Noa Limona details in #Haaretz how the Shin Bet intelligence service summoned a Palestinian student from Haifa University for interrogation regarding his activities with the #Hadash (left) partyβs university branch.
The student underwent body searches twice - upon arrival and before entering the interrogation room. When he asked if this was a formal investigation, the Shin Bet operative said no, adding cryptically that βthe investigation will be underground, without light.β
The operatives explicitly warned the student not to βcross red linesβ or βeven come close to them.β They allegedly threatened that if he did, they would raid his parentsβ house at 4 AM and destroy it.
[β¦] Haaretz has learned that another Arab student who belongs to the Haifa University Hadash branch was summoned for a similar warning talk. The second student said he preferred not to talk to Haaretz for fear of the consequences.

Estoy viendo toots sobre quΓ© si el fediverso estΓ‘ estancado, si bluesky pierde usuarios activos, sobre si la gente se vuelve o no a tuiter... y creo que da igual. El fediverso es muy nicho, es verdad, pero tiene la suficiente masa crΓtica de gente como para mantenerse mucho tiempo y que la gente establezca vΓnculos significativos. Por mΓ que se quede asΓ, si quisiera un clon de tuiter me hubiera ido a bluesky.
Bluesky es eso, un clon de tuiter, para lo bueno y para lo malo, que es muy malo, con sus dinΓ‘micas tΓ³xicas (el fediverso tampoco estΓ‘ exento de ellas, de eso ya hablaremos en otro momento), la Yihad sanchista, su dogpiling, su equipo de moderaciΓ³n dando la bienvenida a trΓ‘nsfobos y al puto JD Vance, sus trolls de tuiter haciΓ©ndose pasar por gente de izquierdas y un puΓ±ado de influencers buscando desesperadamente el casito que tenΓan en Tuiter.
Puede que mucha gente se haya vuelto a tuiter, en realidad a la gente le da igual si la empresa es de un nazi, joder el ViΓ±aRock batiΓ³ rΓ©cords de asistencia pese a saberse que estaba financiado por un fondo sionista implicado en el genocidio, la gente quiere selseo y dopamina y gritos, muchos gritos, joder que SΓ‘lvame fue lΓder de audiencia AΓOS. Pero tambiΓ©n es verdad que tuiter es cada vez mΓ‘s una red social de bots hablando con bots.
Puede pasar que la gente estΓ© hasta las gΓ³nadas de redes sociales de texto y especialmente la gente joven lo vea como algo arcaico, como si fuese el IRC (no estoy diciendo nada malo del IRC que os veo venir).
Igual es que soy un seΓ±or mayor pero me gusta que esta red social sea nicho. Yo que sΓ©.

For almost a month, the non-binary antifa activist Maja has been on hunger strike to denounce the conditions of their imprisonment in Hungary and to ask to be sent back to Germany. On Tuesday, July 1, their health deteriorated so much that hospitalization was necessary. Maja was moved 260 km from Budapest to a hospital near the Romanian border.
Solidarity actions continue (banks have been stoned in Shwelm and Leipzig β see here and here), but in the face of this alarming situation, their supporters are calling for an intensification of mobilization.

#GazaGenocide / A cafe in the Gaza Strip was bombed from the sea, killing 34 of its residents, including a journalist
At least 20 people were killed and many more injured in intensive bombing by Israeli forces across Gaza, according to medical reports. The bombing began at dawn, hitting multiple locations and causing severe damage to buildings and civilian infrastructure. Seven of the dead were reportedly shot while waiting for humanitarian aid. A cafe in the Gaza City port, which also provided internet services, was struck, killing journalist Ismail Abu Hatab and injuring journalist Biyan Abu Saltan. The situation in Shifa Hospital is catastrophic, with many wounded arriving with burn injuries and a lack of resources. Since the start of the offensive on October 7, 56,531 civilians have been killed and 133,642 injured.
[β¦] Shifa Hospital reported last night that 34 people were killed in an Israeli military strike in the Gaza City port area, including women and children. Palestinian media reported that the navy carried out the strike, targeting an area where civilians were not asked to evacuate. It was also reported that the target of the strike was a cafe in the port that provided internet services to dozens of people. The Israeli military stated that several "Hamas terrorists" were attacked and that the incident is under investigation. According to the French news agency, the cafe where the strike occurred was a cafe that provided internet services, and among the dead was journalist Ismail Abu Hatab, and among the wounded was journalist Biyan Abu Saltan.
