1/EU governments should firmly condemn Israel's illegal maritime kidnapping of the Madleen crew and demand their citizens are freed immediately.
This morning, the Israeli military boarded and seized the Madleen—a civilian vessel delivering a symbolic amount of aid to Gaza—and kidnapped its crew.
Many of those on board are citizens of EU member states. Those governments—along with all others—should unequivocally condemn Israel's illegal actions and demand the immediate release of their citizens

Sent a support ticket to a #service that I #subscribe to expressing my disappointment that I couldn't seem to do very basic things with their product/ service.
First off, if you have a product or a service and you only provide a "video" to teach your customers how to use your product, well... fuck you.
Videos don't work for everyone. Some of your customers might be deaf, or visually impaired.
Second, if you need a fucking #TRAININGVIDEO to teach your customers how to use your product or service you have flat out FAILED in every conceivable way.
Your product or service should be intuitive enough that your customers don't need a training video to learn how to use your product.
ICE should take whatever sparklers are made out of and cover the sides of their cars with it. Then, when they get surrounded by rioters, they light it up. Totally non-lethal but it would burn the fuck out of everyone around the car.

I think it is likely that he could be arrested for instigating these riots. I am seeing information coming out about NGOs sponsoring these riots and I bet there is a connection to Newsome in there somewhere! Time will tell.
Just because they were prevented from delivering the aid and were kidnapped, doesn't mean they didn't do huge good.
A huge number of people noticed, and saw the injustice in Palestine, and some even looked past the official propaganda to learn about the real history.
Even the mockery from the "right wing media" eg Sky Australia, caused people to look deeper.
They were never going to be able to deliver much aid anyway. It was always about much needed publicity. And it isn’t surprising that people like Thunberg get involved. Morals and social justice are central to both climate change and Gaza.

That was the original statement… then she mumbled something inarticulate about OECD but even that isn’t true:Canada does not have the lowest living standard amongst OECD nations.
They are full of shit, spew shit, and for some reason people gleefully swallow their shit.
“for some reason” … that’s misleadingly vague… we know the reason:
There is a group of Canadians who feel they are losing privilege, and they are willing to throw the environment, the future, and their neighbours under the bus to maintain it. But fighting to maintain privilege to a little too baldly like bigotry, so a manufactured crisis narrative gives cover to recast their self-centredness as ‘clear-eyed pragmatism’.

