It's hard to focus on Israel's airstrikes in Lebanon due to Israel's invasion of Syria, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's atrocities in the West Bank, which are hard to focus on due to Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's war on Iran.

In 2011 I went to the Burrup Peninsula to interview archaeologist Ken Mulvaney about the world significance of the Aboriginal rock art and the threat of industry. This is just part of the destruction the ALP has just approved with Woodside’s extension. https://t.co/oblGFNFVd3

Biden deciding to airdrop food into Gaza likely signals three things: - The US government is aware of the horrific scale of Israel’s man made famine and the human cost on Gazans, and wants to distance itself from Israel’s policy of using starvation as a tactic, at least

Read this sentence. Then reread it. Then ask yourself how anyone is ok with this level of human suffering.
More than 10 children per day, on average, have lost one or both of their legs in Gaza since conflict erupted three months ago - @Save_GlobalNews Lifetimes of pain management and medical care will be needed https://t.co/jVb25cR5k2

We’ve all seen the photos of arrested men taken from Gaza. Handcuffed. Stripped. Blindfolded. Now @haaretzcom newspaper is reporting that “a number of detainees died while being held” at a detention facility in Israel's south. @IntlCrimCourt @KarimKhanQC

Thank you @MichaelWestBiz. Good to have further evidence of the routine harassment and intimidation deployed by @LeiblerMark & Co. Laughable for him to think they “undoubtedly moderated” my “behaviour.” My record on truth telling speaks for itself - I refused to be intimidated.

Israel's award-winning journalist Amira Hass breaks down as she tries to put into words the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, Israel's plan for even greater slaughter, and the world's indifference
Veteran Haaretz journalist Amira Hass has reported from the Occupied Palestinian Territories for decades and says the Israeli public is "drunk with the will to take revenge" on Palestinians, spurred on by a far-right government dominated by "extreme fascist settlers."

That so many Australians will vote for a Gov that is allowing a country to literally burn, refuses to fix aged care, covers up abuse of women, detains refugees forever, demonises trans people, leaves more than a million in poverty & won’t embrace the Uluru Statement so appalls me

Laura Tingle at #NPC: “It’s traditional for the PM & opposition leader to give their final major addresses of the campaign to the Press Club… Morrison becomes the first PM in over 50 years to not give such an address. We wish him well on Saturday, as we do our speaker today”
