Israel responds to Iran's retaliatory strikes by cutting off all aid to Gaza.
This is a state which routinely collectively punishes civilians as a tactic of war.
This is monstrous, and it is also a grave war crime.
You cannot commit genocide in Gaza, invade Lebanon, bomb Iran, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty, then hide behind anti-Semitism.
There is no rise in anti-Semitism. There is a rise in the number of people who are very angry at what Israel is doing. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.
Deliberate targeting. Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant - “What the Wounds Tell” documents 114 children in Gaza under 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest.

"What's happening in Gaza is a Holocaust and what's being designed by the Israel government is the final solution to the Palestinian problem. As a Holocaust survivor my reaction is not in my name."

Update: Chris Sidoti has again spoken out & called on federal authorities to investigate Australians who have served in the IDF since October 2023 for potential “war crimes” and “genocide.”
“The full force of Australian law should be applied”💥 #auspol
Une grande victoire pour les Albanais !
Le gouvernement albanais annonce l'arrêt des travaux du projet de Kushner et Ivanka et la suspension du projet.
Les foules refusent de rentrer chez elles tant que le projet n'est pas annulé intégralement.
People keep telling me that Pauline Hanson stands up for ordinary Australians.
So let’s look at the record.
Pauline Hanson and One Nation have voted against or opposed:
• Increasing JobKeeper payments during the pandemic
• Raising the Newstart/JobSeeker rate for unemployed Australians
• A Royal Commission into violence, abuse and neglect of people with disability
• Making TAFE fee-free for more Australians
• Greater funding for universities and education
• Measures aimed at improving housing affordability
• Expanding access to subsidised childcare
• Measures aimed at reducing the gender pay gap
• Stronger protections for Aboriginal heritage sites
• Increasing diversity in media ownership
• Environmental protections for forests and threatened ecosystems
• Stronger action on gambling harm
At the same time, Hanson has supported:
• Tax cuts that disproportionately benefited higher-income earners
• Expanding welfare cashless debit card programs
• Greater political intervention in research funding decisions
• Reductions in some welfare supports
Then there was the infamous attempt by One Nation figures to seek support from the US gun lobby to weaken Australia’s gun laws after Port Arthur.
So the question remains:
What has Pauline Hanson actually delivered that has improved the lives of ordinary Australians?
After nearly three decades in politics, where are the major reforms? Where are the new hospitals, schools, infrastructure projects, wage increases, housing programs or worker protections she can point to?
A lot of outrage. A lot of headlines. A lot of blame.
But very little delivered.
Australians deserve more than slogans. They deserve results.
There can be NO doubt that Albanese knows the nuclear waste component of AUKUS would be totally on the nose with the electorate. The secrecy behind this deal with USA shows just how bad the deal is. Labor is f*cking the country with AUKUS. https://t.co/b5tYifzNnE
Chris Sidoti, UN Human Rights investigator, Law expert:
"Every Australian citizen who has dual nationality and who has served in the IDF in the GENOCIDE in Gaza since 7/Oct/2023 must be investigated as war criminals and prosecuted."
All of them. Who else agrees with Chris?
Pew Research Center:
79% of Australians view Israel unfavorably.
Younger adults in Australia express significantly more critical views of Israel than older generations. Roughly 90% of progressive Australians hold negative views of Israel.

When nuclear weapons come into Australia — on board US Navy ships or submarines, and US bomber planes — the Australian government won’t tell you.
It’s a secret between them & the US — and of course the well-informed ever-watching Chinese and Russian military intelligence.
It is YOU who they don’t want to know.
It is YOU who is not trusted.
And that’s because YOU might still think this is a democracy, and might try to do something about it.

Every day, I open this horror box and see things that are never reported in the MSM. @abcnews@SBSNews
Now, a 7 month old child deliberately shot in the West Bank ... and it goes on and on. Every day for over 2 years.
I blame the media as much as the govt for supporting this.
#AUKUS is a textbook example of the sunk cost FALLACY - a cognitive bias that sees people continue to pursue a project when it no longer makes sense, simply because they’ve already invested significant time, money and effort into it. #OnlyYOURMoney#auspol https://t.co/uJDpi9pNqH
With Aukus, we lose our sovereignty to U.S.A. Australia doesn't need nucleur powered subs to defend our region, nor nucleur waste disposal problems. Conventional subs will do the job, and we can have them sooner and cheaper. #auspol#aukus
"I have spent the past five years collecting evidence of grave violations of international law in Gaza and the West Bank. All states, including Australia, must respond to these atrocities" #auspol

So say the IDF member is Australian, there's testimony from the father driving the car. It was clear it was a family travelling with a baby. They shot the baby in the head. Imagine if it's an Aussie IDF member. Do you feel safe with baby killers on your streets? #auspol
Julie Bishop set the bar for Liberal women, I see her example in Michaelia Cash, Jane Hume, Sarah Henderson, Linda Reynolds, Anne Ruston & Melissa McIntosh
All those toxic traits that take Aust backwards
It is absolutely necessary that every British citizen who goes to fight for the IDF is arrested on their return to the UK in relation to war crimes, crimes against humanity and GENOCIDE
