Medically… A person who has entered an advanced stage of starvation cannot be saved by food and water alone. Without specialized medical care, death awaits nearby even if they’re suddenly offered lavish meals. This is a body whose systems have collapsed, whose muscles have…
‘Slogans such as "Free Palestine" and "Gaza will be free" have been deemed "antisemitic" in a preliminary SafeWork NSW report into allegations of antisemitism at the University of Sydney. The report, prepared by a SafeWork NSW workplace inspector in February and seen by Deepcut,…
Israel really went from "we would never bomb hospitals" to "there are tunnels under the hospitals" to "Hamas is in the hospitals" to "most of the doctors are terrorists". They just really like bombing hospitals, don't they? x.com/Channel4News/s…
Most doctors in most Gaza hospitals involved in ‘terrorist activities' says Israel Special Trade Envoy
In the interests of national security, child & public safety, should Australian citizens serving in the IDF be investigated for crimes against humanity before being allowed to back into the country?
as the Governor-General gives an opening speech for the new parliament in the Senate, in front of all MPs and senators, Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi is in her seat silently holding up a large sign: "Gaza is starving, words won't feed them, sanction Israel"
WFP Chief Cindy McCain describes how Israel killed over 60 aid-seekers in northern Gaza yesterday. “They were hungry. They were starving,” she said. “All of a sudden, Israeli tanks, Israeli guns, Israeli weapons of all kinds started firing at the crowd.”
Twenty-five Western nations accused Israel of 'drip-feeding' aid to Gaza civilians and condemned the 'horrifying' killings. Yet they have done nothing meaningful to stop it—absolutely nothing.
Gaza is in Phase 5 starvation — the deadliest stage. 2.3 million people, half of them children, are facing irreversible body damage from multi-organ failure, brain damage, and sudden death from hunger. This isn’t a warning. It’s happening — now. Without immediate aid, mass…

You listed every atrocity you could find, Eli. Not to mourn them. Not to honor them. But to bury Gaza beneath them. 5.5 million killed in Congo. 500,000 in Syria. 400,000 in Yemen. And all you offer is a yawn. Not a prayer. Not a pause. Not a moment of human grief. You…
5.5M killed in Congo 🥱 500K killed in Syria 🥱 500K killed in Sudan 🥱 400K killed in Yemen 🥱 300K killed in Iraq 🥱 250K killed in Afghanistan 🥱 50K killed in Gaza (vast majority terrorists): GENOCIDE!!! 😱 No Jews, no news.
"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population
People in Sudan are boiling weeds with salt water because there’s nothing else to eat. One teacher even wrote a love poem to a wild plant that kept him and others alive. Let that sink in. The world has failed Sudan like no other. #KeepEyesOnSudan #EyesOnDarfur #EyesOnNuba
#Sudan: Food insecurity is severe in Kordofan, Nuba Mountains, & Darfur, with areas like El Fasher and Zamzam camp being inaccessible, said @NRC_Norway's @AgnesMaiV. Many survive on just one meal a day, and some resort to sucking on coal to ease hunger. 🔗apnews.com/article/sudan-…
Activist are still on the roof of EOS weapons factory in Canberra. EOS you can’t hide your supplying genocide. 6 people still locked on. STOP ARMING ISRAEL FREE PALESTINE! #shutitdown
If you were in a personal crisis, you would want immediate, urgent lifesaving intervention. And yet, the world’s governments are seeing the starving, bombed, hunted people of Gaza and responding with statements. Gaza needs URGENT intervention. Imagine the bush fires in NSW a…
Amazing!!!
🔴 BREAKTHROUGH: Two Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in #Gaza were Arrested and interrogated at #Tomorrowland after a joint complaint by the #HindRajabFoundation & @GLAN_LAW. This is historical! More info ⬇️ hindrajabfoundation.org/perpetrators/b… #JusticeForGaza #NoSafeHaven…
The Pope should go to Gaza, and bring aid in. He should dare the Israelis to block him. Words, no matter how heartfelt, will not save a single starving child.
Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and…
You know who dies first in famines? Kids, orphans, people with disabilities or illnesses, people without familial support networks (because Israel killed their families). You know what we've started seeing? Grown men in the prime of their lives dying.
