Is the UN Being Wrecked So Western Leaders Can Escape Justice from the ICC and ICJ?
On Thursday UK MPs will debate the motion “That this House has considered the obligation to assess the risk of genocide under international law in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territories”.

To Be a Revolutionary Social Worker, or to be a Radical Worker, that is the Question
The dichotomy between the social worker as a nine-to-five state agent and five-nine activist is a crucial one. The question can be summarised as: is there space, willingness and scope within social work to engage with broader structural issues that affect the lives of the people we work with?

Scholasticide in Palestine
The term “scholasticide” emerged in the context of Israel’s long history of targeting Palestinian institutions of higher learning, culminating in Israeli forces destroying 95% of campuses and university buildings in Gaza from 2023 to 2025.

Can Trump Demilitarize Gaza With Night Raids and Death Squads?
At the opening ceremony for Donald Trump’s so-called Board of Peace in Davos, Jared Kushner unveiled glossy images of his vision for a “new Gaza”: shining apartment towers, luxury developments, and sweeping views of the Mediterranean. There were no Palestinians at the ceremony—and none on the Board of Peace itself. In Kushner’s fantasy, Palestinians appear only as an absence, […]

Israel’s Ongoing Demolition of Gaza
What matters peace if it permits killing, maiming and destroying the infrastructure of a society supposedly once at war?

Festival of Cowardice: The Cancellation of Randa Abdel-Fattah
Randa Abdel-Fattah Boards of directors are a funny bunch. Often lacking expertise, claiming knowledge they do not have and insight that never illuminates, its members can make the cockup the stuff of legend. Instead of minding their own business and leaving the Adelaide Writers’ Week to take place without incident as part of the 2026 […]
