Shayne Chester on F/Book "Was the Interception of the Madleen Legal? No. According to numerous legal experts and international human rights officials, Israel’s interception of the Madleen in international waters violates international law. The UN and ICC must act.

This is what the General-Secretary of Amnesty Internation thinks of Israel's bording of the "Madleen" and its genocide in Gaza. See:https://x.com/AgnesCallamard/status/1931980904555020528

Chris Schmidt Daily, I get messages from more people in Gaza wanting help. I simply can't help them all on a carer's pension. I do what I can. However, the situation is so horrendous and Israel so determined to.....

Israel's boarding of the humanitarian aid ship the "Madleen" in international waters is another significant breach of human rights. The world needs to stand up against Israel.

I'm making it simple: whoever gives ALP or LNP their 1st preference 2morrow, supports keeping people in poverty. Neither have a plan 2 deal with this. Another factor: you also support inadequate action on Israel and the Gaza war. #Schmidt4Sturt2028 #Standing4JusticeCompassionIntegrity #FairGoForAll

Unless we move to a steady state economy - one where population growth and GDP growth is zero - we won't overcome climate change. To achieve this, degrowth is first necessary,. That does not mean we can't be compassionate and do our fair share for the refugee crisis in Australia
