AARON PATRICK: The struggle over Palestine and Israel is being waged with a vitriol and intensity that suggests the age-old conflict has become firmly rooted in Australia.

The former US diplomat who told Anthony Albanese to expel the Iranian Ambassador one year ago has urged the Prime Minister to consider covert and military retaliation.

The Opposition and Australian Jewish groups have slammed the Albanese Government for not heeding their warnings to classify a branch of Iran’s military as an official terrorist organisation sooner. 

The Israeli army says its strike on a hospital that killed 20 people, including five reporters, was aimed at what officials believed was a Hamas surveillance camera.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese insists his government will ‘continue’ to work ‘each and every day’ to make Australia’s Jewish community safe from the Revolutionary Guard in Iran.

The expulsion of Iran’s envoy comes after a string of controversies since taking on the role in Canberra in mid-2023 and multiple calls for the Albanese Government to send him packing.

The state-backed military force accused of orchestrating firebombings against Australia’s Jewish community has a history of violent terrorism against the West. What is it and how does it use its power?

Australia will work to list a branch of Iran’s military as an official terrorist organisation in the wake of shocking Iran orchestrated anti-Semitic attacks in Australia and two years after Coalitions calls. 

An urgent travel warning has been issued to Australians after it was revealed Iran orchestrated local attacks on the Jewish community.

Anthony Albanese has expelled Iran’s Ambassador to Australia Ahmad Sadeghi and three other officials and accused the Middle East nation of orchestrated attacks on Jewish communities.

The five journalists had worked for news outlets that included Reuters, The Associated Press and Al Jazeera, according to their employers.

A senior Labor minister has condemned Israel’s deadly strike on a Gaza hospital after the death of five reporters.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has responded after Israeli strikes killed 20 people, including five journalists.

BREN CARLILL: International aid and human rights organisations are so intoxicated with Palestine Kool-Aid that they have failed to consider how their credibility has been tarnished.

Protests are expected to continue on a larger, nationally coordinated scale as huge numbers turned out across Australia to call for an end to war in Gaza.
