'You think you are prepared, but nothing prepares you for Gaza. I've been doing this for 30 years.' Renee Van de Weerdt, WHO representative.

Statement on Senator Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address Senator Pauline Hanson used the National Press Club to revive a tired and divisive narrative: blaming Muslims, multiculturalism and immigration for Australia’s challenges. The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) rejects that premise entirely. We will not respond from a position of apology for our faith, our community, or our place in this country. Muslims have been part of this continent’s story since before British settlement. Makassan traders from the islands to our north were visiting the coasts of Arnhem Land and trading with Aboriginal people for generations before the First Fleet arrived. The cameleers who helped open the interior came later, and the first mosques were built under Queen Victoria in the 1800s. We are not guests asking to stay. This is our home, and our place in it is settled. ANIC opposes violence and incitement without reservation, whoever commits it. But Senator Hanson draws no meaningful line between a criminal fringe and well over a million Australian Muslims. To vilify an entire faith community is not policy. It is division dressed as public debate, and it weakens the social harmony Australia needs. We would add a point of principle. The label “extreme” is often applied selectively and politically. A view that one person finds extreme, another may regard as ordinary. Many Australians, by that same measure, would regard Senator Hanson’s own views as extreme. More importantly, holding a strong or unpopular opinion is not a crime, and it does not lead inevitably to violence. A confident society tolerates a wide range of beliefs and judges people by their actions, not their thoughts. The distinction Senator Hanson refuses to make, between belief and violence, and between a community and the few who break the law, is the very distinction that protects everyone’s freedom, including her own. Australia’s real pressures, housing, energy and the cost of living, are not eased by blaming those who pray differently, look different, or speak another language at home. Australia is strongest when it protects freedom of religion, equal citizenship, multicultural harmony and respectful disagreement. ANIC’s invitation to Senator Hanson stands, as it has for many years. We believe in dialogue with all Australians and remain open to engaging constructively for the greater good of our nation and the country we all share.

@timmiejj @Acyn Gold!! You win the Internet today!

@themongrelpunt So many instances of players throwing the ball, not hand calling, not being penalised. If umps not going to enforce, change the rules

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.” Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

🇬🇧🇵🇸🇮🇱 Un cirujano británico que trabajó en Gaza relató. “Después de los bombardeos aéreos israelíes, llegaban los drones de las FDI… Apuntaban y disparaban deliberadamente a los heridos que yacían en el suelo. Incluso a niños. Los remataban en el sitio.” No contentos con masacrar desde el aire, los soldados israelíes usan drones para cazar y ejecutar a los sobrevivientes heridos. Una política sistemática de rematar civiles.Esto no es guerra. Esto es caza de seres humanos, asesinato a sangre fría de heridos y niños. El mundo entero debe escuchar este testimonio. No hay justificación posible. Testimonio estremecedor ante el Parlamento Británico

More than 6,300 children have been detained by ICE during President Trump's 2nd term. 97% have no criminal records. cbsn.ws/4dVhatF

@donwinslow @ItsBouquet Seriously doubt the military is wanting a ballroom at the White House like Trump claims

@Squida21 @Sammy__Edmund This sort of stuff not really helping the family at an already difficult time

@PressSec Delusional. Keep drinking the Koolade!!

@senatorbabet Women have as much right to make their own life choices as men. The Handmaid’s Tale used to be considered dystopian fiction but your misogynistic views would have our sole life purpose to be subservient breeders.

@Bubtok @JLonokapu @ym_igws We’re 51% of the world’s population and have our own stories to tell, not continuing to be depicted as either sex object, wife or mother that the male gaze would consign us too

@JLonokapu @ym_igws Not linked. Men don’t have the monopoly on storytelling.

@3YearLetterman Facts don’t seem to be your strong suit. 1. Good Friday is the day Jesus was crucified, not his resurrection which took place on Easter Sunday. 2. God’s son Jesus is not an American. 3. Bible was originally written in Hebrew, translated into many other languages

@JLonokapu @ym_igws Society’s obsession with youth means we see less of these women as they age, there’s traditionally been less roles written for them for the years between young women and elderly women but thankfully changing now as more women taking on producing, directing and writing roles

@ProjectLincoln Can’t walk and chew gum at the same time apparently…
