Israel has invaded Lebanon for the sixth time in 48 years. Al Jazeera’s Hala Al Shami takes us through a history of invasions and resistance.

Dan is an Australian citizen. He has lived in Australia since 2002 and became an Australian citizen in 2012. ​​

There are no Australian charges against him. The extradition charge is completely flawed. ​​

He took a job in South Africa in 2012 and worked a mere 18 hours training civilian test pilots. He reported all his earnings to the ATO.  ​​

Why would the Australian government send an Australian citizen to be at the mercy of a foreign government?​​

Please help this family in their fight to bring Dan home:​​ https://t.co/93c15Gd7FL

Während die Selenskyj-Regierung mit großem Tamtam dem ukrainischen Nazi-Kollaborateur Andrij Melnyk huldigt, wollen deutsche Regierungspolitiker weitere Milliarden an Steuergeld nach Kiew verschenken. Schließlich verteidigt die Ukraine ja auch „unsere Werte“, wie man uns seit Jahren weismachen will. Die rechtsradikalen Umtriebe und der offene Nazi-Kult in der ukrainischen Regierung interessieren die ansonsten so umtriebigen „Kämpfer gegen rechts“ dabei herzlich wenig. Mehr Doppelmoral geht nicht. Schluss damit! Keinen Cent mehr für die Ukraine!

BREAKING

Its not just the US and UAE, Australia also providing 'defensive' military support to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar.

The Albanese Labor Government cannot pretend we are not involved Trump and Netanyahu's war of choice when we up to our neck in it.

@PeterCronau @jommy_tee We live in an Empire of Lies,governed by unblinking,overpaid liars.Thanks again,Senator Shoebridge. Do you get overtime pay? How many of your senate colleagues,the 88% absentee one definitely included,even put in the hours, let alone the effort?

The bunkum about our submariners staying in their cabins on the US submarine during the sinking of the Iranian ship, came from a senior ASPI ‘expert’ on ABC Radio.

▪️No-one in government or in the Navy moved to correct this lie.

▪️Now it emerges the Australian submariners were on-station and on-duty — attending to ‘damage control’ during the attack.

▪️Despite earlier denials, the Australian submariners were playing a part in the submarine attack that sank the Iranian ship killing more than 80 young Iranian sailors.

▪️👇. And it was hidden from the public — until today. Thanks due to @DavidShoebridge in Senate Estimates.

Charlie Angus: "Israel's announced that they're going to go ahead with the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. This is a war crime ... Either the international rule of law stands for something or it's a joke. Either we have the Statute of Rome and we hold gangster criminal regimes to account, or hey, you can do what you want, because the next country will do what they want. That can't be allowed to happen."

Jane Hume skewered as she scrambles to avoid choosing between first-home buyers & investors.
PK doesn’t let it go, then when cornered, “that’s a ridiculous question.” 🙄 Yikes.

She’ll be now praying no one sees this pathetic display, esp people locked out of housing. #auspol

Today, Murray Watt informed the Tasmanian Government that he will gazette a bilateral agreement with Tasmania to allow ongoing logging destruction. This is not what the community wants. Australians want native forests protected. #politas

Today Labor takes the next step to deliver another two tax cuts for working Australians.

And the Liberals, Nationals and One Nation are opposing it.

We’re for every Australian to get ahead, not just some.

Israel was meant to fully withdraw its troops from Gaza under the ceasefire signed in October. Instead of pulling back, Israeli forces are expanding and entrenching heavily fortified positions across the enclave.

After assassinating Khamanei’s wife, father, sister and baby niece, Trump casually says he’d like to meet him, thinks they’re getting along quite well.

Starting to think Trump might actually be a sociopath. This is not normal.

Finland knew about the impending Ukrainian drone attack on St. Petersburg, Finnish Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen said.

Aiding and abetting terrorism is also terrorism.

The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

İtalya'nın 75'ten fazla kentinde, İsrail'in tamamen boykot edilmesi ve tüm bağların koparılması talebiyle ülke çapında genel grev düzenlendi.

▪️İtalya, Başbakanı Meloni'nin Filistin Devleti'ni tanımayı reddetmesinin ardından Filistin destekçisi kalabalıklar sokaklara indi.

▪️Milano, Napoli, Floransa ve Torino gibi büyük şehirlerin sokakları milyonlarca protestocuyla doldu.

▪️Ülkede ulaşım, eğitim, lojistik ve diğer sektörleri etkileyen ve çok sayıda işçi sendikasının katıldığı genel grev nedeniyle 24 saat boyunca felç oldu.

▪️Filistin yanlısı liman işçileri, İsrail'e silah gönderilmesini engellemek için önemli limanlara erişimi engelleyerek birçok bölgede lojistiğin durmasına yol açtı.

▪️Milano'da ise polisin merkez istasyon yakınlarında göstericilerle çatışması ve kalabalığı kontrol altına almak için göz yaşartıcı gaz kullanması sonucu sokaklarda kaos yaşandı.

Protestocular şunları talep etti:
1) Filistin Devleti'nin tanınması.
2) İsrail'e silah satışlarının durdurulması.
3) Netanyahu hükümetine yaptırımlar.
4) Gazze'deki soykırımın sona ermesi.
