Despite Trump’s most extreme ramblings and declarations that he doesn’t care about international law, Labor is still going along with it, Sam Wainwright told the Green Left Show.
Israel's attacks on Iran
NSW Greens Senator David Shoebridge told Suzanne James that Israel and the United States’ attacks on Iran were “outright illegal”, with “no evidence” that Iran is close to having nuclear weapons.
The aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer, a strike by the United States Air Force on three nuclear facilities in Iran authorised by President Donald Trump, was raucous and triumphant. But that depended on what company you were keeping, writes Binoy Kampmark.
The strikes on Iran are the manifestation of a failing international order, where the “mutually binding rules-based order” is being replaced by the pantomime of strongman politics, argues Academics for Palestine WA and Gwen Velge.
Palestine solidarity activists are organising to converge on Parliament House in Canberra to demand Labor places sanctions on genocidal Israel. Jacob Andrewartha reports.
Israel’s pre-emptive, illegal strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was not just an attempt to arrest an alleged existential threat from yielding fruit, it is a murderous exercise of institutional decapitation, argues Binoy Kampmark.
