The #Handala is carrying aid for #Gaza, within the limits of its modest possibilities. The civilians on board are unarmed.

It is likely that the ship will be illegally hijacked tonight, in international waters, or even attacked, like its predecessor, the #Madleen – also part of the #FreedomFlotilla.

What kind of state starves civilians in #Gaza, and fights small ships carrying a pitiful amount of food and medical supplies?

#Israel does not fight those ships, it fights the tiny bit of remaining humanity they stand for.

You can choose whether you want to stand with such merciless desire to destroy, and possibly the inconsequential consternation expressed by your government. I suggest you speak up, instead.

SHOCK: Israel Has Killed 20.7% of Gaza's Population. That's 434,000 People.

stevendonziger.substack.com/p/…

"...First, the prestigious British medical journal #TheLancet conservatively estimated in a peer-reviewed analysis that as of 19 June 2024 roughly 186,000 Gazans had died from “direct” and “indirect” deaths since 8 October 2023.

That article and an explanation of the statistical model used is here.
To be clear, “direct” deaths under the model are caused by the Israeli military; “indirect” deaths are caused by a lack of access to food, water, and medical care (all largely denied by Israel to Gaza) and by disease...."

The larger issue is we need to think about what the scale of death means in terms of the human tragedy, and the extent of the legal impunity obtained thus far by #Netanyahu and his fascist government.

After over a year and a half of ignoring the Palestinian Holocaust and bashing pro-Palestine protesters, Hillary Clinton has finally decided to start pretending to have a conscience.

It is good that those in power are finally beginning to acknowledge what we have known for years; it means that we are strong and that our movement demands recognition. But don't mistake it for anything but soulless politicians doing what soulless politicians do best. Save your praise for those who opposed genocide before it was convenient for them to do so.

🇫🇷 Le Général #deGaulle sur le conflit #Israël / #Palestine :

« **Je voudrais que les Français, dans cette affaire, voient leur intérêt national avant tout. Quand nous avons prôné la modération, les Arabes nous ont écoutés. Pas les Israéliens, que nous avions pourtant prévenus contre les succès militaires initiaux que leur assuraient leur armement, leur expérience, leur cohésion et leur situation sur le terrain. J'avais mis en garde Abba Eban avec la plus grande netteté dans notre entretien du 24 mai.

Aujourd'hui, le fait de leur victoire est là. Mais nous ne pouvons admettre d'entériner des conquêtes territoriales. Les Israéliens ne voudront lâcher ni Gaza, ni Charm-el-Cheikh, ni les étendues du Sinaï, ni les rives du Jourdain, ni les hauteurs du Golan. Or les Arabes ne peuvent accepter ces conquêtes. Il y a donc un armistice, mais pas la paix.

Le spectacle des réfugiés arabes mourant de soif et sans recours est tragique. Il y a un vrai ghetto arabe à #Gaza. Les conséquences morales et politiques du drame pèseront lourd.

Quant à la suite, nous n'avons aucune raison de prendre parti, quels que soient les sentiments. On ne recouvrera pas la paix avant très longtemps, car ce n'est pas avant très longtemps que les États en cause se rapprocheront. Les Israéliens n'ont rien à nous demander et nous n'avons rien à leur donner. Nous nous efforcerons en revanche, dans la mesure convenable, de secourir les Arabes moralement et de garder leur confiance péniblement recouvrée.

Alors, il y a l'opinion française ! Elle ne nous encourage pas ! Ce n'est pas nouveau. Quand une question de politique internationale grave est en cause, jamais les Français n'ont vu juste pour commencer. Mais on ne fait pas une politique en suivant l'opinion publique. L'opinion finit toujours par se rallier à une #politique, à condition qu'elle soit bonne.** »

Famine en Palestine. Plus de 400 000 personnes sont mortes


Par Moon of Alabama – Le 25 juillet 2025

Les colons fanatiques de l’entité sioniste sont devenus un danger pour tous les autres peuples. Ils doivent être dispersés.

Gaza a dépassé le point de basculement vers la famine :

  • Une fois ce point de basculement franchi, les famines ont tendance à suivre un schéma catastrophique d’auto-renforcement, qui est déjà visible à Gaza. Un lent glissement vers la mort cède la place à une mortalité massive rapide à mesure que les organes tombent en panne, que le système immunitaire s’effondre et que les victimes perdent la volonté de continuer. Une fois que la famine commence, les décès ont tendance à augmenter de façon exponentielle, ce qui signifie qu’en attendant la confirmation que la ligne technique a été franchie pour prendre des mesures correctives, des milliers de personnes – en particulier de jeunes enfants – pourraient être condamnées à mort.

Si rien n’est fait, il y aura, non seulement des milliers, mais plusieurs centaines de milliers de morts à Gaza.

Je me sens honteux de vivre dans un pays « occidental » où le gouvernement revendique une supériorité morale mais refuse de faire quoi que ce soit à ce sujet.

Ajouté :

En février, Trump a déclaré qu’il restait 1,8 million de personnes à Gaza.

Je titrais :

  • Trump veut s’emparer de Gaza et annonce 500 000 morts
  • En 2023, le dénombrement de la population de Gaza par le Bureau central palestinien des statistiques, reconnu internationalement, s’élevait à 2 226 544 habitants. Trump veut retirer tous les Palestiniens de Gaza et donne leur nombre comme étant 1,7 ou 1,8 millions de personnes :
  • « Journaliste : Selon vous, combien de personnes doivent quitter Gaza ?
  • Trump: Tous. Probablement un million sept, peut-être un million huit. Ils seront installés dans des zones où ils pourront vivre une belle vie. (vidéo) »
  • C’est une reconnaissance, par le président des États-Unis, que les sionistes génocidaires ont assassiné jusqu’à 500 000 personnes à Gaza.

Les calculs de Steven Donziger confirment maintenant cette fourchette.

  • CHOC : Israël a tué 20,7% de la population de Gaza. Ça fait 434 000 personnes. – Donziger on justice, 22 juillet 2025
  • Voici les dernières données, mises à jour hier (21 juillet) : sur la base d’un modèle statistique développé par une prestigieuse revue médicale appelée The Lancet, Israël a tué environ 434 800 personnes à Gaza depuis que l’armée du pays a commencé à attaquer le territoire le 8 octobre 2023. Cela représente 20,7% de la population totale de Gaza avant le conflit. Plus de la moitié sont des femmes et des enfants.
  • Si le même niveau de meurtres et de morts indirectes qui ont eu lieu à Gaza pendant les 594 jours du conflit s’était produit aux États-Unis proportionnellement à la population, environ 70 millions d’Américains auraient été tués.

'Israel attacked the Cairo Elementary School for Girls in central Gaza City just as people had gathered in the school yard for Friday prayers, according to multiple eyewitnesses. Many of the displaced in the school are from areas in northern Beit Hanoun, which has been nearly completely destroyed and emptied by the Israeli military. So far, Israel has not published even a perfunctory justification for the strike and the Israeli military did not immediately respond to questions submitted by Drop Site about the attack.

“During Friday prayers, they bombed the school with the worshippers inside,” Ibrahim Abu Amsh, an eyewitness told Drop Site at the scene. “Most of the injured were children—defenseless, hungry children. All of them were in a state of exhaustion, unable even to stand—they probably hadn’t slept all night due to hunger.”

Dead bodies lay in the hallways, some ripped apart and limbs torn off. People fled the building in panic carrying children and few belongings. Blood covered the walls and floors. People lifted the dead and wounded, some badly burnt, to ambulances outside using blankets. At least one baby was among the dead, with the left side of its body blown off and flesh torn apart, being carried outside by emergency medical worker Omar Abu Mohsen.

“The school is full of displaced people—full of children, of women, of men, and of the elderly. The enemy is merciless,” Abu Mohsen said. “This is an enemy that seeks the extermination of the Palestinian people.”

“Isn't it enough that they’ve starved us to death? Isn't it enough that they’ve slaughtered us?” Zainab Adwan, who was displaced from Beit Hanoun and sheltering at the school, said. “The Israelis can’t confront the resistance. If they were real men, they would go face the resistance fighters at the borders. There are no fighters here. Where are the resistance fighters? These are just civilians.”

Israel’s continued military assault on Gaza kills scores of Palestinians across the enclave on a daily basis. At least 89 were killed over the past 24 hours, according to the ministry of health. This follows 89 killed on Thursday. 113 on Wednesday. 77 on Tuesday. 134 on Monday.

Friday’s attack came as Israel’s campaign of forced starvation in Gaza has reached a tipping point into rapidly increasing cases of death. Over the past five days alone, at least 54 Palestinians have died, including over 20 children, as a result of starvation and malnutrition, according to the Ministry of Health. The widening famine is affecting the entire population in Gaza. People are arriving at emergency rooms in a state of exhaustion, hunger and dehydration. Doctors and journalists who care and report on the famine are themselves weakened and struggling to work. Hospitals have run out of key treatments and medicines to urgently treat the ballooning cases of malnutrition.

Remnants of the munition photographed at the scene of the Cairo Elementary School for Girls attack were identified as the rocket motor portion of a U.S.-manufactured Hellfire missile, according to a weapons expert who reviewed the footage.

