It has been 2 years, 8 months, and 12 days since Israel last allowed the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit Palestinians held in its prisons and detention centers, where torture, rape, and other forms of abuse are systematically carried out against detainees. 🎥 Al Jazeera’s documentary Bodies of Evidence documents Israel’s state-sanctioned torture system and the treatment of Palestinians in Israeli custody.

The Israeli government relies on US weapons to illegally occupy Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian land and to carry out a genocide in Gaza and a sweeping campaign of ethnic cleansing across the West Bank. Tell Congress to FUND PEOPLE, NOT BOMBS. jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/fund-…

The Israeli military is illegally occupying over 386 square miles of land that stretches across Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria. This is an area larger than New York City. The LA Times reports that, “in Gaza and Lebanon, Israeli land seizures and evacuation warnings have pushed out more than 3 million people, and troops have demolished towns and neighborhoods, creating large, depopulated zones.” The Israeli government is ever-extending its illegal buffer zones to occupy increasingly large swathes of Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian land.

I couldn’t help but think of my grandparents during Hanson’s address. They came to Australia with no English and set up a cafe in Adelaide. They contributed so much to the fabric of society, as did all the Greeks who settled there. Shame on Hanson for demonising migrants. #NPC

We're not crying, you're crying 🥹🇦🇺 Socceroos winger Awer Mabil just dropped the most special message at the World Cup. After the squad made a viral video about where they come from, the winger - who was born in a Kenyan refugee camp - explains what makes Australia 'the best country in the world': 'Many different backgrounds. One jersey.' This is what the Socceroos are all about. In Refugee Week, these are beautiful words from a special footballer and person.

Willcox strikes again. 👏👏
