International law claims unfounded: Unpublished letter to the Sydney Morning Herald/ Age
January 23, 2026 | Arsen Ostrovsky
One does not need to be an international law scholar to know that there is absolutely no law, treaty or convention that affords any kind of legal right to kill civilians, take hostages, or carry out terror attacks.

Fringe group gets antisemitism wrong: Unpublished letter to The Age/Sydney Morning Herald
January 23, 2026 | Jamie Hyams
