PIERROT LE FOU is, in my opinion, good. letterboxd.com/andrewmoxon/...

A ★★★★ review of Pierrot le Fo...

Die "Luftbrücke" hat über #Gaza bisher Material mit dem Gesamtgewicht von dreieinhalb (!) LKW-Ladungen abgeworfen.

Das ist das einzig Konkrete, zu dem sich die @Bundesregierung bisher durchringen konnte, ansonsten nur Floskeln und "Forderungen" ohne jedwede Sanktionen.

»Seit vergangener Woche kommen nach Angaben aus deutschen Sicherheitskreisen täglich 220 Lastwagen mit Hilfsgütern in das Gebiet. […]

Der Mehlpreis liege bei horrenden 80 Euro pro Kilogramm. Aus der Luft seien bisher 73 Tonnen an Hilfsgütern abgeworfen worden.

Diese Mengen reichen nach Einschätzung von Hilfsorganisationen bei Weitem nicht aus. Vor dem 7. Oktober 2023 kamen nach Angaben der Organisation Medico International zwischen 500 bis 600 Lastwagen täglich in den Gazastreifen. Eine Lkw-Ladung habe meist etwa 20 Tonnen Hilfsgüter umfasst. Der Bedarf dürfte durch die massive Zerstörung der Infrastruktur und landwirtschaftlichen Flächen nun deutlich höher liegen.«

Disappearances, torture rampant in IOF prisons, harrowing figures show

A UN-accredited group has submitted damning evidence of systematic torture, forced starvation, and sexual violence against Palestinians in secret Israeli detention camps.

The Kafkaesque proscription of Palestine Action continues to catch protestors in its claws... here a an ex-magistrate.

Yvette Cooper may (or may not) have thought she was pushing through a focussed limitation, but police forces across the country have decided to interpret it much more widely & thereby make a concerted attack on peaceful protest.

Cooper cannot just throw up her hands, she's to blame & could stop it!

Will she, though? Of course not!

The brutal summer heat, coupled with a lack of rainfall in key farming areas, dealt a serious threat to this year’s rice crop.

The prospect of another round of surging rice prices now seems all but inevitable.

It was the hottest July on record, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency on Aug. 1. It said average temperatures around Japan were 2.89 degrees higher than normal.

Ένας φίλος πρόσφατα μετακόμισε σε νέα πόλη αγόρασε σπίτι και έβαλε φωτοβολταϊκό αυτόνομο σύστημα για τις ανάγκες του σπιτιού αξίας 10000 ευρώ
Του επέστρεψαν τα 8500 ευρώ από το υπουργείο περιβάλλοντος και 1000 ευρώ από τον δήμο, οπότε ξόδεψε μόνο 500 ευρώ για όλη την εγκατάσταση, με κόστος για ρεύμα ούτε 10 ευρώ τον μήνα
Που όλα αυτά?
Όχι φυσικά στην Ελλάδα 2.0 της καταπληκτικής κυβέρνησης αλλά στην Ισπανία και για την ακρίβεια στην περιοχή της Ανδαλουσίας

(Some people may find the image disturbing and rather not see and ignore the ongoing genocide).

It is not AI, it is not genetic dsorder, it is not from Yemen, it is yet another Palestinian child fading away because of the Israeli imposed famine in Gaza.

For #Gaza’s 2.2 million residents, the UN-backed confirmation that famine is now a reality came not as a revelation but as a cruel validation of what they have lived for months: a slow, visible collapse into starvation.

“All my children have lost nearly half of their body weight,” Jamil Mughari, 38, from Maghazi in central Gaza, told The Guardian. “My daughter, who is five years old, now weighs only 11kg. My son Mohammad has become just skin and bones. All my children are like this.”

As Labour get serious about the development of a national digital ID, a couple of Q.s immediately occur:

Can the Govt, really successfully helm an important IT project whose hiccups could be incredibly disadvantageous for any failed by the system?

Will such a system effectively make ownership of a smartphone mandatory?

Will the UK Govt. be prepared to learn from ID practices across Europe or is it going to be another case of the UK reinventing the wheel?

