken from an Al Jezeera report on YouTube (17,000 children in Gaza severely malnourished as starvation deaths rise, 22.7.2025)
It is an obscenity that this woman sits in judgment over Australians while she defends the perpetrators of this atrocity.
Palestinians deliberately starved of food by the Israeli govt while this taxpayer funded, multi-millionaire sits in her govt office telling us what we should think about it.
Aus support for international law should not hinge on whoβs committing the crime. It applies to everyone equally and our Govt undermines it at our own peril. Might does not make right. #auspol #politas

Louise isnβt specifying anything in particular but for arguments sake letβs apply it to say, Israel deliberately starving Palestinians.
Personally I canβt see any sort of moral or ethical centre position is possible. But hey maybe thatβs just me.

At 11:43 Palestine time the Occupation cut the cameras on board Handala and we have lost all communication with our ship. The unarmed boat was carrying life-saving supplies when it was boarded by Israeli forces, its passengers abducted, and its cargo seized. The interception occurred in international waters outside Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza, in violation of international maritime law. Handala carried a shipment of critical humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza, including baby formula, diapers, food, and medicine. All cargo was non-military, civilian, and intended for direct distribution to a population facing deliberate starvation and medical collapse under Israel's illegal blockade.
Human Rights Defenders Aboard Handala, by country: United States: Christian Smalls - Amazon Labor Union founder; Huwaida Arraf - Human rights attorney (Palestine/US); Jacob Berger - Jewish-American activist; Bob Suberi - Jewish U.S. war veteran; Braedon Peluso - Sailor and direct action activist; Dr. Frank Romano - International lawyer and actor (France/US). France: Emma Fourreau - MEP and activist (France/Sweden); Gabrielle Cathala - Parliamentarian and former humanitarian worker; Justine Kempf - Nurse, MΓ©decins du Monde; Ange Sahuquet - Engineer and human rights activist. Italy: Antonio Mazzeo - Teacher, peace researcher, journalist; Antonio "Tony" La Picirella - Climate and social justice organizer. Spain: Santiago GonzΓ‘lez Vallejo - Economist and activist; Sergio Toribio - Engineer and environmentalist.
Australia: Robert Martin - Human rights activist; Tania "Tan" Safi - Journalist and organizer of Lebanese descent. Norway: Vigdis Bjorvand - 70-year-old lifelong justice activist. United Kingdom / France: ChloΓ© Fiona Ludden - Former UN staff and scientist. Tunisia: Hatem Aouini - Trade unionist and internationalist activist. Journalists Aboard Handala Morocco: Mohamed El Bakkali - Senior journalist with Al Jazeera (based in Paris). Iraq / United States: Waad Al Musa - Cameraman and field reporter with Al Jazeera. The attack on Handala is the third violent act by Israeli forces against Freedom Flotilla missions this year alone. It follows the drone bombing of the civilian aid ship Conscience in European waters in May, which injured four people and disabled the vessel, and the illegal seizure of the Madleen in June, where Israeli forces abducted twelve civilians, including a Member
of the European Parliament. Shortly before their abduction, the Handala's crew affirmed that they would be hunger-striking if detained by Israeli forces and not accepting any food from the Israeli Occupation Forces. Israeli officials have ignored the International Court of Justice's binding orders that require the facilitation of humanitarian access to Gaza. The continued attacks on peaceful civilian missions represent a grave violation of international law. "Israel has no legal authority to detain international civilians aboard the Handala", said Ann Wright a member of the Freedom Flotilla's steering committee. "This is not a matter of internal Israeli jurisdiction. These are foreign nationals operating under international law in international waters. Their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end."
BREAKING: Israeli military attacks humanitarian aid vessel Handala in international waters 30 miles from Gaza β in violation of maritime law β and has abducted 21 people on board, including U.S. citizens.
The ship was carrying life-saving aid, which Israel has seized.
