#Palestine / Norway: Israel's Gaza actions endanger global Human Rights Law

#Norway’s international development minister warns that #Israel is setting a dangerous precedent for international human rights law violations in #Gaza which he states is making the world more dangerous by potentially normalizing the use of food as a weapon and restricting humanitarian aid access.

Norway, which recognized the Palestinian state last year, condemns these clear violations and maintains open dialogue with all parties, including Hamas, for long-term peace.

The Norwegian oil fund has blacklisted companies assisting Israel's occupation, adhering to rules against investing in anything that contributes to a violation of international law.

THE LEFT CONTINUES TO PROP UP THEIR WEAKEST

( The Left & The Right's Dream Ticket! )

====Bullhorn Barry📢 (Opinion / News)

I can only say this -- I sure hope they get the Nominee. For if they do, it ensures another 4 Years of MAGA! This may be the Left's Dream Ticket, but it's also MAGA'S Dream Ticket for the Left! One thing you can almost count on at this phase -- the left will continue to practice everything that got them utterly defeated in 2024. Some people call that the definition of insanity! Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is clearly insanity! We can only hope that they're this clueless and prop up these two as their candidate.

the classic cronjob workaround works great.

The command /usr/bin/openrgb --profile /home/user/.config/OpenRGB/test.orp
runs fine, loads the test.orp Setting i saved with openrgb-GUI. Until the keyboard goes back to default after 4 min or so. It uses the profile

Therefore i made a cronjob that does the same, just every 3 minutes:

A Farewell to Zeus, The Owl with Galaxy Eyes 😥

From Wildlife Learning Center

It is with shattered hearts that we share the passing of Zeus, our beloved Western screech owl, who touched the hearts of people from literally around the world. Though blind, Zeus adapted remarkably well to his disability and had a calm, gentle presence that left a lasting impression on everyone who met him.

Zeus came to live at Wildlife Learning Center 15 years ago after being found on someone's doorstep. He was treated at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where it was determined that he was blind due to trauma-perhaps he had flown into a window. We will never know for certain what happened to Zeus; all we know is that he was found helpless, unable to navigate the world on his own, and would require human care for the remainder of his life.

His distinctive eyes, which appeared to hold a galaxy or stars, captivated everyone he met, from visitors at Wildlife Learning Center to his social media fame from around the world. His eyes told the story of a tiny owl with a vast spirit, sparking curiosity and awe. Zeus was more than an ambassador for wildlife; he inspired a connection with nature that reached far and wide.

Under our care, Zeus was monitored closely, including weekly weighing to track his health. Despite eating well, Zeus began to lose weight. Blood tests showed no abnormalities, so a CAT scan was performed, revealing a large, and sadly, inoperable kidney tumor. There was nothing that could be done to save his life, so we ensured he was comfortable until it was time to say goodbye.

Zeus will always be remembered for his unique way of connecting with people and for the fascination he brought to so many. His memory will live on in our hearts and in the countless lives he touched. We will continue to honor him by sharing his story and helping other animals like him.

The world feels a little less bright without our treasured Zeus.


I know we've talked about Zeus here before, he had been Internet famous for a long time, after all. I first brought him up in a discussion about Burrowing Owls with a similar looking, but different, condition.

He was also shared by @ickplant@lemmy.world about a month ago, and I was happy to learn he was still alive then. (Post link here)

But sadly, he is now no longer with us. I am glad he got to enjoy a long and loving life for an owl with a serious medical condition. I'm so glad he was found and cared for.

Rest in peace, little buddy. The world doesn't get too many famous owls, but you certainly were one! ❤️🦉✨

Chemical Shields, the EATS Act, and Washington's War on Organic Agriculture

At this very moment, across America, a new wave of legislation seeks to provide legal immunity to chemical companies—removing the right to recourse for harm their products have caused. This “shield” is not just for a niche set of chemicals, but for all pesticides and chemicals regulated under federal law.

