Could you imagine the headlines if 104 Israelis were killed? I highly doubt "fragile" would be the term being used.

Would we be calling it a "fragile" ceasefire if 104 Israelis were killed?

I'm going to count to three... If you haven't stopped building settlements, I'm going to issue another stern warning. One... two... two and a half... two and three quarters... ahhh, fuck it, just build them - I don't actually give a shit.

It is absolutely beyond time that the Australian Government imposes the highest level of sanctions against Israel. Tepid words of condemnation amounts to little more than tacit support for this ongoing genocide. Decisive, concrete action is required.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, major UN report finds

Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide in Gaza, according to the "most authoritative assessment" to date.

The protests were way below the "digital fold" - as the 7th story.

Stephen Bakopanos @sbakopanos.bsky.social · Aug 24

On the day that tens of thousands of people across the country march in protest against the genocides in Gaza, the SMH instead gives higher billing to the feelings of a ghoulish genocide denier. Interesting editorial decision...

Though would still prefer Netanyahu's name to be paired with "indicted for corruption and war crimes".

The editorial decision to use headlines to platform the views of a man indicted for war crimes is something The Guardian really should reflect on.

Went completely unchallenged when the claim was repeated by the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister on Radio National Breakfast. Perfect opportunity to get an answer, but it was mostly just softball questions. Sigh.

We've been rewarding Israel for decades by turning a blind eye as it slowly erases Palestine with settlements and crippling blockades. If we don't act now as it literally wipes cities off the map, then it will be too late.

Recognising Palestine now only rewards Hamas, the side with clear genocidal intent

Condemnation of Israel’s actions – however justified – is no basis for reversing the long-held position that accepting Israel’s right to exist is a precondition of recognising a Palestinian state.

This is not the behaviour of a moral country. This is cruel, unjust and evil. It is state sponsored terrorism. It is time we condemn this Israeli government like we condemn Hamas.
