  • 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”. This follows an application from SNP MP Brendan O’Hara way back in June last year. As O’Hara said in his request, “it is to allow […]

  • 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. We partnered with Taawon’s ISNAD program to document scholasticide and the determination of Palestinian scholars and students to resume teaching, […]

  • Scott Morrison in Israel

    Australia’s former Prime Minister and faithful Pentecostational conference on combating antisemitism held between January 26 and 27 at Jerusalem’s International Convention Center, ambitiously titled Generation Truth. The December 14, 2025 attack by two ISIS-inspired gunmen on those attending a Hanukkah event on Sydney’s Bondi Beach had supplied him with a hot script. Australia’s Albanese government […]

  • Gaza Vanishing: Trump’s Board of Peace

    Donald Trump’s Board of Peace overseeing the reconstruction of Gaza was always going to raise a host of niggling questions. From the outset, the US President made it clear he would be the helmsman of what was essentially an outfit of selected corporate overseers tilling the soil for The Donald’s posterity fund. These anointed sorts […]

  • 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? This is the situation facing Gaza as the occupying Israeli forces go about their business making the Strip even more uninhabitable for the Palestinian residents, ensuring that that land will be vacated, either through force or […]

  • Festival of Cowardice: The Cancellation of Randa Abdel-Fattah

    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 […]

  • The Politics of Premature Adjudication: The Bondi Royal Commission

    Royal commissions are often held to confirm the obvious and squeak for modest change. They offer no binding remedies, have no compellable powers against the government of the day, and can, despite claiming to be independent, be susceptible to interest groups. They are also expensive, laborious, often lengthy, and serve as a pacifying agent, absorbing pressure and […]

  • Israel And Its Supporters Deliberately Foment Hate And Division In Our Society

    I’ve noticed a lot of angry comments underneath my posts these past few days, which bizarrely mention the words “Islam” and “Muslims” completely out of the blue. “Why don’t you turn your attention sometimes to the genocidal intent of the radical Muslims, or does that suit your racist narrative?” reads one tweet. “What can you say about […]

  • Using the Slain: Israel Exploits the Bondi Beach Shootings

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rarely passes an opportunity to comment upon the way Jews in other countries are treated. While the manic hatred directed against Jews remains one of history’s grotesque legacies, opportunism in the Netanyahu government is a ready instinct. With a customary sense of perversion, Netanyahu has managed to mangle Israeli policy, […]

  • Destruction of Evidence: The Struggle to Count the Dead in Gaza

    Destruction of Evidence: The Struggle to Count the Dead in Gaza

    In our latest visual, we highlight how the conditions of genocide make it difficult to accurately document the death toll and other aspects of the ongoing Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This visual was inspired by various efforts by public health experts to estimate or project the possible death toll in Gaza, prompting important […]
