There is a grotesque double standard in rolling out the red carpet for IDF soldiers at the Sydney Marathon, complete with NSW Police protection, while Labor abandons our own Zomi Frankcom & enables Israel. It's a stain on this nation. A total betrayal of Australian values #auspol
How Australia’s media used to report Israeli atrocities.
(with credit to Jose Teixeira)
A 1948 account of the Jewish ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Ronald Monson, Daily Telegraph (Sydney) correspondent in Jerusalem.
The tone of Monson's reporting was remarkably different to much of the Western media reporting from Palestine and Lebanon today.
Monson did not try to downplay Zionist crimes and he humanised the Palestinian victims.
Reporting when journalists were carrying through with their mission, to out the truth and did not succumb to pressure from lobbies with $$$ and threats.
Report:
They massacred Arab babies
From RONALD MONSON
In Jerusalem
Jewish mortar bombs were coming over the Damascus Gate, bursting with shuddering explosions in narrow alleys when I visited the Jacob E. Spofford Memorial Hospital - American institution — close by the Gate today (Wednesday).
I had come to visit the Arab orphans from Deir Yassin. I carried no sweets, because their nurse, Miriam Bedrossian, doesn't think sweets are good for year-old babies.
Miriam had cared for these 15 babies since they were brought to the refuge a few days after the massacre of their parents last March. There were 16, but one died of wounds - aged nine months….
Australian chef Zomi Frankcom left everything behind to feed starving children in Gaza. The IDF killed her. Photos of her body and a bloodied passport were then shared on Telegram channels, celebrated by 125,000 followers.
Remember her name.
Is it intentional NEWS BLACKOUT?!
Since Tuesday, Israeli occupation forces have escalated their attacks in every part of Gaza.
They have been:
▪️killing and wounding people
▪️forcing people out of their homes
▪️destroying homes and other facilities
▪️tightening the blockade
▪️continuing ban on the entry of urgent medicines and medical equipment, in addition to thousands of food items
▪️expanding the area beyond the Yellow Line
▪️targeting policemen
▪️pressing the only five monopolising importers in Gaza to raise prices
▪️carrying out many many other violations..
A few people booed Albanese and his response was to publicly suggest they support an extremist Muslim group he recently banned. Yeah, it couldn’t be his ongoing support for the Epstein Axis massacring our kin in Lebanon and Palestine, no, they must be terrorists or adjacent.
They gang-raped a Palestinian so brutally he was hospitalised. They did it on camera. When footage leaked, and the rapists were arrested, Israelis rioted to protect them. They said they had the right to rape. The Israeli lawyer who leaked the footage was arrested. This is Israel.
A horrific massacre just took place on the Beirut beach and there isn’t a single headline about it in Western media.
There was wall-to-wall coverage of the Bondi Beach attacks.
But Arabs are so dehumanized that Israel can slaughter displaced Lebanese people living in tents on the beach and it doesn’t even make the news.
Another Australian charity found to fund the IDF and illegal settlements in Israel. This one #JNF - probably the biggest.

Some facts:
- It is not “preemptive”
- It is not “preventive”
- It is Illegal
If journalists are not reporting it that way, they are not doing journalism. They are doing propaganda.
In one of the homes that turned into rubble in the Gaza Strip, it wasn’t only memories that were buried… an entire professional history was buried with them.
A journalist who spent years in the field and in training courses, collecting certificates one by one, using them to document his effort and experience… and in a single airstrike, they turned to ashes.
This is not the loss of papers — it is the loss of a path.
The Silent Issue: The Loss of Academic and Professional Certificates
Amid the focus on casualties and destruction, little is said about the thousands of students, graduates, and professionals who have lost:
University degrees
Academic transcripts
Training course certificates (local and international)
Professional accreditation certificates
Archives of work and research
For a journalist, doctor, engineer, or teacher, these documents are not just papers — they are keys to employment, travel, scholarships, and future opportunities.
The Deeper Impact
1. Job opportunities disrupted — Many institutions require certified copies of academic credentials.
2. Barriers to pursuing postgraduate studies.
3. Loss of formal recognition of professional experience.
4. Compounded psychological strain — the feeling that years of hard work disappeared within minutes.
The pain here is different.
To survive death — but lose your professional future.
An Investigative Angle
Do universities and institutions maintain secure digital backups outside Gaza?
What mechanisms exist to issue replacement certificates amid administrative collapse?
What about training courses organized by institutions that have since closed or been damaged?
Are there international initiatives to preserve the academic and professional records of Gazans?
This is not an individual story.
It is a generational crisis that may deprive thousands of the ability to prove their qualifications to the world.
The rubble does not swallow only stone — it swallows years.
And every lost certificate is a story of struggle abruptly interrupted.
We document… because the truth does not die.
Unfortunately, they discussed everything in the interest of the Israeli occupation, and mentioned nothing about ending Israeli -internationally backed- siege on Gaza, entry of food, medicine and other essential stuff into Gaza, or the reconstruction of Gaza..
Yes, they mentioned the reconstruction, but in the context of blackmailing us..
Not fucking good enough. They put this poor woman through hell with the stupidest "antisemitism" charges imaginable. She needs massive financial compensation from both the state AND her accuser, and the laws that allowed prosecutors to do this to her need to be repealed.
Remember when John Curtin invited Himmler around for a state visit because the Australian-German Nazi community demanded him to do so back smack in the middle of WW2?
Nope?
How about that time when Malcolm Fraser invited brother number two from the Cambodian Khmer Rouge regime, to ensure Pro-Khmer invoices felt safe in Australia?
Didn’t happen, did it?
Never forget that @AlboMP shat the bed and invited Israeli president Herzog for a state visit to this country, while Israel commits genocide and twists the arm of the collective West into World War III with Iran.
Never forget that they all tried to silence us and stop us from protesting .
Tax-deductible charities are sending Australian citizens’ money to Israeli military units and settlement projects in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
The UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, says the cost of rebuilding Gaza should be paid not only by Israel but also by the US, Germany, Italy and the UK, as they are the main arms suppliers to Israel.
