Bodies strewn in streets in Beit Lahia while IDF shoots at anyone who tries to help. It is the intent to destroy that defines a genocide says Francesca Albanese as her report to the UN is discussed across (independent) media channels. Arundhati Roy asks what can possibly justify what Israel is doing and the Publisher of Israel’s Ha’aretz speaks out for Palestine at their London conference. Journalist Bisan Owda shine a light on the lessons she has learned from the children of Gaza. At home, we are reminded of the reality of AUKUS by Paul Keating.
