How do people feel about this kind of thing? Shooting down transphobes is good, obviously, but doesn't the tool of defamation suits concede that it would be a bad thing if it were true? “I'm not, but so what if I were?" is a valid and principled reaction in private life, but doesn't help shutting them up in public…

Israël repousse chaque jour les limites de l'horreur à Gaza.

La population n'est plus seulement massacrée et affamée, elle est désormais assoiffée par une armée qui empêche même l'accès à la mer.

Les journalistes n'y échappent pas : plus de 200 ont déjà été tués, et ceux de l'AFP risquent de connaître le même sort.

Que fait la France face à ce génocide ?

Lettre d'informations de #StandingTogether

mailchi.mp/standing-together/w…

Mardi soir (2025-07-22) à Tel Aviv, plus d'un millier d'entre nous ont marché avec des sacs de farine à la main, lors d'une manifestation d'urgence que nous avons organisée contre la campagne de famine du gouvernement israélien à Gaza.

Nous avons marché parce que nous ne pouvons pas rester silencieux pendant que la nourriture est refusée à des millions de personnes.

Nous ne pouvons pas continuer à vivre normalement pendant que les otages sont abandonnés et que Gaza est effacée.

Nous sommes incrédules face à ce que fait notre gouvernement.

Nous sommes écœurés par les images qui inondent nos téléphones chaque jour : des enfants squelettiques gisant immobiles dans des lits d'hôpitaux surpeuplés, des familles faisant bouillir des herbes pour le dîner, des mères essayant de calmer des bébés qui n'ont pas eu de lait depuis des semaines, et des enfants fouillant les ordures juste pour trouver un morceau de nourriture.

Ce ne sont pas des images lointaines d'une crise humanitaire.

Ces gens sont nos voisins.

Ils sont à une heure de nous, juste de l'autre côté de la clôture.

Alors que nous suivons une routine quotidienne qui ressemble encore à une vie normale, ils vivent et meurent dans une réalité qui a été conçue pour les détruire.

Il n'y a eu aucune couverture de la famine massive à Gaza dans les médias israéliens, et c'est exactement pourquoi nous agissons davantage.

Jeudi 2025-07-17, nous étions devant la chaîne 12 pour exiger qu'ils brisent le silence.

Ce matin, nous avons lancé une campagne WhatsApp. Nos militants ont envoyé plus de 700 messages directement aux journalistes israéliens, les exhortant à rapporter la vérité.

Ce soir, nous manifestons devant les studios de la chaîne 11 (Kan) à Jérusalem, exigeant qu'ils brisent le silence.

Il n'y a aucun moyen de justifier la famine massive.

Il n'y a aucun cadre moral, aucune version de la sécurité, qui puisse expliquer ces morts et exiger d'affamer des millions de personnes.

Et c'est exactement pourquoi nous sommes dans les rues.

Parce que quand ils appellent aux horreurs, nous répondons en nous organisant.

Nous devenons plus forts face à la brutalité parce que nous savons qu'il y a une autre voie à suivre.

Il y a un moyen de renvoyer ce gouvernement raciste et messianique chez lui : en construisant le pouvoir par le bas, en tant que nouvelle majorité de Palestiniens et de Juifs qui refusent de s'abandonner les uns les autres ou d'abandonner cette terre.

Nous n'arrêterons pas de nous battre.

Nous ne permettrons pas à ce gouvernement de nous réduire au silence.

Nous continuerons à nous mobiliser et à descendre dans les rues encore et encore jusqu'à ce que les crimes de guerre prennent fin.

Nous arrêterons cette guerre, nous ramènerons les otages à la maison et nous construirons un avenir enraciné dans la paix et la dignité.

En solidarité,
Standing Together

# English version

Yesterday (2025-07-22) in Tel Aviv, over a thousand of us marched with sacks of flour in our hands, in an emergency protest that we organized against the Israeli government’s starvation campaign in Gaza.

We marched because we cannot remain silent while food is withheld from millions. We cannot go on with life as usual while the hostages are abandoned and Gaza is erased.

We are in disbelief of what our government is doing. We are sickened by the images flooding our phones every day of skeleton children lying motionless in overcrowded hospital beds, of families boiling weeds for dinner, of mothers trying to soothe babies who haven’t had milk in weeks, and of children digging through garbage just to find a scrap of food.

