'We're Sentenced to Death Without a Voice': Palestinians Fear Israel-Iran Front Will Deepen Gaza's Suffering (Haaretz, 2025-06-16)

>> When Gaza's internet flickered back to life after a three-day telecommunications blackout, the first images people saw … of missiles lighting up the sky over Israel…

>> On top of all the contradicting emotions came a sobering realization: This war was not Gaza's. While missiles crossed multiple regional borders, Gaza remained trapped. Aid was still blocked and Israeli airstrikes continued to rain down.

>> As global attention pivoted toward Tehran, Gaza continued to pay a heavy price. In the 48 hours following Israel's initial strike on Iran, the number of Palestinians killed in the Strip exceeded the combined death toll in both #Iran and Israel.

'We're sentenced to death without a voice': Palestinians fear Israel-Iran front will deepen Gaza's suffering

Gaza emerged from a telecom blackout to footage of the aftermath of Iran's retaliatory strikes in Israel. 'Watching buildings collapse, seeing the fear and terror we've lived through – they're living that now'

I think it’s time we revive the #notInMyName hashtag

I most certainly do *not* stand with Israel, Mr Starmer

#israel #gaza #iran #palestine #genocide

*edit* it’s been pointed out to me that this picture is from October 2024, and as such potentially doesn’t reflect current diplomatic relations between the UK and Israel. Thanks to @elaine1helen for the tip. My bad for not checking first.

Starmer standing between two union flags beneath the picture is a BBC title reading Starmer: we stand with Israel

The world's oceans don't need ‘a moment’ but an effective high seas treaty — and even that might be too little, too late:

"A study by National Geographic Pristine Seas and Dynamic Planet found that...85 new marine protected areas would need to be created daily. So far, less than 3% of the ocean is given this extra protection."

Is the ocean ‘having a moment’? This was the UN summit where the world woke up to the decline of the seas

A slew of global leaders met in the south of France to discuss the future of the oceans. There was ‘momentum’ and ‘enthusiasm’, but there were critical voices too

⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇱 Summary of the IRGC Statement on the 8th Wave of “Sadeq Promise 3”

The IRGC announced a more powerful wave of missile strikes on Israeli targets, claiming improved tactics disrupted Israeli military command systems and caused defense units to misfire on each other.

They credit the operation to strategies inspired by commanders Bagheri, Salami, and Hajizadeh, and assert that despite Western support for Israel, the missiles struck with high precision.

The IRGC vowed to continue the strikes until the collapse of the Israeli regime.

So if I'm reading this right, there were armed peacekeeping volunteers organized with the event (not necessarily by the protest organizers but they were part of the protest). One of them saw a guy grab an AR-15 from an alley and confronted him. The rifle-weilder raised his rifle, the peacekeeper fired several shots, killing a random person and wounding the rifleman. The rifleman is being charged with the murder because Utah law probably counts anybody dying as the result of a crime to be murder for the person committing (a few states do that). They're currently investigating the peacekeeper.

I'm curious to know more about this peacekeeper business. Were they openly armed? Were they all armed? How big was this group? How were they organized? Presumably the rifleman was trying to start shooting or at least threatening to shoot. If the police weren't sure of that much, they wouldn't have charged him with murder. If the peacekeeper isn't even being arrested, my guess is the police feel very confident about how this went down.

Bike light recommendations

Hi

Can someone recommend some decent bike lights? I have a front one that attaches with the rubber band type thing that's pretty good except it turns on in my bag every time so it's always dead when I go to use it.

Needs be removable from the bike easily.

I would prefer USB C over micro USB. Or maybe rechargeable AA battery which I already own.

Also the rear light is gonna be attached to milk crate on the back rack.

It's for a city just to be seen so I don't need 7150 lumens.

Thanks!

I mainly use this rear light. It comes with a bracket so you can mount it to the back of your rear rack. Then you just clip it in. I hate the rubber band lights.

I'm also quite happy with this front light. The mount stays on your bars and the light really easily clips in and out.

Borth are usb-c. Don't bother with the planet bike front lights. Maybe their nicer ones are better but the mount is ass for the cheaper ones.

