Thousands of Palestinians chanted against Hamas during anti-war protests last week in the Gaza Strip, the biggest show of anger at the militant group since its attack on Israel ignited the war.

Protesters said they were venting anger and desperation as they endure a new round of war and displacement after Israel ended a ceasefire. They leveled unusually direct criticism at Hamas even while remaining furious at Israel, the United States and others for their plight.

Public expressions of dissent have been extremely rare since Hamas seized power in Gaza in 2007. The militant group has violently dispersed occasional protests and jailed, tortured or killed those who challenged its rule. Hamas has faced no significant internal challenge since the start of the war and still controls Gaza, despite losing most of its top leaders and thousands of fighters.

Large sums of taxpayer money meant for some of the most vulnerable Australians have been flowing through companies linked to a man named Khawaja Moeen Haroon.

While his network has been under investigation for suspected fraud on the NDIS, some of those in his care have been left living in squalor.

This is how he built his network, and the human cost to those caught in its web.

 

In short:

Private security guards, paid by the NT government to patrol the streets, have been caught on camera kicking and stomping on an Aboriginal man.

One of the guards involved was the subject of a previous complaint, after he dragged an elderly First Nations woman along the ground.

What's next?

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner is calling for the federal government to do more to protect human rights in the NT.
