MTC has engaged in horrendous brutality and corruption in global operations and the Albanese Government is secretly giving them more money to brutalise just over 100 people on Nauru. The cost of this cruelty is unimaginable.

Greta Thunberg: “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.” #SumudFlotilla #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Horrific: Doctors Without Borders is suspending medical work in Gaza City due to Israel's violence, including airstrikes & tanks less than 1KM from their facilities. Comes same day Netanyahu used his UN speech to scold dozens of nations for accusing him of committing war crimes.

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Here's me. "The Yanks are cooked (and cooking the rest of us)"

The Sumud flotilla receiving Spanish, Italian, and Greek naval support is the only piece of news out of the UN, out of anywhere, really, the last little while, that feels at all hopeful. Anglosphere leaders were predictably horrid this week, but serious countries are starting to do more than talk.

"Any risk we could be subjected to is, of course, nothing to what Palestinians are risking every day, just trying to survive." Climate activist Greta Thunberg, currently abroad the Global Sumud Flotilla, shares why she is part of the mission to break Gaza's siege.

Are we supposed to be impressed? Proud? This is what our foreign policy has become. Absolutely fckin ridiculous.

Deakin University Professor Euan Ritchie slammed the target as "grossly inadequate" and said it would jeopardise the survival and wellbeing of Australians. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907378...

Another sign of the moral bankruptcy of western governments. Not only will they do nothing to stop a genocide, they will do nothing to protect their own citizens who are trying to break a genocidal blockade.

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

Deeply concerned about reports of drones above the Sumud flotilla and their radios being jammed following escalating threats from Israel. Australia needs to call for the safety of the flotilla and all those on board.

Exclusive: distinguished Prof Fiona Stanley was ‘ashamed’ after the hospital named after her abruptly cancelled an event featuring Palestinian-Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza, and says she even considered asking the hospital to remove her name

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Formal recognition of the state of Palestine overnight is a welcome step but we must also listen to the experts outlining what further steps Australia & other nations must take to prevent the ongoing genocide in Gaza. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

This is all very well, but immediate sanctions and a condemnation of the genocide Israel *is currently committing* would go a lot further

Just truly superb coverage of @sundayofaction.bsky.social Sun Day in the NYTimes. Solar Power is People Power! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/c...

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

Australia's universities are blighted by a "culture of consequence-free, rotten failure", according to the former chair of a senate inquiry examining governance at public universities. ... "There's no other sector in the country where failure is rewarded so handsomely and with so little scrutiny."

All eyes on the Global Sumud Flotilla. Israel is escalating its rhetoric, gearing up for something major. Diplomatic pressure can make a difference. This is the moment to pressure our governments to stand up for the right to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians being deliberately starved.

@albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social live genocide on your watch, yet not even a word from either one of you. Shame on you, shame on your complicity. #FreePalestine

Deeply disturbed by the apparently normalised class of person that hasn't said anything about 680,000 murdered Palestinians but is very upset about one Nazi podcast host.

Deeply honoured to be informed I'm on a block list called "Monitoring Anti-Jewish Rhetoric and Misinformation" "This list features accounts that have shared harmful narratives and misinformation about Israel" Laughable - but also thrilled to be blocked from their twisted, fantasy view of the world

What a series of subheadings that add up to 'capitalism will incentivise genocide forever'

21st century Britain where it's illegal to project an image on a wall but not illegal to supply weapons to mass murdering genocidal psychopaths

What is the threshold for sanctioning PM Netanyahu and his govt?! Signatories to the genocide convention like 🇦🇺 must take action in the face of genocide, including taking measures to stop it. The global community has to do more. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

"Doesn't the Genocide Convention say that other countries have to therefore step in to stop the genocide?” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social speaks with two of the UN commissioners behind the shocking new report, which admits that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Things you can’t say in Australian media or large cultural institutions:

Not something the Royal Melbourne Children’s Hospital management will allow to be discussed:

Again and again: free speech silenced at the behest of an organised pro-Israel lobby group by weak-kneed management. If people don’t stand up to this pressure there won’t be a single institution left in which anyone can talk about the genocide in Gaza.

No-one was MAKING staff go to this session. If anyone felt unsafe hearing about children’s health during war, they could have just …. chosen not to attend. It was obviously cancelled to ensure NO-ONE would talk about it.

Says the same Minister whose government keeps approving one carbon bomb after the another like the North West Shelf. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The WA Museum Director's letter to staff defending the Woodside partnership contains a grab bag of climate action delaying arguments. He goes: we all burn fossil fuels after all. Classic blame shifting away from companies. Blaming people for existing in a world they want to change.

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide. The German state is a disgrace. It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide. It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Can you IMAGINE the obscene jail sentences that would've been rushed through parliament in the space of hours, had climate protesters done something even close to this www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

44 experts from 15 countries issued a stark warning about the dangers of crossing an ocean circulation tipping point. I had the honor to present it to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson yesterday. #AMOC Full letter with signatories: en.vedur.is/media/ads_in...

#BREAKING | Spontaneous protest in front of the IDF Chief house - AGAINST the GENOCIDE WATCH 👇

"any goal north of 60 per cent will require a major expansion of emissions reductions in the transport, industrial and agricultural sectors" yep that is the entire point????????????????????????????????????????????? www.afr.com/policy/energ...

Israel did this with our tax dollars while the world made excuses for them WE NEED THIS TO END

We've all seen Israel do the most depraved shit imaginable, commit the worst atrocities human are capable of. We've seen it thousands of times, not just journalists, everyone paying attention and not a lying sell out. And now they're trying to convince you Iran is the problem.

Australia racing ahead in the Incrementalism Olympics once again

What possible explanation could there be here that would justify this reutersagency.com/media-centre...

Fossil fuel extractors fight tooth and nail to prevent market forces from operating. They demand the equivalent of the royal monopolies once granted by the Crown, excluding competitors, enabling old technologies to fend off newer ones. Trump answers the call. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We'll expel an ambassador from one country based on secret 'credible evidence'; but not the ambassador of another country openly committing a genocide. Tell me our government is compromised without telling me our government is compromised.

Look, I get sending home the ambassador of a country you believe was responsible for hate crimes in your soil. But why the fuck is the ambassador of the country literally committing genocide still here? Do we somehow care about hate crimes when... #DoubleStandards #auspol #SanctionTheWarCriminal

We're all trying to find the guy who did this... thank you @amyremeikis.bsky.social