Allemagne : fermeture de "Red. Media", pro-russe et pro-palestine - Par Loris Guémart | Arrêt sur images


#politique #propagande #UE #démocratie

L'UE devient de plus en plus autoritaire, épisode 35254.

Une sanction prise dans la droite ligne des sanctions décidées hors du cadre légal habituel contre les médias d'État russes RT et Sputnik lors de l'invasion de l'Ukraine en 2022. Plutôt qu'une décision de fermeture, le Conseil de l'Union européenne, qui réunit les gouvernements des États-membres, a décidé le 20 mai dernier, à travers sa dernière fournée de sanctions contre les soutiens de la Russie, d'y intégrer le fondateur et gestionnaire de Red. Media, Hüseyin Dogru, dont la société-mère AFA Medya opère en Turquie.

Pour quels motifs ? D'abord parce que sa société "a des liens financiers et organisationnels étroits avec des entités et acteurs de la propagande d'État russe et qui partage des liens structurels profonds, y compris des interactions entre des membres du personnel ainsi qu'une rotation de ceux-ci, avec des organisations de médias d'État russes". Des éléments déjà rendus publics par deux enquêtes de médias allemands, le Tagesspiegel et Taz, avaient notamment pointé que Hüseyin Dogru était chargé de liquider les actifs du média d'État russe destiné à un public jeune, de gauche et germanophone Redfish... et que Red. Media avait ensuite réutilisé en les renommant les comptes de Redfish sur les réseaux sociaux. Elles mettaient aussi en lumière l'emploi par Red. Media de journalistes exerçant auparavant pour d'autres médias d'État russes, y compris Hüseyin Dogru.

Mais ces sanctions ont aussi été prises parce que Red. Media aurait propagé "systématiquement de fausses informations sur des sujets politiquement controversés dans le but de créer des dissensions ethniques, politiques et religieuses au sein de son public cible, principalement allemand, y compris en diffusant des récits de groupes terroristes islamistes radicaux tels que le Hamas". Un seul exemple est donné : "Au cours de l'occupation violente d'une université allemande par des émeutiers anti-israéliens, le personnel de Red s'est coordonné avec ces occupants pour diffuser des images de leurs actes de vandalisme - qui comprenaient l'utilisation de symboles du Hamas - par les canaux en ligne de Red, leur fournissant ainsi une tribune médiatique exclusive." Cet argument est le seul mis en avant par Red. Media pour expliquer sa fermeture. Il se rapporte notamment à l'occupation d'une université berlinoise ayant engendré l'enquête du Tagesspiegel. Et à la diffusion d'une vidéo virale d'un enfant poursuivi par la police allemande lors d'une manifestation pro-palestinienne – pour l'arrêter selon Red. Media, pour le ramener à ses parents d'après la police allemande. C'est aussi celui qui interroge le plus, notamment au regard du fait que les médias allemands sont encore bien plus pro-israéliens que leurs homologues français.

Comment expliquer le silence total des médias allemands et des syndicats allemands de journalistes ? Peut-être parce qu'en sus de leur refus éditorial de porter le regard sur Gaza, ils gardent en tête la croisade de Red. Media contre le journaliste de la Taz Nicholas Potter. Il a en effet été attaqué notamment parce qu'en sus de son enquête pour le quotidien berlinois, il a aussi publié un article attaquant Red. Media ainsi que les médias de gauche MintPress News et The Grayzone dans le Jerusalem Post. Le titre, "Au sein des médias d'extrême gauche qui, soutenus par Moscou, Damas, et Téhéran, attaquent Israël" ne faisait pas dans la demi-mesure malgré des preuves moins éclatantes dans le corps du texte – MintPress News, par exemple, a fermement démenti tout lien financier avec les pays concernés, pour lequel Nicholas Potter n'apportait d'ailleurs pas de preuve.

