Australian Military Refuses To Disclose Arms Deal With Israel To Protect Its ‘Reputation’

Australia’s Defence Department has refused a Freedom of Information request about the details of an arms deal with Israel on the grounds that such information “could harm Australia’s international standing and reputation,” which suggests the details must be pretty damning. Equally as scandalous, this refusal was reportedly made in consultation with the Israeli government.

In an article titled “Details of defence deal with Israel kept under wraps to protect Australia’s ‘reputation’,” the ABC’s Andrew Greene details how the Australian military snubbed a Freedom of Information request by the Australian Greens regarding a “Memorandum of Understanding” between Australia and Israel that was signed in 2017.

“The document within the scope of this request contains information which, if released, could reasonably be expected to damage the international relations of the Commonwealth,” the Defence Department said in a letter explaining its rejection.

“A summary provided by the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) to the Greens reveals that the Israeli government was also consulted about releasing the document before Defence ultimately rejected the FOI request,” the ABC reports.

“The document contains information communicated to Australia by a foreign government and its officials under the expectation that it would not be disclosed,” a Defence official wrote in justification of its decision.

Greens senator David Shoebridge objected, saying “There is no place for secret arms treaties and secret arms deals between countries, and there is certainly no place for giving other countries veto power over what the Australian government tells the public about our government’s defence and arms deals.”

“Over 30,000 people have been killed by the State of Israel in Gaza in the past six months. In this context, the Australian public has a right to know about the military trade relationship with the State of Israel,” added Shoebridge.

It’s wild to think about the fact that the Australian warmakers determined this admission, that the truth would harm Australia’s reputation, to be the option that was least destructive to Australia’s reputation. When someone tells you “I can’t tell you the truth about that because the truth will make everyone dislike me,” it means they’ve ruled out every other option before coming to that position because the truth really is that ugly.

It’s like coming home to find your husband frantically burning clothes and mopping up blood and asking him what’s going on, and he says “I can’t tell you because the truth would harm your opinion of me.” Your very first thought after that is going to be that he must have done something very, very bad if that’s the best answer he could give you.

Back in November lawyer and researcher Kelly Trantner published an article with Declassified Australia titled “Australia’s role in the bombing of Gaza” about Israel’s use of Australian equipment to conduct its F-35 bombing campaigns, writing that “no bombs could be dropped on Gaza by an F-35 without parts manufactured for the F-35s by Melbourne company, Rosebank Engineering.”

Trantner notes that more than 70 Australian companies have been awarded “over $4.13 billion in global production and sustainment contracts through the F-35 program to date.” Since the writing of Trantner’s piece, during Israel’s active genocide in Gaza, the Australian Army has drawn controversy by awarding a billion-dollar contract to Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems.

As we’ve discussed many times, Australia is functionally a military and intelligence asset of the same US-centralized empire as Israel. We’re currently falling all over ourselves helping the US prepare for a future war with China, and we’ve been providing logistical support for the US and UK bombing campaign against Ansarallah in Yemen. If all the violence and chaos we’re seeing in the middle east leads to the US committing to a direct full-scale war in the region, we may be absolutely certain that Canberra will march us into that one as well. All while the empire cages an Australian journalist in a maximum security prison for exposing its war crimes.

Australia, like Israel, is not a real country. Like Israel, Australia is nothing other than a settler-colonialist outpost of western imperialism built on genocide, ethnic cleansing and theft, and now operates in a way that is inseparable from the US war machine. This land will never know peace or justice until we have extricated ourselves from the talons of the empire.

Gaza Is Unlike Anything I've Ever Seen, Says NGO Head/Ex-CNN Journalist Arwa Damon

World Marks Six Months of 'Relentless Death and Destruction' in Gaza

Peace and human rights advocates on Sunday renewed calls for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and an increase in lifesaving humanitarian aid for its starving people as the embattled enclave marked six months since the start of Israel's genocidal retaliation for the October 7 attacks.

In six months of bombardment by air, land, and sea following the Hamas-led attacks that killed more than 1,100 people in Israel—with over 240 people taken hostage—Israeli forces have killed or maimed more than 116,000 Palestinians, including people believed to be dead and buried beneath the rubble of hundreds of thousands of bombed-out homes and other buildings. Gazans—especially children—are starving to death as Israel severely restricts the amount of aid allowed to enter the strip. Women are "burying their newborns every day" as they have nothing to feed them.

