This is precisely why we have an International Criminal Court - peace and justice are indivisible

He's not sorry.

If he was, he would confess all the other times he's assaulted women and now feel equally 'disgusted'.

Or he would tell us this incident was a total one off.

He did neither, because the only thing that's disgusted him is getting found out

My 1st job was for Aryeh Neier. Hard to overstate how influential his views on human rights
'I'm now persuaded Israel is engaged in genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. What changed my mind is its sustained policy of obstructing the movement of humanitarian assistance'

The response to student protests at universities like mine USC and throughout America has been unacceptable

Not to mention counterproductive, even on its own terms




Thank you to all the students and faculty standing up for our values

This speech by Nada Tarbush at a United Nations conference yesterday will go down in history.

In front of a room filled with states from around the world, she exposes the racist ideology that underpins Western support for Israel.

What is the purpose of continuing to send arms to Israel,

Whoa. Sydney Morning Herald (The Sydney Morning Herald) reports that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (@ABCaustralia) sacked award-winning Australian-Lebanese host Antoinette Lattouf after a 'high-level and coordinated letter-writing campaign from pro-Israel lobbyists.'

The number of journalists killed during Israel’s war on Hamas is appalling and unprecedented.

79 in just three months, according to Committee to Protect Journalists

Journalists in Gaza are our eyes and ears for the truth, and must be protected, like civilians, under the laws of war.

Sometimes American friends try to persuade me we would be better off with their system…

which according to this The New York Times = inflated prices, for more expensive healthcare, and still a lower life expectancy. Which not everyone can access.

Nope

You all saw this right? The majority of our political leaders aren’t asking themselves what’s right, but what’s electable.

If you are asking yourself why MP’s failed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and you don’t vote…

You are part of the answer
