I saw Albanese speaking at UCT on Monday evening. We live in a bonkers world in which her call for nations to simply obey international law is a radical programme.

Israel broke the last ceasefire too.

Israel launches strikes on Gaza and pauses aid as ceasefire comes under strain Military says it bombed dozens of targets after two soldiers killed in Hamas attack

"Under strain" is a strange way of saying that Israel has violated another ceasefire.

For Israel, it's you cease, we fire.

The antifa concept can be traced to Arditi del Popolo movement, an Italian anti-fascist group that was founded in 1921 for the purpose of defending working-class people and institutions from the assault of Mussolini’s blackshirts.