Around 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been forcibly displaced, perhaps permanently, in what many Palestinians and international observers are calling a new Nakba, the ethnic cleansing catastrophe perpetrated by Jewish militants during the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948. Gaza's infrastructure has been obliterated, with reconstruction expected to cost $18.5 billion, or nearly Palestine's entire annual gross domestic product.

"Over the last six months, the Israeli military campaign has brought relentless death and destruction to Palestinians in Gaza—with more than 32,000 people reportedly killed and more than 75,000 injured—the vast majority women and children," United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said during a press conference marking six months of a war in which the International Court of Justice has found that Israel is plausibly committing genocide.

"During my visit to the Rafah crossing 10 days ago, I met veteran humanitarians who told me categorically that the crisis and suffering in Gaza is unlike any they have ever seen," Guterres continued. "Meanwhile—as I saw on my way to the Rafah crossing—long lines of trucks loaded with humanitarian aid continued to face obstacle after obstacle."

"When the gates to aid are closed, the doors to starvation are opened," he said. "More than half the population—over a million people—are facing catastrophic hunger. Children in Gaza today are dying for lack of food and water. This is incomprehensible, and entirely avoidable. Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people."

Guterres noted the 196 humanitarian aid workers—including more than 175 U.N. personnel and members of Doctors Without Borders, the International Red Crescent, World Central Kitchen, and other organizations—who have been killed by Israeli bombs and bullets over the past six months.

"I repeat my urgent appeals for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire, the unconditional release of all hostages, the protection of civilians, and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid," Guterres said.

Demonstrators took to the streets of cities around the world to condemn Israel's genocide and demand an immediate cease-fire.

There were also protests in cities including Tel Aviv and New York calling for the release of all Israelis and others held hostage in Gaza. New York rabbi Ellen Lippman said she wouldn't be attending the rally because she "cannot call for the release of the hostages without an explicit demand for an immediate cease-fire and an end to the Israeli assault on Gaza."

Left-wing Israelis held vigils outside the U.S. embassies in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Friday to demand an end to Washington's military and diplomatic support for Israel's genocide.

"The United States supplies the guns, and Israel pulls the trigger," organizer Erez Bleicher told the crowd.

Today marks six months of Israel's genocide in Gaza.

With US support, over a hundred thousand Palestinians have been killed, kidnapped, tortured, or injured. Over a million are at risk of starving to death.

President Joe Biden in recent days has urged an immediate cease-fire, even as the U.S. continues to provide the bulk of Israel's weapons. In a Thursday call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden "made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers," the White House said in a statement. "He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action on these steps."

Israel responded by saying it would temporarily allow more aid to enter Gaza.

Father of killed World Central Kitchen worker tells Blinken US should suspend aid to Israel

When the US’s top diplomat called with condolences over the killing of John Flickinger’s son in the Israeli airstrikes on a World Central Kitchen aid convoy in Gaza, Flickinger knew what he wanted to say.

The grieving father told Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, that the killings by Israel in the Hamas-run territory must end – and that the United States needs to use its power and leverage over its closest Middle East ally to make that happen.

Flickinger’s 33-year-old son, Jacob Flickinger, a dual US and Canadian citizen, was among the seven humanitarian workers killed in the 1 April drone strikes.

“If the United States threatened to suspend aid to Israel, maybe my son would be alive today,” John Flickinger told the Associated Press in describing his 30-minute conversation on Saturday with Blinken.

Flickinger said Blinken did not pledge any new policy actions but said the Joe Biden White House had sent a strong message to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, that the relationship between the United States and Israel may change if the Israel Defense Forces do not show more care for the fate of civilians in Gaza.

US-Israel Relationship IRREPARABLE?: Hussein Ibish

Palestinians return to destroyed homes in Khan Younis after Israeli withdrawal

Thousands of Palestinians, exhausted by six months of unrelenting war and multiple displacements, trudged back to the devastated city of Khan Younis on Monday, a day after Israel’s unexpected withdrawal of its forces from southern Gaza. With many making the journey on foot from nearby Rafah, they struggled to find homes that had been atomised by the force of the bombardment in neighbourhoods heavy with the smell of death, where family and neighbours worked to dig out bodies long buried in the rubble.

The retreat of Israel’s 98th division from southern Gaza on Sunday, the day that marked six months since the start of the war, baffled many Israeli commentators, with some suggesting it signalled an end to high-intensity fighting in Gaza. The departure of the forces now leaves only two Israeli brigades inside Gaza tasked with maintaining the physical separation of the northern and southern halves of the strip. ...

