Israel's defence minister says Madleen passengers will be shown video of 7 October attacks
Katz said he wanted them to “see exactly who the Hamas terrorist organization they came to support and for whom they work is, what atrocities they committed against women, the elderly, and children, and against whom Israel is fighting to defend itself.” 🤬
Just to make completely clear: Israel has no legal right whatsoever to be doing this. As Francesca Albanese says:
While #Madleen must be released immediately, every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.
#BreakingTheSiege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.
Unter den von der israelischen Armee festgenommenen Aktivist:innen befindet sich auch die deutsche Staatsbürgerin Yasemin Acar. Wir müssen jetzt Druck aufbauen um für ihre Freilassung zu kämpfen!
Dies ist ein Kidnapping. Das israelische Militär hat kein Recht auf internationalen Gewässern Menschen festzunehmen und ist auch keine rechtliche Repräsentation für den Gazastreifen. Hier wird ein Land mal wieder mit etwas durchkommen was höchstgradig illegal ist!

An:poststelle@auswaertiges-amt.de Betreff: Dringende Bitte sich für die Freilassung der Aktivist*innen auf der Madleen einzusetzen
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren und alle dazwischen und außerhalb,
mit großer Sorge verfolge ich die aktuelle Mission des zivilen Hilfsschiffs Madleen, das am 1. Juni 2025 vom Hafen in Catania (Sizilien) in Richtung Gaza aufgebrochen ist. Die Mission der Freedom Flotilla Coalition verfolgt ausschließlich humanitäre Ziele.
An Bord befinden sich Hilfsgüter wie Babynahrung, medizinische Ausrüstung, Hygieneartikel sowie Prothesen für verletzte Kinder.
Unter den Teilnehmerinnen befinden sich unter anderem die Klimaaktivistin Greta Thunberg, die französische Europaabgeordnete Rima Hassan und die deutsche Menschenrechtsaktivistin sowie Staatsbürgerin Yasemin Acar, die sich seit Jahren für Geflüchtete und humanitäre Belange engagiert. Der israelische Verteidigungsminister Katz hatte bereits gewarnt, die Reise der Madleen mit allen Mitteln zu verhindern. Nun ist genau das passiert.
Angesichts der unrechtmäßigen Festnahme der Aktivist*innen in internationalen Gewässern, bitte ich Sie dringend, sich für den Schutz und die Freilassung von Yasemin Acar und den anderen Aktivist innen einzusetzen. Die deutsche Regierung hat eine Pflicht zum Schutz ihrer Staatsbürger*innen weltweit vor Repression und unrechtmäßiger Festnahme.
Bitte helfen Sie mit, weiteres menschliches Leid zu verhindern. Die Menschen auf der Madleen handelten gewaltfrei und mit rein humanitären Absichten. Sie verdienen Schutz, auch seitens der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Unterschreibt die Petitionen an das Auswärtige Amt mit der Forderung sich dafür einzusetzen Greta Thunberg, Yasemin Acar und alle anderen Aktivist*innen der Freedom Flotilla zu befreien!
Nein! Diese unerträgliche Selbstinszenierung ist auf Publicity aus und dient ganz sicher nicht den Menschen in Gaza. Das kann und will ich nicht unterstützen. juedische-allgemeine.de/meinun…
Wird es den zwölf Aktivisten, unter ihnen die Klima- und Palästina-Ikone Greta Thunberg, gelingen, Israels Seeblockade zu durchbrechen? Die Welt wartet gespannt
Die Behauptung Greta Thunberg würde humanitäre Hilfe nur als Selbstinszenierung nach Gaza bringen ist eine extrem lächerliche Aussage.
Die israelische Regierung darf keine Menschen in internationalen Gewässern festnehmen. Die IDF hat keine Jurisdiktion über den Gazastreifen. Alles was hier geschieht ist höchstgradig verstoßend gegen das Völkerrecht und Aktivist:innen wie Greta Thunberg stellen sich in die erste Reihe um auf diese Missstände aufmerksam zu machen. Denn ALLE humanitären Hilfslieferungen werden blockiert, auch ihre. Anhand dieser Aktion sieht die gesamte Welt wie Israel sich gegen Menschenrechte zur wehr setzt um ihren Genozid durchzuführen.
Genau wie du es schreibst sagt es das israelische Außenministerium auch, aber „Selfie Yacht” ist ggf. nicht der beste Begriff den sie hätten wählen sollen, wenn man bedenkt wie viele ihrer eigenen Soldaten von Kriegsverbrechen überführt wurden Anhand von Selfies und Selbstinszenierung...
Man sieht jetzt, was passiert, wenn man sich vorher mit antisemitischen Aussagen selbst disqualifiziert. Die israelische Regierung verletzt davon unabhängig täglich Völkerrecht. Daran kann aber Greta nix ändern sondern ausschließlich Trump.

