"There was nothing the kids could go to or a place they could get food, just to be in a safe space and off the streets."

There will be many in the west who want to take credit for what is and has always been the work of the resistance over 100 years. Reject them. Support the resistance. Support the people. Liberation for the oppressed everywhere. Glory to Palestine.
Let's get to work!

22 deaths in custody in 11 months.
When will Albanese, Attorney-General Dreyfus and the Indigenous Australians Minister Malarndirri McCarthy do something, do anything?
Where is the outrage? Where is the action?

The refusal to sanction Israel, to stop providing essential components to their fighter jets which have dropped 80,000 tonnes of bombs on a trapped civilian population; the decision to give Elbit $920m in the middle of this slaughter, all renders this govt criminally complicit.

thanks to statutory “cautions”, the “diverted” child - a primary school aged kid - police have arrested and charged them already, over a $3 train fare, say, or riding a bike - is now known to police. Known to police is THE determinant of targeted re-criminalisation. BY POLICE.

“oh they were cautioned under the Young Offenders Act” GREAT. Innocent children were forced to make admissions, absent judicial oversight, their protected innocence at law fast tracked into a criminal record, in a police station, under an Act that pre-labels them criminals.

In NSW, Police conduct an average of 550 stop and searches of people and vehicles a day.
20 years ago, that number was 88.
90 per cent of the time, they find nothing.

This is so fucking cruel, disgusting, and utterly outrageous. Shame on the Albanese government. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Glad you’ve gone from concerned to horrified, Minister. You should be. But why don’t you summon the Israeli ambassador? Why don’t you cancel our defence contracts with Israel? Why don’t you restore UNRWA’s funding? Why don’t you actually DO SOMETHING in response to this horror?

Rather than denying Israeli soldiers massacred a crowd of starving Palestinians, Israel’s National Security minister just… admitted it.
Not only admitted it.
Celebrated it.
And used the massacre to justify calling for the little aid getting into Gaza to end altogether.
יש להעניק גיבוי מוחלט ללוחמינו הגיבורים הפועלים בעזה, שפעלו מצוין מול המון עזתי שניסה לפגוע בהם. היום הוכח שהעברת הסיוע ההומניטרי לעזה היא לא רק טירוף בשעה שחטופינו מוחזקים ברצועה בתת תנאים, אלא גם מסכנת את חיילי צה"ל. זו עוד סיבה מובהקת לכך שחייבים להפסיק להעביר את הסיוע הזה, שהוא למעשה סיוע לפגיעה בחיילי צה"ל וחמצן לחמאס.

The US-UK aggression on Yemen’s Sanaa tonight was the most intensive so far, with tens of strikes conducted.
Bombardments targeted civilian neighborhoods and densely populated areas, significant damage in homes reported by local media.

‘ongoing lockdowns’ means kids being held in solitary confinement on a rolling basis. it means no access to education. if a nurse sees you bc you’re sick, it’s through the hatch in a cell door. no fresh air during the mugginess of the wet season. these kids should be free

UN special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs warns countries like Australia that they are "most likely violating their obligations under the Genocide Convention" by cutting funding to UNRWA - @SenatorWong @AlboMP
The day after @ICJ concluded that Israel is plausibly committing Genocide in Gaza, some states decided to defund UNRWA, collectively punishing millions of Palestinians at the most critical time, and most likely violating their obligations under the Genocide Convention.

Wong is meeting with someone who made her mark devising force feeding strategies for Palestinian political prisoners on hunger strike. She submitted false evidence depicting sexual crimes against women on October 7, knowingly providing images of Kurdish victims of ISIS.
