Puppydog eyes. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Four frames. Intro: “Sometimes it’s hard to say ‘NO’ when they give you those big eyes. 1. Sitting white dog with black spot, paw raised, tail wagging, big eyes, thinks, “You gave me that tax break once before, and that means I should always get that tax break.” 2. Fluffy grey dog, big eyes, sitting with paws raised, “But how would I reap such fabulous profits from gambling addicts if you took away my poker machines?” 3. Large brown dog crouching flat with tongue out, big eyes, tail wagging, “Even if they do use masses of water and electricity, and AI is an existential threat to humanity, all the cool kids have data centres…” 4. Little fluffy blond dog, big eyes, belly up, “If you keep subsidising my digging up resources and diesel fuel use, I promise I’ll cut back on my emissions.”

The IDF has allowed 5 Israeli soldiers who raped a Palestinian detainee from #Gaza at Sde Teiman military facility to resume duty. The rape was filmed. Israeli PM Netanyahu described the IDF soldiers as "heroes". The charges against them were dropped on "procedural" grounds. #IsraeliTerrorism

Israeli Chief of Staff allows soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian detainee to return to duty.

On 5 July 2024, five Israeli soldiers at the Sde Teiman military facility raped a handcuffed, blindfolded Palestinian detainee from Gaza with a sharp object inserted into his anus, resulting in broken ribs, a punctured lung, and internal rectal tears.

I’ve meet a lot of Americans over the years and have mostly been left with a positive impression. That said, they are now an overwhelmingly sick society that has enabled their representatives to act in such a depraved manner. FMD they’re grotesque.

MSF: “The injured children lost their mother in the attack, who was pregnant with twins. ‘She was due in three months. Now, the kids lost both parents and their sibling. The scene was horrific. Bodies flew in the air and shrapnel exploded everywhere.’”

@MSF
🚨 Gaza: On 15 March, Israeli strikes killed 13 people and injured many more during attacks in Deir El-Balah, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. In response, our teams received nine patients at our field hospital.

In the morning, we received four patients: an 11-year-old boy who was dead on arrival and his three siblings (aged 2, 6, and 13 years) with moderate injuries. Both parents were killed. In the afternoon, our team treated five more patients with shrapnel injuries, including severe cases.

The injured children lost their mother in the attack, who was pregnant with twins. “She was due in three months. Now, the kids lost both parents and their sibling. The scene was horrific. Bodies flew in the air and shrapnel exploded everywhere,” says the children’s aunt.

Israeli attacks continue to kill and injure people in Gaza despite the ceasefire. In the aftermath, patients will endure long-term, life-altering physical and psychological wounds. We are providing trauma, surgical and rehabilitative care, as well as mental health support.

💢 Israel’s attacks on Lebanon have now killed 886 people and wounded 2,141, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

➤ The dead include 111 children, while 332 children have also been wounded.

➤ Among those killed are 38 healthcare workers, including medics, paramedics, and nurses.

➤ Five of those medical workers were killed Monday, including two on-duty paramedics in Kfarsir and three responders inside an ambulance in Aytit.

Today’s Israeli attacks again targeted medical professionals, killing two on-duty paramedics in Kfarsir and three more in Aytit who were inside an ambulance.

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the number of paramedics killed has now reached 38, while the overall death toll now stands at 886, as the aggression enters its third week.

A few days ago I was at the scene of an Israeli bombing and a civil defense worker came to me and asked for a photo and mentioned that it might be his last.

Israel has a long history of targeting paramedics. Targeting medical professionals is a war crime.

It's true. The village where I live, Trumpton (ironically enough), is ruled by a ruthless Islamic mullah sultan called 'Windy Miller' who was allowed to put windmills everywhere after converting to fundamentalist Islam. Under Sharia law he hangs us from the blades if we speak English or love Jesus.

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms. It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

Combatting Antisemitism Czar™️, Jillian Segal's, hand-picked University Report card independent assessor - Greg Craven - brings novel views and thoughts to the position.

Craven speaking at the Skynews antisemitism Summit last year states if he was still a Vice Chancellor he'd break hateful occupation or demonstration and engage police in prosecuting demonstrators, and impose disciplinary processes, and if that was legally challenged he would create new harsher disciplinary measures. Craven was handpicked by Combatting Antisemitism Czar, Jillian Segal, as the "independent" assessor to judge her, and now the Government's University Report Card project.

In what world would this be considered a “ceasefire” except the one where our prime minister calls for “social cohesion” then invites the leader of a state committing genocide to pop over for a visit whilst simultaneously arming them with weapons for that same genocide.