@pthane I think a lot of countries have these since longtime - like Germany. But they are not issued for free, btw., and much to my chagrin they started to include fingerprints and other not so safe features. The old ID cards were quite ok and accepted everywhere (although nothing is without problems). Germany has also big databases since ever - like, you are required to register where you live and this is easily researchable.

Για να αποκτήσεις ταυτότητα, ως έθνος, λαός, επαγγελματική ομάδα, άτομο ή τόπος, ακόμα και σαν προϊόν, πρέπει να έχεις μια χώρα ισχυρή με σωστό προσανατολισμό και σχέδιο. Και με αξιοκρατία και πρωτοτυπία.
Εδώ, όλα έχουν καταπατηθεί, στρεβλωθεί, ξεφτιλιστεί. Εδώ, ο τόπος, άνθρωποι και φύση, υφίσταται ακατάσχετη υποβάθμιση και λεηλασία.

180 IDF soldiers illegally and without notifying authorities, tried to invade #Auschwitz with israeli flags, to organize an "event"...
Luckily the guard stopped them before they desecrate the memorial

These genocidal beasts have nothing in common with #Holocaust survivors and the Jews of that time. They should be banned from entering any memorial, if not arrested for #Gaza #Genocide war crimes, rapings, shooting, looting, famine

disroot.org provides a few services, including Akkoma, which is a server that is fully compatible with Mastodon (I am using it to send this message to you). The character limit on their Akkoma is indeed 5000 characters. And as far as I know, they are not opposed to anti-holocaust protests.

They also provide you an e-mail address, XMPP chat, D-Scribe (Lemmy), NextCloud, and PasteBin.

Les quatre principaux journaux israéliens publient en première page la photo d’un prisonnier israélien affamé à Gaza !
Nous, le peuple de Gaza, avons faim et nous sommes devenus des squelettes, tout comme ce prisonnier israélien !
Nous mangeons les lentilles dont parle le prisonnier israélien dans la vidéo.
Le gouvernement israélien est le principal responsable de notre faim et de celle des prisonniers israéliens.

L’histoire est truffée d’exemples illustrant l’inanité de la critique.
Ainsi, voyez le scandale du pétrole à Teapot Dome. Pendant
plusieurs années, les journaux frémirent d’indignation. Jamais de
mémoire d’homme, on n’avait vu pareille chose en Amérique. Voici
les faits : Albert Fali, ministre de l’Intérieur sous le gouvernement
du président Harding, fut chargé de louer les terrains pétrolifères
du gouvernement à Elk Hill et à Teapot Dome, terrains destinés
ultérieurement à l’usage de la marine. Au lieu de procéder par voie
d’adjudication, Fali remit directe ment l’opulent contrat à son ami
Edward Doheny. Et que fit à son tour Doheny ? Il donna au
ministre Fall ce qu’il lui plut d’appeler «un prêt» de cent mille
dollars. Ensuite, Fail expédia un détachement de soldats
américains dans cette région pétrolifère pour en chasser les
concurrents dont les puits adjacents tiraient le pétrole des
réserves de Elk Hill. Ces concurrents, expulsés à la pointe des
baïonnettes, se ruèrent devant les tribunaux et ‘<firent éclater le
scandale de Teapot Dome ». Le scandale ainsi révélé ruina
l’administration de Harding, écoeura une nation entière, faillit
briser le parti républicain et amena Albert B. Fali derrière les
barreaux d’une prison
.

Officially recognizing the State of #Palestine , as some Western countries now promise to do, will not do anything against the #genocide in #Gaza and the rest of Palestine. But it would be still important as the symbolical recognition of the Palestinians right to decide over their own lives.
And - I wonder if I am right - it would help all Palestinians living somewhere in the world to get their Palestinians passports accepted and no longer be considered as stateless. Or am I wrong here?

Les expériences de B.E Skinner, psychologue de réputation
internationale, ont démontré que l’animal dont on récompensait la
bonne conduite apprenait beaucoup plus rapidement et retenait
mieux que l’animal puni pour son mauvais comportement. Des
études plus récentes ont montré qu’il en allait de même pour l’être
humain car, en critiquant, nous n’obtenons pas de changement
durable. Nous nous attirons, au contraire, rancune et amertume.
