While several threats and apprehensions remain for the people of Gaza, there is reason enough now for some precious moments of cheer and celebration. Yes, this too is necessary, the human spirit needs this. When people have suffered so much for such a long time, the moments of relief and some joy must be clinched when they appear after a long time and must be celebrated.

For Indigenous Australians and anti-racist non-Indigenous Australians 26 January is Invasion Day marking the British invasion of Australia on 26 January 1788 and the commencement of the horrific Australian Aboriginal Genocide. However for thoughtless and racist Mainstream Australians 26 January is Australia Day that celebrates the creation of European Australia. Gaza Genocide-complicit, US lackey and Zionist-perverted Mainstream Australia is committed to genocidal racism and egregious lying.

An estimated 1.3 million people had sought refuge in Rafah after being displaced from other areas of Gaza during the genocidal war. All have gone through harrowing experiences.

Palestinian Territory – Israel’s consistent obstructions of all United Nations investigations into allegations of sexual violence since 7 October 2023 is profoundly concerning. These obstructions, coupled with substantial evidence indicating systematic and widespread acts of rape and other forms of sexual violence by Israeli forces against Palestinians, including prisoners and detainees, constitute grave violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.

Suddenly, Yoav Gallant, Israel’s notorious Minister of Defense, disappeared into obscurity. The man who served in his country’s military for about 35 years, in politics for nearly 10, and oversaw major wars, including the ongoing genocide in Gaza, quickly retreated from headlines and political significance.

The lives of newborn babies and other patients are at risk in three hospitals in Gaza, as they run out of fuel. The lack of fuel, needed to run generators for electricity, could be catastrophic for those who need machines to stay alive. We call on all parties to facilitate the entry of fuel into Gaza and to ensure its safe delivery to medical facilities.

The genocide in Gaza has entered its 15th month. More than 44,000 Palestinians have been killed so far by Israel. 17,000 of them are children. This is the largest number of children killed in a genocide over a fourteen-month period. A large number of women have also lost their lives. Children and women constitute the majority of those killed. Palestinians in the West Bank are also victims.

The Preamble to the Indian Constitution serves as a guiding light, encapsulating the fundamental values that underpin the Indian Republic. These values – democracy, secularism, justice, equality, liberty, and fraternity – form the bedrock of India’s constitutional framework. Interestingly, these principles resonate deeply with the Quran, revealing a profound convergence of universal values.
