Aussie Protesters Condemn IDF Participation at Sydney Marathon

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered along the Sydney Marathon route on Sunday, condemning the presence of a delegation reported to include current and former Israeli soldiers and military associates. Around 40 Israelis were reported to have travelled to Australia as part of the delegation, with members linked to the IDF’s Golani Brigade and Unit 8200. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and questioned why people with Israeli military backgrounds were able to enter Australia and participate alongside thousands of ordinary runners, amid continuing allegations of serious violations by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The timing has added to the anger. Just days earlier, Israel announced it would not pursue criminal proceedings over the 2024 drone strikes that killed Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and six of her World Central Kitchen colleagues. Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the decision fell “far short” of the accountability Australia expected, while Frankcom’s family continues to demand an independent investigation. For protesters, the contrast was stark: an Australian humanitarian worker was killed by Israeli forces without criminal charges being brought, while people connected to the same military were able to enter Australia and take part in one of Sydney’s biggest public sporting events.

NSW Police Could Soon Unlock Your Phone Without a Warrant

NSW Police stop your car. They seize your phone. And they order you to unlock it. Refuse, and you could face up to seven years in prison. Under the current law, police need a search or crime scene warrant before they can compel you to open a device. The Minns government's bill 2026 unlinks Digital Evidence Access Orders from warrants entirely, allowing police to apply for an order "where a device has been lawfully seized during an arrest, roadside stop or other lawful detention." The government says it applies only to prescribed offences linked to organised crime, and it lifts the maximum penalty for refusing from five years to seven.

Once a phone is unlocked, police connect it to Cellebrite, Israeli forensics technology used by police and intelligence agencies worldwide. It doesn't read your phone. It downloads it: WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram messages, search history, call logs, contacts, location and metadata, including deleted content. FOI documents on the NSW Police website show 160 Cellebrite kits deployed across the state, and roughly 30,800 phones scanned in three financial years. As the bill moves forward, the debate will centre on whether expanding police access to our phones comes at too great a cost to privacy and civil liberties.

IDF Commander Nochi Mendel Ordered the Drone Strike that Killed Seven Aid Workers

IDF Colonel Nochi Mendel has publicly confirmed that he ordered the Israeli drone attack that killed Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and six of her World Central Kitchen colleagues in Gaza in April 2024. The convoy was hit in three separate strikes over four minutes, despite its humanitarian role being coordinated with Israeli authorities. Mendel, who was later removed from his position over failures surrounding the attack, told the ABC he was the commander who gave the order and said he was “not sorry” for his decision. Israel’s military has since decided not to pursue a criminal investigation or further action against those involved.

Ratko Mladić, the Bosnian Serb military commander known as the ‘Butcher of Bosnia,' has died aged 84 while serving a life sentence for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Mladić died on Thursday while hospitalised in The Hague, where he remained in UN custody.

Mladić commanded Bosnian Serb forces during the 1992–95 war and was convicted over the Srebrenica genocide, where more than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were systematically killed in July 1995. He was also convicted over the campaign of terror against civilians during the siege of Sarajevo and the forcible removal of Bosniaks and Croats from Serb-claimed territory.

An Israeli military quadcopter reportedly opened fire on Palestinian children collecting water in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, this morning. The children were pushing jerrycans on a trolley during a water distribution when the drone began shooting towards them, highlighting the dangers Palestinian children continue to face while carrying out even the most basic tasks needed for survival.

Pro-Israel Groups Urge Australian Authorities to Block Comedian Bassem Youssef from Entering the Country

Egyptian-American comedian Bassem Youssef has postponed his Australian and New Zealand tour after Australian authorities requested additional background checks as part of his visa process. Youssef said he was asked to provide an FBI criminal record check from the United States as well as documentation from Egypt, a country he left 12 years ago. The delay follows lobbying from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, which confirmed in June that it had urged the Department of Home Affairs to deny Youssef a visa over his outspoken commentary and jokes about Israel and Gaza. Home Affairs has declined to comment on his case.

The scrutiny has prompted questions over Australia's approach to entry requirements, particularly as up to 40 current and former Israeli military personnel and associates are reportedly expected to enter Australia for the Sydney Marathon on August 27th. Some members of the delegation have reported links to Israeli military units, while Australian UN investigator Chris Sidoti has previously called for Israeli personnel who served in Gaza to face questioning over possible war crimes. Youssef, meanwhile, has visited Australia without incident and says he intends to reschedule his shows once he secures the required documents.

YOU MUST NOT USE THAT WORD! ⛔️

Former President of ECAJ, Nina Bassat claimed yesterday that she gets “most worked up” over the use of the word “genocide” in relation to Gaza.

Meanwhile, the world’s leading association of genocide scholars have declared that Israel is in fact committing genocide in Gaza.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars passed a resolution on 31 August 2025. Explicitly declaring that: "Israel's policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)," and additionally that Israel's actions "constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity as defined in international humanitarian law and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court."