While Israel’s military said its withdrawal of forces from southern Gaza was merely a regrouping as the army prepared to move into Hamas’s last stronghold, Rafah, the claim was met with some scepticism by Israeli commentators, who saw little evidence of Israeli preparations for a Rafah offensive or for the evacuation of the 1.4 million Palestinians from the city.

Instead, critics of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, claim he is content to continue the war at a far lower intensity and tempo to prolong the conflict and his own political survival. The suggestion that the withdrawal could signify the war may be winding down sparked alarm among far-right members of Netanyahu’s coalition and newspaper commentators.

Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, warned that “if Netanyahu decides to end the war without an expansive assault in Rafah, he won’t have the mandate to serve as prime minister”. That sentiment was echoed by his far-right colleague Bezalel Smotrich, who called for an immediate security cabinet meeting to discuss the progress of the war.

Netanyahu Says ‘There Is a Date’ for Rafah Invasion

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that “there is a date” set for Israel’s plans to attack the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah but did not share when it would be.

“This victory requires entry into Rafah and the elimination of the terrorist battalions there. It will happen – there is a date,” Netanyahu said.

His comments came a day after the Israeli military withdrew troops from areas of southern Gaza, including the city of Khan Yunis, which was left in ruins.

Hamas, Israel Say No Progress Made in Ceasefire Talks

Both Hamas officials and Israeli officials said on Monday that no progress was made toward a hostage deal in Egyptian and Qatari-mediated ceasefire negotiations that are taking place in Cairo.

Ali Barakam, a senior Hamas official based in Lebanon, said the Palestinian group had rejected the latest proposal from Israel. “We reject the latest Israeli proposals that the Egyptian side informed us of. The politburo met today and decided this,” he told Reuters.

Another unnamed Hamas official said Israel had not changed its position. “There is no change in the position of the occupation (Israel), and therefore, there is nothing new in the Cairo talks,” the official said. An Israeli official told Ynet that they “still don’t see a deal on the horizon” and that the two sides are still far apart.

Pelosi FLIP FLOPS On Conditioning Israeli Aid

Biden's inaction on Gaza puts US troops at risk

Israel’s strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus earlier this week may shatter the month-long ceasefire between U.S. troops and Iran-aligned militias in Iraq and Syria.

While a combination of U.S. strikes and Iranian pressure has reined in the militias for the past two months , Israel may prematurely end the arrangement that kept American soldiers out of harm's way, all the while President Joe Biden has done precious little in practical terms to protect U.S. personnel in the long term by securing a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.

The temporary truce between the U.S. and the Iran-supported militias was never likely to be enduring. A complete end to the attacks would invariably require a ceasefire in Gaza, a reality that Biden administration officials recognize. Just last week, Biden’s own Special Envoy to Yemen, Timothy Lenderking, publicly stated that a ceasefire in Gaza would halt Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.

But even if the truce survives Israel’s attack in Damascus, Biden can’t count indefinitely on luck and should not gamble with the lives of American troops. Thus far, he has squandered the opportunity that the truce provided to secure a ceasefire. The Damascus strikes should be a wake-up call for the White House to get serious about pushing Israel to cease its bombardment of Gaza.

Ecuador’s arrested former vice-president taken to hospital

Ecuador’s former vice-president Jorge Glas has reportedly been taken to hospital from the maximum security jail where he was being held – three days after the politician was captured inside Mexico’s embassy in Quito during a police raid that drew outrage across Latin America. ...

It was not immediately clear why the former vice-president – who had been twice convicted of corruption and was considered a fugitive by Ecuadorian authorities – had been taken to hospital. Several local newspapers reported that the politician had suffered drug intoxication, although it was not immediately possible to verify the claims.

In a statement, Glas’s lawyer, Andrés Villegas Pico, said he had been told by the prison warden that his client had been found “unawakened” in his cell at 8.30am. “Security personnel claimed Glas had not wanted to eat food for the whole of Sunday … it is assumed he took an overdose of medication in order to sleep,” Villegas added. His lawyer said he had “no further details of what happened, of his medical progress, or a clear diagnosis”, adding: “His life is in danger.”

Ecuador’s prison authority claimed that, after refusing prison food for 24 hours, Glas had suffered a “possible imbalance” and been taken to hospital by paramedics. His condition was stable and he would remain under observation, it said on Monday afternoon.

Macron teams up with Cameron for Russia conflict

House intelligence chair says Republicans are ‘absolutely’ repeating Russian propaganda

Mike Turner, the chairperson of the US House intelligence committee, says some of his fellow Republicans are “absolutely” repeating Russian propaganda on the chamber floor, echoing a similar claim made recently by another rightwing American lawmaker.

