Millions of caring people around the world marched against the continued genocide and killing of innocent Men, Women and Children in Palestine. Many carried Palestinian flags and some carried messages. I think they were marching for humanity - not anti-semitism.

This is beautiful. The smiles! Bondi beach hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed with the doctors looking after him at the hospital in Sydney. And… The doctors are *also* Syrian! Tamer Al-Kahil from Homs. Anas Natfaji from Aleppo. *Three* heroes.

Being sanctioned like this is a civil death sentence. No access to banks, credit cards, and therefore no access to most phones or mobile devices. Basically no access to the things you need to live unless you move to China or Russia, which is hard to do if you work in The Hague

Labor must critically analyse the effect on democracy and the right to protest of adopting the Segal report recommendations. Conflating antisemitism with legitimate opposition to Israeli govt genocide, apartheid and breaches of international law would be a grave mistake.

The crisis in Gaza is a crisis born of human decisions. It can be resolved through human choices – if there is the political will to act. The perverse and prolonged suffering must end. We need a truly durable ceasefire.

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

It breaks my heart to see the ongoing scale of human suffering in Gaza. While famine has been pushed back, needs are growing faster than aid can get in. We need more crossings, lifting of restrictions on critical items, removal of red tape, safe routes inside Gaza, sustained

Minns fails to understand that real democracy requires concerned citizens demonstrating against inhumanity, genocide, apartheid, colonialism and misuse of power. A Labor Premier must not sacrifice democratic rights on the altar of ill informed, short term, knee jerk reactions.

This mob said before the first anti-immigration march that net migration in 24-25 would be 457,000 (actual outcome 305,000) and headed to more than 550,000 in 2025 (it will be nowhere near that). independentaustralia.net/politics/polit…
