Nine children evacuated from Gaza for reconstructive surgery
“These children will need long-term rehabilitation, including surgery, physiotherapy and mental health support. Their injuries include severe fractures, burns, and complex internal wounds, as well as deep psychological trauma.”
“Many of them will need years to heal from what they have endured.”

Good morning Fedi friends!
Now that my Fedi promo video is out and I'm no longer spending 7 hours a day doing motion graphics, I have time to pick up again writing for the blog #TheFutureIsFederated.
🔗: news.elenarossini.com/tag/the-…
This morning I will create a roadmap for the rest of the summer. There is so much I have yet to explore and write about.
At the top of my list: trying out #BookWyrm and the #Friends plugin for #wordpress
Any other requests? 👀
Wishing everyone a great day! 🌞
The Future is Federated is a series of essays about the Fediverse with the goal of introducing it to people not familiar with it... and showing interoperability between projects for more advanced users.Elena Rossini

C’est un fétiche et c’est une jérémiade : « l’union ». Pour quoi faire ? On ne sait pas. L’essentiel est d’être « unis ». Tous ensemble vers le talus — on finira sur le toit mais on sera restés soudés. Le gros bon sens qui tache proteste cependant : « unis, on est plus fort que divisés ; divisés on n’arrivera à rien ». Mais tellement. En matière syndicale, les prodiges de « l’union » sont encore très frais dans nos esprits, et offerts à (ne pas) être médités : c’était en 2023, à l’occasion des retraites. Pas d’erreur, on a été bien unis. Avec la CFDT. La preuve, on n’est pas « arrivés à rien » : puisqu’on a mis des millions de personnes dans la rue pendant deux mois. Pour, à la fin, perdre l’imperdable. Par alignement de « l’union » sur la mollesse politique, l’incompréhension des situations historiques et la nullité stratégique. Tous ensemble — dans la défaite. Attention, pas n’importe laquelle : une défaite triomphale, unanimement célébrée. Par la bourgeoisie – et sa presse, admirative : voilà de la bonne union, celle qui ne nous fera jamais aucun mal.

Plus: Exposing atrocities against Palestinian journalistsFreedom of the Press
Poland’s main opposition party, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), has proposed an entry ban for people from certain countries in the Middle East and Africa. It says this would help stop Germany’s practice of sending migrants who have illegally crossed the border back to Poland.The proposal comes amid renewed debate over how to tackle migration, with the Polish government on Tuesday announcing the reintroduction of controls on Poland’s borders with Germany and Lithuania in an effort to prevent the “uncontrolled flow of migrants”.
After Prime Minister Donald Tusk had announced the border controls, the head of PiS’s parliamentary caucus, Mariusz Błaszczak, said that the government’s actions were “too little, too late”.
“This crisis has been going on for months,” he continued. “This issue requires far-reaching action.”
Błaszczak said that PiS would submit a bill to parliament introducing a temporary ban on entry to Poland for third-country nationals from “specific countries outside Europe…whose citizens illegally cross borders”.
Previously, on Monday, PiS party leader Jarosław Kaczyński had called for an “immediate ban on entry to the territory of Poland for people from the Middle East and North Africa”.
PiS has not yet specified which Middle Eastern and African countries would be included in its proposed ban. It says they would be selected based on analysis of data showing which nationalities most often cross borders illegally or are transferred to Poland from Germany.
A government information campaign discouraging people from trying to illegally enter Poland was recently launched in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan and Egypt, countries from which Poland has identified the largest numbers of people crossing the border from Belarus.
Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from Asia and Africa – have tried to enter Poland from Belarus, with the encouragement and assistance of the Belarusian authorities.
In response, Poland has heavily fortified its eastern border with physical barriers and electronic monitoring. The government also recently banned asylum claims by people crossing from Belarus. Those measures have led to a dramatic decline in the numbers entering via that route.
In his remarks on Tuesday, Błaszczak made clear, however, that PiS’s proposed entry ban was designed to address the issue that has recently caused most controversy, which is Germany’s policy of sending back to Poland thousands of migrants who crossed the Polish-German border illegally.
Many of those sent back are Ukrainians. Others are non-Europeans, often from Asia and Africa, who have either claimed asylum in Poland – and therefore must remain there while their applications are processed – or have simply passed through it after entering the EU irregularly.
“After the introduction of this [proposed] law, Polish border guards will be able to prevent citizens of these countries from entering our territory,” said Błaszczak. “So those who are today being transferred from Germany by the German authorities, or who are trying to cross from Germany to the Polish side, will not be able to do so.”
The migrant returns carried out by Germany take place under a combination of EU regulations, bilateral agreements with Poland, and the border controls that Berlin reintroduced in 2023. Earlier this year, Tusk declared that Poland may stop adhering to such agreements.
However, some Poles have sought to take matters into their own hands, organising self-declared “citizen patrols” – some of them hundreds strong – at the German border to monitor and prevent migrant returns.
Błaszczak said that PiS politicians will be visiting the German border to make clear that “we support the border defence movement”, which he described as “Polish patriots who took matters into their own hands when Donald Tusk’s state abdicated [its responsibilities]”.
He also pledged that the party “will provide support to those who are persecuted by the current authorities of our country” for undertaking such actions, reports the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Earlier this week, Tusk and interior minister Tomasz Siemoniak criticised the actions of the citizen patrols, saying that they are disrupting the work of border officers and spreading false claims about the number and types of migrants being transferred by Germany.

Qué mal lo de eliminar el arbolado en las ciudades. No hay que tener muchas luces para saber que es el mejor mecanismo para reducir las temperaturas. Solo hay que darse cuenta del frescor que se nota cuando vas caminando por una zona de asfalto y hormigón y de repente te metes una zona con vegetación y árboles.
Pero esta gente que legisla desde sus despachos climatizados y vuelve a su chalet en coche oficial, no experimenta esto, ni intención que tiene.

Since we all know the Jewish groups on Campus (with Administration & Political help) that did all the "antisemitism" racket since the genocide started & we know everything else they are doing now.
What if I told you Jewish groups (primarily ones that support Jewish Nazism—open & closeted) in West have been doing the same shit since atleast 1960s?
Here is the article titled that talks about it from 1985
The Middle East On The U.S. Campus
Tactics: Have Jews/those willing to do their bidding, surveil soft power centers (ones that arent completely under the thumb of Jewish Nazis & one's that show any sympathy for Palestinians) who can influence public opinion
> monitor Christian publications, speakers, programs, etc., that take place in church meetings,
> United Nations and its agencies, on college campuses, in American churches, and among the country’s political leadership.
Ofcourse, same old tired "antisemitism" racket has been primarily designed to use both offensively & defensively, to neutralize anyone who opposes Jewish Nazism, Jewish Supremacy & Jewish Hegemony—use offensively,if one can get away with it, else, defensively, if it becomes difficult
Same exact techniques we saw from Jews in the 20 months are the same tactics deployed before too, against every group, using same exact "antisemitism" weapon.
