PM Albanese is supporting a group Jewish people who have gathered to remember their tragic losses. As they do, Albanese has turned back over his shoulder, raised his finger to his mouth and ‘shushed’ at an endless landscape of unnamed graves.

Israel’s security minister, Ben Gvir—himself convicted of supporting terrorism in Israeli courts—praised his prisons’ harsh treatment of Flotilla members.

He called them “terrorists” & boasted that he’s “proud” 🇮🇱 is treating them as such in Ketziot prison.

From the Gaza Flotilla: “I’m Here Because My Jewish Heritage Demands It” I hope that fellow Jews will join me in redefining their approach to atonement and move toward courageous action to put an end to this horrific genocide.

As a Rhodes Scholar, David Adler knows the importance of “fighting the world’s fight” to protect the most vulnerable.

And, as a Jewish American who’s watched Netanyahu’s Israel starve Gazans, this particular fight was hugely important to him personally.

Greta:

"I will never comprehend how humans can be so evil. That you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades of oppression and apartheid.”

Francesca Albanese, from the other place:

🇳🇱 At noon today in Rotterdam, the city’s air raid sirens sounded their monthly test: 1 min. and 26 seconds echoing across the Netherlands. Hundreds of demonstrators dressed in red timed their march across the Erasmus Bridge and back with the warning test, forming a living red line against Israel...

Lorenzo D’Agostino, an Italian journalist, told the Guardian there were crew members who had urgently needed medication. “The Israelis ignored them,” he said. “When we all protested, they came in wearing riot gear, set dogs on us and aimed the laser sights of their automatic rifles at our heads.”

Australians don’t want to be complicit in Israel's #GazaGenocide. The Albanese Labor Govt is trying to hide our ongoing supply of arms components to Israel. The AUS Govt must end the arms trade with Israel. Labor must #SanctionIsrael like we sanctioned Russia. #auspol

“I urge everyone to join the global uprising for justice, freedom, and equality. And to apply real pressure on our governments and institutions to fulfill their legal obligations to ensure human rights for everyone.

Chris Hedges - Statement by the National Press Club (4 October 2025) The National Press Club wishes to respond to the article published by journalist Chris Hedges about his proposed address at the club. The club was approached by representatives of Mr Hedges to make an address, and tentatively agreed to a date given his stature and expertise on the matter of Gaza. The club is constantly reviewing its address schedule, and when more details of the address were made available we decided to pursue other speakers on the matter. Chris Sidoti and Ben Saul addressed the club this week on the case for Palestinian recognition (with Chris being of the view that recognition in of itself is not enough), and we have Unicef Global Spokesperson James Elder and Judge Navi Pillay covering the war who will be speaking in the coming weeks. It is important to state that the board and its CEO Maurice Reilly make decisions on speakers independently. There has been no pressure from anyone outside of the board, either directly or indirectly, regarding our speakers on the war in Gaza. The inference that our decision to not go ahead with an address from Mr Hedges was to appease sponsors etc or lobby groups is false, exemplified by the speakers we have had on the issue. The proposed address was never published on our website, so the claim from Mr Hedges that was removed is also false. The inference that Mr Hedges was being cancelled to make way for the Israeli ambassador is also false and without basis. We wish Chris Hedges well on his tour of Australia.

We must be vigilant.
Australian Labor has not yet gone as far with repressive measures on behalf of the Israel lobby as UK Labour.

But that is precisely the direction they'd take if Jillian Segal's so-called Antisemitism Plan was adopted. #auspol

it is genuinely shocking how much rage @jay.bsky.team and the devs seem to have for their user base. suspending Erin Biba over an old post just because she’s been criticizing you is deeply fucked up. fix this shit.

7 October 2023: shocking yes, surprising no A new book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Road to October 7 - a brief history of Palestinian Islamism, by Erik Skare, shows how the seeds of the Gaza war were sown over decades.

"In 2004, following Israel’s assassination of Hamas’s spiritual leader, Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, its foreign minister, Silvan Shalom, said the only question was why it had not happened sooner. We should keep this question front of mind in thinking about—7 Oct 2023."

A short history of the UN’s complicity in Israel’s mass rape propaganda since October 7 Why the UN Secretary-General’s recent decision to blacklist Hamas, and not Israel, as perpetrators of sexual violence, flies in the face of the UN’s own evidence.

This woman is amazing, not making her capture & mistreatment the story, keeping all eyes on Gaza and their plight against a genocidal regime. She is the best of us. Our governments around the world must act. Stop the genocide.