These are not distant images from a humanitarian crisis. These people are our neighbors. They are one hour away from us, just across the fence. While we move through a daily routine that still resembles normal life, they are living and dying in a reality that has been engineered to destroy them.

There has been no coverage of the mass starvation in Gaza in Israeli media, and that’s exactly why we’re taking more action. Last Thursday, we were outside Channel 12 demanding they break the silence. This morning, we launched a WhatsApp campaign. Our activists sent over 700 messages directly to Israeli journalists urging them to report the truth. Tonight, we’re protesting outside the Channel 11 (Kan) studios in Jerusalem, demanding they break the silence.

There is no way to justify mass starvation. There is no moral framework, no version of security, that can explain away these deaths and requires starving millions. And that is exactly why we are in the streets.

Because when they call for the horrors, we respond by organizing. We grow stronger in the face of brutality because we know there is another way forward. There is a way to send this racist, messianic government home: by building power from below, as a new majority of Palestinians and Jews who refuse to give up on each other or on this land.

We will not stop fighting. We will not allow this government to silence us. We will continue to mobilize, and to take the streets again and again until the war crimes come to an end.

We will stop this war, we will bring the hostages home and we will build a future rooted in peace and dignity.

In Solidarity,
Standing Together

This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. The deliberate obstruction of aid causing starvation is a blatant violation of human rights. We need immediate and unfettered access for humanitarian assistance. Speaking of navigating tough situations, I could really use the skills from Moto X3M right now to cut through all the red tape and get aid where it's desperately needed. International pressure is crucial!

Wäre das eigentlich nicht ein interessanter Ansatz, z.B. für ein MdB? Eine Anfrage, warum Deutschland noch nicht interveniert hat, wäre unangreifbar, da sie ja genau so gut staatsräsonistischer Empörung über diese Unterlassung entspringen könnte. Und dann auf die Veröffentlichung der internen Rechtsgutachten pochen, die dem Nichteingreifen zugrunde liegen (und in denen dann schwarz auf weiß steht, dass Israels Vorgehen buchstäblich nicht zu verteidigen ist)…

Iran Calls for Action amid Worsening Humanitarian Suffering in Gaza tn.ai/3360377

Since Microsoft is organising a European Sovereign Tech Fund, we should ask Lockheed Martin to put together a European Sovereign Defense Fund. There’s probably also opportunity here to bring Amazon in to advise on EU labour standards and have McDonald’s take the lead on food safety policy in the EU.

Seas Le Kneecap


Kneecap performed their Coachella sets in front of a large screen onto which messages were projected, including denunciation of the Israeli “genocide” of Palestinians “enabled” by the US (Rolling Stone).

Many cancelled gigs followed, as well as a call from Sharon Osbourne that the band’s work visas be revoked (BBC). In response, Kneecap insisted that their speech was not an incitement to violence (BBC).

The band’s visas might also be in jeopardy because the band has parted ways with booking agents IAG, which sponsored the band’s US tour (Hollywood Reporter).

Further, scrutiny of past performances revealed pro-Hamas and -Hizbollah chants, which have now led to an investigation by the UK’s anti-terror police (NME). The band also apologized for a 2023 remark that “the only good Tory [Conservative MP] is a dead Tory” (BBC).

Many artists and bands have come out in support of Kneecap – about 40 put their names to a statement posted to instagram. The band also has the support of the graffitist in the image above: “Free Palestine – silence = complicity. Seas le Kneecap [stand with Kneecap]”.

The Glúıne Caıpín (Caıpín Glúıne/Kneecap/Ní cheapaım) chocolate bar (below) was purchased in a Castle Street newsagents.

IOF


“Death, death to the IOF” – Lasaır Dhearg [web]” – that is, the Israeli Occupation Forces (as an alternative name for the “Israeli Defense Force”) in Gaza.

Palestinian deaths in Gaza now number about 60,000 (Al Jazeera) and reports that people are dying from starvation – about 100 so far (Al Jazeera) – and 1,000 more killed while seeking aid (NPR).

Israeli Forces Kidnap Palestinian Health Spokesman eir.news/2025/07/news/israeli-…
in reply to Hackaday (unofficial)

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.

With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.

We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.

Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.

Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.

Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.

Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.

The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.

Your profit:

You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.

