A deeply disturbing and meticulously documented report by historians Liat Kozma and Lee Mordechai of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem traces the starvation of Gaza over the past three years through data, testimony, official statements, food prices, aid access, and powerful visual storytelling.👇

The report documents not only the collapse of food access and humanitarian relief, but also the public rhetoric surrounding it, including statements by Israeli officials openly discussing restrictions on food, water, electricity, and aid. It shows how aid convoys became lifelines measured in “tons of survival,” while ordinary Palestinians faced destroyed roads, military checkpoints, looting, shortages, and impossible food prices.

Budget earmarks more than $600m for Bondi attack response, with half going to Australia’s Jewish community

The less than representative Executive Council of Australian Jewry, the self-proclaimed national peak body, will receive $124m for extra (private?) security.

Projects run by Jewish community organisations will receive $131m.

And the Royal Commission into Anti-semitism hasn't even presented it's report yet.

Royal Commissioner Virginia Bell has already indicated (sotto voce) that data presented to the RC as evidence may be deeply flawed.

But the government does not need evidence, the outcome of this Royal Commission was determined long before it began.

“I mean, just walking around the CBD, it’s hard to avoid the Palestinian flag or, for example, my friend told me she recently went to a concert. She had a great time and at the end, the performer just said, “Thank you and free Palestine” and I think that happens almost every single day, and, yes,

, yes, it’s very tiring, yes.” – Léa Levy – May 5, Day 2, p154, line 25
