President Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s three most significant nuclear sites on Saturday helped rid the world of a grave nuclear threat and was a large step toward restoring U.S. deterrence. It also creates an opportunity for a more peaceful Middle East, if the nations of the region will seize it.

Not that the attack on Iran is about nuclear weaponry anyway, but rather Israel seeking the destruction of that state.admin (Palestine Chronicle)
Während die Welt auf den #Iran schaut, hat Israels Vernichtungskampagne in #Gaza neue, schreckliche Ausmaße erreicht. Jeden Tag müssen hungernde #Palästinenser in abgelegene Gebiete gehen, um zu versuchen, Essen zu bekommen, und werden dabei massiv angegriffen, sodass die sogenannten #Hilfsgüterverteilungsstellen zu offenen Schlachtfeldern werden.
Die Angriffe auf Palästinenser, die nach Essen suchen, haben in der letzten Woche stark zugenommen, wobei täglich Dutzende Menschen erschossen und beschossen werden. Die Zahl der Todesopfer allein in den letzten Tagen ist schockierend: Mindestens 38 Menschen wurden am Montag getötet, 59 am Dienstag, 22 am Donnerstag und 35 am Freitag. Seit Ende Mai wurden über 400 Menschen getötet und mehr als 3.000 verletzt, in dem, was das Gesundheitsministerium in Gaza als „Hilfsgütermassaker“ bezeichnet – ein neuer Begriff, der in das Vokabular des Völkermords in Gaza aufgenommen wurde.
Ahmed Nejm, ein 28-Jähriger, der mit seiner zehnköpfigen Familie in Deir al-Balah auf der Flucht ist, sitzt im Rollstuhl und kann nicht mehr laufen, seit er bei einem israelischen Angriff auf eine Versammlung von Palästinensern, die in der Nähe von Wadi Gaza (dem #Netzarim-Korridor) Hilfe suchten, am 11. Juni verletzt wurde. Er war sich der Risiken bewusst, als er sich dorthin begab.
„Wir versuchen, diese #Hungersnot zu überstehen“, sagte Nejm gegenüber Drop Site. „Es gibt kein Brot und kein Mehl. Deshalb haben wir uns auf die Suche nach Hilfe gemacht.“ Er berichtete, dass er mit seinen Cousins und Nachbarn vor Tagesanbruch an dem Ort angekommen sei, um dort zusammen mit Hunderten anderen zu warten. Stunden später griffen die Israelis ohne Vorwarnung an und eröffneten das Feuer mit scharfer Munition und #Quadcoptern. Dutzende wurden getötet, darunter Nejms 15-jähriger Cousin Abdulrahman. Mit Blut bedeckt gelang es Nejm, unter den Kugeln wegzukriechen. #Krankenwagen konnten den Ort nicht erreichen, und er wurde schließlich ins Al-Aqsa-Krankenhaus gebracht. „Wir waren in einem Gebiet, das [die Israelis] auf der Karte als grün markiert hatten. Ich weiß nicht, warum sie angefangen haben zu schießen“, sagte er.
Das schlimmste #Massaker an Helfern ereignete sich am 17. Juni, als mindestens 59 Palästinenser getötet und über 200 verletzt wurden, als sie sich in Khan Yunis versammelt hatten, um Mehlrationen zu erhalten. Das #Nasser-#Krankenhaus war mit Verletzten überfüllt. „Das medizinische Team, das auf den Zustrom von Patienten reagierte, musste die #Entbindungsstation räumen, um Platz für die Verwundeten zu schaffen, und die Kreißsäle in Notoperationssäle umwandeln. Viele der Verletzten mussten amputiert werden, um ihr Leben zu retten“, erklärte Ärzte ohne Grenzen, die in Nasser im Einsatz waren, in einer Erklärung. „Jeden Tag werden Palästinenser bei ihren Versuchen, Vorräte aus den unzureichenden #Hilfslieferungen zu erhalten, die nach #Gaza gelangen, mit einem Blutbad konfrontiert.“
„Das Leben der Palästinenser wird so gering geschätzt. Es ist mittlerweile Routine, verzweifelte und hungernde Menschen zu erschießen, während sie versuchen, ein wenig Essen von einer Gruppe von Söldnern zu ergattern“, schrieb Philippe #Lazzarini, #Generalkommissar des #UNRWA, am Mittwoch in einem Post in den sozialen Medien. „Hungernde Menschen in den Tod zu treiben, ist ein #Kriegsverbrechen. Die Verantwortlichen für dieses System müssen zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden. Das ist eine Schande und ein Schandfleck für unser kollektives Gewissen.“
