Not a demolition zone!

 


At first sight you may think, well this is just a demolition zone?


Think again.


This is not a demolition zone, 

it is a crime against humanity.

 

The Israeli Demolition Force created this pile of rubble from 

what was once a thriving city in Gaza. 


Gaza currently looks like a demolition zone, but that did not happen overnight.

 It has taken more than 2 years to create this rubble of demolished buildings 

but the monstrous people of the Israeli Government are still not satisfied.


3 DAYS AGO


                                                    

     Israeli forces have continued their merciless bombardment 

        and killed more than 500 people in Gaza in the past 5 weeks!

How many more have been injured in the same period.

And yet the world looks on.

HOW CAN THIS BE?


For their part the people of Gaza who have survived 

the remorseless onslaught since October 2023

are doing their best to make a go of it.

See, they're having a picnic! 

These fortunate people seem happy enough don't they?

They even have a table and a carpet which they've saved from the rubble.

And they also have food!


 This family enjoys warmth from a fire. 

There's no shortage of smashed furniture from which to light a fire.


I wonder what this young mother tells her son as they walk to the supermarket?

Of course, there's no supermarket, they're just looking for handouts and scraps.

Don't worry, there are lots of scraps to be found amongst the rubble!


The rubble is endless. 

The demolition zone is endless.

The vengeance of the Israeli Government is endless.

The United Nations have no answers.

The world is looking on, but the world has no answers!

HOW CAN THIS BE?

    It is a huge tragedy Bill, I simply do not know how they can have any hope for the future.

    Clearly the travelling showman thinks the work here is done;
    his 'peace' and 'job done' sales job means we can all look somewhere else now.
    The circus clown has created other more tantalising spectacles to look at.
    And so we do.
    So tragic.
    Thanks for highlighting Peter.

      It is the playing out of the devil’s game and it’s horrendous. Now that doesn’t mean I’m simplifying this atrocity.
      Is there an end in sight to this fresh hell (I wish I could say yes) but, no. Everyone with power has literally lost their marbles and they are scattered all over the globe. Thank you Peter for your writing of words. I can’t say more at the moment but I wake up everyday and fear what the hell today. But today I will go and spend time with my granddaughter and she brings me joy.

Farewell To A Dear Friend

Image
Our friend Nigel Buesst. A friendship of so many years, 62 years since we first met. Plenty of water under the bridge. Nigel at home with his minder, Jedda  photo by Ivan Gaal I was just starting out in my life as a filmmaker, working at the State Film Centre in the library section. One day I was on counter duties, receiving films returning from borrowers and handing out films to other borrowers. In walked Nigel with a bundle of films under his arm, returning them from a film society he was involved with at the time. I think it was the CSIRO film group and Nigel was collecting another bundle which they would run in an upcoming programme. A short conversation of a few minutes at the counter established that we were both interested in making films and soon enough we became close friends. Nigel was about to shoot “Fun Radio” which was a real buzz for me. He asked me to shoot a few shots from his fancy sports car so I got to operate his new Bolex camera for a tracking shot or two as ...

The End of Humanity!

  A ward in a major hospital in Gaza, image courtesy of Médecins Sans Frontières Australia Well, I hope I will never have to be admitted to a hospital with facilities devastated like this. In fact I have a great aversion to hospitals even when they are relatively clean and well run as I have found here in Australia. Even at my worst moment in 2015 at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, I was never confronted with a ward such as we see in the image above. The procedure I was in hospital for required an operation in the middle of the night, in a theatre which was "under construction"... it was being "renovated" while still being used for serious operations! I was aghast at the situation but had I had no choice, it was an emergency and I was happy to be looked after by people who cared about my wellbeing and did their best under the circumstances. The news we endure every day and night shows us that we are a most privileged society... it's far from perfect here, but you ...

Eyeless in Gaza, images from the net.

          Eyeless in Gaza...   Footnotes:   I wanted to leave these images up clear of any text. My friend Richard suggested we should acknowledge the sources so I've made a big effort to track them down out of respect for the incredible job they do, and especially for their courage, working in the dangerous zones where so many aid workers and journalists have lost their lives. But some are not credited on the pages of publications I drew them from. Here's a list I've just completed, numbered from the image No.1 at top of page down to the final one, No.9  1.
