Zomi Frankcom went to Gaza to feed the suffering. Oscar Jenkins went to Ukraine to kill. Penny Wong threatens Russian ambassador after the death of Oscar Jenkins. Zomi Frankcom's murder got a "Joint Statement Towards a New Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel"
As Australian officials scramble to verify reports that Oscar Jenkins has been killed in Ukraine, foreign minister Penny Wong has warned Moscow that its ambassador could face expulsion. ow.ly/fVfW50UGz2t

A long Annus Horribilis in a picture.
For the last 14 months millions of decent human beings worldwide have battled between incredulity, rage, frustration, sense of impotence, depression and crude pain over the brutalization of millions of Palestinians by the state which the int'l community has allowed to behave like a spoiled brat for decades. ENOUGH.
Member states must act now and stop the genocide. Then the occupation. And finally the apartheid.
We must collectively restore respect for legality, our trust in common rules and systems, and our capacity to act as humans.

Israel just killed Khaled Nabhan, who called his granddaughter Reem โthe soul of his soulโ in a viral CNN report after they slaughtered her last year. They shared a birthday - she wouldโve turned 5 next week. This isnโt war itโs the erasure of families & histories- with impunity.

This was instantaneously my deepest fear as the news of the ICC arrest warrants came in. It is noticeable that as of January, at every move at the int'l justice level, there has been an immediate intensification of lethal violence against the Palestinians in Gaza. This also needs to be thorrougly investigated, Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC.

โSo what did go down in Amsterdam? And how should the media have reported it?
Certainly, better than they did because two angry mobs were involved โ with violence on both sides โ and while antisemitism was an ingredient, the claims of a Nazi pogrom were ridiculous.โ

๐จNEWS๐จ Australian coal has just arrived in Israel after being shipped from Australia.
A bulk carrier arrived today from Newcastle to the Hadera port, on the coast near Tel Aviv, likely to supply Israelโs largest power station.
Yemen has banned the passage of all ships en route to Israel, while humanitarian aid, food, medicine are blockaded from Gaza, in compliance with calls from Intโl Court of Justice.

โAl Jazeera and Anadolu both covered Hassan Hamadโs death. As did several pro-Palestinian sites.
But there has been little or nothing in the mainstream media which is remarkable. Are we now so hardened to journalists being targeted?โ

The Albanese gov has supported Israel diplomatically, economically and militarily over the last 12 months. It has played down ICJ rulings, abstained on UN resolutions, withdrawn vital funding from Palestinians, met with Zionist leaders in private, appointed antisemitism special envoys, constantly asserted Israel's 'right to defend itself', approved lucrative defence contracts, joined a coalition to engage Houthi's blockading shipping channels, and excused every dangerous escalation by Netanyahu - and it is still not enough?