More than 20 actors connected to the Marvel universe, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, have joined an international campaign demanding the release of imprisoned Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouti. The actors signed a statement expressing “grave concern” over his continued imprisonment, alleged violent mistreatment and denial of legal rights, calling on the United Nations and governments worldwide to push for his release. Barghouti, a senior Fatah figure and one of the most prominent Palestinian leaders, has been held by Israel for more than two decades. The wider Free Marwan campaign now has the backing of more than 200 figures from film, music, literature and public life.

The appeal comes amid serious allegations about Barghouti's treatment inside Israeli prisons. His lawyer said earlier this year that he had been subjected to three violent assaults within weeks, including an incident in which guards allegedly entered his cell with a dog that repeatedly attacked him. In another incident in April, Barghouti was allegedly severely beaten, left bleeding for more than two hours and denied medical treatment. His lawyer has described the incidents as part of an escalating pattern of violence and medical neglect, while Barghouti has reportedly spent prolonged periods in solitary confinement since October 2023. The allegations have intensified international concern over the 67-year-old's safety as calls for his release continue to grow.

Israeli military personnel are expected to be among a delegation travelling to Australia for the Sydney Marathon on August 30, including members linked to the IDF’s Golani Brigade. As many as 40 former and current Israeli soldiers and associates are reportedly expected to take part in the visit, which is being promoted by the Zionist Council of NSW as a “peace delegation” and is reportedly sponsored by the council and the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC). The visit comes amid calls from Australian UN human rights investigator Chris Sidoti for Israeli military personnel who served in Gaza to face questioning over potential war crimes.

The reported presence of Golani Brigade members is particularly significant given the brigade’s connection to the March 2025 killing of Palestinian emergency workers in Rafah. Troops from the Golani Brigade’s reconnaissance unit were involved in the incident in which 15 Palestinian rescue and humanitarian workers were killed, and their bodies were later recovered from a mass grave. The victims included eight Palestinian Red Crescent medics, six Civil Defence workers and a UN employee.

The planned visit is likely to intensify scrutiny over whether Australia should permit Israeli military personnel who have served during the war in Gaza to enter the country, particularly as allegations of serious violations of international law continue to be investigated.

A child in Gaza has been filmed tearfully tearing apart his kites after Israeli leaders threatened intensified military action over kites flown from the territory, a striking image of how even the simplest moments of childhood have become overshadowed by fear. Reports from Gaza describe children being told by their families to stop flying kites following warnings from Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who ordered the military to respond “forcefully and immediately” to kite and balloon launches. The Israeli military had earlier acknowledged that four kites recovered after crossing into Israel contained nothing suspicious and posed no danger to the public.

The fear comes as Israeli strikes continue across Gaza. On Sunday, Israeli airstrikes killed Palestinians, including a four-year-old boy, with Israel saying the attacks came in response to launches of drones, balloons and kites, among other stated targets and threats. For Gaza’s children, the episode is another reminder of a childhood shaped by war: a kite, normally a symbol of play, freedom and innocence, has become something children can fear flying.

An Israeli airstrike has targeted a water desalination plant in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, cutting off a vital source of drinking water for thousands of Palestinians, including displaced families. The strike comes as Gaza’s water infrastructure has already been devastated, leaving communities increasingly dependent on desalination plants, wells and humanitarian deliveries.

Gaza’s water system was already under extraordinary pressure, with UNICEF reporting that 1.1 million children face daily uncertainty over access to water. The loss of another functioning facility increases the risk of families turning to unsafe or contaminated sources. With Palestinians already forced to ration scarce water between drinking, cooking and basic hygiene, further shortages threaten to deepen disease and an already severe public-health crisis.

NSW Police Push Back Against Minns Plan to Arm Jewish Security Guards

NSW Premier Chris Minns is facing criticism after backing consideration of a trial that would allow members of the Community Security Group (CSG), a private Jewish security organisation, to carry firearms while protecting Jewish events in public spaces. The proposal follows the deadly Bondi attack and concerns over rising antisemitism, but senior NSW Police figures have warned against expanding the role of armed private groups, arguing that public protection should remain the responsibility of police and that granting special armed powers to one community could create perceptions of favouritism and further social division.

The proposal also raises questions about whether security policy should be applied consistently across Australia's religious communities. Muslim Australians and other faith communities have faced threats, hate crimes and attacks, including security concerns around mosques and Islamic institutions. Critics argue that rather than creating an armed private security model specifically for one religious community, the NSW Government should ensure that police protection and security resources are available according to assessed threats, regardless of faith. With NSW Police having raised objections, Minns' willingness to pursue the proposal has intensified debate over equal treatment, public accountability and who should have the authority to carry firearms in public spaces.

Mark Ruffalo is pushing back against Paramount after the company accused him of antisemitic rhetoric following his criticism of the Ellison family, Oracle and the proposed $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Ruffalo argues that challenging the policies of the Israeli government, questioning corporate relationships with Israel, or scrutinising the business decisions of Jewish executives is not the same as hostility towards Jewish people. He has also emphasised his deep respect for Jewish friends and colleagues while insisting that his views stem from his political and humanitarian convictions.

A man in a Spider-Man costume was caught on camera striking far-right activist Jake Lang during a tense standoff at a rally outside Minneapolis City Hall on Saturday. Footage from the scene showed the masked counter-protester scaling a vehicle tied to Lang's group before throwing the punch, as demonstrators and rally-goers clashed nearby.