Die wenigen Hilfsgüter, die die Israelis ins Land gelassen haben, haben fast nichts zur Linderung der humanitären Katastrophe in Gaza beigetragen. Zwischen dem 2. März und dem 27. Mai verhängte #Israel eine vollständige #Blockade, sodass weder #Lebensmittel noch #Hilfsgüter ins Land gelangen konnten. Am 27. Mai richtete die Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, eine von den USA und Israel unterstützte Gruppe, im Süden einige militarisierte Verteilungszentren ein. Das Projekt wurde von den Vereinten Nationen und internationalen Organisationen als Instrumentalisierung der Hilfe verurteilt. Israel hat auch eine sehr begrenzte Anzahl von UN-Hilfsgüterlastwagen über den Grenzübergang Zikim im Norden nach Gaza einreisen lassen.
Seit Ende April ist die Zahl der Mahlzeiten, die in Gemeinschaftsküchen in Gaza zubereitet werden, um 83 % zurückgegangen. Zwischen März und Mai hat sich die Rate der akuten Unterernährung in Gaza mehr als verdoppelt, und laut #UNO leidet die gesamte Bevölkerung Hunger und steht am Rande einer totalen Hungersnot.
„Gaza ist der hungrigste Ort der Welt“, sagte Jens #Laerke, Sprecher des Büros der Vereinten Nationen für die Koordinierung humanitärer Angelegenheiten, im Mai in einer Fernsehansprache. „Es ist das einzige definierte Gebiet – ein Land oder ein definiertes Gebiet innerhalb eines Landes –, in dem die gesamte Bevölkerung von einer #Hungersnot bedroht ist.“ Israel verhindere absichtlich die Lieferung von Hilfsgütern und benutze Lebensmittel als #Kriegswaffe. „Die Hilfsaktion, die wir bereit haben, wird in eine operative Zwangsjacke gesteckt, die sie zu einer der am stärksten behinderten Hilfsaktionen nicht nur in der heutigen Welt, sondern in der jüngeren Geschichte der globalen humanitären Hilfe überhaupt macht. Die Blockade und die strenge Kontrolle der Aktion werden von einer Konfliktpartei verhängt – der Besatzungsmacht Israel in Gaza.“
Die eskalierenden Angriffe finden vor dem Hintergrund schwerer Störungen des #Internet- und #Telekommunikationsnetzes statt. Israelische Angriffe im Juni haben #Glasfaserkabel durchtrennt, was zu einem vollständigen Ausfall der Internetverbindung geführt hat. Nur ein Teil der Dienste konnte wiederhergestellt werden, was die Gefahr eines vollständigen Zusammenbruchs der #Kommunikation in ganz Gaza erhöht. Neben der geringeren Zahl von Bildern und Berichten, die aus dem Gebiet kommen, ist auch die humanitäre Koordination innerhalb des Gebiets stark beeinträchtigt, und die Palästinenser haben zunehmend Schwierigkeiten, lebensrettende Informationen und Notdienste zu erreichen oder Kontakt zu Freunden und Familienangehörigen aufzunehmen.
„Die Lage ist im Moment wirklich schwierig“, schrieb Dr. Yahya al-Agha, Arzt im Nasser-Krankenhaus, am Freitag in einer Nachricht an Drop Site. „Die Kommunikation in Khan Yunis ist unterbrochen und wir haben Probleme, ins Internet zu kommen“, sagte er und erklärte, dass er nur von bestimmten Orten aus mit einer eSIM-Karte, die eine Verbindung zu israelischen Mobilfunknetzen herstellt, Nachrichten senden kann.
#UNICEF-Sprecher James #Elder, der kürzlich in Gaza war, sagte in einer Erklärung, dass die #Kommunikationssperre direkt zu den Massakern beitrage. „Es gab Fälle, in denen Informationen darüber verbreitet wurden, dass eine [Verteilungsstelle] geöffnet ist, aber dann wurde in den sozialen Medien mitgeteilt, dass sie geschlossen ist, aber diese Informationen wurden verbreitet, als das Internet in Gaza ausgefallen war und die Menschen keinen Zugang dazu hatten“, sagte er.

