UN reports say it will cost $53billion and take at least 15 years to rebuild Gaza. 100 trucks working full-time will take 15 years just to remove the rubble. I'd like to see those responsible alone (Israel and the USA) pay for this. #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

"That macabre process can only be stopped if Israeli aggression is halted in its tracks.
"Western nations responsible for the arrival of peacekeepers would at last be taking seriously their commitments to protect peoples from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity."

"We are responding to a genocide. It is not a war. We are asked to cope with despair, to simply observe an organised slaughter by one of the largest most well-equipped armies in the world against a defenceless people who have suffered Israeli death and destruction for decades."

The underwater bushfire
From the beach, you can see the flames burning on the oil and gas rigs that ring the northern part of Ningaloo Reef. Tim Winton calls them “sinister flares”.

"We are concerned that the planned event will serve one purpose only – to propagate an antisemitic agenda and hatred toward Jewish people," the group claimed. How deranged. It’s incredible that La Trobe and the Bendigo Writers Fest took this seriously. They wrecked their own event for this rubbish.
