Australia sanctioned Russia for violations of international law. So why is Israel still protected? After almost three years of genocide in Gaza, illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank, and now shocking testimonies from Australians aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, the Albanese Government continues to refuse meaningful action. “Beaten profusely.” “Unable to walk.” “We could hear his screams.” These are the testimonies from Australians intercepted while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. Palestinians have endured this violence, imprisonment and Israel's impunity for decades. We are demanding Australia sanction Israel now. We’ve prepared a letter you can send directly to your MP demanding sanctions, an end to military ties and accountability for war crimes. Send the letter now. Link in bio.

Asking the Royal Commission into Social Cohesion and Antisemitism if Muslim communities can't give evidence and false claims of antisemitism which conflate a bake sale or wearing a keffiyeh with antisemitism go unchallenged, what exactly is this royal commission for?

Ignoring the on-camera abuse of Global Sumud Flotilla detainees (including 11 Australians), ambassador Hillel Newman lied on ABC’s 7.30: “No one, out of the 400 plus people that were on the flotilla, no one was harmed” Why does our government still host this propagandist?

@yechielleiter @IsraeliPM @gidonsaar Nice try, ambassador. But Ben-Gvir is your Minister For National Security. A senior cabinet position. His vile behaviour is, by definition, government policy. He is a mass murderer and a wanted war criminal. Your devious diplomatic weaselling does not change or excuse that.

When food banks are unfunded and everyday Aussies are going without, the need for a 25% tax on gas exports is crystal clear. Australian gas belongs to the Australian people, and they deserve to get a fair return. @DavidPocock #auspol

Utterly shameful failure to meet the moment from Labor - it's not populist it's popular and he's listening to his mining mates instead of the people.

BREAKING Australia’s politician Penny Allman-Payne: “Our government is thrilled to pose with Iranian female soccer players…” “And yet, you’re quite happy watching the US and Israel drop bombs on schools and kill schoolgirls.” “Your hypocrisy and doublespeak knows no bounds.”

BREAKING: Israel just dropped bombs on a medical center in Zawtar, southern Lebanon. From Lebanon to Gaza to Iran, Israel deliberately targets hospitals and health facilities — murdering doctors and medical workers. A war crime. A crime against humanity.

Moral double vision as Australia heads to the Gulf 'Suddenly we can send aircraft.Suddenly, we can send missiles.Suddenly, we can speak in the language of security and moral clarity. And suddenly the Middle East is not so far away after all. Because for the past year, Australians were told something very different. When Gaza was being destroyed, the message from Canberra was that Australia is merely a “middle power.” The conflict was distant. Complex. Beyond our ability to influence.There was little we could do.' 'The government hid behind diplomatic language. The opposition, particularly the louder voices inside the Liberal and National parties, went further. They condemned protests, dismissed criticism of Israel as extremist and opposed humanitarian pathways for Palestinians fleeing the destruction. In some cases, the rhetoric became openly hostile. Palestinian suffering was treated as a political inconvenience rather than a humanitarian catastrophe. And much of the media followed suit. Coverage of Gaza was often framed through the language of “complexity” and “balance.” Israeli security concerns were explored in depth, while Palestinian deaths were frequently reduced to statistics buried deep in reports. Calls for sanctions or stronger diplomatic pressure were portrayed as radical or irresponsible. Restraint became the narrative.' 'When Iranian repression or attacks on Gulf states dominate the headlines, the language of moral clarity suddenly returns. Victims are humanised. Outrage is expressed. The responsibility of democratic nations to respond is emphasised. But when Palestinian civilians were buried beneath rubble, when hospitals collapsed and children starved, the dominant tone was caution. One conflict is analysed with restraint. The other with urgency.Together, the political class and large parts of the media construct a quiet hierarchy of suffering. Some lives command outrage. Others barely command attention.' michaelwest.com.au/moral-double-v…

The govt is making a big deal about giving temporary humanitarian visas to a small number of female Iranian soccer players. At the same time, the XBENCH is trying to block the govt passing legislation to enable it to suspend the temporary visas to Australia already held by more than 7000 Iranians outside this country.

All of a sudden it seems momentum is building to remove the most important voice advocating for justice for the Palestinian people, in the world. They are an utter cowardly disgrace. It seems the truth just does not suit powerful interests.
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt@FranceskAlbs

Three European governments accuse me - based on statements I never made -with a virulence and conviction that they have NEVER used against those who have slaughtered 20,000+ children in 858 days.
