IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

The first Swiss journalist to reach Gaza under the army of genocide lost his temper at the horror he witnessed, saying: “Humanity was destroyed here.”

We renew our call on international media and investigators to pressure the genocidal state to allow immediate access to Gaza.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

Methane makes up 48% of NZ's climate pollution. The Govt's grossly irresponsible announcement today that they will never have a price on methane, combined with their policies to increase the dairy herd, means that they have zero intention of meeting NZ Paris obligations.

Most media are glossing over Israel soon releasing 1,700 Palestinians it abducted and held without charge--in other words, hostages they kidnapped. And they're not releasing all of them.

The ideef has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades, calculating shipments to exert pressure whilst avoiding death....just.

“The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,” a senior adviser to the then PM, Ehud Olmert, said.
