I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

He was holding a phone not a gun, his crime? Opposing the regime. So they murdered him.

I am ashamed that our Australian Govt has made our nation complicit in Israel's genocide. The Albanese Govt refuses to rebuke or sanction Israel for its horrific crimes, profits from arms sales to Israel, and has enacted legislation to try to silence any criticism of Israel. #auspol #FreePalestine

Children screaming and crying can be heard as a possible uprising is underway at the ICE Children's Concentration Camp in Dilley, TX (1/24/26).
