Our viral front page today was very simple. We told the facts about Donald Trump, a man who doesn't like the facts 👇 https://t.co/6ey2hzKq52

@piersmorgan I'm gonna join the chorus of people stating the bleeding obvious: because of denialist, obfuscating pricks like you covering up a holocaust.

"So, let me say that I’ve been working on this field of famine, food crisis and humanitarian action for more than 40 years, and there is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today."

For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

17 hours after its unlawful seizure and capture, the #Madleen crew remains held offshore, reportedly near Ashdod. I call on:
– Israel to release them immediately, and let them sail unimpeded to Gaza;
– The UK to act under its Article 94 UNCLOS duties as flag-state to ensure the safety of the crew;
– Crew members’ home states (Brazil, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Turkey), to intervene to ensure the safety of their citizens.

There is no legal basis for Israel’s actions. All states must uphold their obligations under the Genocide Convention—to prevent further acts of genocide and end Israel’s impunity.

It should never have fallen to ordinary citizens to do what states refuse to.

This major party budget bidding war to buy votes has to stop - yes people need help with cost-of-living but they also want reform to tackle the root causes of the big challenges we face.

I had a word to say against the lack of international support for Palestinian journalists

@MarshSongs @QueenWillRock So so brilliant ❤️

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

In short, Israel is:
an Apartheid state
occupying Gaza
illegally annexing the WB
violating self-determination

This is illegal, so it must:
end the occupation
fully repair/compensate Palestinians, including through right of return & dismantelling settlements

Incredible

@TheKouk The commentary of a mindless hack.

Also, it's acumen. An attribute you lack.

Important investigative pieces by @DeclassifiedAus cited in the @BirchgroveLegal referral to the ICC. A clear demonstration of the importance of independent media in Australia.

"Omitting the context of 75 years of dehumanization, displacement, house theft, destruction, robbery, ethnic cleansing and murder at the hands of Israel, makes the Netherlands not only complicit in the dehumanization of the Palestinians, but also in the legitimization of illegal colonial settlements. And by allowing this for decades, the Netherlands – in collaboration with European and American allies – has single-handedly placed Israel above the law. With dire consequences. Every person that falls victim, is a victim of colonialism. And once more, the Netherlands is also to blame."