00:00 Intro 00:56 Sponsor: Proton Mail 02:32 Software and updates 04:04 Services and SSH 06:38 User management 10:10 Physical Security 11:35 SELinux, AppArmor, and firewall 14:04 Parting Thoughts 15:15 Sponsor: Get a PC made to run Linux 16:30 Support the channel
The more software you use, the larger the attack surface for your Linux install is. It's always good to take a look at all the installed applications, and libraries, and remove what you don't use anymore. You can also remove packages that aren't linked to anything else and aren't used by anything.
On Debian or Ubuntu, for example, you can find these by running sudo apt autoremove
And on a desktop, you probably already apply updates, or your distro has auto updates enabled. But on a server, it's easy to let things slide, and forget to log in regularly and make sure things are up to date. I'm guilty of that myself.
And just like with packages, libraries, and apps, you should also make sure you only run the services you actually use. You can list all services running with:
systemctl list-unit-files
To stop a service you don't need, you can run
systemctl stop SERVICE
To stop the service from starting with the system, you can run
systemctl disable SERVICE
If you're on a server, the general rule of thumb is also NOT to run a graphical desktop on it. It will often be much more secure to use SSH to log in to the server remotely.
But you might also need to secure SSH first. If you have multiple users, make sure only the ones who need it have SSH access. To do that, you can edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and type AllowUsers then the names of the users that will actually have access to SSH.
Now, something that might be useful in general, for a server or a desktop, is making sure all the users are correctly handled. The first thing will be to disable root login.
If you decide to disable the root account, make sure at least one user has admin privileges though, or you'll have a system without any way to access any task with sudo. Once you're certain everything is ok, you can use the following method:
Edit /etc/passwd, and change the first line, by replacing /bin/bash, or whatever other shell root currently logs into, by /sbin/nologin (or /usr/sbin/nologin depending on the distro)
If you prefer, you can simply disable root login through SSH, so the account is still there if you want it locally, but remote attackers won't be able to login as root. To do so, you can edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and uncomment the PermitRootLogin line, and then set its value to no. Restart SSH with sytemctl restart sshd, and you're done.
To remove the ability to use USB, Thunderbolt or Firewire, you can add the following lines to their respective files (create them if need be). To revert this, just remove the lines that have been added in the various files by the commands.
Add: install usb-storage /bin/true to /etc/modprobe.d/disable-usb-storage.conf Add blacklist firewire-core to /etc/modprobe.d/firewire.conf Add blacklist thunderbolt to /etc/modprobe.d/thunderbolt.conf
“Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard the Madleen [...] This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ’s binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade—their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately.”
I don’t know, asshole, was 1947 worth it? Was close to 80 years of settler colonialism and apartheid worth it? Is the current genocide of the Palestinian people being committed by israel worth it? ravenation.club/@welkin7/11465…
Israel had already declared what it was going to do. This was bound to occur. About baby formula, food and medical supplies, the Palestine authority should step up and handle it.
Gaza strip had zero Israel troops prior to 7-Oct-2023. It had hospitals, schools and electricity. Now significant portion of Gaza is rubble and it is crawling with Israeli troops.
The loosers are people on both sides. How many classes have children of Gaza missed? Was Oct 7 worth it?
"Gaza strip had zero Israel troops before October 7" - except the ones in the fucking massive watchtowers with high-powered assault rifles and the garrisons at every exit point, of course.

