There was an independent international inquiry into the Russian missile attack on Malaysia Airlines flight 17 in 2014.

There should be an independent international inquiry into the multiple Israeli missile attacks on aid workers in Gaza.

"Civilization" did not "start" 10,000 years ago. This is a profoundly flawed model of human culture and economics, and constitutes a racist trope that treats hunter-gatherer cultures and economies as "uncivilised".

What started 10,000 years ago was agriculture, and shortly afterwards feudalism and slavery.

The baseless claim that hunter-gatherers have no "civilisation" has been used for centuries to justify continent-wide land theft and genocide of hunter gatherers by agricultural societies. It has no place in science.

“In a statement on Tuesday, the law firm Birchgrove Legal said it had spent months documenting alleged complicity [of Australian government ministers] in relation to alleged genocide in Gaza under Article 15 of the Rome Statute.

“The letter to the ICC was reportedly endorsed by more than 100 Australian lawyers. It cited “unequivocal political support for Israel’s actions” and “permitting Australians, either explicitly or implicitly, to travel to Israel to join the IDF and take part in its attacks on Gaza”.

“One of Australia’s most senior police officers has called for a national overhaul to the way mental health incidents are dealt with, arguing clinicians, not cops, should attend cases if lives are not at risk.”

Kumanjayi Walker and many others would still be alive if this advice was implemented.

“Delivering the judgement, Court President Joan E Donoghue said there is sufficient evidence of dispute for the case to proceed, and that the ICJ has the jurisdiction to rule on the matter.

“In the meantime, until a final ruling is delivered, she said the court was ‘of the view that Israel must take measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide’.

We spend a lot of time talking about psychological in the West - what causes it, how complex it is, and how hard it is to recover from, especially for children. And then our governments stand by and watch as thousands of children are brutally physically and psychologically assaulted by a strategic military ally, and left profoundly traumatised for the rest of their lives. When someone asks what the phrase 'cognitive dissonance' means, tell them this. Tell them that the governments we elect fund and arm a nation that kills a child every 10 minutes.
