Brilliant piece by Robert Manne: essential reading for all Australians and those living here.

Let’s call it what it is: ▪️ Gaza is being genocided — by Israel. ▪️ The U.S. and its allies are enabling it. ▪️ Every major Western leader is complicit. ▪️ The media has sanitized the horror. ▪️ No spin can excuse this.

Remember when then AG Mark Dreyfus proudly met Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin—after Levin defended IDF soldiers as doing 'holy-work' when gang-raping a Palestinian man, leaving him close to death? medium.com/@abrahamedward…

Stop Israel from carrying out its final solution in Gaza, now! Any and all means are necessary ASAP to stop this Holocaust.

The initial images of emaciated children came out of Gaza in April! They waited all this time till we reached the irreversible stage 5 of malnutrition to report on Israel’s forced starvation of Palestinians. The 100s of children who have already died and thousands who will die…

The entire stadium erupts: “F*ck you Israel, Viva Palestine!” 🔥

Labor offering an avg $5K HECs discount after the Coalition hiked some Uni fees by $25K is like stealing your car and handing back the fluffy dice. “See? All sorted!” Of course it’s welcome - but like all of modern Labor - chronically unambitious. #Insiders

#Insiders Not much of a role in the Middle East. It’s the region where Australians have served for over 100 years. Australian Peacekeepers have been serving in Israel, Syria, Lebanon and the Occupied Territories since the late 40s. They are still there today. Lest we forget

Iraq, Syria, Niger, Afghanistan, Uganda - this is just a handful of the States that have had insurgents controlling some of their territory at any given point. It has nothing to do with their status as a State. "But Hamas" is not an argument against Palestinian statehood.

This interview on Gaza with @AlboMP reminded me of the Dracula movie where the deranged Renfield describes Dracula as his “master”. We should stop doing a Renfield towards the US and Israel and behave with courage, dignity and morality. #Insiders

What is not unique about the genocide in Gaza is that world leaders — the only people with the means to stop it — have known about Israel’s actions, and its intentions, since day one. And they have done close to nothing to stop it. 972mag.com/gaza-genocide-…

Why has it taken so long for Albo to get to this point? The brutal killings and deliberate starvation of Palestinians by the Netanyahu govt have been going on for months and months. Why only words even now? #insiders #auspol #GazaGenocide‌ #GazaStarving

Albo you don’t need to be a lawyer to know that Israel has breached international law. Genocide, ethnic cleansing, starving ,murdering and mutilating innocent civilians and children is illegal. #Insiders

It’s time for the Australian Prime Minister to call it a genocide, to stop saying Israel has a right to defend itself when it is an Occupying Power and to ensure Australia complies with its legal obligations under international law. Currently, we are not. #insiders #auspol

So disgusting, @AlboMP after years of supporting a Palestinian state has capitulated to Trump and Netanyahu. Says we will make a decision based on “time”, what does that mean? Be strong, be independent and true to your past principles. #Insiders

An Israeli air drop landed on a tent crushing a starving family underneath. Meanwhile Israeli navy just hijacked the #Handala an aid ship to Gaza carrying baby formula. Lift the damn siege. End Israeli domination and annihilation of Palestinian lives — that’s the only solution.

"A mother pressed a final kiss to what remained of her 5-month-old daughter and wept. Esraa Abu Halib’s baby now weighed less than when she was born." "The baby was brought to the pediatric department of Nasser Hospital on Friday. She was already dead."

Today, the Israeli Air Force dropped ‘aid’ over Gaza,parachutes descending into a city hollowed by hunger. The starving clashed, stabbed, and trampled for a bag of food. Some died with bread in their hands,not from bombs, but from a war against dignity. This was never mercy. It…
