Speaking the voice of Labor on #Insiders
Was the war with Iran worth it ?
"We supported the objectives of the war " @Mark_Butler_MP
How do Labor expect to win back support from their base saying war is justified as we see the impact on COL & AUKUS @LabAgainstWar @DougCameron51

♥️🇨🇺 This image represents the countries that have received medical cooperation or international solidarity from Cuba. More than 160 countries.

Keep in mind that Cuba is a developing country, almost 70 years under the U.S. blockade.

Cuba represents hope for the people of the 🌎

[Coalition Tea Lady @ItsBouquet]

It's amazing! ... whatever vicious thuggery the US undertakes, be it blockading Cuba to starve the population, or providing Israel the means to slaughter the people of Gaza and Lebanon . . ,

This pair of weasels say nothing.

Speaking of HELL.

Corbyn was an MP for 32 years until he was elected Labour leader in 2015.

Number of accusations in the media of antisemitism from 1983-2015 = 0

Number of accusations in the media of antisemitism from 2015-19 = 11,251

Today is Nakba Day. You cannot understand what lies at the heart of conflict in the Middle East unless you understand what happened to 85% of Palestinians in 1948. Here Eugene Rogan explains how hundreds of thousands of refugees ended up homeless & dispossessed in Gaza

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel killed at least 39 people in Lebanon today—DURING a “ceasefire”—and it’s treated like just a normal day. Imagine the wall-to-wall coverage and condemnations if dozens of Israelis were killed today.

It is not normal to kill dozens of Lebanese or Palestinians or Iranians…

[Wendy Bacon @Wendy_Bacon]

If you are thinking about Mother’s Day, please think about all the mothers slaughtered by Israel

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

This week Doctors Without Borders shared analysis on the impact of Israel’s DELIBERATE blocking of aid to Gaza.

I can’t find a single headline in Western media. How is further proof of genocide—that is still ongoing—not newsworthy?

[Jenny Difficult-Frecklington-Jones 🇵🇸🍉🇮🇷 @JonesHowDareYou]

Just saw this on insta. Police brutality in Naarm yesterday at a peaceful 'No cuts to NDIS' rally.

"Vulnerable people with disability, young people and the elderly were pushed to the ground, shoved, punched and injured. Police pushed people in front of a moving tram." #springst

[Garden Court North @gcnchambers]

(1/3) Garden Court North members express solidarity with Rajiv Menon KC, a highly respected silk and member of @gardencourtlaw, who faces prosecution for contempt of court following his closing speech in a high-profile and politically sensitive criminal trial.

[Martin Flanagan @Martin_Flanagan]

The notion that Segal champions - that the spike in antisemitism in Australia bears no relation to Israel’s conduct in Gaza and Lebanon (plus the attack on Iran) - is simply not real. It’s a delusion which she wants us as a nation to share.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Tried watching a BBC doc on Russia.

Already in the first mins: "Russia arrests journalists and threatens them with decades in prison!"

As opposed to what? Me being threatened w/ 14 years in the UK, or 10 years in Austria for my reporting?

Hypocrisy at its peak.

[Clare Hinchcliffe @Subversivite]

I'm glad it can finally be reported that Rajiv Menon KC, lead defence barrister in my daughter's (Filton 6) trial, is being *prosecuted*

Judge 'Injustice' Johnson is trying to punish Rajiv for a brilliant speech in the 1st trial because it led to the jury refusing to convict.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Jillian Segal, special envoy to combat antisemitism, decried "conflation of the Israeli government with Jewish people" as Australia’s “fastest-growing” form of antisemitism, but she worsens it by equating legitimate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. https://t.co/QcZxkC5N39

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

One of my most popular articles ever included a long extract from a powerful closing speech by barrister Rajiv Menon during a Palestine Action trial in January. In the end, the jury refused to convict the six defendants.

Menon is now on trial for that closing speech – for reminding the jury that they had a 350-year-old right in law to follow their conscience in reaching a verdict, even if it meant defying a direction from the judge to convict.

Paradoxically, Menon joked in his speech that, because of that earlier legal principle, the judge, unlike his counterpart in 1670, could not lock them, the jurors, up were they to choose to follow their consciences.

Instead, the judge is seeking to lock up the barrister. Does 2026 qualify as an improvement on 1670?

It is believed that this is the first time a barrister has been tried for comments made to a jury in his closing speech. That should serve as a potent reminder of just us how authoritarian the current political moment is, and of how quickly long-established legal rights are being dismantled to protect British collusion in genocide.

Read my article – and the part of the speech for which Menon is being tried – here: https://t.co/RyDHG3Iz81

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨Israel assassinated Imad Miqdad yesterday in a drone strike, targeting his solar-powered phone charging station in Gaza yesterday.

Miqdad had been providing civilians with a rare means of communication amid ongoing electricity cuts.

The strike killed him and destroyed the facility, further limiting access to basic services and connectivity for residents.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

“Military aged men” - just think about it. They were killing any male civilians within 3km of a man whom the civilians had no way of knowing was there.

This is the rescue some think is so admirable

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

I am offended that 18 police officers, including members of the Special Operations Group, also the riot and protest squad Operational Support Group of the brave NSW Police Force, along with two paddy wagons, and two ambulances, rush to arrest a man in a ‘Fuck Israel’ t-shirt.
