Sarah Schwarz speaks to the silencing tactics against those speaking up for Palestine. Francesca Albanese outlines the many elements that make up genocide. Peter Cronau suggests Australia appears to have breached the International Court of Justice ruling by exporting coal from Newcastle to Israel, while Cameron Leckie suggests a peacekeeping force for Ukraine is disingenuous after Australia’s role in the proxy war.
The silencing tactics against those who speak up for Palestinian rights:
@jewishcouncilAU
“This is about silencing of the voices of those who speak up for Palestinian human rights”. Our EO @Sarah__Schwartz spoke to @NareldaJacobs10 ahead of International Women’s Day about the impacts on women of the demonisation of Israel’s critics, and Israel’s devastation of Gaza pic.twitter.com/eQaPmZPail

Fully closing down Gaza AGAIN, while resuming hostilities, is much more than a violation of the ceasefire.

“Fully closing down Gaza AGAIN, while resuming hostilities, is much more than a violation of the ceasefire.”
“It is an escalation of Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinians.”

Australia appears to have breached the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling by exporting coal from Newcastle, to Israel — at the height of Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza. https://t.co/uYO2QBfGi0 pic.twitter.com/mKTyJ87oyM

Australia is a party to a proxy war which has failed catastrophically
@leckie_cameron
1. 🇦🇺 thanks to #auspol is a party to the proxy war against 🇷🇺 which has failed catastrophically, most of all for 🇺🇦
Thus 🇦🇺 is responsible for the deaths of 🇷🇺 soldiers
It is thus highly disingenuous of #auspol to even think of sending ‘peacekeepers’ https://t.co/8NabHBxO9c
