Khaled Ghannam argues there are many questions regarding Labor’s position on this genocidal war on Gaza, including why it is not assisting Palestinian-Australians to leave the war zone.

The Independent and Peaceful Australia Network has launched an online petition calling for the termination of the Force Posture Agreement. Bevan Ramsden reports.

Labor needs reminding that war crimes do not justify further war crimes and even less so do they justify genocide, argues Alex Bainbridge.

This joint statement, led by Amnesty International Australia, is seeking organisational signatories. It plans to present the statement to federal Labor in the week beginning October 23.

Please sign this petition which was initiated by members from the NSW National Tertiary Education Union and NSW Nurses and Midwives Association.

The Western media was and is enthusiastically cheerleading Israel's genocidal attacks, writes Alex Bainbridge.

Apartheid Israel has ordered 1 million Palestinians to leave the northern part of Gaza on pain of death. Gideon Polya reports on the projected Palestinian/Israeli death ratios in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

The federal government has rushed to secure the evacuation of Israeli-Australians but Palestinian-Australians are not receiving the same assistance. Khalid Ghannam reports.

Most First Nations people have rightly felt the result of the Voice referendum as a slap in the face, but the movement needs to look forward and continue to pressure Labor to implement the Statement from the Heart in full, argues Peter Boyle.

It is not the time to be silent, argues Amy McQuire. We must recentre this No vote on what we already know is true: racism and white supremacy. we must stand not only for each other, but our Indigenous brothers and sisters in Palestine.