Wir ahnten es und es dauerte leider gar nicht lange... Hier ist es also: Das neueste rechtspopulistische Vorhaben von Vorratsdaten-#Faeser und ihrer Ampel-Regierung aus #SPD, #Grünen und #FDP.
Nun wollen sie also der #Bundespolizei die „präventive“ #Überwachung von Handys und die Ermittlung von Standorten ermöglichen sowie Drohneneinsätze an Bahnhöfen, Grenzen und Flughäfen beschließen. Und natürlich noch mehr #Kameraüberwachung. Wie es sich für jeden ordentlichen Überwachungs- und #Polizeistaat nun mal gehört.
Der GdP geht das ganze – wie immer – nicht weit genug. Die will auch noch Onlinedurchsuchungen und Verschlüsselungsverbote. Vermutlich haben die einfach noch nichts von der EU-Chatkontrolle mitbekommen...
Das ganze erinnert uns an das „Loi sécurité globale“ in Frankreich. Dort gab es allerdings heftige Proteste dagegen. Bei den letzten Polizeibefugniserweiterungen/PAGs in Deutschland rafftem sich hingegen kaum mehr Linke auf und dann staunten alle mit großen Augen über die #Präventivhaft für #Klimaaktivist*innen #defundthepolice
Vorratsdaten-#Faeser und ihre Ampel-Regierung aus #SPD, #Grünen und #FDP setzen ihr rechtspopulistisches Vorhaben in Richtung #Polizeistaat um.
Der #Bundespolizei wird somit die „präventive“ #Überwachung von Handys und die Ermittlung von Standorten ermöglicht, Drohneneinsätze werden aufgestockt und natürlich (zur Sicherheit aller Menschen ganz klar) immer mehr #Kameraüberwachung. Der „Gewahrsam“ wird auf maximal vier Tage verlängert. Wie es sich für jeden ordentlichen Überwachungs- und #Polizeistaat nun mal gehört. Tod der Privatsphäre, auf in den autoritären #Staat. Wir haben doch nix zu verbergen. Oh oh.
"[...] Beim Abhören der Telekommunikation im Zusammenhang mit der Sicherheit der Grenzen oder des Luft- und Bahnverkehrs soll die Befugnis der Bundespolizei allerdings um den Bereich der „präventiven“ Überwachung erweitert werden. „Präventiv“ bedeutet hier, dass noch kein konkreter begründeter Tatverdacht gegen eine Person vorliegt und damit die Strafprozessordnung zur Überwachung nicht herangezogen werden kann, aber dennoch das Abhören von Gesprächsinhalten von Zielpersonen bereits möglich ist."
Die Bundespolizei soll künftig vermehrt Drohnen einsetzen und auch präventiv Telekommunikation überwachen dürfen. Ein „Gewahrsam“ droht für maximal vier Tage. Das geht aus dem Entwurf für das neue Bundespolizeigesetz hervor.
"Die #Bundesregierung begründet die #Reform unter anderem mit „aktuellen Gefährdungslagen“, ohne näher darauf einzugehen, welche das sein sollen. Dafür soll die Bundespolizei jetzt mehr Befugnisse erhalten, insbesondere im Bereich der Telekommunikationsüberwachung. Weitere Befugnisse gibt es beim Betreiben eigener Drohnen und bei der Drohnenabwehr, bei der Speicherung von DNA-Identifizierungsmustern sowie zum Erlass von Meldeauflagen und Aufenthaltsverboten.
Die erweiterten Überwachungsbefugnisse beinhalten unter anderem die Überwachung von Telekommunikation sowie die Erhebung von Verkehrs- und Nutzungsdaten. Zusätzlich soll die Bundespolizei Mobilfunkkarten und Telefone identifizieren und lokalisieren dürfen.
Außerdem sollen Polizist:innen nach eigenem Ermessen und lediglich zum eigenen Schutz entscheiden, ob sie Bodycams einschalten oder nicht. In #Deutschland liegt die Kontrolle über die Kamera und das erhobene Material bei der #Polizei. Wie wir bereits berichtet haben, führt das zu einem weiteren Anstieg des Machtgefälles zwischen Polizei und Bürger:innen.
Die Ampelregierung gibt grünes Licht für die umstrittene Reform des Bundespolizeigesetzes. Beamt:innen sollen mehr Befugnisse für Kontrollen und Überwachungsmaßnahmen bekommen.
Aufgrund „gestiegener Bedrohung der Polizei“, will Innenminister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) diese jetzt flächendeckend mit Tasern ausstatten. Doch wie „sicher“ sind Taser wirklich?

Der Bericht "I Still Can't Sleep at Night – The Global Abuse of Electric Shock Equipment" dokumentiert, wie Strafverfolgungsbehörden weltweit Elektroschocker und elektrische Schlagstöcke einsetzen und damit schwere Menschenrechtsverletzungen begehen.

Der Bericht dokumentiert Fälle von Folter und anderen Misshandlungen mit Elektroschockgeräten. So kommen die Waffen auf Demonstrationen zum Einsatz sowie bei der Grenzsicherung, in Auffanglagern für Migrant*innen und Geflüchtete, in psychiatrischen Kliniken, im polizeilichen Streifendienst, auf Polizeistationen und in Gefängnissen.
Elektroschockgeräte für den Direktkontakt, die auf Knopfdruck schmerzhafte Stromschläge abgeben, werden weltweit gegen Demonstrant*innen, Student*innen, politische Gegner*innen und Menschenrechtsverteidiger*innen eingesetzt.