How I got down from the plane in Tirana airport, where they use stairs to get down to the tarmac.

I had to wait until everyone else had deplaned & were whisked away by a bus, then this large specialty lift truck arrived on the other side of the plane from the stairs, elevated up and put over a rickety platform. For someone with acrophobia, it was terrifying. Thankfully, the driver kindly assisted me. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania @disability

View from inside a large specialty lift vehicle as it starts to descend from an Austrian Air plane. The driver is seated in a chamber with a full-sized window doors at either end. Adjacent is another doored-chamber, which leads to an extendable rickety metal gangplank. The view is as I'm seated on a bench and out of camera is the rest of the large chamber, which had two plane aisle wheelchairs in it.

View of the rest of the airport lift vehicle, showing two aisle wheelchairs in it. (I can't remember the official name for these.)

Plane aisles are not accessible to regular wheelchairs because the airlines are busy with designs packing people in like sardines. So these are narrower wheelchairs dependent on having an abled air employee push you down the aisle. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania

Large metal specialized airplane lift vehicle inside. It has large rectangular windows with rounded corners. There's a small rail underneath the windows for accessibility. Two narrow chairs with no armrests, and black upholstered padding and black woven straps stand against the wall. Some sort of portable barrier with aluminum tubes framing orange construction netting lies on the floor. The end opposite the driving chamber has a larger window, showing us elevated over the airport tarmac, and a view of other planes in the background.

Just a word about Al Jazeera. They are amazing at covering Gaza and West Bank.
Not so good at covering Syria, Hezbollah, Iran. I hear that it's to do with their backer Qatar. Qatar is US compromised. They have their own reasons, no doubt and I hope they're hedging their bets. They recently got closer to Iran. They know that with a direct US/Iran war, they're in the crosshairs. They have the largest US base like 50 miles from Doha. Good luck to them..

»When the Zionist left erupts in celebration over a reckless attack on Iran, it reveals a stubborn attachment to the fantasy that, no matter what we do, or how deeply we alienate ourselves from the region we live in, the army will always protect us.
[...]
In this sense, the fantasy of immunity granted by the army runs even deeper in the Zionist left than on the right. The right’s answer to its security anxiety is annihilation and ethnic cleansing — that’s its endgame.«

Stop using ideological and academic language to address political issues intended for broad public consideration.

Make simple language statements to clearly articulate your points so "everyone" (the vast majority) can understand, not just those with specific education and knowledge.

If you can't do that, then you're insufficiently knowledgeable about your topics, to paraphrase, and shouldn't be pushing your points as being intended for the general public, but just for an elite class, "comrade"

Revolution isn't possible


 ... or

I really don't see a way out of the clutches of neolibralism. Our health service is privatised, war crimes are committed daily, then our mass media either ignore it or lie to us about it.

So much of our lives have succumbed to the cancer of neolibralism. It will only get worse.

Privatisation happens in front of our eyes but is (conveniently) poorly covered in corporate news. Our government is the pits and gets away with it daily.

Without education and clear information, this country can never free itself from the tyrannies of profiteers.

How do you destroy a digital threat? One that exists on many servers, a Hydra with infinite heads.

Our information is controlled, our democracy is inadequate, and our corporate politicians continue the vandalism of our public assets.

Maybe the only way forward is a national strike, or a national boycott, the only thing that can force our leaders to change their actions.

But how can you get this idea across to the duped masses when our information channels are so tightly controlled? And would it work anyway?

@N.MorganThere were many, many, many attempted and failed vaccines. Which only proves that morons can't do Bayes, and biologists especially can't do math. Since the probability of a successful vaccine, must take into account all the failed one. Poor little morons, so confused about selection and survival bias. But, hey, I suggest all Democrats get extra boosted for riot seasons.

I do believe you are helping train AI and large language models with these queries so these actions are commendable. So vaccine “science” is based on predetermined planned “positive” outcomes and doctors and/or CDC/NIH just push it via coercion, approved vaccine schedules and lies? For what purpose though? Kickbacks and monetary gain from big Pharma? Population reduction? Bioweapon development? It certainly isn’t to prevent disease anymore…curious what your opinion is.