Eine Woche vor der 1. offiziellen Militärjubelfeier- dem Veteranentag - mit der Bundeswehr vor dem Reichstagsgebäude müssen wir noch einmal auf die in unsere Köpfe geprügelte "Wende" in unseren Köpfen aufmerksam machen. Plötzlich wird wieder offen über Kriegstüchtigkeit gesprochen und oft sogar schon ein Datum für den nächsten Krieg genannt.
Angeblich will Russland ab 2029 die NATO angreifen und deshalb müssen wir unseren in den letzten 3jahren bereits verdoppelten Kriegshaushalt noch einmal mehr als verdoppeln (von 2 auf 5% des BIP). Dem Wahnsinn scheinen keine Grenzen gesetzt, denn so eine Erhöhung ist ohne weitere Einschnitte in Soziales, Bildung, Rente unmöglich.
Um diese wahnsinnigen Ziele durchzusetzen soll die Wehrpflicht - und die innere Bereitschaft bei der Jugend - erhöht werden, wie der 1. verlinkte Artikel zeigt. Lesenswert!
Im 2. verlinkten Artikel wird dann deutlich, was die Rolle Deutschlands als Kriegsschauplatz dabei sein soll. Mit Polen an der "zukünftigen Ostfront" gelegen, müssen die Brücken, Straßen und Eisenbahnlinien für den Durchmarsch der NATO Partner im Westen "resilient" sein.
Nebenbei wird dabei auch an die "Probleme" für Krankenhäuser, THW und Feuerwehr gedacht, die mit den hohen Opferzahlen überfordert sein werden. Seit der proklamierten "Zeitenwende" werden Vorschläge unter dem Label "Zivil-Militärische Zusammenarbeit" in die Debatte geworfen, die allesamt grausig sind. Auch der Bunkerbau soll wieder gefördert werden. Dabei werden die Bunker bei der nächsten Ahrtal-Katastrophe genauso absaufen wie die Häuser ...
Abgesehen von den Milliarden-Kosten für diese angebliche Resilienz, die auch in den beschlossenen "Sondervermögen" (Jahrzehnte andauernde Schulden) nicht vorhanden sind, wird es langsam Zeit die Debatte für Alternativen zur Kriegstüchtigkeit zu öffnen. Wenn dies nicht bald geschieht, machen wir selbst Deutschland wirtschaftlich, sozial und bildungsmäßig zu einer Ruine ...
Deutschland soll zur logistischen Basis der Nato werden. Ein neues Konzept plant die Umrüstung der zivilen Infrastruktur für den Kriegsfall. Was bedeutet das für die Bevölkerung?
Freedom Flotilla organiser Huwaida Arraf shortly after she and the rest of the ship’s support crew lost contact with the Madleen:
“All those on board have been abducted. They have been taken against their will while they were sailing peacefully and lawfully in international waters…
They were in international waters, sailing towards Palestinian territorial waters, not getting near Israeli waters…
It needs to be made very clear that Israel has absolutely no jurisdiction, no lawful authority, to take over this vessel.”

00:00 Intro 00:29 Sponsor: Make your email private with Proton Mail 01:47 What is Iodé OS? 03:08 First Setup 04:06 ROM and App selection 07:55 Ad & Tracker Blocker 09:21 App Experience 11:20 How it compares to other DeGoogled ROMS 12:48 It's good, but it still needs work 14:41 Sponsor: Get a computer that runs Linux perfectly 15:30 Support the channel
Iodé is Android, but with all Google software removed. It uses Lineage OS as a base, but adds a built-in ad and tracker blocker that runs at all times, locally on the device.
The ROM itself will be familiar if you ever used a Pixel. On the Pixel 5, Iodé OS 4 was preinstalled, and it's based on Android 13. The latest security update was on January 5th 2023. The Iodé team told me they provide security updates every 2 months, and every month for beta users.
The default experience is as close to stock as can be: you have either the 3 button layout of Android, or the gestures, a dock of apps at the bottom, an app drawer by swiping up, and a few preset widgets.
In terms of apps, Iodé ships with a Firefox fork by default, which disables telemetry, trackers and enables alternative search engines right out of the box. The default email client is Pretty Easy privacy, or pEp. It's a simple email client with an easy interface, that adds end to end encryption capabilities to any mail account.
For Maps, you get Magic Earth, which is also open source, and uses OpenStreet Map. The keyboard is OpenBoard, the camera app is OpenCamera, which, while very powerful, has a terrible user interface and looks pretty bad.
Iodé comes with a tracker blocker built in. This thing works using a man in the middle attack style: the OS intercepts all communications and requests that go out of your phone, and blocks everything that's part of the blocklists. These blocklists are collaboratively sourced, and include a LOT of adblock and tracker blocker related things. This system is based on Energized Protection, which is an open source project licensed under the MIT license.
To complement this, there's a preinstalled app that lets you check out how many requests you've blocked to how many recipients.
Iodé OS relies on 2 app stores: you get F Droid for all your open source app needs, and you get the Aurora Store. Installing apps works very well, I encountered 0 problems here.
Where you'll have issues is running apps that depend on Google services. I tried installing the Youtube app, and it never opened. Other Google apps got me the same experience, like the youtube studio app. Stuff like Google Maps or Google Photos worked, but were unable to use the already added Google account in micro G.
After reaching out to the Iodé team, they told me they have identified the issue, which is fixed in the beta, and will be patched in the next OTA release.
Interestingly, stuff like my banking app worked immediately on Iodé, letting me use the phone as my secure device to authenticate purchases online, something that is usually blocked because the device doesn't pass SafetyNet checks. Here, it all worked perfectly for me.
Compared to Lineage OS, it adds all these tracker and ad blocking capabilities. You could probably replicate that yourself on Lineage, but at least here, it's setup right out of the box.
Compared to something like /e/, the latter has more advanced privacy features, with the ability to scramble your location at the press of a button, and more complete privacy controls.
But /e/ also deviates a lot from stock Android, with their own launcher, their own forks of open source apps, and generally an experience that won't appeal to everyone.

