The voters who watch Fox and lend unquestioning support to Israeli maximalism are old and getting older. Meanwhile, Republicans between the ages of 18 and 49 have registered the sharpest rise in “unfavorable views” toward Israel, jumping to 50% earlier this year, up from 35% in 2019, according to RealClear polling.

@Emmanuel Florac They seem to have one the first battle. The US and Israel will not stop unless Iran or some other entities force their hands. The war on Iran is just another phase of the war on multi-polarity. The hegemonic empire must crush any competition. This is the same war against Russia, China and any and all rivals.
The west, namely the US calculates that if she can disrupt the government and people of Iran, she will expose the vulnerabilities of Russia. She may be right at that, so it is imperative that the target nations move in unison to counter her offensives.

Domains? Where we’re going, we don’t need domains! Until the end of this year, the only way to have a secure web site is to have it accessible via a domain name. That, however, is changing.Aral Balkan

I like the idea, but how do we keep an IP going from provider to provider? IPs are even more fragile than domains and changing that fact seems near impossible.
Instead, couldn’t a trusted nonprofit (say @eff or ISRG) buy a gTLD from ICANN, become a registrar and rent out domains at (very close to) self-cost with no insane price hikes? Picture what ISRG did with @letsencrypt, but for domains.
Running costs for this would currently be a fixed fee of US$6,250 per calendar quarter and a transaction fee of US$0.25[1]. These costs could be split on all registrants.
Some would probably say that .org is the answer, but the PIR drama in 2020[2] shows how fragile this system is. We *need* a TLD that doesn’t need to be saved by the @eff from hostile takeovers.
Imagine: more registrants would mean lower prices. That’s far from how gTLDs function now. A sudden spike in interest could introduce a sudden price increase.

Last weekend, the United States successfully carried out a massive precision strike on Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities, and it was very, very successful—It was called OBLITERATION. This incredible exercise of American strength has paved the way for peace, with a historic ceasefire agreement…
All the slaughters we read are part of retaliation against successful hits of #Palestinian #Resistance. But the Resistance hits soldiers not civilians and hospitals...
"Following the Israeli army’s release of an updated evacuation map that included Al-Shifa, several patients and wounded were moved out of the hospital’s wards. Surrounding areas were struck by Israeli missiles, triggering panic among displaced families, especially women and children.
Although the Israeli military had designated western Gaza City as a “safe zone,” it is now one of the most densely populated areas due to the influx of displaced residents.
Since Trump began his regional tour, Israeli attacks on #Gaza have escalated significantly. Dozens have been killed, including women, children, and at least one journalist. Strikes have also targeted two hospitals, six schools, and three shelters for displaced people—marking one of the deadliest escalations in recent weeks."

Since dawn today, Israel has escalated its attacks across the Gaza Strip, deliberately targeting civilian gatherings and residential areas, committing horrific massacres against them.
According to medical sources, at least 110 Palestinians have been slaughtered and hundreds of other Palestinians injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip within less than 24 hours.

Ce matin, j‘ai tondu l’herbe dans le jardin. Cette herbe que je croyais indescriptible mais dont je veux partager avec vous la description qu’en fait Victor Hugo dans l’Archipel de la Manche : « C’est l’herbe de partout… vous y trouverai des fétuques et des pâturins comme dans la première herbe venue, plus le cynodon pied-de-poule et la glycérie flottante, plus le brome mollet aux épillets en fuseau, plus le phalaris des Canaries, l’agrostide qui donne une teinture verte, l’ivraie ray-grass, le lupin jaune, la houlque, qui a de la laine sur sa tige, la flouve qui sent bon, l’amourette qui tremble, le souci pluvial, l’ail sauvage, dont la fleur est si douce et l’odeur si âcre, la fléole, le vulpin, dont l’épi semble une petite massue, le stipe, propre à faire des paniers, l’élyme utile à fixer les sables mouvants. … »
Je m’arrête là, ce n’est pas la dictée de Pivot mais je précise que la description continue, toute aussi détaillée concernant les fleurs et les insectes, aussi imagée et riche en vocabulaire. En lisant cela on s’aperçoit de l’effondrement de la connaissance qui ne concerne plus que les "zexperts". À l’époque (1883) ils n’avaient ni Google, ni Wikipédia mais ils savaient les choses. Une image vaut mille mots dit-on, mais à force d’en voir tant, on devient aveugle. Le siècle qui est le nôtre s’est enfoncé dans un gouffre d’ignorance. Il n’y a qu’à écouter les réponses d’élèves interrogés en micro-trottoir sur la manière qu’ils ont eu d’aborder les sujets de dissertation proposés pour leur dissertation de philo, pour constater le vide abyssal qui a envahi nos cervelles d’HPE « surdoués ».
À force d’images TikTok, on ne sait plus parler. L’appauvrissement du vocabulaire mène à des descriptions sommaires : ça va, ça/va pas, gentil/méchant, triste/gai, positif/négatif. Cette lecture réduite des problématiques entraîne une vision sommaire du monde d'où des grossièretés et des insultes, faute de moyen (d’expression). Résultat : on se poignarde dans la cour des écoles, on se bat en famille, on se défonce à mourir, ou l’on quitte la table des négociations parce qu’on s’y ennuie. La diplomatie ? La diplo quoi ? Toujours le même millier de mots répétés en boucle, ou larguer soudain un G9 pour rentrer chez soi en compagnie de sa bande de béotiens en bredouillant qu’on a « autre chose à faire », sous-entendu que de discuter avec des subalternes indécis et confus, des chefs de pseudo grands états, mais qu’on toise d’un regard méprisant…
Notre monde se précipite vers sa fin devant les caméras. Face à l’ignorance crasse des dictateurs, n’y a-t-il d’autre issue que d’espérer se faire promptement remplacer par une Intelligence Artificielle à qui l'on accorde tous les crédits ?
Nous vivons une ère ténébreuse qui ne s’éclaire la nuit que lorsque les missiles du dôme de fer interceptent roquettes / bombes longues portées venues de l’étranger…
Alors, j’ai replié le journal, et je suis retourné m’allonger dans l’herbe pour lire Victor l’exilé…
