"There were about 20 prison guards who surrounded Dr. Adnan and started beating him with hands, feet, sticks, boots, electricity, everything. The young man said the doctor was beaten for about half an hour as he cried out for help. After half an hour, his voice faded and there was no sound left, but they could still hear the sound of the beating. It seemed the doctor had passed out; he wasn’t moving. But despite that, they continued beating him. He told me that after they were finished, we were transferred to Section 23, and they started waking the doctor up, telling him, ‘Get up, you dog! Get up, you this and that!’, swearing at him.”

Please send an email demanding that Australia independently investigate Zomi's killing.
Needless to say, the result of Israel's investigation is that it has cleared itself of any wrongdoing.

ISRAEL KILLED ZOMI. THEN IT CLEARED ITSELF. Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom was killed while taking food to starving people in Gaza. This wasn't one strike. Israel struck three World Central Kitchen vehicles, one after another. Survivors escaped the first vehicle and moved to the second. Israel....

“I promised to worsen the conditions of [detainees] in prisons – we kept it,” he said. “I promised to pass the Death Penalty for Terrorists Law – we did. And now the death row and hanging facility are also starting to take shape.”

“We are making history. Our [detainees] deserve only one thing – death by hanging,” he continued.

The remarks refer to legislation passed by the Israeli parliament in March introducing the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis.

Now he is building a viewing platform for Israeli families to watch.
Add this to his recent proposal to build moats around prisons that hold Palestinian detainees, moats filled with crocodiles.

Ben Gvir’s proposal, is tragically far from satire. The National Security Ministry has budgeted around $7 million for the construction of the moats, which are underway. This includes long-term plans for the reptiles’ maintenance and care.
But wait...the plan has been placed on hold; not out of concern for Palestinians who may be subjected to these barbarically punitive measures, including a death roll, but because of concerns for the animals’ welfare.

SANCTION ISRAEL!

Israel is building hanging facilities for Palestinian prisoners despite a pending legal challenge, as Ben-Gvir unveils plans for executions.

Kites flown by Palestinian children in Gaza are now being cited by the Israeli military as justification for further strikes and displacement across the Strip.

This from the same "moral army" that manufactures toys to leave lying around to attract the attention of Palestinian kids, that detonate on contact, blowing the unsuspecting child to pieces.

Sanction Israel FFS!

Israeli officials hold a special security meeting over Gaza's paper kites, warning they would be treated as drones.

Lord Lane, Lord Chief Justice of England from 1980 to 1992, put it best of all in a House of Lords debate on April 7 1989:

“Loss of freedom seldom happens overnight. Oppression doesn’t stand on the doorstep with toothbrush moustache and sw****ka armband — it creeps up insidiously… step by step, and all of a sudden the unfortunate citizen realises that it is gone.”

Below is the text of the closing speech Tony Greenstein prepared for the end of his trial at Kingston Crown Court.

"The International Association of Genocide Scholars describes the Israeli war on Gaza as meeting the legal definition of genocide. The association’s position came after a vote, so we know it reflects the judgement of 86% of its members.

Almost all the major human rights organisations and NGOs agree, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B’Tselem, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, Genocide Watch, the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights, the Middle East Studies Association, Oxfam and Physicians for Human Rights Israel.

Yet most liberal news outlets still do not use the word “genocide” in relation to Gaza."

Almost all major human rights organisations agree the destruction of Gaza meets the legal definition of genocide. Yet liberal news outlets still do not use the word.

Fremantle Network Politics in the Pub:
"What is the current state of free speech in Australia? What restrictions are there on what professionals are permitted to talk about in universities, hospitals, in the media, and in the eyes of the law?
"Difficulties in discussing international affairs, such as the Israel and Palestine conflict, are compounded by the contested terms of the Royal Commission. Protestors and the rights of activists, particularly those concerning the environment and Palestine, are subject to increasing government curtailment. Social media discourse is increasingly shaped by mysterious algorithms and filled with bots, while the role of traditional journalists and news editors is increasingly contested. Clearly, free speech in Australia is a pressing topic with much at stake.

Antisemitism, Fagan said, is simply “hostility to Jews for their Jewishness”. It is real, repugnant and must be confronted. Israel is a foreign state. Zionism is a political ideology. Neither is entitled to immunity from condemnation.

Protecting Jewish Australians is essential. Protecting a foreign government from criticism is not.

The Israel lobby wrote itself a dictionary - the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Justice Desmond Fagan, NSW Supreme Court, collapsed it.