The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo—including baby formula, food and medical supplies—confiscated.”
@chuls There is too much media visibility even for Israel to do something like that. Capturing the boat, escorting it to their port, and eventually releasing the crew is hopefully the worst Israel can afford to do.
I'm pretty sure the Madleen crew fully expected this outcome, and it nicely shows how all other countries tacitly accept Israel's breaking international law, instead of doing what law should compel them to do - protect their citizens when crimes are being done against them.
Israel had already declared what it was going to do. This was bound to occur. About baby formula, food and medical supplies, the Palestine authority should step up and handle it.

Die israelische Armee hat mit einer Spezialeinheit die Madleen in internationalen Gewässern (illegal) geentert und das Schiff mitsamt der Besatzung entführt (illegal), um die illegale, seit 18 Jahren anhaltende, Blockade Gazas. Wohl um zu verhindern dass ein Präzedenzfall geschaffen wird. Die Armee hat Bilder von den Gefangenen veröffentlicht, machen sich über sie lustig. Das ist natürlich auch illegal.
@bifouba Darauf hat sich Alonoso Gurmendi auch bezogen und als nicht mehr anwendbar verworfen (wenn ich ihn richtig verstanden habe) Mittlerweile hat sich ja einiges im int. Recht weiterentwickelt. Und es mangelt ja bereits an einer schlüssigen legalen Begründung warum man das Schiff blockieren will.
Natürlich kann man sich irgendwelche abwegigen Dinge konstruieren, und die Fans des Staats Israel werden das sicher tun.
Das Schiff ist in UK registriert, damit ergibt sich eine Zuständigkeit des ICC.
Ich denke wenn es sich nicht um Greta Thunberg, die französische EU-Abgeordnete Rima Hassan und weitere Menschen aus mehreren Ländern dabei gewesen wären dann wäre das ganze wahrscheinlich schlimmer abgelaufen.
Für den Staat Israel ist es wirklich schlechte PR.
Gestern sind jede Menge Menschen in Gaza getötet wurden, während insbesondere deutsche Accounts, denen die Lage der Menschen in Gaza sonst halt einfach mal völlig egal ist, sich an ihren hämischen Kommentaren über Greta Thunberg und die anderen von der Madleen regelrecht aufgegeilt haben. Extrem peinlich. Aber das ist halt angenehmer als sich mit der Lage vor Ort zu befassen.

Worth remembering that the IDF killed nine people on the Freedom Flotilla in 2010, and injured thirty, so it's not as bad as it could have been. Maybe the high profile of Greta Thunberg helped.
But as they say, it's not about this boat or these activists. It's about the people, including the children and the little babies, starving to death in Gaza as Israel calculatedly denies them food, and locks up the measly trickle they are allowing in behind a ghoulish series of death traps. Good on the Flotilla activists for trying to shine a spotlight on that #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
