When you turn on the tap today, remember that for most people in #Gaza, clean running water is no longer a part of daily life. After more than two and a half years of relentless destruction of Gaza’s water and sanitation infrastructure, families are forced to walk long distances carrying heavy containers of water, simply to meet their most basic daily needs.

In rare move, Israel seizes homes inside Palestinian Authority-controlled part of the West Bank, raising alarms over annexation mondoweiss.net/2026/06/in-rar… #Palestine #Israel

This weekend, we filed our submission to the Royal Commission. Read it in full at: jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/06/jewish…

#auspol Gee @abcnews you really do say ‘regime’ a lot! And only in reference to one side, when technically they’re both just governments no more or less legitimate than the other For balance, stop doing it, or label USA a regime 11 times per article too abc.net.au/news/2026-06-1…

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have forced hundreds of families into the streets - many for the second or third time since the genocide began, writes Palestinian journalist Shaimaa Marwan Eid. deepcutnews.com/p/as-though-th…

It is beyond disgraceful that the 'Great Israeli Real Estate' event was allowed to go ahead. Once again, the government has exposed its flagrant contempt for international law as well as its shameful complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation. thenational.scot/news/26200041.…

For most of us, we can’t even imagine what Nestory’s journey has been like. As with all refugees. Displaced, homeless, full of hope but in desperate need of safety. A chance. An opportunity at life. With a dream and a ball, making a new life, in a country with a proud history of welcoming refugees, but facing its own forces of opposition today. Nestory didn’t just shoot the ball into the Turkish net, he struck a lightning bolt to the conscience of millions of Australians. How can we cheer one brilliant, skilled, explosive and confident young kid representing us, and we him, and simultaneously portray refugees or new arrivals as less worthy? It also should raise the question of how refugees come to be? Everyone wants to live a safe life at home, with kin, generations of family, not having to ask for a chance.. But conflict, it’s funding, the breakdown in international law, the weapons industry needing to be fed, exploitation of resources, religious tribalism and extremism, all create the more than a hundred million people who have fled their home. It is these drivers we must stop, and these causes we must never support nor participate in. Football brings everyone together and shows us what we share. Now, we share a love of a young Aussie kid who overcame every barrier put in his way, to reach the pinnacle of world sport. And that is needed more than ever.

@MichaelWestBiz What on EARTH! The Iranian ambassador was dismissed based on allegations from Mossad, over a singed synagogue door and a trashed cafe. We are talking here of Australian citizens being sexually abused and RAPED. Why hasn't the Israeli ambassador already on his way back to Tel Aviv

Australia's Jewish community received 49x more funding (per capita) than Muslim Australians but where does the money go? @sstephanietrann investigates. #auspol #ECAJ @Tony_Burke michaelwest.com.au/wheres-the-mon…

The illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is one of the most well-established positions in international law, resting on four distinct pillars: 📜 GENEVA CONVENTIONS Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) explicitly prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Israel ratified the Convention in 1951. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the authoritative interpreter of humanitarian law, has consistently held that this provision applies directly to the settlements. 🌐 UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS The Security Council has repeatedly affirmed settlement illegality — including in binding resolutions the US did not veto: • Res. 446 (1979): settlements have "no legal validity" • Res. 465 (1980): calls on Israel to dismantle existing settlements • Res. 2334 (2016): passed 14-0 (US abstained), explicitly states settlements constitute "a flagrant violation of international law" and have "no legal validity" ⚖️ ICJ RULINGS • Advisory Opinion on the Wall (2004): the Court found settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, had been established in breach of international law, and that the wall built to protect them compounded that illegality • Advisory Opinion on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (2024): the Court went further, ruling that Israel's continued presence in the OPT — including the settlement enterprise — is itself unlawful, and called on all states not to recognise or assist it 🏛️ UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY Countless UNGA resolutions have reaffirmed settlement illegality, including Res. 77/247 (2023), which requested the landmark 2024 ICJ opinion. No serious legal scholar disputes this consensus. The settlements are illegal. The only remaining question is whether the international community will act on it.

Goal ! Scored by one of those migrants that Pauline Hanson wants to deport. Australia 1-0.

In #Sudan, war is no longer waged through bombardment alone, but also through the weaponisation of thirst. Targeting water and electricity has deprived civilians of access to safe water, forcing them to face thirst and disease in one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises.

In a disastrous ruling, the Court of Appeal in London has overruled the High Court and upheld the government's decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Defining a protest group as terrorists has created an absurd situation where thousands of people have been arrested for holding up signs. Learn more:
