She posted a Human Rights Watch report.
That was her “crime.”
Antoinette Lattouf, a journalist of integrity and conviction, dared to share a verified report stating the obvious: Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.
Three days into her ABC contract, she was fired.
No formal warning.
No hearing.
No due process.
Just lobbyists, emails, and panic at the highest levels of Australia’s national broadcaster.
Her fault?
She uttered a truth that powerful people weren’t ready to hear—and others weren’t allowed to say.
🩸 Gaza: Where Humanity is Starved Alongside Its Children
This isn’t a war.
It’s a monthslong slaughter camouflaged in policy briefs and diplomatic statements.
Over 60,000 Palestinians killed.
Thousands of children buried beneath cement, starved in real time, or picked off while queuing for food.
Doctors without medicine.
Mothers without bread.
Babies without milk.
Yet speak out—and you're labeled.
Not as a human being.
Not as a journalist.
Not as a witness.
But as anti-Semitic.
As dangerous.
As unfit.
🛑 When Genocide Is Livestreamed — and Still Denied
This is not 1945.
This is 2025.
A genocide is being livestreamed, in real-time, on every phone screen, every browser tab.
We’ve seen the videos:
- Children shot in the head while holding white flags.
- Women gunned down while collecting flour.
- UN shelters shelled as families huddled inside.
- Food convoys attacked.
- Bodies of aid workers buried with their ambulances.
It is not sporadic. It is routine.
It is not collateral. It is policy.
It is not chaos. It is pattern.
And yet, we are told that to call it what it is—a genocide—is offensive.
To say the word “starvation” is “incendiary.”
To mourn the murdered is “bias.”
To cry out for Gaza is “hate speech.”
🧠The Inversion of Morality
How did we get here?
Where “Never Again” becomes “Not Now.”
Where moral clarity is rebranded as extremism.
Where journalists, professors, students, doctors—even UN officials—are smeared, suspended, fired, or blacklisted for doing what conscience demands.
When did genocide become just “a conflict”?
When did hunger become “a security measure”?
When did resistance become “terror,” but bombing hospitals become “self-defense”?
🎯 Silence Is the Goal
Let’s be clear:
The antisemitism smears are not about protecting Jewish communities—who themselves are protesting this genocide in large numbers.
They are about protecting impunity.
The goal is silence.
Silence from journalists like Antoinette.
Silence from aid workers.
Silence from artists, scholars, clergy, students, and anyone who dares say:
“A starving child is not a security threat.”
“Deliberate mass killing is not self-defense.”
“No state has the right to ethnically cleanse another people.”
⚖️ But the Silence Is Cracking
The federal court’s ruling in favor of Antoinette Lattouf is more than a personal vindication.
It is a moment of reckoning.
It tells us:
Yes, you can call out genocide.
Yes, you can speak truth to power.
Yes, you have rights—even when your truths are uncomfortable.
✊🏽 Gaza Is Not a Taboo
Gaza is not “too complex.”
It is not a forbidden subject.
It is a place where children dream of bread, not books.
Where medics operate by flashlight, and mothers bury their sons with their bare hands.
Where starvation is not a consequence, but a strategy.
And if we can’t call that genocide—then what does the word even mean?
đź’¬ Speak. Post. Protest. Repeat.
The world didn’t change because of cowardice.
It changed because someone, somewhere, spoke the truth when it was dangerous.
So keep posting.
Keep marching.
Keep refusing to be silenced.
Let them call you names.
Let them fire you.
Let them blacklist you.
Because in the end, history will remember not who kept their jobs, but who kept their soul.