Dans son article d'annonce de sa fermeture, Red. Media met de nouveau en cause Nicholas Potter, ainsi que la Taz, le Tagesspiegel, les syndicats de journalistes allemands... et Reporters sans frontières (RSF), qui avait évoqué le harcèlement en ligne subi par Potter dans son rapport annuel allemand – RSF n'a pas répondu aux sollicitations d'ASI. "Red.Media aurait pu défendre sa position sans lancer des attaques personnelles contre Potter", fait remarquer à ASI le secrétaire général de la Fédération européenne des journalistes (FEJ) Ricardo Gutiérrez.

"Red. Media va fermer, voici pourquoi"
"Red. Media va fermer, voici pourquoi"

Red. Media, 16 mai 2025

"Ceci étant dit, comme dans le cadre du dossier RT/Sputnik, la FEJ continue à regretter que les gouvernements européens, par l'intermédiaire de décisions du Conseil européen, s'octroient le pouvoir de censurer des médias, sans analyse sérieuse des reproches adressés à ces médias par un organe de régulation indépendant", poursuit néanmoins Ricardo Gutiérrez. Les sanctions décidées contre Hüseyin Dogru, avec des "accusations graves [...] ni démontrées ni étayées par des faits et des preuves", ont "pour conséquence directe la fermeture d'un média allemand, qui jouait un rôle d'intérêt public essentiel par sa couverture soutenue des manifestations pro-palestiniennes en Allemagne." Et le secrétaire général de la FEJ de conclure : "La FEJ condamne à nouveau cette décision intergouvernementale qui a toutes les apparences d'une décision arbitraire. Les médias qui ne respectent pas la déontologie et qui s'inscrivent dans une logique propagandiste ou déstabilisatrice peuvent certes faire l'objet de retraits de licence ou de sanctions, mais en Europe, sur base des standards légaux existants, c'est à des organes de régulation indépendants de prendre de telles mesures. Pas à des gouvernements."

Good to see that at least one journalist doesn't fall to the hype.

If the CEO of a soda company declared that soda-making technology is getting so good it’s going to ruin the global economy, you’d be forgiven for thinking that person is either lying or fully detached from reality.

Yet when tech CEOs do the same thing, people tend to perk up.

“It is for your own good!” says Romania’s hybrid regime


#politics #EU #democracy

EU is getting more authoritarian by the day. Kill the beast !

In January 2025, The Economist delivered a devastating verdict: Romania had become the European Union's first "hybrid regime", downgraded from its previous "flawed democracy" status in the British newspaper’s yearly Democracy Index. The trigger was Romania's Constitutional Court annulling the first round of presidential elections based on what The Economist described as "murky intelligence reports" with evidence that was "at best, questionable".

AI isn’t an existential threat to humanity, capitalism and corporations are.

You see, we created capitalism, a religion modeled on cancer, and the corporation, a new, artificial species; a parasite that co-opts human beings to do its bidding; an organism that’s psychopathic by design and grows by extracting from and exploiting us and our habitat.

And we now find ourselves ruled by this religion and driven to ruin by these parasites as they drain our humanity, destroy our habitat, and condemn our future.

Your enemy is capitalism.

Your enemy is the corporation.

This is an existential battle against a cancerous ideology and an invasive species for the survival of our own.

I wanted to buy the last issue as Memorabilia, but their site is quite confusing.

When you try to buy it, the May 2025 issue on MagazinesDirect (where they point you to) shows the issue from two months earlier, (Make Linux Mobile) as the May 2025 issue, which I find confusing. If I buy, which one would I get?

Would I get "25 Years of Linux" or "Make Linux Mobile"?

My guess is that the paper editions get published late with a delay.

Edit: The June edition (published 29th April) has now appeared, so I guess that around the end of June, or beginning of July, the last issue will appear.

