UNRWA is the largest health provider in Gaza.
New legislation from Israel’s parliament to ban UNRWA’s operations will have catastrophic implications in the Gaza strip and beyond. We denounce this legislation.

While these scenes are hard to process, it is important to understand that extrajudicial executions of Palestinian civilians—often children—are absolutely not isolated incidents. These events represent a part of the systematic and widespread actions being carried out by Israeli soldiers in Gaza. The rationale? The opportunity to target (and destroy) the Palestinians, which the State of Israel appears determined not to let slip away.
Mike Pezzullo has been stripped of his Order of Australia honour, yet Kathryn Campbell still gets to keeps hers. Why? Her retention of this award is shameful and should be terminated without further delay. #auspol#Robodebt

The horrific scenes unfolding in Jabalia, and northern Gaza must stop.
An entire population is being encircled and forced out, with nowhere for them to go.
My statement:
The repeated Israeli attacks on UNIFIL’s operations and personnel in southern Lebanon in recent days must be urgently investigated. International humanitarian law prohibits intentional targeting of UN peacekeeping missions which are entitled to civilian protection.
The violence in Gaza for a year, now spreading to Lebanon, brings back memories of the 2006 war in Lebanon. My documentary Words in the Wake of War was born from the urgent need to gather testimonies.

The fossil fuel industry continues to pocket massive profits and subsidies.
Meanwhile, everyday people bear the costs of climate catastrophe – from rising insurance premiums to lost livelihoods.

Tony Benn’s plea to see Arabs as humans is as true today as it was then; we don’t have men of his moral fibre in Parliament anymore, instead we have careerist cowards who have barely mentioned today’s slaughter in Lebanon

The Hague has become the world's first city to pass a law banning fossil fuel ads.
