A Scar is Also Skin. it’s all there.
Also from the @nytimes- ‘We are committing genocide,’ says Israeli minister.
It's not just that Israel is imposing a policy of starvation on Gazans; it's also that the U.S. is underwriting this horror and is utterly complicit in it, in both the Biden and Trump administrations. nytimes.com/2025/07/24/opi…
Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.
I mean, yeah, Epstein, Gaza, tariffs…but if I secured an interview with Trump I’d have to ask him about how he think capitalisation works

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Minister Amichay Eliyahu does not speak for the government I lead. He is not a member of the Security Cabinet that determines the conduct of the war.
Australia cannot stop this but we can no longer be complicit. Sanctions now.
"Some of us drink salt water just to remain standing while we work. Others chew dried herbs or wild leaves to quiet the screaming inside... the hunger scrambles everything—thought, memory, even language." cjr.org/news/journalis…
The last time the WFP tried to deliver aid, on July 20, the IDF opened fire on aid seekers who swarmed the trucks, killing many. On July 21, they paused deliveries so as not to get more people killed by the IDF. We all watched Israel lead a global campaign to shut down UNRWA…
Nearly 950 aid trucks are waiting at the border, ready to support the people of Gaza. So who’s holding them back? The UN. While Israel facilitates the entry of humanitarian aid and the GHF delivers it directly to civilians in Gaza, the UN is obstructing the efficient flow of…
Can't imagine what might be holding them back?

In April, 80% of Gaza was listed as IPC Phase 4 (emergency) or IPC 5 (famine). Now it's much worse. No other country listed was close to those levels of hunger, including Sudan.
Why don't you care about these millions of starving children? 👇 You care about Gazans only because of your antisemitism. No Jews, no news. P.S. There is no starvation in Gaza. See @GHFUpdates for accurate information.
I mentioned this day was rapidly approaching. It is now here. A drone intercepting a drone carrying interceptor drones that target drones.
Australia sells weapons to Israel, buys weapons from Israel, keeps open an Israeli defence office in Canberra and allows Australians to serve in the IDF. This statement means nothing.
A new statement on the war in Gaza from the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,…

When Elbit, an Israeli company deeply involved in Israel's genocide in Gaza, won a $900m defence contract, the Albanese government insisted it had nothing to do with it. Documents we've obtained from Defence shows that's bullshit. crikey.com.au/2025/07/18/elb…
May Blinken be harangued with questions about Gaza for the rest of his wretched life
Amanpour challenged former Secretary of State Blinken on whether the U.S. has enabled Israeli war crimes by shielding it diplomatically and militarily, despite claiming to oppose civilian suffering. She highlighted here the disconnect between private U.S. frustrations and public…
Welcome to the resistance…Rupert Murdoch?
Trump writes on Truth Social that when he personally told Rupert Murdoch that the WSJ story was not true, "Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so." Trump says he's going to sue WSJ -- and Rupert Murdoch.
You’d have to imagine @MurdochCadell would find this story interesting.
This story had been suppressed on ‘nationals security grounds.’ That sounds familiar. In the UK, as it is in Australia, might the biggest national security threat be a lack of transparency and a lack of independent investigation?
