Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said Israel needed to prevent a famine in Gaza for "diplomatic reasons", after his government announced it would allow limited food aid into the territory.
"We must not let the population (of Gaza) sink into famine, both for practical and diplomatic reasons," Netanyahu said in a video posted to his Telegram channel, adding that even friends of Israel would not tolerate "images of mass starvation."

Wellll, also their blockading of humanitarian relief is a violation of intl law.
Rule 55. The parties to the conflict must allow and facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief for civilians in need, which is impartial in character and conducted without any adverse distinction, subject to their right of control.
ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/cust…
Rule 53. The use of starvation of the civilian population as a method of warfare is prohibited.

Et cetera.
Not that Netanyahu and gang seems to care about war crimes or be held accountable for them, but rather frequently publicly brag about having committed such.

Someone captured the moment an Australian reporter was shot by a rubber bullet at the anti-ICE protests in LA.
It’s wildly concerning that a country which prides itself on freedom of the press is now shooting at journalists.
Also, watch closely. She was away from the crowds. She was clearly reporting and no threat to anyone.
Yet the agent took direct aim & shot.
This is enraging. This is state sanctioned violence. This is an attack on the press. An attempt to silence.

Pár týdnů před porodem jsem odevzdala (JSME odevzdaLY 🥰) překlad Glory od zimbabwské spisovatelky NoViolet Bulawayo. Bude se jmenovat Slavné časy a vyjde ve Světové knihovně Odeonu. ❤️
Je to politická satira, alegorie pádu zimbabwského diktátora Roberta Mugabeho v roce 2017, a následného zvolení jeho nástupce. Zároveň je to příběh ženy, která se vrátí do své rodné země po deseti letech v exilu a postupně si ze střípků skládá obraz o minulosti svojí rodiny, o níž nevěděla. O genocidě Gukurahundi jste slyšeli? A taky je to přehlídka názorů, dojmů a životních epizod nejrůznějších společenských skupin žijících v nesvobodě autoritářského postkoloniálního režimu.
To vše volně a přiznaně inspirováno Farmou zvířat a psáno tak hravým jazykem s tolika originálními obrazy a mluvícími jmény a s takovým smyslem pro ironii a parodizaci mluvy konkrétních vrstev, že se mi to chtělo překládat od první chvíle, co jsem knížku v roce 2022 vzala do ruky. 🐎🐖🐐
Úplně easy to nebylo, ale nakonec se mi pro ni podařilo během minulého roku sehnat nakladatele i stipendijní podporu Ministerstva kultury. Díky tomu jsem teď část posledních několika měsíců trávila dumáním nad stovkami substitucí a kompenzací a převodem slovních hříček a mluvících jmen a přibližování zimbabwských (!) reálií českému čtenářstvu, zatímco mě kopal malý člověk. Na tohle období budu vzpomínat ráda.
Textem se momentálně probírá Anežka Dudková, kterou jsem si vyžádala jako redaktorku a která je skvělá a navíc dobře zná moje textové manýry a nic mi nedá zadarmo a vím, že překladu strašně pomůže. Uvidíme, jestli budu její redakci autorizovat s píďalkou ještě v bříšku, nebo už v náručí. 😊
Držte palce a na každý pád si ji přečtěte, až bude venku. Bude mít navíc krásnou pevnou vazbu, se kterou půjde fakt dobře bušit Čecháčky do hlavy za moudra typu “Afričani mají krásný, bohatý země a kdyby nebyli líní a neschopní, mohli dávno prosperovat”. Doporučuju. 👌

Zajímalo by mě, jestli to je nějaká forma PR spolupráce nebo obsese redakce Živě a Computeru Mapy.com. Teď tam mají o tomto produktu článek snad každý týden a nikdy nezapomenou zmínit, jak úžasný produkt to je. Nejlépe přímo v titulku.
Jednu dobu takhle promovali třeba #Zoner Photo Studio, což jsem taky moc nechápal.
Neříkám, že Mapy.com nejsou dobré. Ale tohle podkuřování nikomu dobrou službu neudělá. Jen to v Češích buduje falešnou představu, že tu máme po všech stránkách unikátní produkt. Přitom trh s mapovými službami je ve skutečnosti hodně rozmanitý.
@MichalBryxi Neříkám, že nejsou, ale zároveň nejsou zdaleka tak populární, jak si lidi u nás na základě podobných článků myslí. Někdy mi přijde, že má u nás hodně lidí představu, že jsou Google Maps, pak možná ještě Apple Maps a naše Mapy.com jsou k nim jedinou alternativou. (sám jsem podobné povědomí měl do loňska taky)
Přitom Mapy.com se teprve nedávno přehouply na Google Play přes 10 milionů stažení. Populárnější je z tohoto pohledu slovenský Sygic. Podobně populární je Locus Map, který dělá malá pražská firmička, kterou u nás nikdo nezná. Podstatně více stažení má např. open-source OsmAnd.
Reálně tak Mapy.com patří do skupiny 20 nejpopulárnějších mapových aplikací na světě, což je skvělé, ale v té skupině máme v Česku další aplikaci a na Slovensku taky. A o tom se moc nepíše.
Asi jsem potkal jen pár lidí co na kolo teď používají mapy.com. Dost lidí s Organic maps jen jednoho motorkáře taky s OsmAnd ale ten mix je daleko pestřejší, a to jsem v Portugalsku potkal i borca s papírovou mapou z benzínky (hodně old school touring).
Je teda pravda že v tom outdoorovém prostoru Google prostě ztrácí popularitu nebo ji nikdy neměl a teď hodně lidí hledá a zkouší různé alternativy.
Rozhodně si nemyslím že to je tak černobílé 50/50 mapy/komoot a když se o tom s někým bavím tak těch map a dalších mapových nástrojů používají většinou více (brouter/ oficiální stránky tras na plánování + mapu na navigaci + mapové nástroje pro cyklo počítač + mapu pro vyhledávání POI...)
Já jsem toho za posledních pár měsíců využil/využívám tak 5-6 různých zdrojů a mapy.com teda ne protože mobil bez aktualizovaných map mě umřel a nechci platit předplatné.
@plactagonic Jo, u nás to je právě tak, že kdo nepoužívá Google Maps, používá Mapy.com a pak může Čech nabýt dojmu, že tomu tak je všude, ale v zahraničí je ta realita mnohem rozmanitější. Google Maps dominují, ale pak je to řada aplikací, které se zaměřují na různé oblasti.
Mapy.com to mají v zahraničí o to složitější, že za hranicemi používají OSM (nemůžou se odlišovat od konkurence proprietárními daty), množství recenzí k POI klesá k nule, chybí Panorama a kromě pár okolních zemí tam nemají ani informace o dopravě. Ve výsledku tam tak jako jediná přidaná hodnota zůstává ten pěkný rendering map.

[...] The manufactured famine in Gaza must be halted. The international community must act decisively, immediately, and with full moral and legal responsibility.
[...]
Over two million Palestinians in Gaza are living in famine. Since March 2, 2025, Israel has blocked all humanitarian supplies and life-saving assistance - constituting the longest total siege Gaza has ever experienced.
[...]
Despite this catastrophic reality, over 3,000 aid trucks and 116,000 metric tonnes of food are ready and waiting to enter Gaza – obstructed solely by Israel.
[...]
We therefore call for the immediate organization and deployment of a Diplomatic Humanitarian Convoy to Gaza through the Rafah Crossing.
We urge states to join the humanitarian convoy by dispatching official diplomatic missions -at the highest possible level- to accompany the aid trucks already waiting at the Rafah Crossing, and to enter Gaza alongside them. This act is grounded in states’ legal obligations, moral courage, and human solidarity.

'Israel still blocking aid for Gaza despite promise to lift siege, says UN' and
"the leader of the country’s centre-left Democrats party said his country was becoming a pariah nation that “kills babies as a hobby”.
Only five trucks of aid had reached Gaza by Tuesday afternoon and aid workers had not been given permission to distribute even that token shipment, Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN humanitarian office (Ocha) told a Geneva press briefing.
Israeli authorities have approved “around 100” other trucks to enter Gaza but not yet let them cross, he said.'
More: theguardian.com/world/2025/may…
I believe the ordinary conditions needs are in the several hundred trucks for the millions of people.
Now after long self-admitted Israel-manufactured intended famine the need is extraordinarily high, not less.
If the number let in is 5 or 93, whether allowed to distribute all, some or nothing, it would at their best claim STILL be not even remotely enough and STILL an actual textbook war crime to keep blockading the humanitarian relief standing by to save more than tens of thousands indisputably 100% civilians.

Aid instrumentalised, health system under fire: Gaza is being deliberately asphyxiated by Israeli forces
An insufficient amount of aid is being allowed into the Strip, merely a smokescreen to pretend the siege is over. Meanwhile, at least 20 medical facilities in Gaza have been damaged, or forced partially or completely out of service in the past week by advancing Israeli ground operations, intensified airstrikes, and widespread evacuation orders. As people remain in desperate need of medical care and aid, Israeli authorities must stop the deliberate asphyxiation of Gaza and the annihilation of its healthcare system, that is underpinning their campaign of ethnic cleansing

European civil society calls for the protection of the freedom flotilla and an end to the Gaza blockade
A vessel attempting to carry medicine, food, and infant supplies to Gaza is currently sailing across the Mediterranean. A previous attempt at such a voyage was ended following an attack by armed drones. A letter so far signed by 220 organisations and 4,700 individuals calls on European and other governments to take action to ensure the protection of the vessel, and an end to the siege [...]
On board are 12 humanitarians and activists – including MEP Rima Hassan and climate activist Greta Thunberg – carrying essential aid: medicine, food, and infant supplies, destined for a Palestinian population subjected to an illegal blockade and enduring an ongoing genocide.
On 2nd June 2025, ten UN experts, including nine Special Rapporteurs, demanded that this vessel be granted safe passage, reminding the international community that:
• Gaza has the right to receive humanitarian aid by sea, even under occupation;
• The Flotilla is navigating entirely legally in international waters, in accordance with maritime and international humanitarian law;
• UN member states have both a legal and moral obligation to end the famine and the crimes being committed in Gaza.

"We have the capacity to get ourselves to Gaza tomorrow. It is up to Israel if they want to violate international law.
The Palestinians have the right to decide what gets into their water and it is illegal to stop a civilian ship with humanitarian aid.
We will not turn back. We are en route to Gaza."

"We have done non-violence-training and have protocols for how we will act at a potential attack, at hijacking of the ship, arrests, violence or other scenarios.
We will respond non-violently to maximize our security and for us to succeed with out mission."
Aftonbladet: "Are you scared?"
Greta: "I am terrified that people can see what happens in Gaza and actively choose to not act. I am terrified of that."

While #Madleen must be released immediately, every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.
#BreakingTheSiege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.

in reply to b9AcE is anti-fascist • • •Pretty astoundingly repugnant of Israel to call the Madleen of the Freedom Flotilla "selfie yacht" after they illegally boarded it and abducted the crew.
What they WERE doing was literally knowingly risking their lives for humanity, as Israel against a previous, much larger, humanitarian aid convoy of the same Freedom Flotilla murdered 10 of those participants when they illegally boarded that convoy in international waters, out of which one according to a witness with a headshot.
Also, this iteration of the Freedom Flotilla was airstrike-bombed outside Malta, extremely "probably" by Israel, so they have a different, smaller boat as the previous ship as a result of the bombing got a hole in the hull.
As civilians the only protection they had and have against being murdered too is that they are well and widely known, that "the whole world is watching" as the slogan goes, so they could not just be silently assassinated.
This also fills the purpose of enabling democracy to properly function against war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, by highlighting current grave injustice.
To inform others when something is wrong is foundational to any democracy, which is probably also why the current authoritarian far-right regime of Israel despises it.
They were and remain all heroes of humanity.

theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…
It is... not a good article, probably because they based it according to themselves on Reuters, which has problems with their reporting when it is related to Israel. Hopefully they'll rewrite it.
Otherwise, check back in this long thread which is dedicated to the topic of that particular humanitarian aid convoy, where I have been tooting the events as they happened all through the night.
Goodnight (or "good day" I suppose, but I'm going to sleep)!

Katja Van Rennes is the sister of Marco Van Rennes - a volunteer on the 'Madleen'. Marco, along with 11 others, was abducted by Israel whilst in international waters at around 0300 EEST 9 Jun 2025. All 12 of the 'Madleen' crew continue to be held by the Israeli military. Pressure the Dutch Foreign ministry and all other foreign ministries of the volunteers who were taken against their will from the 'Madleen' as she was sailing to break the seige of Gaza.

Turkey [...] condemned Israel’s seizure of the Madleen and accused Israel of acting “as a terror state”.
Turkish activists Suayb Ordu is among the 12-strong crew. The Turkish foreign ministry called the move a “clear violation of international law”.
It said the intervention threatened maritime security and “once again demonstrates that Israel is acting as a terror state.”

While this is correct, we must also remember that it was Erdoğan who after much posturing for own propaganda then once attention died down sold out the court case related to the boarding of Mavi Marmara and the other ships in the same Freedom Flotilla convoy where Israel's forces murdered 10 civilian humanitarian aid convoy participants,
for the price of one petroleum trade agreement with Erdoğan's brother in genocidal warfare Netanyahu, with the included condition that the case can never be brought to court again.
It was also Turkey who blocked this now boarded iteration of Freedom Flotilla from leaving port for months, obstructing their continuing on to Gaza.
Erdoğan doesn't care about the Freedom Flotilla, Gaza or anything else than about Erdoğan, now using this crime for personal political profit too.

in reply to b9AcE is anti-fascist • • •The response to Greta Thunberg being illegally abducted by Israel, people calling the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Sweden to pressure them to actually do their jobs this time, has now been commented by the MFA being outraged that "A campaign has started where one calls the MFA to a large extent and thus blocks calls for others who ae in urgent need of consular aid" (my translation)... blaming the people worried and upset about this repeat violation against another citizen of Sweden for the MFA's own failure to properly staff their lines, address the concerns in an appropriate and proactive manner and most of all to take open and clear action to fulfill their jobs.
It's not the public's job to create some queue-system deciding whose turn it is to get the great honor of calling the Ministry. It's the Ministry's job to... do their jobs.

Freedom Flotilla Official Update: It's time for our governments to do their jobs and sanction Israel. Its illegal attack on 'Madleen' while sailing in international waters is a small extension of their war crimes in Gaza. Governments, institutions, media, and corporations must stop protecting Israel, now. They must stop prioritising profit over human lives, now. Protect our volunteers while protecting Palestinians in Gaza and wider Palestine.
