🇫🇷 Former French Ambassador to Israel and the US, Gerard Araud: “What is happening in the West Bank right now is an absolute scandal.” “What is actually happening is ethnic cleansing carried out by ‘settler’ Israelis.” “Europe’s silence on this is also a scandal.”

“Two women are killed every week in Australia by a domestic partner or family member. Every eight weeks that death toll equals another Bondi massacre. Australia has never held a national Royal Commission into domestic violence.” #auspol

This is Yaroun in South Lebanon. One of the oldest villages on Earth. Israel has annihilated everything. Every home destroyed. Every sign of civilian life erased. A village that stood for over 3,000 years — wiped off the map.

Football/soccer fans all over the world: Do not come to the U.S. It is not safe and supporting this farce is the same as supporting this evil regime. It's complicity. Stay home, save your money and support your local club: open.substack.com/pub/psychope...

Israel has committed 2,400 violations of the 'ceasefire' deal struck with Hamas in October, Gaza officials say.

Hungary's election shows that Europe is not on an inevitable path toward authoritarian rule, Polish Prime Minister ⁠Donald Tusk said, after the center-right Tisza party ended Viktor Orban's 16-year grip on power.

As Jewish Australians, we are devastated to learn of the Israeli assault on Lebanon yesterday. We urge @albomp.bsky.social and Foreign Minister Wong to speak out against Israel's violent escalation and call on the Government to take decisive action by demanding an immediate ceasefire.

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this. "Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings." ICRC Outraged by Deadly Strikes in Densely Populated Areas

It’s Easter and the US President chose to share this, an unhinged and expletive ridden rant threatening war crimes against the Iranian people. Australians want no part in this and they expect our government to clearly oppose it and organise to prevent it.

Terrifying reality check on Al Jazeera. Israel is systematically detonating and completely destroying entire civilian towns and homes across Southern Lebanon. This is not a war, it is a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing and total erasure of Lebanese communities. Where’s the outrage 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

“There is no glory in being a chronicler of a genocide.” “This fury comes because I poked the bear,” Francesca Albanese said. “Not in one eye, in both eyes.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The Press Club cancelled Pulitzer winner Chris Hedges after he submitted a speech on the killing of Palestinian journalists, then booked Israel's ambassador instead. If you wonder why media reporting on Gaza genocide has been so disappointing this is what they think is normal.

Netanyahu admits the horrifying truth. He explicitly stated that taking everything from the river to the sea is about land acquisition, slaughter, and genocide. Now they are drawing their new border at the Litani River, literally stealing Lebanese territory.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Israeli forces have ENTERED southern Lebanon and are advancing deeper. The Israelis appear to be indiscriminately destroying everything in their path, with the intent of occupying Southern Lebanon.

ZIONIST ISRAEL IS OUT OF CONTROL 🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔 ERASING THE WEST BANK. Israel is tearing through Palestinian towns with a mechanical fury, destroying everything. Making daily life impossible until people are forced out.

Meanwhile, as Trump attempts to cover up his crimes by starting WW3, Israel is still murdering defenceless Palestinians

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Israel. Zionism. Antisemitism. Know the difference. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1b7... Israel is a country. Judaism is a religion. Zionism is an ideology. Some Jews are Zionists. Most Jews are not. The protests are against Zionism. They are not anti Jews or anti Judaism.

Our son, Rohan, is smiling in this photo, but make no mistake, he worked so hard to reach his goal of 100km. @scidocmartin.bsky.social & I couldn't be prouder. www.theage.com.au/national/vic... There's still time to support his fundraiser for mental health 👉 www.mycause.com.au/page/385454/...

This is truly terrifying, like the Nazis we are simply erasing people from existence, and it is happening without anyone questioning it.

Tomorrow, our son will embark on an extraordinary challenge for his 18th birthday. From 4am, he’ll start running towards his ultimate goal of 100km. He hopes to finish well under 10 hours.

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

I asked why the Albanese Government hasn't rejected Trump's invitation to join his so-called "Board of Peace." The UK, France, New Zealand, Germany & others have refused to join, because it is cooked. Minister Wong says Labor is still considering the invite. What's to consider?

Good to see the Israeli President’s non-political goodwill tour conclude with him telling protestors to go stand outside the Iranian embassy. He’ll be leaving us with so much unity and social cohesion we’ll all need a good lie down.

there is however abundant footage of Herzog shouting and screaming at “everyday Melbournites” and “Jewish Australians” in an exceptionally disrespectful display of foreign political interference in the domestic social and political life of his hosts. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

www.9news.com.au/national/isr... So the rules are changed for VicPol but nobody is allowed to know where the changed rules will be applied. How fucking authoritarian is that!

So how's that visit by the Israeli PM going, Albo? 👇 These were people, with lives. And hopes and dreams. And families. 1000s of them, Albo. "Al Jazeera investigation reveals how US-supplied thermal & thermobaric munitions burning at 3,500C have left no trace of nearly 3,000 Palestinians."

Great news. MPs should also pay attention to our campaigns: ● Remove the 26 bishops Religious office should not grant automatic voting rights in a parliamentary democracy. ● Scrap parliamentary prayers Attending prayers should not to provide speaking advantages🧵 observer.co.uk/news/politic...