“It is absolutely true we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” the Ohio congressman told CNN’s State of the Union show.

Turner maintained that one high-profile instance of such misinformation centered on cases where federal lawmakers have sought to portray Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine as a war between Nato and Vladimir Putin’s forces.

“Of course it is not,” Turner said. “To the extent that this propaganda takes hold, it makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle.”

Turner has openly advocated for continuing to provide US aid to Ukraine in its efforts to fend off Russia’s invasion. His comments Sunday came days after Michael McCaul, chairman of the House foreign affairs committee, told Puck News that misinformation in favor of Russian interests had found a foothold among his fellow Republicans. “Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base,” McCaul said to Puck.

Exclusive: groups call for US inquiry into police killing of ‘Cop City’ protester

Human rights groups have filed a petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights calling for a US Department of Justice investigation into the police killing of “Cop City” protester Manuel Paez Terán, as well as the release of all related evidence, and apologies to the family from the US government.

Two organizations – Robert F Kennedy Human Rights and the Southern Center for Human Rights – together with the University of Dayton Human Rights Center filed the 37-page petition to the Washington DC-based commission, on behalf of Paez Terán, also known as “Tortuguita”, and their mother, Belkis Terán. The Guardian obtained an exclusive view of the document.

The petition narrates details of Atlanta and state government and law enforcement behaviors before, during and since Paez Terán’s killing, with references to violations of human rights guaranteed by articles in the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, the document created by the nascent Organization of American States (OAS) in 1948 that guides the commission. The commission became part of the OAS in 1959. It monitors human rights violations in countries of the Americas and receives petitions from victims. The commission can accept or reject the premises of a petition and communicate suggestions to nations for repairing the violations.

Georgia state troopers shot and killed Paez Terán, who used they/them pronouns, on 18 January of last year during a raid on a forested public park south-east of Atlanta. The activist was camped in protest against plans for building the police and fire department training center in the same forest, about a mile away. The killing was the first such incident in US history. ... After Paez Terán’s killing, the activist’s family, including Belkis Terán, began a process that continues unfulfilled – seeking evidence from the state about what happened.

The same agency that led the raid, the Georgia bureau of investigation, or GBI, also investigated the shooting, eventually handing over its evidence to a special prosecutor, George Christian. The prosecutor concluded in October that shooting and killing Paez Terán had been “objectively reasonable” – particularly since the 26-year-old had shot and wounded an officer first, the prosecutor’s report alleged. Both Christian and the GBI refused to release the investigative file underpinning these conclusions to the Paez Terán family or to the public, calling it part of an ongoing investigation into dozens of other “Cop City” activists.

Biden Unveils Student Loan Relief Plan AGAIN; $100K College Tuition?!

Biden announces new plan to cancel student loans for 30m borrowers

Joe Biden announced plans to cancel student loans for 30 million borrowers on Monday, the administration’s latest push on addressing student debt before the presidential election.

The plan primarily targets borrowers who have accrued a high level of interest on their debt and those who have been in repayment for at least 20 years. Borrowers who face extreme economic hardship could also see some relief.

The White House said that parts of the plan could begin to take effect in the early fall, at the earliest. In addition to a waiting period to receive public comment, the administration is expecting legal challenges from Republicans that could stall the plan from going into effect. ...

The bulk of borrowers impacted by the plan will be those who owe more than their original balance because of accumulated interest. Borrowers who make under $120,000 a year, or married borrowers who make under $240,000, will automatically receive cancellation for the amount their balance has grown because of interest, up to $20,000. This cancellation will be automatic, and the administration estimates it will impact more than 25 million borrowers.

The plan also targets borrowers who have held their debt for nearly 20 years. Borrowers who started repayment on their undergraduate debt on or before 1 July 2005 or their graduate school debt on or before 1 July 2000 will see the rest of their loans forgiven. The White House estimates about 2.5 million borrowers would be affected by this.

New York appeals judge rejects Trump’s request to delay hush-money trial

A New York appeals court judge has rejected former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his 15 April hush-money criminal trial while he fights to move the case out of Manhattan. The decision came Monday, a week before jury selection was set to start. Trump’s lawyers had argued at an emergency hearing that the trial should be postponed while they seek a change of venue to move it out of heavily Democratic Manhattan.

Trump was ready on Monday to sue the judge in his New York hush-money case a week before the start of the much-anticipated trial, the New York Times reported, detailing yet another attempt by the former president to delay legal proceedings against him.

