QUE RETENIR DES 12 JOURS DE CONFRONTATION ENTRE L’IRAN ET ISRAËL ?
Infos Brutes- 24/06/25

La confrontation inédite entre l’Iran et Israël aura duré près de deux semaines, marquant une rupture majeure dans la dynamique régionale. Le cessez-le-feu, initié par les États-Unis, témoigne de la volonté israélienne d’éviter une désavantageuse guerre d'usure. Cette initiative reflète en réalité un signal d'essoufflement d’Israël. Mais que nous enseignent réellement ces douze jours d’échanges de frappes ?

  1. Sur le plan politique interne iranien

L’attaque israélienne, justifiée par le prétexte nucléaire, n’a pas affaibli la République islamique. Au contraire, elle a consolidé la cohésion nationale. Face à l’agression, le peuple iranien a resserré les rangs autour du régime, démontrant que la capacité de résistance d’une Nation repose avant tout sur l’unité de son peuple.

  1. Sur le plan technologique – Iran

L’Iran a pu tester grandeur nature ses missiles balistiques à longue portée. Au-delà de la démonstration de puissance, c’est une opportunité d’ajustement technique. L’expérience de terrain servira à perfectionner ces armes, à les rendre plus précises et potentiellement plus dissuasives à l’avenir.

  1. Sur le plan technologique – Israël

La supériorité technologique israélienne, longtemps considérée comme un acquis, a été sérieusement mise à rude épreuve. Malgré la présence du Dôme de Fer, des systèmes avancés de défense antimissile et la puissance de son aviation, les missiles iraniens ont percé les « rideaux de protection » et atteint des cibles stratégiques, ébranlant la confiance dans ces boucliers.

  1. Sur le plan tactique – #Israël

Des décennies d’assassinats ciblés de scientifiques iraniens n’auront pas empêché l’Iran de maîtriser la technologie nucléaire. Les bombardements israéliens, en partie aveugles, n’ont pas détruit les capacités et le savoir-faire nucléaires de l’Iran. La centrale nucléaire de Bushehr n'a pas été touchée et l'incertitude demeure sur l'efficacité des frappes sur les infrastructures souterraines. Pire encore, le stock d'uranium hautement enrichi dissimulé ne finira pas de hanter Tel-Aviv.

  1. Sur le plan #géopolitique

L’image d’invincibilité d’Israël en sort affaiblie. Pour la première fois, un État souverain a revendiqué et exécuté des frappes en profondeur sur le territoire israélien avec un lourd bilan humain et des dégâts considérables. Cette brèche stratégique aura un impact durable sur la perception de la superpuissance militaire d'Israël.

  1. Sur le plan tactique – Iran

L’Iran s’attellera désormais à renforcer considérablement ses systèmes de défense aérienne. L’investissement dans des technologies hypersoniques et furtives deviendra une priorité, tout comme la dissimulation accrue des infrastructures militaires stratégiques pour renforcer sa dissuasion et sa capacité de projection.

  1. Sur le plan de la retenue iranienne

Malgré sa capacité à infliger des dégâts considérables, l’Iran a fait preuve de retenue stratégique. Il aurait pu viser la centrale nucléaire de Dimona ou les installations de dessalement, provoquant une catastrophe humanitaire et écologique. Ce choix délibéré de ne pas franchir certaines lignes rouges montre une volonté de ne pas provoquer une guerre totale.

  1. Sur la coopération avec la #Russie et la #Chine

Bien que la Russie et la Chine aient ouvertement condamné les frappes israéliennes, leur soutien concret se veut plus discret. La présence de scientifiques russes sur certains sites iraniens suggère une collaboration étroite dans le nucléaire et le militaire. Les missiles iraniens devenus subitement performants prouvent l'efficacité de la coopération militaire et technologique avec la Russie, la Chine, la Corée du Nord et le Pakistan.

  1. Sur le dossier #nucléaire

La situation ramène paradoxalement le dossier nucléaire iranien à son point de départ: la voie diplomatique. L’Iran se retrouve en position de force pour relancer les négociations avec ses conditions ou, au contraire, accélérer discrètement sa transition vers le nucléaire militaire, s'il est considéré par Téhéran comme seule garantie de sécurité face à des menaces existentielles.

  1. Sur le plan militaire israélien

Habitué à affronter des groupes non étatiques comme le Hezbollah ou le Hamas, Israël découvre les limites de sa stratégie face à un État organisé, disposant de moyens balistiques conséquents. L’option militaire perd de son attractivité stratégique, et la confiance dans les systèmes d’alerte précoce et de défense est sérieusement entamée.

