The onus for stopping a genocide is on the party committing the genocide. The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to end it by meeting certain conditions. This should not even need to be said.

The Onus Is On Israel And Its Allies To End The Genocide, Not Their Victims

"Israel is still limiting the number of aid trucks allowed to enter Gaza. Its only permitting 300, half the agreed number under the Trump plan"

So Israel continues to starve people in Gaza because they claim Hamas hasn't done something. The definition of collective punishment

“The Albanese Government is committed to no new extinctions” Environment Minister Murray Watt, reaffirming Labor’s 2022 pledge on Threatened Species Day 2025

2 weeks later Australia’s only shrew is declared extinct.

screenshot of Minister watt's media release. Text captured says: Recognising Threatened Species Day 7 September 2025 Today is Threatened Species Day, an opportunity to acknowledge the risks to Australia’s unique species and the work being done across the country to help them recover and thrive. From tree plantings and weed removal to species specific mapping and monitoring using the latest conservation technology, countless individuals and organisations help every day to support and provide hope for threatened species. It’s not just the work happening on the ground – research is finding innovative solutions to stay ahead of the game in the fight against key threats like feral cats, invasive weeds and climate change.

Israel blocked 300 of 600 aid trucks per day from entering Gaza with much needed humanitarian supplies.

Israel still hasn’t opened all crossings.

Israel still holds 8000 Palestinian hostages, detainees & prisoners.

🇮🇱 *deported* many it “released”.

Israel is still murdering/killing Gazans.

Dear ABC News,
Why do you refer to Israeli hostages yet Palestinian prisoners? The word prisoner implies they've committed a crime. Yet you know almost all of the Palestinians were held w/o charge, trial or conviction. Words matter. Hostages on both sides. #Israel #Palestine #JournalismMatters

Written by Chris Hedges

“How is it possible that a peace proposal ignores the ICJ’s July 2024 Advisory Opinion, which reiterated that Israel’s occupation is illegal and must end?

How can it fail to mention Palestinian’s right to self-determination?”

Americans complaining about Qatar building a base on American soil have got to be tone deaf.
Do they really think that the citizens of all the countries where there are American bases wanted them in their country?
I doubt it. I don’t want American bases in Australia.

The continuing illegal occupation and annexation of #WestBank territory suggests Israel is highly unlikely to act in good faith on the Gaza 'peace plan', beyond the immediate ceasefire.

The global community needs to #SanctionIsraelNow, to ensure Palestinians' rights are advanced.

In August we reported on the story of 12 year old Huda, suffering extreme malnutrition. Her hair was falling out, and she didn't have enough energy to get out of bed.

We're hearing reports that Huda died in recent days.

Here's our story from August:

Malnourished Huda needs treatment outside of Gaza — but she can't leave
Hospitals in Gaza are having to divert resources to treating surging cases of malnutrition as starvation takes hold across the strip. Meanwhile, children who need treatment are waiting to be evacuated...