You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars.

That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 9 months.

If you like this project and want to loan us money, message me on WhatsApp or Telegram for more details.

If our project is suitable for you and you would like to lend money to our holding, send a message to my WhatsApp number or Telegram username below and I will give you detailed information.

We do need a European Sovereign Tech Fund, yes.

What we don’t need is Microsoft – a trillion-dollar surveillance capitalist from the US that peddles proprietary technology and is helping Israel carry out its genocide of the Palestinian people as we speak – having anything whatsoever to do with it.

Rigged thermometers, erased memory: How we create artificial global warming en.reseauinternational.net/the…

I am now being required by my day job to use an AI assistant to write code. I have also been informed that my usage of AI assistants will be monitored and decisions about my career will be based on those metrics.

I gave it an honest shot today, using it as responsibly as I know how: only use it for stuff I already know how to do, so that I can easily verify its output. That part went ok, though I found it much harder to context switch between thinking about code structure and trying to herd a bullshit generator into writing correct code.

One thing I didn't expect, though, is how fucking disruptive it's suggestion feature would be. It's like trying to compose a symphony while someone is relentlessly playing a kazoo in your ear. It flustered me really quickly, to the point where I wasn't able to figure out how to turn that "feature" off. I'm noticing physical symptoms of an anxiety attack as a result.

I stopped work early when I noticed I was completely spent. I don't know if I wrote more code today than I would have normally. I don't think I wrote better code, as the vigilance required is extremely hard for my particular brand of neurospicy to maintain.

As far as the "write this function for me" aspect, I've noticed that I tend to use the mental downtime of typing out a function I've designed to let my brain percolate on the solution and internalize it so I have it in my working memory. This doesn't happen when I'm simply reviewing code written by something else. Reviewing code and writing it are completely separate activities for me. But there's nothing to keep my fingers and thoughts busy while I'm coming up with what to write next.

I didn't think we were meant to live like this.

@pkw If I were in a position to quit, it'd be a lot easier to deal with.

I wouldn't call you a Luddite. I'm actively trying to reduce tech debt (in fact, that's my current assigned task), but the "you gotta use AI" edict is company-wide. So I'm writing code to analyze code to convert it from NotInventedHereLang into something that we can actually put on a job description.

You know, assuming we ever hire anyone.

in reply to anonymiss

@anonymiss A criticism is not a critique. In order for a critique to mean anything it has to have a foundation. To build a foundation requires an approach to approaches. To want to do anything requires feelings, unless one is a robot.

You are not a robot, so you have feelings. The practical is actually pure reason, only in reverse.
We are people without a foundation, and so our critiques are replaced with criticisms.
Because so many people are walking around with purity on the outstretched hand
and a practical slice of cake sliding down the gullet.
Endless criticism on the assumption of purity of values
leads to emotional actions, which lead to one of two options:
divided and conquered or fighting and divided.

But where is the purity?
I say we need an approach to approaches,
not to run away, but also not to take lightly.

Lightness is for non-anonymity,
for the reality of the impure
which is where our purity can shine
having so many more senses
than the propositional purity of words.

I seek the middle way.
In lieu of a foundation, we can begin building one here.
An online sanga is already there 😀

For me, this is always what #hashtags were for.
There's always more room for a critique, but the friendships we build along the way define this world's sphere of values.
And as long as that sphere is just a slop mediated by media companies, we will never be able to build, for we lack a foundation which reflects us: otherwise our words mean very little, just reflecting our lack of developed senses in the real world.

We can begin by asking, what do real friends need to be friends?
Then we can ask, how can we provide people with the means to be friends?
And finally we can enjoy the social network...
But until and unless we have a shared foundation with robust terms...
I'm afraid it will be endless criticism because no one is bothered to form a(nother) critique.

I don't often quote Counterfire, but:

"Britain has many options for acting, such as:

* Supporting and enforcing the International Court of Justice rulings against Netanyahu and other Israeli ministers.
* Expelling Israeli diplomats.
* Inviting Israeli opposition leaders to meet with Britain and other countries to draw up a peace proposal.
...
* Calling a summit with EU member states to impose sanctions on Israel"

Letter From Jakhi McCray to the Movement


It has been one month since the NYPD and the U.S. government came after me, accusing me of setting fire to police vehicles belonging to the 83rd precinct in Brooklyn. According to them, $800,000 worth of damage was done and the charred remains of the vehicles represented a direct attack on the police.