  1. Sur le plan des pertes humaines et matérielles

Malgré une communication strictement contrôlée par Tel-Aviv, de nombreux observateurs remettent en question le bilan humain en raison de l’ampleur des dégâts. L'étendue des destructions à Haïfa, Tel-Aviv ou Beersheba , associée aux indemnisations civiles et au coût des interceptions, pèsera lourdement sur l'économie israélienne, même avec le soutien américain.

  1. Sur le plan de la politique intérieure israélienne

#Netanyahou a momentanément renforcé sa position en détournant l’attention de ses ennuis judiciaires et à se maintenir au pouvoir. Mais l’opinion publique, d’abord favorable à l’attaque, pourrait basculer face aux limites révélées par la riposte iranienne. La paix avec les voisins s'imposera désormais comme une option crédible.

  1. Sur le rapport de force régional

Cette confrontation aura des effets durables sur l’équilibre régional. Les États arabes observeront avec attention la capacité d’un État comme l’Iran à tenir tête militairement à Israël. Cela pourrait redessiner les alliances, refroidir certaines normalisations diplomatiques, et réactiver des dynamiques de dissuasion nucléaire au #Moyen-Orient.

  1. Sur le plan du droit international

L’agression israélienne contre l’ #Iran, sans justification reconnue par le droit international, viole la Charte des Nations unies. Pourtant, les États occidentaux n’ont ni condamné cette action ni rappelé les principes de souveraineté. En invoquant une « guerre préventive » — non reconnue juridiquement — pour justifier l’attaque, ils valident un double standard. Or selon leur propre définition, les États qui ne respectent pas le droit international sont qualifiés d'«États voyous».

@brucelawson, well, Wavebox is also nice, but I don't think that it is a big competidor for Vivaldi for the normal User, it's a paid Browser and the free versión is too limited (1 extension admited, no sync....WTF). It can be a competidor in companies where is teamwork needed, there it has some advantages over Vivaldi, but that is.

I am typing this from a ThinkPad E535 laptop.

It is usable from Linux Mint live boot, even with only 4GB memory. Not sure how it will work with Windows 11 (though I may upgrade to 16GB if Windows ends up staying on it).

The A6-4400M CPU isn't that powerful. It could be upgraded to an A8 or A10, but I don't think I have one of those lying around.

This laptop is perfectly fine for retro or minimal type tasks, but would struggle a bit what is expected out of laptops today (as least without upgrades).

I have customers who want laptops under $200 - this certainly would fit that requirement.

New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 172: Skrmetti Puttanesca heterodorx.substack.com/p/epis…

On June 18 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on US v. Skrmetti, deciding whether a Tennessee law prohibiting certain medical interventions on youngsters violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. The Hon. Elspeth Cypher (ret.) a.k.a. Judge TERF joins the Dorx to dissect the case, the decision, the concurrences, and the dissents. Which concurrence is best, Thomas’s or Barrett’s? Does Justice Sotomayor suffer from pathological empathy? If Skrmetti were a pasta, what type of sauce would be best on it? Plus Nina mis-sexes Chase Strangio (whoops!), Cori’s gender is Jewish, and Judge TERF solves the crisis in the Middle East.

‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops


A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.

“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”

“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.

“fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”

In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.

“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.

Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.

McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.

In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.

Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.

ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.

ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.

Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

Joseph Cox contributed reporting.

People, I'm the last person to minimise the genocidal mass murder Israel is committing in Gaza, but I am a statistician and you should stop quoting this claim that the IDF's own estimates show that 377,000 people in Gaza are unaccounted for or presumably killed.

The link to the original paper on the Harvard Dataverse seems to be down, but a copy is embedded here: 21stcenturywire.com/wp-content…

The calculation compares the pre-war population of 2.227 million with the sum of the IDF's population estimates for the three remaining enclaves outside of its declared evacuation zones. That difference is larger than the current official count of traumatic injury deaths by the repeatedly-quoted 377,000.

Now first of all, note that this is not a finding by the original study author, who doesn't actually address this question at all. They just happen to include some IDF population estimates in their map as ancillary information.

Secondly, note that for Gaza City, the figure is given as “1 mil” (as opposed to, say, “1.0 mil”), indicating it is rounded. So already there could easily be 77,000 or however many people disappearing in that rounding error. It could work in the other direction too, of course, but the point remains that we shouldn't read too much into the number.

Thirdly, the Palestinian ambassador to Egypt has suggested that as many as 100,000 have managed to flee. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-fe…

Finally, the assumption that the population outside of the enclaves, inside the “evacuated" areas, is zero, is known to be false. As a matter of fact, we've been literally objecting that ‘Israel is falsely designating Gaza areas as empty in order to bomb them’ (972mag.com/israel-gaza-empty-n…). The IDF claims areas as “evacuated" if it estimates that less than 20 percent of the population remain. That easily leaves room for tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand, to still be in those areas.

