Imagine if #Russia would be destroying the headquarters of UN's UNCHR in #Ukraine today.

It would be the leading news in the 'West', eclipsing Trump and Greenland.

#Israel is today destroying the headquarters of UN's UNRWA (@unrwa.org) in #Palestine.

And it goes almost unreported in the 'West'.

The Australian public is getting pretty tired of this... the ABC should delete the emails and be done with it.

The Lattouf case cost the ABC $2.6mil, and she was a casual, five-day employee. Can you imagine how much more damage could be done if they take adverse action here?

The ABC News headline writer is doing an outstanding job of minimising any criticism of Israel.
• The headline: Israel limits aid
• The report: the Israeli Govt is refusing to allow caravans, temporary housing or building materials into the strip. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide

I hereby award C. Wilcox the inaugural Lola Montez Golden Whip Award for Most Comprehensive Response to a Press Representative, 2026. I mean, I think we may as well bestow it now, surely.

I wonder if our mainstream news media will report the wonderful work being done by Sikh Volunteers Australia. Or if our political leaders will praise or thank their community spirit. Here's their FB page: www.facebook.com/share/1C7nWJ...

I wrote earlier about the catastrophic effects of pro-Israel pressure campaigns on our cultural institutions, but it seems no lessons have been learned

Apparently she has a culturally insensitive surname.
Absolutely disgraceful from the Adelaide Festival.
I hope other participants reconsider their part in it.

Randa Abdel-Fattah uninvited from Adelaide Writers’ Week, because of Bondi, even though they "do not suggest in any way that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah’s or her writings have any connection with the tragedy at Bondi." She just can't come anymore. Because Bondi.

Israel has cleared the final hurdle before starting construction on a contentious settlement project near Jerusalem that would effectively cut the West Bank in two, according to a government tender. https://to.pbs.org/3L6gDe9
Israel clears final hurdle to start settlement construction that would cut the West Bank in two
Settlement development in E1, an open tract of land east of Jerusalem, has been under consideration for more than two decades, but was frozen due to U.S. pressure during previous administrations.

Completely inappropriate for ABC Sport to run an interview during the cricket tea break with a spokesperson for athletes pushing for a Royal Commission. No other perspectives canvassed - just a platform handed to one side of the argument on a silver platter. Appalling.
