The media is quick to bury their demands, management at the University of Sydney wants control of the narrative again, and students just want to graduate without blood on their hands. But we cannot forget what this is all for: an end to the genocide in Gaza, and a free Palestine.
After weeks of speculation and an open letter from American politicians warning against such, the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan has announced that the ICC is seeking arrest warrants for two Israeli leaders and three Hamas leaders:
