On the third year of genocide, as Gaza gets hit by a plague of rats/fleas, EU bureaucratese and charity posturing are simply unsufferable.
Uphold the Law.
Stop arming & trading with Israel.
Ensure ICC arrest warrants are enforced.
Defend the defenders.
Only then, talk charity.

Gaza: a rodent infestation crisis is unfolding due to overcrowded shelters, mountains of waste, disrupted sewage management & limited access to water and hygiene supplies. We continue to support partners delivering life-saving aid in Gaza, and call for unimpeded access.

Having targeted journalists in Gaza, in complete impunity, Israel is now doing the same in Lebanon.
Why will they stop? Only a handful of States have taken measures to sanction them for genocide, apartheid and unlawful occupation.
It is not that complicated: the inaction of the international community breeds Israel impunity which breeds escalating violations.
Alex Crawford@AlexCrawfordSky
The Lebanese President; the Lebanese Prime minister and the Committee to Protect Journalists all believe Amal Khalil was targeted and killed by Israeli military. A ‘ceasefire’ was in place when this happened…now extended for three weeks. Leb authorities want Israeli troops to pull out and stop destroying homes - and Hezbollah to hold fire - few believe any of that will happen. Good report by @DiMagnaySky

Une « zone tampon » imposée militairement à l’intérieur des frontières d’un état voisin et non administrativement à l’intérieur de ses propres frontières, ça s’appelle une annexion. Non ?

L'armée israélienne occupe militairement 47 villages du sud Liban. 15 autres villages sont inclus dans la zone tampon annoncée par Israël. Source: L'Orient Le Jour today.lorientlejour.com/article/150450…

🔴 Israël/UE : des appels à suspendre l'accord commercial ➡️ "Si le gouvernement israélien ne change pas sa politique, et notamment à Gaza et en Cisjordanie, on ne pourra pas faire comme si de rien n'était", dit Jean-Noël Barrot, ministre des Affaires étrangères.

By putting the EU-Israel trade deal before human life, the EU puts profit before people. Italy and Germany continue to block the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
But change is vital. One million people in Europe, 75 NGOs, 400 diplomats and officials, Belgium, Ireland, Slovenia and Spain are calling for the suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement.
Sign our petition: amn.st/6017BBDdcT
Demand @giorgiameloni and @bundeskanzler show integrity and stop greenlighting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and apartheid over all Palestinians.
Humanity must win.

Quelle honte. La décision de l’Union Europeenne de maintenir son accord commercial avec Israël est honteuse et lache. Elle témoigne d’un mépris flagrant pour la vie des civils, notamment dans les Territoires palestiniens occupés et au Liban.
Un million de personnes en Europe, plus de 75 ONG, près de 400 anciens diplomates, des experts de l’ONU ainsi que la Belgique, l’Irlande, la Slovénie et l’Espagne ont tous appelé à la suspension immédiate de cet accord.
Une fois de plus, ces appels ont été ignorés, l’Allemagne et l’Italie jouant un rôle déterminant dans le blocage de cette suspension.
Cet épisode restera comme un nouveau chapitre honteux de l’un des moments les plus déplorables de l’histoire de l’UE.

Settlers, settler government and members of parliament want to colonise the areas of Gaza destroyed by the Israeli military and complete the expulsion of the Palestinian population. Meanwhile, the military is expanding its permanent presence in order to facilitate the process.
B.M.@ireallyhateyou
"The Jewish Nation is Returning to Gaza!" Another massive march to Gaza, in demand of "occupation, expulsion and settlement", will take place this Wednesday, on Israel's so-called "Independence Day", and will be attended by Israeli ministers, MKs and many other public figures.

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what? Excerpts from the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West, by Alexander C. Karp & Nicholas W. Zamiska techrepublicbook.com

Under international law leaders who have aided and assisted the commission of internationally wrongful acts that amount to international crimes should be investigated and prosecuted.
Kaja Kallas@kajakallas
Under international law, transit through waterways like the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and free of charge. This is what leaders made clear in their call on reopening the Strait today. Any pay-for-passage scheme will set a dangerous precedent for global maritime routes. Iran has to abandon any plan to levy transit fees. Europe will play its part in restoring the free flow of energy and trade, once a ceasefire takes hold. The EU’s Aspides naval mission is already operating in the Red Sea and can be quickly strengthened to protect shipping across the region. This could be the fastest way to provide support.

I have seen enough to say it with absolute certainty: the Israeli army is the most depraved army.

Shameful decision from the French Government:
The Decision to deny entry to Shawan Jabarin, veteran Palestinian human rights defender and General Director of Al-Haq, is both shameful and deeply troubling.
Shawan is a human rights defender who has dedicated his life to pursuing justice for international crimes. He is denied entry into the Schengen area, while individuals wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity are able to travel freely.
This stark and absurd double standard should prompt urgent reflection among European states on their commitment to accountability and the consistent application of international justice.
We call on the French Government to reverse its decision so that Shawan can travel to France.

Nouveau scandale dans l'acharnement contre Rima Hassan. C'est accablant.
Mediapart révèle que les services de M. Nunez ont organisé la mise sous surveillance de Rima Hassan, notamment en traçant sa ligne téléphonique.
Tous ses déplacements étaient consignés.
L'agence Europol, Air France, la SNCF : tous les moyens ont été déployés pour recueillir des informations contre elle.
Sur ordre, en France, on traque maintenant des élus d'opposition avec tous les moyens de la police. Les méthode d'un État policier, pas d'une démocratie.
Ce qui était une barbouzerie devient un scandale d'État. Les responsables doivent s'expliquer, à commencer par les ministres.

Soit la ministre @auroreberge n’a pas lu le projet de loi #Yadan, soit elle ment sciemment en connaissance de cause devant la représentation nationale en affirmant que le mot Israël n’est jamais mentionné dans ledit projet.
Dans les deux cas c’est gravissime.
Le mot Israël apparaît 15 fois, le mot israélien 2 fois.
