And yet, despite it all, we always have to remember the importance of our resistance. ❤️‍🔥

It isn't abstract.

Does the Australian government have any comment about this new war crime? There is a huge population in Australia with relatives in Lebanon. What does the government say to them?

This is the X account of Benjamin Netanyahu's son. Will he be extradited to Queensland to face charges for using the slogan "from the river to the sea"? No, we didn't think so. When it's a slogan of domination, it's tolerated. When it's a slogan of liberation, it's criminalised.

Israel is set to deport a Jewish American activist who reported an Israeli settler who ran over a five-year-old Palestinian girl in the South Hebron Hills two days ago. They arrested and deported the activist who reported the crime—not the criminal.

Join us on the streets in Melbourne tomorrow.

They raped a man. They gang-raped him. They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized. Doctors documented the injuries. The video of the assault was leaked. Now the rapists are free. This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick! #ThisIsIsrael

🚨LEAK🚨 Israel’s foreign minister lets slip that Australia’s crackdown on free speech is not about ‘antisemitism’, but is about preventing criticism of Israel. “I want to praise the change in legislation in Queensland designating some anti-Israeli slogans as criminal.” Sa’ar urged on the Zionists Federation of Australia: “I think it is crucially important and to the extent that you can influence other districts or states in Australia to do the same, that would be blessed.” michaelwest.com.au/israel-ministe…

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are setting fire to Palestinian homes in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank in an attempt to burn Palestinian families alive and to implement their plan of ethnic cleansing against these communities.

What an absurd situation where people are being arrested for chanting pro-Palestine chants. This will only INCREASE anti-Semitism so well done to the fools who pushed for this:

An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." In Australia, you can bankroll mass murder and sleep fine. But wear a shirt that says "from the river to the sea"?Two years in prison.

“Women of the world, stand with us. Do not abandon us.” This is the plea of Almaza al-Sultan, 46, a mother of five from Beit Lahiya in the Gaza Strip. For the third year in a row, women in Gaza mark International Women’s Day under the shadow of the genocide Israel is committing in the Strip. Our new report Clinging to what’s left of life, published this week, brings new testimonies from women in Gaza, together with information and data that lay bare the struggle for survival in inhuman conditions. Women from Gaza have shared with us, with remarkable courage, what it means to live in constant fear of losing yet another child; to care for a family without a home; to see their privacy erased and their health and most basic human dignity undermined; to feel that their children’s future has been stolen; and about the crushing new weight that the word “mother” has taken on. Watch a video with excerpts from these testimonies and listen to voices from Gaza Read the full report for more on the lives of Palestinian women under genocide in Gaza >> btselem.org/video/20260308…

Tehran tonight. Trump and Israel are burning Iran’s capital — a city of 9 million people. This is not “liberation.” This is pure terror.

I presume this is for consumption by the Royal Commission. My partner is Jewish, my step kids are Jewish and most of my intellectual interlocuters, both in Australia and overseas, are Jewish. Not one has reported feeling insecure or been subject to antisemitic attacks of any kind recently. I must be living in a different world to this guy. Frankly, he's not helping at all by masking his Israel advocacy and apologetics with this shtick

This’s not Gaza… this’s Lebanon Israel just carried out 100+ of airstrike on residential areas in Lebanon, violating Security Council resolution 1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences This’s another war crime and the ICC remains silent

Thank you to the 200 people who came to our Unite to Fight Racism forum on Wednesday night, and to the nine amazing speakers. Let's build on the anti-racist momentum with the rally we've called against Labor's deportations on Saturday 21 March, 2pm at the State Library.