#CraigMurray | You Cannot Negotiate with the Zionist West
"I see much futile discussion as to whether Israel is controlling the US or the US controlling Israel. Plainly the answer is both; there is a deep symbiotic relationship of the political classes in both places. The key point is that the Israel settler colony carries an insupportable weight in the policy decisions of Western politicians. Like all colonialism – and as outlined by Lenin and Hobson – this is because colonialism benefits the personal interests of the wealthy and military classes but is a burden on working people."

Today, at the Living Planet Symposium, ESA revealed the first stunning images from its groundbreaking Biomass satellite mission – marking a major leap forward in our ability to understand how Earth’s forests are changing and exactly how they contribute to the global carbon cycle. But these inaugural glimpses go beyond forests. Remarkably, the satellite is already showing potential to unlock new insights into some of Earth’s most extreme environments.

TRUMP DISSES MASSIE
( Trump Doesn't Like Dissenting Voices )
====Bullhorn Barry📢 (Opinion / News)
In my opinion, this is NOT a good look for Trump. It comes off as if Trump wants everyone to agree with him on every decision he makes and that is not a good look. I think it's CRUCIAL we have dissenting voices at this time or we get runaway Presidents like we had with Biden. Of course Biden wasn't running anything but he was definitely the front man.
I'm a staunch Trump Supporter, but I could care less if Trump likes my opinions about his decisions or not. I will praise Trump when I think he's doing right and criticize him when I think it's necessary. Btw, I think a lot of MAGA Supporters are grateful for what Massie has been saying. And that doesn't even mean they all agree with him. It simply means they appreciate him speaking his point of view and dissenting.
The support for Massie is certainly not non-existent among MAGA. Probably more people are behind Trump than Massie, but Massie's support is not insignificant. And maybe Trump sees that as a threat, but the MAGA Movement is NOT about Trump—It's about We The People.

There is a lot bluesky gets right, and a lot it gets wrong, the same is true with Activitypub.
Atproto is content-addressed, and portable. This means that posts can exist independantly of their original server.
Instead of giving posts a https uri, which will stop working if a user moves servers or their server disappears, they give them at uris.
For example, this post on bsky.app: bsky.app/profile/ponder.ooo/po…
Has the at:// link is: at://did:plc:i4bfh2tyxihe2ksplmtcoopk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk4yrmyugc2f.
The post does exist over https at https://porcini.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.getRecord?repo=did:plc:i4bfh2tyxihe2ksplmtcoopk&collection=app.bsky.feed.post&rkey=3lk4yrmyugc2f.
Atproto is very easy to build apps on. For example, tangled.sh, frontpage.fyi and flushes.app are all apps built on atproto.
Atproto allows more flexibility in what an app can do, as opposed to lemmy or mastodon's api.
Atproto is better documented. The ActivityPub spec leaves a lot up to the reader.
Atproto has some really good moderation tools for users. People can make public blocklists of users, and people can subscribe to labellers, people or services which give users/posts a label.
almost everyone is on bluesky's PDSes. I thought mastodon.social and lemmy.world were bad, but the people on alternate PDSes altogether adds up to only a few thousand.
Its decentralised identifiers are actually completely centralised!
DID:PLC, their DID method, originally stood for placeholder, but they renamed it to Public Ledger of Credentials.
To use it, you have to use plc.directory.
You can use a DID:WEB DID, but if your website linked to it goes down you lose your identity.
(I find it extremely funny that its not actually a requirement for a decentralised identifier to be decentralised. )
Everything on the network has to be public to work.
since relays have to be able to collect all the information on the network for Appviews to be able to make use of that information, anyone can find out who's blocking someone, or who is on a list, or who's following who, with no way of hiding that information.
Private accounts and posts are impossible to do on atproto.
Since everything is public, DMs (for now) are centralised. They do seem like they want to change that though.
AP (ActivityPub) is better distributed. While it has large servers (like mastodon.social or lemmy.world (and threads, but we don't talk about threads)) the majority of users are not on those servers. There is no single point of failure. If bluesky disappeared tomorrow, atproto would still exist, it would just have a negligable amount of users.
One node in the network lets you do everything, as opposed to bluesky which has three parts (You can do stuff without a relay though). This means you can trust a lot less of the network.
ActivityPub scales better than ATProto. Atproto scales quadratically, meaning that having a lot of nodes in the network harms performance.
AP scales horizontally, meaning it works better with a lot of small servers.
ActivityPub can keep stuff private, like blocks and posts.
Though, a lot of implementations can leak posts.
The spec leaves so much out. They didn't propose a way to make sure requests between servers are validated, so mastodon chose HTTP signatures.
They didn't add any way of looking up handles, so mastodon chose webfinger.
A posts's id is its https uri, this means thatif a server goes down, stuff can't be fetched. A user can't move their followers if their server goes down (you can on ATproto). There is a standard to fix this, FEP-ef61, but it breaks compatibility with a lot of implementations.
Missing information is a problem. Its not really a problem on lemmy, but on mastodon likes and replies from other servers may not make it to your server at all (you can fetch replies in newer versions of mastodon though).
All this aside, I do think the two can coexist. I don't see anything like lemmy working on atproto. ActivityPub seems closer to social networking, as opposed to social media.
Something like facebook would be impossible to make on atproto, because not everything is made to be public.
I am hoping for a bridge, but good (bridgy is opt-in, making it useless).

Would SSO every be possible with ActivityPub?
Like if you built a new app (network) on AP and allow people to sign in with their Mastodon handle?
Pixelfed lets you sign in using mastodon's oauth, but that's probably not what you mean.
There is OpenWebAuth, but its not really implemented by many major projects. codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…

“History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world’s most dangerous regime the world’s most dangerous weapons,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday night. Mr. Trump thanked him and said “we worked as a team.”

None of his supporters were using that to complain he wasn't starting enough wars. In fact, his promise of less global involvement was part of his appeal. So this becomes a variant of TACO.
Meanwhile, the chatter about TACO is all too real:
"Trump flip flops again on mass deportation raids targeting farms and hotels"
> Trump has flip flopped again on mass deportation by ordering the resumption of raids targeting work sites in the agriculture and hospitality industries, just days after officials halted them under pressure from big business.
