Given Netanyahu's deliberate destruction of a number of large apartment buildings in Beirut with U.S. made bunker busting bombs that caused hundreds of civilian casualties, it's important to recall these two points of history:

Replying to @RalphNader
Netanyahu’s war crimes in Beirut, with U.S. backing, are a disgrace to humanity. This isn’t war — this is mass murder orchestrated by a genocidal regime using American bombs. History won’t forget the blood on both their hands.

Canadian doctor Ben Thompson tells the story of a doctor in Gaza who was forced to strip naked and stand for two days by Israeli occupation forces, urinating, and deficating where he stood. He was only allowed then to treat his patients while naked.

Climate pollution is rapidly turning up the heat in Australia. Ever wondered how hot YOUR suburb could get if we don’t cut pollution from coal, oil and gas this decade? Well, today you can find out with our brand new Heat Map tool! climatecouncil.org.au/heatma… #CCHeatMap

Yes, war crime. Yes, prima facie genocide. Looking at the footage out of Rafah one must ask: is there any shred of decency to be found among the Israeli leadership? How many more Palestinian kids are now to be buried under rubble?

Got into a long debate with someone today about the impact of Reverse Power Flow (RPF) on DNSP Transformer (Tx) life. They had managed to find a PPT presented in USA that suggested that excess RPF could shorten Tx life. /2 @xiaowang1984 @roobar99 @evcricket

In Norway they tax the fossil fuel industry and kids go to university for free. In Australia we subsidise the fossil fuel industry and charge our kids to go to university. We raise more from HECS than petroleum resources rent tax. Richard Denniss #auspol #NPC

War is devastating, especially when international humanitarian law is ignored. What are these laws, and how do they apply to the hostilities between Israel and Hamas and affiliated armed groups? ⤵️

Australia’s willful complicity in Israeli war crimes is clear for all to see. That international rules based order works well, if you’re a favored nation. For the rest, Western hypocrisy is clear:
Concerned our Defence Minister @RichardMarlesMP has not had any training in #IHL. What seems to be the disgraceful response from many Western politicians is “we can’t judge” also repeated by @SenatorWong. As Third States we have obligations under the #GenevaConventions 1/

“The hospital resembles a slaughterhouse and the majority of casualties who are coming in are children.” I spoke to @TimesRadio for @MedicalAidPal about the deteriorating situation in #Gaza. The world must act to stop this.

It's absurd that coal miners themselves can create offset credits by opening new coal mines under the safeguard mechanism. This needs to stop.

Whistleblower Richard Boyle is suffering from persecution by prosecution. I again call on the Attorney General, Mark Dreyfus, to use his powers under section 71(b) of the Judiciary Act to end this unreasonable prosecution.

Nature is sending human civilisation into the blender, and then it’s recycling bin 🗑. Time to start over and make something else out of this tragic mess of a species. #anthropology #overshoot #GreenNewDeal #ClimateActionNow teapawt.net/ClimatChristo/status/1…