Citing court records indicating the filing of sealed documents and two unnamed sources with knowledge of the matter, the paper said the aim was to delay trial and challenge a gag order imposed by the judge. “Mr Trump’s unorthodox move – essentially an appeal in the form of a lawsuit – is unlikely to succeed, particularly so close to trial,” the paper said.

Facing 34 criminal charges related to hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, an adult film star who claimed an affair with him, Trump has pleaded not guilty. He has repeatedly attacked the judge in the case, Juan Merchan, and members of his family, alleging political bias. The trial is set for Manhattan next Monday and will be the first criminal trial involving a former US president.

Trump to seek federal investigations of Biden if re-elected, report says

Donald Trump will seek to mount federal investigations and prosecutions of Joe Biden and his family if Trump wins re-election this year, the news site Axios reported.

“Everything you have seen from the Biden Department of Justice you can expect to see from the Trump DoJ,” a source “close to the Trump campaign” was quoted as saying.

Another “Trump ally” said current federal charges against Trump were all the precedent Trump would need to prosecute Biden in turn.

Trump is virtually certain to be the Republican nominee in November and regularly bests Biden in head-to-head polling. Trump is also performing strongly in key swing states.

US meat lobby delighted at ‘positive’ prospects for industry after Cop28

Lobbyists for the world’s biggest meat companies have lauded a better than expected outcome at Cop28, which they say left them “excited” and “enthusiastic” for their industry’s prospects. US livestock bosses reflected on the conference’s implication for their sector on a virtual panel, fresh from “sharing US agriculture’s story” at the climate summit in December.

Campaigners and climate scientists had hoped the summit, which was billed as a “Food Cop” because of its focus on farming, would result in governments agreeing to ambitious action to transform food systems in line with the goals of the Paris climate agreement. But while more than 130 governments vowed to tackle agriculture’s carbon footprint, a slew of announcements and initiatives failed to set binding targets, or to broach the question of reducing herds of ruminant livestock such as cattle and sheep, which are agriculture’s largest driver of emissions.

In the online discussion, which was hosted by the trade publication Feedstuffs, meat lobbyist groups made it clear they felt Cop28 resulted in a positive outcome. The three representatives all said there had been widespread recognition at the Dubai summit that agriculture was a “solution” to the climate crisis, despite livestock accounting for more than 30% of anthropogenic methane emissions.

Outcomes at the summit were characterised as “far more positive … than we anticipated” by Constance Cullman, the president of the Animal Feed Industry Association (AFIA), a US lobby group whose members include some of the world’s biggest meat and animal feed producers. ... Cullman also praised the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)’s “Global Roadmap” to tackle the climate crisis and end hunger, which she described as “music to our ears”, saying she particularly welcomed the report’s emphasis on “production and efficiency” over “looking at reduced consumption of animal protein”.

Academics described the FAO report’s failure to recommend cuts to meat-eating as “bewildering” in a March submission to the journal Nature Food.

Why are so many of India’s elephants being hit by trains?

In India, death from train collisions is the second-highest cause of unnatural elephant deaths, after accidental electrocution. Official data shows that more than 200 elephants were killed in train collisions in the past 10 years. “There’s blood on the tracks when railway lines go through forest areas,” Kartick Satyanarayan of Wildlife SOS says.

Indian elephants are classed as endangered, with numbers declining: about 40-50,000 remained in the wild globally at the last assessment in 2019. More than half of the species’ total range has disappeared or been highly fragmented by human settlements, roads and farms. The Wildlife SOS elephant conservation and care centre is a sanctuary for rescued elephants, many of which have come from circuses, hotels, wedding businesses or temples. ...

The increasing number of elephants being killed by trains has led to calls for changes to the way the railways are managed. Last year, Tamil Nadu in south India installed an AI-enabled surveillance system to monitor elephant movement near railway tracks to help prevent accidents. Sensors pick up elephant movement and alert train drivers, station staff and line controllers.

In other areas, the railways are being fitted with similar systems that sense vibrations, detecting the presence of elephants with nearly 100% accuracy. A system installed in north-east India triggers more than 40 alerts a day. Flyovers covered with foliage are another option to provide a safe passage for wildlife. In West Bengal, a flyover lined with bamboo and banana trees has been built to encourage elephants to use it and cross the track safely.

But rolling out safety measures is a huge challenge. Indian Railways spans 130,000km (81,000 miles) of track and the country has 150 elephant corridors.