Maybe the death toll really is 400,000, who knows. But it's simply incorrect to claim that these numbers somehow suggest, never mind establish, that it is, or that the IDF itself has reached that conclusion. These numbers are also perfectly consistent with the total death toll in the 150,000-200,000 range that is suggested by other estimation approaches.

Catholics believe this verse is God telling them that their church is the one true church of God.

Matthew 16:18
>And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the forces of Hades will not overpower it.

That God is saying that Peter is the rock that Gods church shall be built, so lets examine the usages of the word "Rock" in the bible.

Genesis 49:24
>Yet his bow remained steady, and his strong arms were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel

God (Jesus) is the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel

Numbers 20:8
>“Take the staff and assemble the community. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will yield its water. You will bring out water for them from the rock and provide drink for the community and their livestock.”

While this definitely seems to be a literal rock that gives them water, it is also the allegorical rock that is Yahweh that nourishes them.

Deuteronomy 32:3
>For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name. Declare the greatness of our God! 4 The Rock—His work is perfect; all His ways are entirely just. A faithful God, without prejudice, He is righteous and true.

Deuteronomy 32:18
>You ignored the Rock who gave you birth; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.

Deuteronomy 32:30
>How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the Lord had given them up? 31 But their “rock” is not like our Rock; even our enemies concede.

Again, Yahweh is "The Rock" (insert Dwayne Johnson jokes).

1 Samuel 2:2
>There is no one holy like the Lord. There is no one besides You! And there is no rock like our God.

2 Samuel 22:2
>He said: The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer,

2 Samuel 22:32
>For who is God besides the Lord? And who is a rock? Only our God.

2 Samuel 22:47
>The Lord lives—may my rock be praised! God, the rock of my salvation, is exalted.

2 Samuel 23:3
>The God of Israel spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, “The one who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God,

God and "Rock" are synonyms.

Psalm 18:2
>The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 18:31
>For who is God besides Yahweh? And who is a rock? Only our God.

Only Yahweh is our Rock. Not Peter.

Psalm 19:14
>May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 28:1
>Lord, I call to You; my rock, do not be deaf to me. If You remain silent to me, I will be like those going down to the Pit.

Psalm 31:2
>Listen closely to me; rescue me quickly. Be a rock of refuge for me, a mountain fortress to save me. 3 For You are my rock and my fortress; You lead and guide me because of Your name.

Psalm 42:9
>I will say to God, my rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I go about in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”

Psalm 62:2
>He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will never be shaken.

Psalm 62:7
>My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock. My refuge is in God.

Psalm 71:3
>Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and fortress.

Psalm 78:35
>They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their Redeemer.

Psalm 89:26
>He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the rock of my salvation.’

Psalm 92:15
>to declare: “The Lord is just; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

Psalm 94:22
>But the Lord is my refuge; my God is the rock of my protection.

Psalm 137:8
>Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who pays you back what you have done to us. 9 Happy is he who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rocks.

This one isn't about God, but it makes me happy 😃 Hopefully this is near.

Psalm 144:1
>May the Lord, my rock, be praised, who trains my hands for battle and my fingers for warfare.

Isaiah 30:29
>Your singing will be like that on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.

Isaiah 44:8
>Do not be startled or afraid. Have I not told you and declared it long ago? You are my witnesses! Is there any God but Me? There is no other Rock; I do not know any.

NO. OTHER. ROCK.

Habakkuk 1:12
>Are You not from eternity, Yahweh my God? My Holy One, You will not die. Lord, You appointed them to execute judgment; my Rock, You destined them to punish us.

Matthew 7:24
The Two Foundations
>“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock.

The foundation is Yahweh.

Quoting Masha Gessen on why the story of antisemitism needs to be rewritten, starting in New York (apropos Zohran Mamdani):

[…] If there is such a thing as correct answers in politics, Mamdani had them. It ought to be uncontroversial for a mayor to focus on his city and for a politician to assert the value of equal rights. But the exchange fueled accusations of antisemitism.

Masha Gessen shows how the definition of #antisemitism has expanded to silence criticism of Israeli actions. Zohran Mamdani faces anti-Muslim slurs and doctored campaign materials all while being labeled antisemitic for supporting equal rights and focusing on local issues. Gessen argues that this conflation undermines understanding of actual antisemitism and creates fear that politicians exploit.

I totally agree with @Naureckas - This is about the #NYT, #WSJ, #BBC and many other Western outlets who historically pushed against any expression of opinion contradicting the established narrative. Is there any other reason why a the BBC never asked Avi Shlaim on any of their shows for commentary? kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/1147…

As an Israeli I’m well aware that most liberal mainstream Western media functions as a propaganda mechanism when it uncritically amplifies pro-Israel narratives when it systematically ignores 77 years of occupation. It’s an absurd that some of them exhibit more deference to Israel than Israeli media such as #Haaretz, which, despite its flaws and position within the establishment that resists peace, at least produces some critical analyses that are noticeably absent form some “liberal” press in the West.

