Morality and justice are not determined by body counts but a fraction of history shows Israel as a militarised, apartheid state which cultivates violent racism towards another people, argues Stuart Rees.

New Zealand has taken another shameful act in its tone deaf approach to Israel鈥檚 War on Gaza this week by declaring Hamas a 鈥渢errorist entity鈥 at a time when millions are marching worldwide for an immediate ceasefire and a lasting peace founded on an independent state of Palestine, writes David Robie.

The Palestine solidarity movement is shaking politics up:听81%听want听Israel to ceasefire听and 53% want Labor to take more action to achieve a ceasefire. Chloe DS reports.

Philippe Lazzarini expressed听dismay听by the speed at which international funding has听been cut to UNRWA听saying the decisions threaten humanitarian work in the Gaza Strip. Binoy Kampmark reports.

Nobody who supports justice could consider cutting funds to the main organisation trying to support Gazans fleeing from one end of the Gaza Strip to the other. Labor听has to be pressured to reverse its untenable position, argues听Alex Bainbridge.

A tragic inversion of the concept of justice is being exploited in the 鈥渃onflict鈥 in Gaza, argues Tony Smith.

The orders apply to Israel, but conspicuously missing in the International Criminal Court's听interim order听is an听explicit demand that it pause or stop听military operations in Gaza. Binoy Kampmark reports.

Australia has not said much about听South Africa鈥檚 case against听Israel's genocide at the International Court of Justice. Alex Bainbridge writes that while Canberra generally supports听the US听on Israel, it is also giving itself some wriggle room.