#GazaGenocide / Special report: Ethnic cleansing through healthcare denial
This investigative report documents systematic war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israel against Palestinian healthcare workers and patients during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The report documents how #Israel weaponized healthcare as part of its broader genocidal campaign, using medical institutions as instruments of ethnic cleansing while Israeli medical professionals actively participated in or remained silent about these crimes against humanity.
Mass Detention and Torture of Medical Personnel
At least 380 healthcare workers from #Gaza have been arrested by Israeli forces since October 2023, with 24 forcibly disappeared. The report documents extensive torture in Israeli detention facilities:
- Dr. H., an orthopedic surgeon, was beaten, sexually assaulted, and tortured for 69 days at Sde Teiman detention camp
- Medical staff were subjected to “disco rooms” with non-stop deafening music, dog attacks, and systematic beatings
- Prisoners were kept shackled and blindfolded constantly, fed through straws, and forced to use diapers
Deaths in Custody
At least 90 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 2023, including prominent doctors:
- Dr. Adnan al-Borsh - Dr. Iyad al-Rantisi - Dr. Ziad al-Dalo - Paramedic Hamdan Abu-Anaba
For comparison, only 9 prisoners died at #Guantanamo Bay over 20+ years.
Medical Complicity in War Crimes
Israeli healthcare institutions systematically violated medical ethics:
- Hospitals refused treatment to Palestinian patients on government orders
- Medical staff participated in torture and abuse of Palestinian detainees
- Israeli doctors called for bombing Gaza hospitals and exterminating all Palestinians
[…] “In early November 2023, close to a report by the World Health Organization that the Israeli army had killed at least 9,770 Palestinians by that point - including about 4,000 children - and wounded another 25,000, dozens of Israeli doctors published an open letter calling for bombing hospitals in Gaza.”
[…] The doctors wrote: “Gaza residents who chose to turn hospitals into terror nests in an attempt to exploit Western morality, they are the ones who brought destruction upon themselves.”They added that “abandoning Israeli civilians and protecting mass murderers just because they are hiding in hospitals - is inconceivable.
- The Israeli Medical Association justified attacks on Palestinian hospitals
[…] Dr. Chana Katan (see #Wikipedia entry, hopefully some could take the time to update en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chana_…), an Israeli-American gynecologist and one of the signatories to the letter, said: “I will do everything in my power to support and protect IDF soldiers, and ensure they return home safely. The IDF has the duty to attack terrorists hiding inside hospitals in Gaza.” UN representatives and human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, have repeatedly emphasized that Israel has not provided sufficient evidence for claims about the use of hospitals by armed groups. Analysis of visual findings revealed that the claims of the IDF spokesperson are not credible.
[…] Dr. Amos Szabo, a senior surgeon at Maccabi Health Services, wrote on social media X that he sees his reserve military service as a means to promote public health, “since this involves eliminating cockroaches and other disgusting insects.” A few months earlier he also wrote: “Gaza must be erased. There are no innocents there.”
Destruction of Gaza’s Healthcare System
Israel has systematically destroyed Gaza’s medical infrastructure:
- Over 1,400 healthcare workers killed
- Hospitals bombed and besieged
- Medical facilities deliberately targeted despite no evidence of military use
- 15 paramedics executed by Israeli forces in coordinated ambush
Dr. H.’s testimony from detention (one testimony out of many quoted):
During the March 2024 raid on Nasser Hospital, Dr. H., an orthopedic surgeon, was beaten by soldiers who “kicked him in the stomach, groin and testicles, ordered him to undress, handcuffed him, blindfolded him and led him to the hospital courtyard.” He was then taken to the notorious Sde Teiman military camp.
Dr. H. testified that during his 69 days at Sde Teiman, guards put him in a “disco room” - a room without mattresses where deafening music played non-stop. He was then taken to an interrogation room where, according to his testimony, “they tortured me for six days, with my hands and feet tied behind my back to a chair. They beat me in the stomach and slapped me while my eyes were covered.”
After 43 days, Dr. H. was transferred to a detention facility in Petah Tikva for continued interrogation. There he was examined by a doctor who confirmed he had developed hernias in the groin and abdomen area. “Despite him saying I needed surgery and shouldn’t be interrogated,” Dr. H. recounted, “I was returned to Sde Teiman without any medical treatment. When I returned to the detention facility, the soldiers beat me, slammed my head on the floor, pushed me into the sand, and kicked and punched me.”

in reply to Statewatch • • •2/ The muted response so far, such as France’s feeble call for its nationals to “be allowed to return to France as soon as possible,” is unacceptable.
But the EU and its member states have a long history of enabling illegality at sea and criminalising humanitarian action.
