Distorting international law gives terrorist groups like Hamas impunity

October 25, 2023 | Jamie Hyams

The October 7 Hamas atrocities caused the largest loss of Jewish life on any single day since the Holocaust, and were characterised by a barbarity not seen since ISIS. And just as was the case with ISIS, peace will only have a chance when Hamas is no longer in a position to thwart it.

The Oct. 7 atrocities are already being forgotten

October 25, 2023 | Justin Amler

It should be simple: Israel experienced one of the worst, bloodiest, most inhuman terror attacks in modern times, perpetrated by a genocidal extremist group listed as a terrorist organisation in Australia and around the world. It has the right and duty under international law to do whatever is necessary to defend itself from this terror group, which in the current circumstances can only mean removing that terror group’s ability to run Gaza as a permanent armed terrorist camp. Why is this so hard for people to remember and understand?

The last few years have seen an explosion of moral panic over the dangers of misinformation and disinformation. Yet it’s quite clear when it comes to Israel that many Western journalists are great purveyors of both, and seem constitutionally incapable of accurately reporting on the country, from the broader context down to the basic details.

October 24, 2023 | Colin Rubenstein

The lies about the hospital are part of a larger campaign by Hamas, together with willing allies devoted to supporting Palestinian “resistance”, to prevent effective Israeli self-defence against Hamas following the worst one-day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

The worst of the Australian media coverage

October 19, 2023 | Allon Lee

The wealth of video and audio footage showing in sickening detail the enormity of the crimes against humanity that Hamas’ terrorists perpetrated against Israeli civilians on October 7 resulted in the unusual situation wherein media coverage was overwhelmingly sympathetic to Israel. Of course, this did not mean there was no problematic content.
