There was a crash outside my apartment building today. Saw a guy being taken away on a stretcher. Lots of police officers, fire trucks, ambulances. Someone was putting powdered chemicals on the ground to prevent gasoline from igniting.
I'm left wondering, as I sometimes do: why do people use these horrid machines we call cars?

Last week, members of the EU-funded Libyan ‘coast guard’ shot at a humanitarian search and rescue ship for twenty minutes.
SOS Méditerranée says bullet impacts recorded across the ship show how the so-called Libyan coast guard (scLCG) systematically targeted:
• the crew
• the ship’s control centre
• survivors from a previous rescue
• and critical rescue equipment.
And this was not an isolated incident.

Dear fediverse,
I just had a video call over Signal with @joynewacc from Gaza.
Farah, or Joy, as she prefers to be called, is a 22-year-old Palestinian author and poet studying English Literature at the Islamic University of Gaza, which has been bombed by Israel.
She lives with her mother and four siblings in a shelter, trying to survive the genocide being committed by Israel.
Please help her and her family afford food during the famine that Gaza is experiencing. Please donate if you can and/or share this so that it might reach others who might be able to:

Joy used to have an account on BlueSky but they closed it. Please give her a warm welcome to the fediverse and let her know she is welcome here.

Genozidforscher William Shabas macht klar - Südafrika's Klage gegen Israel wegen Genozid - ist wohl der deutlichste, stärkste Fall, der jemals vor den Internationalen Gerichtshof gebracht hat.
Er ist der Meinung dass Staaten wie die USA, Deutschland, Kanada und andere juristisch zu Verantwortung gezogen werden können - als Komplizen beim Völkermord. (Artikel 3)

William Shabas war zwischen 2009 und 2011 Präsident der International Association of Genocide Scholars, deren Mitglieder (86%) gerade eine Resolution verabschiedet haben, die klar deutlich macht, dass das was Israel in Gaza macht nach der juristischen UN-Definiton für Genozide eindeutig ein Genozid ist.

»1)These are the worlds top genocide scholars. No one understands what genocide is better than they do.
2)They waited almost 2y to make this announcement. No one can say they jumped the gun or were chomping at the bit to accuse Israel. They clearly took the time to make a considered evaluation.
It’s a genocide.

What gives the game away is that none of the people who blame Hamas for the civilian suffering give even the slightest sincere indication of lying awake at night crying for the children of Gaza. Even though that combination of sentiments would be perfectly possible in principle.
No, blaming Hamas invariably goes hand in hand with dehumanising Palestinians and ⋅making a point⋅ of not giving a fuck about Gaza's children. You know, the whole "...but we cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill theirs" would be way more convincing if it actually seemed to trouble you.
#Gaza
It should also trouble them to know that Netanyahu helped facilitate the transfer of funds to Hamas. It's not even a secret or rumor, he's said so himself.
If everyone who excused the murder of children because of Hamas was actually consistent about that, Netanyahu would have already been tried and executed a long time ago.
The only conclusion you can draw from that is they think it should be a death sentence to exist in the same city block of anyone who is even suspected of being in Hamas, but it's perfectly okay to help funnel millions and millions of dollars to them.