Questioning established narratives invites accusations of “antisemitism”, and in turn allows Israel to break every international law, including those defining the terms of the occupation itself, often obscured with a cynical framing as “conflict” or “terrorism.”

To address this legacy, Western media must acknowledge history and facilitate discussions that may indeed question Israel’s right to exist, as that’s the core of the issue. Palestine’s partition fundamentally contradicted UN charter’s own principles of self-determination, and paved the way for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine’s majority population in 1948. This displacement of one population while securing overwhelming international support effectively made the Holocaust the Palestinians’ problem rather than Europeans’.

While we cannot undo all of that, we must allow discussions about solutions that consider reality, not only Israel’s anxieties, often expressed through cynical weaponization of the memory of the #Holocaust and antisemitism.​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My mom is safely with the Lord. She slipped away peacefully this morning around 9 am. I stayed with her until the morning, holding her hand, kissing her forehead, and softly touching her to soothe her. We listened to praise music all through the night.

I thought I did not have the courage to be with mom when she died, but the Lord came through and He gave me the strength.

When I realized mom was gone, I went to hallway to ask the nurses to help. Two of the nurses went into the room to check. And at that moment, all that strength left me.

They closed the door, and I put my hands over my ears like a child because I didn't want to hear them calling my mom and her not answering. When they came out of the room, one of them went to the linen cart and pulled out two sheets, and I knew why and I burst into tears.

I am so glad I was with my mom.

Glad she is Home.

They are also spending big on domestic arms production. France will be a big winner out of this since they've long valued independent military arms production and the rest of Europe will want to buy French stuff (yes along with American stuff) while they get their arms production up and running. South Korea is also a big arms supplier internationally.

The reduction in US support for NATO is largely part of a pivot to focusing on Taiwan and China. The US military industry would love it if the US focused on both and kept cozy relations with europe. I'm sure they're happy with the whole world increasing defense spending amid rising tensions, but they aren't happy about the US scaring away customers. I hate how involved the US military is globally but acting like Trump is some mastermind of American imperialism is reductive and giving him too much credit. The thought that Europe shouldn't be worried about Russia (the ones currently invading a European country) is bonkers.

🎙️ Enseignant, spécialiste de la guerre informationnelle et des enjeux numériques, Fabrice Epelboin décrypte dans cette première partie d’entretien les mutations profondes de nos régimes politiques à l’ère des #réseauxsociaux.

Vivons-nous encore en démocratie, ou bien dans une oligarchie ? Les plateformes comme TikTok ou Twitter peuvent-elles être compatibles avec une expression libre et éclairée ? Et comment comprendre les nouvelles droites radicales qui émergent un peu partout dans le monde, des libertariens californiens au trumpisme version Bannon ?

Un entretien dense, sur l’état des libertés, la #captologie, la fabrique de l’ #opinion et la fin de la social-démocratie en #Europe.

⏱ Chapitres :
00:00:00 – Introduction
00:02:05 – Peter Thiel, JD Vance, le fascisme de Bannon, MAGA
00:06:59 – Ce que dit la rupture entre Trump et Musk
00:11:15 – Pourquoi ce goût pour la censure en France
00:14:50 – Comprendre le bandwagon effect
00:17:54 – Alex Hitchens, AD Laurent… le ridicule de la commission TikTok
00:23:00 – Le divorce entre peuple et élites (immigration, RIC…)
00:29:21 – Algorithmes, captologie, bulles de filtre
00:35:25 – TikTok et la revanche de la Chine

Had my first phishing/scam email that purported to come from Bandcamp. Quite well worded (for once) and supposedly inviting you to an elite artist promotion scheme.
I forwarded it to support@bandcamp.com and within hours they replied confirming my suspicions, thanking me and saying they'd taken steps to prevent the Bandcamp page contact form being used as the phishing portal (that was how it had been done).
Excellent response by Bandcamp support I must say.

So KEEP EM PEELED!

« En Alsace, le data center de Microsoft consommera autant que 6 millions de foyers »

EDIT: Ils ont corrigé le titre : 350 000 foyers
Pour de l'IA.
Et "Les élus locaux sont très enthousiaste".
Ben tant mieux pour eux.

En Alsace, le data center de Microsoft consommera comme 6 millions de foyers

Les élus locaux sont très enthousiastes pour accueillir un data center géant de Microsoft dans le sud de l'Alsace. Conçu pour accompagner le développement