Beschreibungen darüber was die israelische Armee in #Gaza eigentlich macht, abgesehen von dem Bombardieren von Zivilisten - vor allem einfach alles zu zerstören was an Häusern noch übrig ist, damit ja nie jemand mehr zurückkommen kann. Viel davon mit Bulldozern, zum beträchtlichen Teil gesteuert durch Zivilisten, Extremisten aus Siedlerbewegung

»Pressed by Trump on Gaza and Iran, #Netanyahu Looks for Scapegoats in #Israel«
haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-0… (Paywall)

archive.today/aWInP

The army says it has deployed five divisions to Gaza, but in practice only three are engaged in offensive operations. They have yet to finish organizing and arranging troops and the scale of reservists taking part in the operation remains low. (The Knesset this week officially approved the lawful issuing of hundreds of thousands more emergency call-up orders if needed.) At the height of the hostilities, in November 2023, more than twice as many brigade combat teams fought in Gaza. Officers serving in the Strip told Haaretz that forces are currently focused on engineering, and is being described as creating a defensive space: the systematic destruction of houses and infrastructure, with the underlying professional rationale being to protect the soldiers. In reality, it's difficult not to suspect that a different motivation is at work here. This is a campaign of destruction and revenge, aimed largely at exacting a price from Gaza's population. And at least some of those involved are making no secret of their objective: to completely prevent the return of the inhabitants to their homes and to prepare the ground for a massive population expulsion from Gaza.
The Trump administration's lifted restrictions on the export of bulldozers to Israel appear to have solved the troops' shortage of engineering machinery for use in Gaza. Each division has a team of three bulldozers of different types, which leads the activity and aims to cause maximum destruction. Many of the machines' operators are civilians, who receive a high salary for each day of work, as has already been reported. Among them are also right-wing extremist activists from Samaria. There are almost no habitable homes left in the areas in which the IDF is operating. About two months ago, Zamir fired Southern Command's planning team head, Brig. Gen. (res.) Erez Winner, after he lost classified documents. But Winner's spirit continues hovering above the team he left behind. Its dominant conceptual approach is that of Finance Minister Smotrich and his ilk, right under the nose of the chief of staff. Over the course of the war, various right-wing organizations have acquired considerable influence over IDF perspectives by placing practical plans and ideas in front of the political decision-makers and the General Staff.
In the last months of 2024, before the Trump-imposed cease-fire in January of this year, the army operated largely to implement the "reserve generals' plan," which sought to empty the northern Strip of its inhabitants and stop the entry of humanitarian aid. This plan moved forward despite public opposition to the ideas that were voiced by the defense minister at the time, Yoav Gallant, and by former chief of staff Herzl Halevi. High-ranking officers in the reserves were involved in these developments, along with right-wing organizations including Israel's Defense and Security Forum (Habit'honistim), the Forum of Commanders and Fighters in the Reserves and the Kohelet Policy Forum. When things didn't progress as they wished, the right attacked the usual suspects – the Military Advocate General's unit and the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories – but the real reason for the slowdown was that Trump reined in Netanyahu.

Es ist also auch eine komplette Fehleinschätzung so zu tun, als wäre nur Netanyahu das Problem.

Wenn wir irgendwelche Äußerungen Netanyahus in den deutschen Medien hören, dann sind das - so übel sie auch klingen mögen - das was ihm diplomatisch vertretbar erscheint, bei dem schon der Druck der US-Regierung und anderer Regierungen mit eingepreist ist.
Echtes Handeln in Gaza, der Westbank wird bestimmt und umgesetzt von Extremisten die noch viel weiter rechts sind als Netanyahus Äußerungen.

Deren Ziele sind auch nichts was irgendwie in einer Form unklar wäre: Komplette Vertreibung aller Palästinenser, oder eine Existenz ohne jede Menschenrechte, ohne jede Selbstbestimmung, ohne jede Bewegungsfreiheit.

Und diese Variante ist noch die freundlichere Variante der Extremisten in Israel. Wenn man der kürzlich in Haaretz veröffentlichten Umfrage glauben mag, dann ist ein beträchtlicher Teil der israelischen Gesellschaft noch deutlich extremer eingestellt.
