"Judaism is not Zionism, and those who argue they are one and the same are being fundamentally dishonest. Yet collectively, Jews are often held responsible when the world's only Jewish state claims to act in our name.
For many Jews in the diaspora, Israel was framed as a beacon of freedom, a place of refuge in the event of pogroms or genocide.
But what if the victims of the Nazi genocide are now perpetrating a genocide against the Palestinians?
The Jewish community is undergoing a long-overdue moral reckoning with its identity, role and responsibility. Only some are meeting the moment."

Challenging the Media Myth of Latino Machismo: Recognizing Feminist Strides in Latin America

By Roger D. Harris, Becca Renk, and John Perry  -  Jul 11, 2025 The struggle against machismo in Latin America cannot be separated from the broader struggle against imperialism. Patriarchy is alive and well throughout the world.

ليلى سويف تكسر إضرابها عن الطعام | مدى مصر

Laila Soueif ends her hunger strike following pleas from family and friends. Her health have deteriorated considerably after 10 months of alternating between complete and partial hunger strike, which led to multiple hospitalisations. Her son Alaa is still in prison and on a partial hunger strike as #Egypt is keeping him imprisoned beyond his sentence.

@Max Powers I think nobody really appreciates just how deep the swamp goes and it's not just limited to the United States, it involves Israel, Great Brittan, France, Germany, Canada, and their respective deep-state, er, intelligence agencies, and also some non-state third parties like the WEF, the UN, the WHO, it is to a swamp as an ordinary swamp is to the La Brea Tar Pits.

Fixed my Automatic Debian install script to handle btrfs snapshots better

It now creates the systemd-boot file so you can boot into a snapshot when your machine starts and deletes snapshots more than 5 days old. New snapshots are triggered when you apt install or apt remove.

Making Sense of the PKK’s Self-Dissolution

crimethinc.com/Jasna2025

On May 12, 2025, the PKK announced its dissolution after more than four decades of armed struggle against the Turkish government. On July 11, PKK fighters participated in a ceremony signifying disarmament. What will this mean for Kurdish movements for liberation and for the Middle East in general?

"It is not just the fate of an armed group at stake, but of a political project that has redefined the parameters of struggle throughout the region."

Animals react to secret sounds from plants, say scientists
bbc.com/news/articles/c8e4860n…

"Animals react to sounds being made by plants, new research suggests, opening up the possibility that an invisible ecosystem might exist between them.

In the first ever such evidence, a team at Tel Aviv University found that female moths avoided laying their eggs on tomato plants if they made noises they associated with distress, indicating that they may be unhealthy."

Cabin Comfort and Touchscreen Controls: The Hidden Cost of Self Concrete Mixer Operator Comfort

The gleaming new generation of [self loading mixer concrete](aimixconcretesolution.com/self…

) presents operators with spaceship-worthy cabins featuring orthopedic air-ride seats, multi-zone climate control, and panoramic digital displays. While these amenities dramatically improve working conditions, they introduce complex trade-offs that ripple through equipment budgets, maintenance schedules, and operational efficiency. Beneath the surface of these comfort upgrades lies a web of unintended consequences that savvy fleet managers must navigate to maintain profitability in an increasingly competitive market.

## The Illusion of Increased Productivity
Manufacturers often justify premium-priced comfort packages with promises of enhanced operator productivity. The reality reveals a more nuanced picture. While ergonomic improvements reduce fatigue during extended shifts, the **cognitive load** imposed by multilayer touchscreen interfaces actually slows decision-making in time-critical mixing operations. Studies of mixer crews in Qatar's extreme climates showed operators in basic cabins maintained 7% faster cycle times than those navigating complex control ecosystems.
![Maintenance on self loading mixer](287460)
Modern vibration-damped cabins isolate operators so effectively that they lose tactile feedback about mixture consistency—a sensory connection veteran drivers traditionally relied upon to adjust water content instinctively. Some European contractors now install supplemental vibration actuators in steering wheels to artificially restore this lost feedback channel, creating an ironic solution to an over-engineering problem.
## Maintenance Complexity Behind the Luxury Facade
That sleek 12-inch capacitive touchscreen represents a **single point of failure** more vulnerable to concrete dust infiltration than traditional tactile controls. Repair costs for climate control systems in [mini concrete mixer](aimixconcretesolution.com/conc…) cabins run 300% higher than standard HVAC units, with specialized particulate filters requiring replacement every 250 operating hours in dusty environments. The sealed, pressurized cabins that protect operators from external noise introduce new failure modes—a single damaged door gasket can disable the entire air filtration system.
Electro-hydraulic control systems underpinning these comfort features demand proprietary diagnostic tools unavailable at most rural job sites. A survey of Australian mining operations revealed that mixer downtime increased by 22% after adopting full-comfort models, primarily due to waiting periods for specialized technicians. The very systems designed to improve uptime through operator satisfaction ironically create new dependencies on manufacturer support networks.
![AS 4.0 Cement Mixer Self Loading Machine for Road Widden in El Salvador](287459)
## The Training Gap No One Anticipated
Transitioning veteran operators to these technologically advanced [concrete mixers South Africa](aimixconcretesolution.com/self…) requires surprisingly extensive retraining. The intuitive interfaces prove anything but instinctive for workers accustomed to mechanical levers and analog gauges. One Indonesian contractor documented a 40-hour learning curve before operators achieved their former efficiency levels—a hidden cost rarely factored into procurement decisions.
Younger operators drawn to the high-tech cabins often lack the **material science intuition** developed through years of hands-on mixing. The industry sees growing instances of perfect slump readings on digital displays coinciding with poor field performance, as operators become over-reliant on sensors rather than visual-tactile assessment. Some forward-thinking companies now run parallel training programs teaching both traditional judgment skills and new interface navigation.
The comfort revolution in mixer cabins isn't inherently misguided—it simply demands more thoughtful implementation. Smart fleets balance these upgrades with robust maintenance protocols and hybrid training approaches. Others opt for selectively equipped units, reserving full-comfort models for extreme environments while maintaining simpler machines for routine operations. The most successful operators recognize that true efficiency comes not from chasing every available comfort feature, but from strategically integrating enhancements that genuinely improve outcomes without introducing unsustainable overhead.
