Bob Carr reminds the Israel lobby that Australia has voted in the UN alongside our partners. In Gaza, realities of bombings in displacement camps, the challenges of winter and fleeing attacks. Ben Gvir has banned the call to prayer (not the first time). In London, a “Yes it is genocide” flag is rolled out in Parliament Square. Francesca Albanese speaks to the monstrosity of our time, Jeffrey Sachs speaks to US wars and “Netanyahu’s list” and Peter Garrett sends a climate message to the Australian government, while Putin speaks of respect to sovereignty.
Note others voting for this resolution include our partners

The monstrosity of our time
@FranceskAlbs
The monstrosity of our time.
We know and pretend not to know.
We give it other names, we make up excuses.
