“ Why us?’ is always the main question. Is there any quality that will give us the upper hand?” Yoshihiro Kitamura, the president of Recruit, said to me. “If it doesn’t give us an upper hand, a Google app or Facebook plugin is enough to kill us. “ Powerful reminder. #dailyread

I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom. 1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction. 2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion 3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual 4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded 5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide. For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal. 6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked. 7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law. 8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas. This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi. I hope you find this helpful.

@nofr33dinner Tahniah! All the best

@mfafirdausali Tahniah! Omedetto.

Completed my undergraduate studies. Reflecting back, I think pursuing my degree studies in Japanese is indeed something I appreciate most. It was not easy, but having them around made the journey a lot more easier. Alhamdulillah.

Happy New Year everyone! May the year 2025 brings all of you joy, peace and happiness. Im starting the year with this piece: businesstimes.com.sg/international/…

Shame on you! You killed them at home, in the hospitals, in the ambulances, in the schools, in the mosques, in the markets, on the farms, in the refugee camps, while giving birth, while fleeing to "safety" waving white flags! The elderly, the men, women, children, aid workers, journalists and EVERYONE. You destroyed EVERYTHING to smithereens. And you still claim to be the victim! #AllEyesOnRafah

WOW, this might be THE most important piece of journalism on the war on Gaza since it began, by Israeli newspaper @972mag : 972mag.com/mass-assassina… Essentially they confirm, with unimpeachable sourcing, that the killing of civilians was all calculated and intentional. Their investigation is "based on conversations with seven current and former members of Israel’s intelligence community — including military intelligence and air force personnel who were involved in Israeli operations in the besieged Strip — in addition to Palestinian testimonies, data, and documentation from the Gaza Strip, and official statements by the IDF Spokesperson and other Israeli state institutions." What the investigation reveals is that "the Israeli army has files on the vast majority of potential targets in Gaza — including homes — which stipulate the number of civilians who are likely to be killed in an attack on a particular target. This number is calculated and known in advance to the army’s intelligence units, who also know shortly before carrying out an attack roughly how many civilians are certain to be killed." One source told them: "Nothing happens by accident. When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home." Even more dystopian - and this might be a first in the history of warfare - a lot of the targets are identified by AI: for instance they "use of a system called 'Habsora' ('The Gospel'), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can 'generate' targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a 'mass assassination factory.' According to the sources, the increasing use of AI-based systems like Habsora allows the army to carry out strikes on residential homes where a single Hamas member lives on a massive scale, even those who are junior Hamas operatives." I'm not going to copy the whole article here, you have to read this for yourself. IT IS INSANE. They've essentially been running, as the sources say, a "mass assassination factory" at a terrifying scale with massive and intended "collateral damage" (often the targets' entire families, or even sometimes much of their neighborhood), alongside an objective to destroy much of Gaza to “create a shock”, all on a population that had nowhere to escape. It'll likely remain in history books as one of the most depraved massacres in modern history.

A useful reading for anyone interested in AI risks is the official GPT-4 system card from back in March. It can help you understand what an advanced LLM without guardrails can do, since they give “before” and “after” examples. Appendix D has details. cdn.openai.com/papers/gpt-4-s…

BREAKING🚨: Israel admits apache helicopters fired on their own civilians running from the Supernova music festival. “The pilots realised that there was tremendous difficulty in distinguishing within the occupied outposts and settlements who was a terrorist and who was a soldier or civilian… The rate of fire against the thousands of terrorists was tremendous at first, and only at a certain point did the pilots begin to slow down the attacks and carefully select the targets.” middleeastmonitor.com/20231030-repor… archive.is/IIOLg