Today, July 21st, I walked into the 83rd precinct and turned myself in.

There’s a real chance that I won’t see the outside of a cell for years, but I make this choice clear of mind and, in a naive way, hopeful. It’s a hope that comes from feeling loved and supported by my friends, my family, and my comrades that have rallied in support of me in wake of the accusations. It’s a feeling that I cherish and will hold on to in the, now uncertain timeline of my life.

I’m 21 years old and I know it’s normal to be unsure about life and the world, but I want to thank you -whether l know you or you’re just meeting me for the first time now- forgiving me some comfort in all this.

My charge comes with a minimum sentence of five years and a maximum of 20. The federal government has labeled me “armed and dangerous” and blasted a $30,000 bounty for my capture, which Zionist and white supremacist news outlets have happily supported in their racist doxxing and smear campaign against me.

My home has been raided alongside two other addresses in New York City, and my little siblings had assault rifles brandished at them as they were harassed and forced outside.

I’m not, nor was I ever, scared. This scare tactic is nothing compared to other black people that are beaten and/or murdered, and their names being dragged through the mud as the media does damage control for the officers that did it. It’s not new to Palestinians and Arabs that are being assassinated, deported, and harassed. I’ve met immigrants that live under daily paranoia, not knowing whether or not ICE goons will bust through their doors and kidnap their families.

I’ve been arrested 12 times before this, and doxxed and lied about by fascist press and police officers alike. I’ve seen friends and comrades lose relationships, homes, and jobs because of their refusal to be responsible for the genocide in Palestine and the kidnapping of migrants.

The SCC61, the CUNY8, the Prarieland1 1, the 2020 prsioners, Tarek Barzouk, Leqaa Kordia-all just a few current examples of the the government’s attempt to regain control. The use of COINTELPRO and its domestic warfare campaign that left hundreds of dead and imprisoned revolutionaries throughout the 20th century and now has caused a memory crater in our movement, where we don’t know to how to handle the brutality of State repression.

Repression is the State trying to call our bluff. It is intense because it shows itself when our potential to disrupt genocides and capital becomes too grand to ignore. Millions of people, whether they consider themselves revolutionaries or not, that participated in the encampments, the anti-ICE street rebellions, and the George Floyd Uprising have helped create a social crisis in the last five years that continues to bring in millions more and fuel the need for liberation.

The constant effort it takes the State to oppress us is not manageable. It is already breaking, with the funding and hiring disasters in federal agencies, the infighting between the Trump administration and his base, and the complete political catastrophe over Israel.

The harshness of the State’s eye on our movement is nothing more than a defensive reaction, a mask from their fear. This is as much of a make or break moment for them as it is for us. If we come out of this with our solidarity and our infrastructure intact, it is a monumental win for our communities and a devastation to our enemies.

Our greatest strength is each other-that we are not just coworkers maintaining appearances for the duration of a shift. We are comrades, and with that comes a promise to love, defend, and fight for one another. Because you are my comrades, I hold this promise towards all of you.

I don’t know what will happen now, but I do know that I will never stop fighting and I will do my best wherever I find myself to be.

With love and solidarity, Jakhi

Wäre das in D schon denkbar, oder ist AT da einen Schritt voraus?


Das Töten, Aushungern und die in Kauf genommene, wenn nicht gar gewollte systematische Vernichtung der Lebensgrundlage der palästinensischen Bevölkerung müsse sofort gestoppt werden, forderte der Bischof. Jedes Schweigen und jedes Wegschauen sowie die Kriminalisierung von Solidaritätskundgebungen seien ein Verrat an unserer Menschlichkeit.

Ja, er ist voraus.
#tagesschau meldet heute früh:
"Das Zentralkomitee der deutschen Katholiken (ZdK) hat die Bundesregierung erneut aufgefordert, sich in Gaza für die uneingeschränkte Einhaltung des Völkerrechts durch alle Konfliktparteien und die Vermittlung eines dauerhaften Waffenstillstands einzusetzen. Auch müsse die Blockade von humanitären Hilfsleistungen unverzüglich aufgehoben werden, sagte ZdK-Präsidentin Irme Stetter-Karp dem Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (Donnerstag).
