Where happened to the call "all hostages must return home"? Why is Israel - who has no legal authority in Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem according to the highest world's court - continues to hold captive thousands of Palestinians, mostly without even charge or trial?

Let's make hope normal again.

In response to my Carmichael Lecture Richard Marles asserts, without explanation, facts or reasoning that AUKUS is “ the heart of sovereignty” Capitulating to US militarism, imperialism,and hegemony is the antithesis of Australian sovereignty. au.news.yahoo.com/leader-hits-ba…

@ScotNational I wonder if @Keir_Starmer will object to the targeting of ceasefire talks by Israel in #Qatar? Aren’t #Qatar a UK ally? Or is it all just #StudentPolitics to Keir?

Watch as Stephen Flynn slams Keir Starmer for welcoming Israeli president Isaac Herzog in the UK while children starve in Gaza

“It’s insane to still be saying ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’ when they are killing and ethnic cleansing.” @mehdirhasan slams British politician Michael Gove when he denies genocide in Gaza. Watch the full video - link in replies.

Massive, peaceful March in Hobart opposing the genocide ,apartheid and starvation of Palestinians. Much support for increased sanctions against Israel. Much support for an end to the inhumane slaughter of Palestinians by the Israeli government. Tasmanians want action not words.

🏆🤍 Yesterday at the #SuperCup medal ceremony, Tala (12) and Mohamed (9), refugee children from Gaza, joined UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin on the podium thanks to @UEFA_Foundation & Inter Campus in a tribute to their courage, healing and hope. #EveryChildIsAChampion

Albo seeking a call with Netanyahu. Bob Carr says he is wasting his time. I agree. Why would our PM seek discussions with a war criminal who is committing genocide against Palestinians? Don’t give this disgusting, criminal any credibility. theguardian.com/australia-news…

My party(ALP) needs to understand the message from the Australian public today. Exercise our sovereignty. Recognise Palestine. Sanction Israeli war criminals. Publicly call on Trump to stop financing genocide in Gaza. Advocate for a UN peacekeeping force in Gaza. Be courageous!

The time to #SanctionIsrael is long past. Stand up for humanity and end the genocide. #Melbourne #Gaza

Every…single…day… @DavidLammy @Keir_Starmer

Time to stop the handwringing and platitudes. Implement Labor policy recognise the state of Palestine and increase sanctions against a state that is committing genocide. abc.net.au/news/2025-07-1…

@Pontifex Get on the phone. Even when dying Francis called them everyday - understanding that they needed his solidarity. Solidarity is a verb. #Gaza #HolyFamilyChurch

I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for their families and the injured. I renew my call for an immediate ceasefire. Only dialogue and reconciliation can ensure enduring peace!

🚨Israel just bombed the very Gazan church Pope Francis used to call daily during the genocide They injured the very priest, Gabriele Romanelli, who used to update the Pope on the situation. 2 church goers were killed, 6 wounded.

Richard Marles running the line that Labor has done a review into AUKUS. Absolute rubbish! No analysis of why we need nuclear powered subs to sit off the coast of China or why we signed off in 24 hours with no critical analysis. Sick of militarism dominating the ALP.

"People who are writing island of strangers speeches should be a bit slow to sit in judgement on Diane Abbott who has been fighting racism all her life," Labour peer Baroness Chakrabarti tells #PoliticsLive bbc.in/3TMmg1J

Suspending Labour MPs for standing up for real Labour values is a terrible look.

@academic_la I wonder whose home #Netanyahu lives in. #WestBank #Gaza

Here is a picture of the Palestinian home I grew up in. You can see the green gate where a traditional metal key belonging to a Palestinian family is probably kept somewhere. After talking to two researchers, they have told me this house appears in several Nakba databases, like Bethlehem University one where I got this picture. It once belonged to the Dajani family, which was never compensated for the expropriation. I grew up in stolen Palestinian land. Literally. What a shameful way to grow up. This is why I take this issue so personally.

@AusConservation This speech should mobilise policy makers everywhere to pull measures out of ‘too hard basket’ and take this crisis seriously.