The clash unfolded as Lang, a prominent far-right figure known for his anti-Muslim rhetoric, staged a rally that drew a sizeable counter-protest. Minneapolis police said two vehicles connected to Lang's group mounted the sidewalk and advanced toward the crowd, setting off a confrontation in which chemical irritants were released and officers were pelted with objects. Three officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and police went on to arrest Lang along with several of his supporters on suspicion of rioting.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has ordered the military to respond “forcefully” to kites crossing from Gaza into Israel, saying they should be treated as a military threat even when they carry no explosives. Four kites believed to have come from Gaza were found near Kibbutz Nahal Oz over the weekend, with the Israeli military saying no suspicious material was found and that they posed no danger to the public. Israeli military sources have claimed that some of the kites are being flown by children as young as 12 and 13, while Hamas says they are simply children’s toys from Gaza’s displacement camps.

Despite the kites being found without explosives, Katz has instructed the military to take action against those Israel holds responsible for the launches, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to intensify strikes in Gaza if they continue. The warnings came as Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on Sunday killed Palestinians, including a four-year-old boy, according to Palestinian health officials.

Israel Announces No Charges Over the Killing of Australian Aid Worker Zomi Frankcom

Israel chose World Humanitarian Day to announce that no criminal charges would be brought over the killing of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and six of her World Central Kitchen colleagues in Gaza in 2024. The humanitarian workers were travelling in a clearly marked aid convoy when three vehicles were struck one after another by Israeli drones, despite World Central Kitchen saying their movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military. Following its own investigation, Israel concluded there was insufficient evidence to pursue criminal proceedings over the attack.

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has expressed outrage at the decision, but the response has renewed questions over whether Canberra is prepared to translate its condemnation into concrete action. Zomi Frankcom’s family continues to call for an independent investigation, while critics argue that Israel’s reliance on internal military investigations has repeatedly failed to deliver meaningful accountability. Despite the Australian government’s strong rhetoric, it has not expelled the Israeli ambassador or imposed significant sanctions in response to Frankcom’s killing. Without stronger measures or support for an independent investigation, critics say Australia’s outrage risks amounting to little more than political theatre.

UAE Funded an Israeli Mercenary to Spy on a British Muslim Political Academic

An ITV News investigation has revealed that a mercenary on the UAE’s payroll allegedly carried out a covert surveillance operation against British Muslim political activist and academic Anas Altikriti on British soil. Financial records reviewed by ITV reportedly show that Abraham Golan was receiving a six-figure retainer from the UAE during the 2016 London operation, with evidence documenting efforts to track Altikriti’s home, workplace and movements. The revelations raise serious questions over the extent to which Abu Dhabi’s campaign against figures it considers linked to the Muslim Brotherhood may have extended beyond its borders and into Britain.

Golan, a dual Hungarian-Israeli citizen and former French Foreign Legion soldier, headed the private security company Spear Operations Group and had previously assembled Western military veterans for UAE-funded operations in Yemen, including a targeted assassination programme. According to ITV, the London mission took an alarming turn when a former US Navy SEAL working alongside Golan reportedly drew a finger across his throat while discussing what could happen to Altikriti. A witness interpreted the gesture as suggesting the operation could ultimately involve killing him. ITV stressed that its evidence does not establish that Emirati officials ordered an assassination attempt, but found that Golan was being paid by the UAE at the time and considered himself to be operating on its behalf. The UAE’s embassies in Britain and the United States did not respond to the findings.

Australia has condemned Israel’s decision not to pursue criminal charges over the 2024 airstrike that killed Australian aid worker Lalzawmi “Zomi” Frankcom and six of her World Central Kitchen colleagues in Gaza. The humanitarian workers were travelling in clearly marked vehicles after delivering food aid when their convoy was repeatedly struck by Israeli forces. Israel acknowledged responsibility for the attack and serious operational failures, but its military justice system has now concluded there is insufficient basis for criminal prosecution.

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the government was “outraged” by the outcome, arguing it falls far short of the accountability Australia has demanded. Canberra has summoned Israel’s ambassador over the decision and pledged to continue seeking justice for Frankcom and her colleagues. The case has renewed criticism of Israel’s system of investigating its own military conduct in Gaza, with World Central Kitchen continuing to call for an independent investigation into the killings.

Israel killed at least seven Palestinians, including a child, and wounded 14 others in a drone strike on a café along Gaza City’s seafront, according to Palestinian health officials. The force of the blast reportedly threw victims into the sea.

Israel claimed the strike targeted Hamas members planning an attack against its forces, but publicly provided no evidence to substantiate the claim. The attack comes amid renewed scrutiny over continued Israeli strikes in Gaza despite the so-called ceasefire.

Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos has reportedly embraced Islam after reciting the Shahada in Brazil.

According to reports citing Turkish lawmaker Ali Şahin and a prominent member of Brazil’s Muslim community, the former Real Madrid and Brazil star converted weeks ago. Carlos himself has yet to publicly confirm the reports.
