@PeterCronau Absolutely. Australians rightfully detest what is happening in Gaza. Many also know the exaggerated claims by Israel.

After Yamal was attacked by Israel’s Minister of Defense, #Barcelona just published this video on their YouTube channel. Love it!

لحظةٌ تُثبت أن النجاح لا قيمة له بدون من ساعدوك في الوصول إليه. على السجادة الحمراء لحفل الكرة الذهبية، وصل النجم الصاعد يامين يامال برفقة أغلى الناس على قلبه - عائلته. بينما يترقب العالم نجمًا صاعدًا من نادي برشلونة، تُظهر هذه اللحظة قصة النجاح: الأهل والعائلة الذين ساندوه منذ البداية. الألقاب تصنع الأساطير... لكن العائلة تصنع الأبطال. منقول

Over the past two months, the UAE and other Arab countries have repeatedly condemned Iran for its “unprovoked” attacks on their territories, demanded compensation, and sponsored Security Council resolutions, all while casting themselves as victims. Today it is clearer than ever that they did far more than merely provide their territories for U.S. bases. As Netanyahu himself admitted, they also hosted the Israeli prime minister to coordinate operations and actively joined in armed attacks against Iran “to defend American forces,” according to Admiral Cooper’s recent testimony before Congress. In other words, every claim that Iran had attacked them unprovoked was pure deception, designed to obscure Iran’s legitimate right to self-defense. Their sponsorship of yet another UN Security Council resolution is equally deceitful and without foundation.

This is massive from 🇮🇷 Iran's FM Araghchi 🔥 🇮🇷 He said: "We are unbreakable after 40 days of war with the US. The imperial power is in decline and wants to turn back the clock. They have completely lost it. We have perfectly used the chance to discipline Trump 🇺🇸."🔥🔥 What a courage this man has. Trump will not sleep tonight listening to this 👏

1/2 FM @araghchi to Indian media: This #BRICS meeting was highly successful. We appreciate BRICS condemning the illegal U.S.-Israeli aggression on Iran. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Iran did not start this war; we are strictly exercising our right to self-defense.

Israeli soldiers were caught on video raping Palestinian Victim suffered ruptured intestine, severe injury to anus, lungs & broken ribs Israelis rioted for the right to rape, government ministers defended soldiers & 1 rapist became a TV celebrity All charges were then dropped

FM @araghchi delivers Iran's statement at the #BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting in India. He highlighted the importance of breaking Western hegemony and ensuring that international institutions remain free from political manipulation. #Iran #NewDelhi #GlobalSouth

Palestine Forum slams NZDF share in military exercises with ‘genocidal’ Israel #asiapacificreport #palestineforum #RIMPAC2026 #israel #GazaGenocide‌ #warcrimes @palestine asiapacificreport.nz/2026/05/15/pal…

Press TV confirms Iran brilliantly took full control of the Strait of Hormuz, completely humiliating the Trump administration. Tehran permitted 30 ships to transit but explicitly banned all American munitions from reaching US bases, exposing Washington's total impotence.

Surprise, surprise: After months of Trump claiming Iran’s military was “decimated,” U.S. intelligence now says Iran still has 70% of its missile stockpile and most of its launch capability. Maybe we shouldn’t let Netanyahu, a liar and a war criminal, dictate U.S. foreign policy.

"Albanese has done nothing more than speak" — Justice Richard J. Leon. US court temporarily blocks Trump's "vastly over inclusive" sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine @FranceskAlbs on freedom of speech grounds. Will Europe now act? Albanese had submitted reports denouncing Israel's mass killing and ethnic cleansing. She also named US companies such as Google and Palantir who facilitated Israel's actions. The ruling was made by senior DC judge Richard D. Leon who was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2002. US sanctions are still active against European and Canadian ICC judges (the legality of which was not considered) and punitive measures against Albanese could be reimposed during subsequent hearings. The EU can block the sanctions using its "blocking statute" — a move Spain's government said it would back. But will it?

Wouldn’t it be quicker and simpler to zap Kristof with a drone like you’ve done to all those other journalists ?

It's extraordinary that my daughter was acquitted on all charges after damaging drones in an Israeli-owned weapons factory, which she told the jury she was proud to do. And now she has a lot to say... 1/6 standard.co.uk/news/crime/gov…

Top journalist Ana Kasparian drops a massive bombshell. She confirms Israeli media openly admits the Iranian protests used by the Trump administration to justify war were completely engineered by Mossad. The Zionist regime literally boasts about cultivating armed resistance.

IMPORTANT! Just before Trump met with Xi, Iranian news services reported that Chinese ships had begun transiting the Strait of Hormuz, under the Iranian mechanism. While Beijing rejects a toll, it has been open to paying an administrative fee for the environmental upkeep of the Strait. (Which is just another way to frame the toll...) This agreement neutralizes American pressure on China to side with the US to "open" the Strait since the waterway is open to China. In fact, it reverses the pressure. If the US stops these ships from transiting as part of the American blockade, Trump will be picking a losing fight with Xi. While in Beijing. Instead of Trump pressuring China to help open the Strait, China will pressure the US to make sure the Strait isn't blocked for Chinese ships. This is yet another way in which Trump's adoption of FDD's proposal for a blockade of the blockade is backfiring on the US. The sooner Trump stops listening to FDD and its allies, the safer America will become.

The difference between .... 🚫Chinese President: "The world is at a turning point. Can the US and China create a new model of relations to jointly address these global challenges?" 🚫US President: "The number of Chinese restaurants in America has exceeded the number of restaurants of the five largest US fast-food chains. This is a loud statement!" Today, the world has witnessed the collapse of America.
