"For decades, Western and Israeli policy alignment — expressed through U.S. diplomacy, European funding mechanisms, and Israeli security doctrine — relied on a stable pattern: military assaults, humanitarian aid, diplomatic statements, and a return to routine governance.
Each round of destruction was framed as crisis and then absorbed back into normal operations. The current phase in Gaza cannot be absorbed. The scale of killing, displacement, starvation, and infrastructural collapse has overwhelmed the mechanisms designed to contain it." -Rima Najjar-

The Federal Court of Australia has closed ranks behind Zionist judge Michael Lee, saying he did nothing wrong by not disclosing his strong personal bias towards Israel in an academic freedom case (NTEU v University of Sydney) concerning the Zionist regime.
Legal advisor Scott Tredwell, of behalf of Chief Justice Debra Mortimer, responding one year after I made an official complaint of judicial misconduct and one week after my latest reminder letter, said in effect.
the FCA sees notnhing wrong in Michael Lee’s Israel bias, nor his non disclosure of that bias in a case which concerned alleged “offensive” comments about Israel;
In any event the Chief Justice canot remedy a judicial decision
If I am concerned I might like to seek leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia
the FCA would prefer that the public not be told about this complaint of judicial bias.
Scott Tredwell’s full letter can be read in the link below, it confrains a reasonable summary of my original complaint.

Israeli settlers have attacked the historic Christian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, setting fields on fire and targeting Palestinian homes.
Local sources reported that the settlers opened fire on houses and threw Molotov cocktails
Always amazes me how the US can start an unprovoked war of aggression on the other side of the planet and then claim it is "launching self-defense strikes" there.
These military forces are nowhere near the United States. The Iranian government says the Apache helicopter that was shot down "was not flying over international waters," but even if it was, it's absurd to claim "self-defense" against a country that has been defending itself in a war you started.
These freaks really do operate from the premise that the entire planet is their property, and that any failure to respect its property rights shall therefore be viewed as an act of aggression.
I mean, just look at who's making this statement. US "Central Command" is the unified combatant command responsible for military operations in the middle east. The US military has separate unified combatant commands for every part of the globe:
• Central Command (CENTCOM) for the middle east.
• Africa Command (AFRICOM) for Africa.
• Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) for Asia, the Pacific islands, Australia and Antarctica.
• European Command (EUCOM) for Europe.
• Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) for South America.
• Northern Command (NORTHCOM) for North America.
No other country on earth does this. No other military power is segmented into areas of responsibility spanning every continent on earth. This is because normal military forces are used to defend the actual, official country they belong to, whereas the US military is used to dominate the entire planet.
And in that sense it's actually entirely reasonable that the US "Department of Defense" changed its name to the Department of War. The US military is never used to defend the actual, official country of the United States of America; it is only ever used to prop up the globe-spanning imperial power structure it commands.
This is not normal. It is a freakish aberration without historical precedent. The world cannot know peace until the US empire is dismantled.

With Germanys failure to get elected to the United Nations Security Council, this brilliant address by Slovenia, Spain, and Belgiums action in Europe and the weakening of the US/Israeli military by their defeat in Iran, there is real hope that US/Israeli global terrorism may finally be addressed.
Israel has killed more than one child every hour for the past 30 months. It has created the world’s largest concentration of child amputees in Gaza. If you are a supporter of this murderous state that kills and maims children casually, without remorse, you deserve only contempt.
Genocid nad Palestinci ni ustavljen in ljudje v Gazi in na Zahodnem bregu ne živijo v miru in dostojanstvu. Danes izobešena zastava Palestine na pročelju Predsedniške palače, ki bo tu ostala en teden, potem pa bo, kot opomin vsem, ki obiščejo moj urad, stala v notranjih prostorih, pa pomeni še mnogo več. Je simbol grobih kršitev mednarodnega humanitarnega prava in človekovih pravic ne samo v Palestini, pač pa tudi drugod po svetu. Je preprost klic k spoštovanju temeljnega civilizacijskega načela: človekovega dostojanstva - za vse.
Jewish convert @charliepick gave an interview to convicted wife beater Avi Yemeni, criticising his employer the ABC for airing a podcast about autism hosted by Grace Tame because she is anti genocide & supports Palestinians.
Pickering shouldn't be airing his pro Israel pro genocide
political views whilst wearing his ABC hat, amirite? Isn't that why they went after Latouff?
Also, it appears Pickering objects to anyone discussing anything unless they first pass his Zionist purity test - you can't talk about autism (or anything else) if you criticise Israel. Let that sink in.
When you come home to Australia, Border Force asks if you have been hiking recently. Surely they can ask if you joined a foreign military.

It has been a mistake for successive Australian governments to tell our American friends that AUKUS has bipartisan support, when they've known all along that it lacks public consensus.
Australians know that AUKUS is both dangerous and financially unsustainable.

Italian dockworkers block military logistics hub in Mediterranean to disrupt supply chains fueling Gaza genocide
——
Italian anti-war campaigners and grassroots trade unions have launched a coordinated land and sea blockade at the strategic southern port of Gioia Tauro, aimed at disrupting western military supply chains fueling the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The mobilization, organized under the "Global Intifada Disarm" banner, saw a flotilla of activist vessels converge this week on the Calabrian hub alongside nationwide strikes targeting factories and logistics nodes linked to Israeli military production.
Activists directly accused Rome and multinational shipping giant MSC of complicity, revealing that 16 containers of dual-use ballistic steel used for missile manufacturing have been stalled on the docks due to persistent public exposure. The direct action achieved an immediate victory when the container ship MSC Manasvi turned back to sea without loading under-scrutiny cargo, following a tip-off from BDS Italy to local dockworkers.
The Calabrian terminal, one of the Mediterranean's most vital transshipment hubs, has become a primary flashpoint after Italian financial police were forced to inspect suspicious Indian-origin steel shipments earlier this year. The mounting pressure has sparked a parliamentary inquiry by the Five Star Movement, with union leaders emphasizing that sustained surveillance is the only way to prevent authorities from quietly smuggling arms components to Israel under the cover of night.
Organizers have framed the port blockades as a convergence of anti-imperialist solidarity and local labor struggles against the exploitation of Italy’s global south. Port workers and youth movements vowed to expand the maritime mapping of vessels transporting dual-use materials, declaring that the Mediterranean belongs to its working-class communities rather than the western war economy.
The Gioia Tauro shutdown marks a significant escalation in Italy's broader resistance movement, which has seen continuous university occupations and dockworker mutinies since the departure of the Global Sumud Flotilla last autumn.
