Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

A portrait of a Palestinian boy who lost both arms as a result of an Israeli attack in Gaza has been chosen as World Press Photo of the year.

This absolutely sickening

We like to talk about the stories and share the images of this horrible genocide

But no one wants to do anything about it