“The lot number indicates it was made by Lockheed Martin in 2012,” Trevor Ball, a munitions researcher and a former U.S. army explosive ordnance disposal specialist, told Drop Site, who added that the specific designation was AGM-114K-2. “It is a precision weapon so it would hit where aimed unless there was a malfunction of some kind,” Ball said. “This specific variant features a fragmentation sleeve which increases the fragmentation generated by the munition to more effectively kill or injure people in its area of effect.”'

La infancia ha sido la gran perdedora de las últimas décadas en tanto a la construcción de la ciudad. No es que previamente se les diese una escuadra y un cartabón y se les permitiese trazar las vías principales de un barrio, pero sin lugar a dudas contaban con espacios que reclamar y hacer suyos, en ocasiones plazas y calles enteras. Hasta hace no muchas generaciones, era frecuente que los niños ocupasen espacios públicos comunes como calles para jugar a la comba o a la rayuela, o con una pelota. También era normal caminar por el centro de lo que ahora es la calzada o hacer uso de esta para avanzar en cualquier dirección (deambular incluido) montados encima de bicicletas.
in reply to Marcos M. 🚲 🇵🇸

La generación de mis abuelos tuvo total autonomía infantil, pudiendo conformar el espacio a su alrededor en base al uso que le daba cuando eran pequeños. Nadie discutía la posiblidad de que un chaval usase la calle para jugar, caminar, montar en bicicleta, hacer recados, aburrirse, sentarse sin más. La de mi padre y mi madre lo tuvo bastante más difícil, al haberse conformado estrechas aceras que restringían el juego. Yo no recuerdo jugar en la calle antes de los 13 años, y lo hacía en lugares notablemente deprimentes como plazas estrechas rodeadas de vehículos estacionados. La generación de mi sobrina lo tiene aún peor: el juego infantil ha sido acordonado con barreras físicas que indican rango de edad y modo de juego, se ha segmentado la ciudad de forma que solo se permite el juego en espacios enclaustrados con actividades predefinidas y no compartidas con otras edades.

In the field of cybersecurity, a distinction is made between the "blue team" task of building a secure system, and the "red team" task of locating vulnerabilities in such systems. The blue team is more obviously necessary to create the desired product; but the red team is just as essential, given the damage that can result from deploying insecure systems.

The nature of these teams mirror each other; mathematicians would call them "dual". The output of a blue team is only as strong as its weakest link: a security system that consists of a strong component and a weak component (e.g., a house with a securely locked door, but an open window) will be insecure (and in fact worse, because the strong component may convey a false sense of security). Dually, the contributions to a red team can often be additive: a red team report that contains both a serious vulnerability and a more trivial one is more useful than a report that only contains the serious issue, as it is valuable to have the blue team address both vulnerabilities. (But excessive low-quality reports can dilute attention from critical issues.)

Because of this, unreliable contributors may be more useful in the "red team" side of a project than the "blue team" side, though the blue team can still accommodate such contributors provided that the red team is competent enough to catch almost all of the errors that the contributor to the blue team might make. Also, unreliable red team contributions only add value if they _augment_ the output of more reliable members of that team, rather than _replace_ that output, and if their output can be effectively filtered or triaged by more experienced red team members. (1/3)

in reply to Terence Tao

The blue team / red team distinction extends beyond cybersecurity to many other disciplines as well. In software engineering, for instance, "blue teaming" might correspond to the generation of new computer code, while "red teaming" would consist of such tasks as quality assurance and testing of such code. In mathematics, "blue teaming" could involve coming up with speculative ideas to solve a math problem, while "red teaming" checks the arguments for formal errors, and also raises heuristic objections to a blue team approach being viable. (See also my discussion about "local" and "global" errors in mathematics at terrytao.wordpress.com/advice-… ).

I like to refer to these two teams in mathematics as the "optimists" and "pessimists"; in my experience, the strongest collaborations arise when there is a roughly equal split between the optimists and pessimists in the collaborations. (Depending on the collaboration, I myself have sometimes played the optimist, sometimes the pessimist, and sometimes a mixture of both.) (2/3)

"Never again" once said the democratic citizens of Europe.. "Never again" is now. All of us, as German citizens of the Third Reich, we are watching from our comfortable sofas yet another genocide.

Μany will say "I knew nothing" and of course they will lie.

History will write that the common people "resisted fascism" but history, as always, as then, will lie. It will simply transfer the actions of a few brave people to the entire population so that the middle class does not feel uncomfortable.

And life goes on. Gaza will be forgotten, it will fade into memory like a distant dream, just like the Holocaust. Until the next genocide, we will say "never again"
