The left must stop apologizing for Hamas – The Forward

The contemporary left-wing slide into Hamas apologism is not only abhorrent, but not aligned with the goals of Palestinian liberation.

We now understand why permissive #licensing is bad for #FOSS.

#Redis taught us why #GPL is important and #MIT, #Apache, #BSD etc allow corporations to enclose and steal our contributions.

#Israel's use of #Lavender for targeting in #Gaza, which may also use the code we donated to the commons, shows that we need to be more restrictive if we want to avoid assisting war crimes and probable #genocide.

I hope some lawyers are on this, and will help us add exclusions to protect from such use.

Dear mastodon.social, why are you hiding/limiting @LALegault’s account?

Is it policy on mastodon.social to hide/limit pro-Palestinian / anti-genocide accounts?

(Someone there wanna check my account also, just in case?)

Oh rascal children of Gaza,

You who constantly disturbed me with your screams under my window,

You who filled every morning with rush and chaos,

You who broke my vase and stole the lonely flower on my balcony,

Come back –

And scream as you want,

And break all the vases,

Steal all the flowers,

Come back,

Just come back…

By Khaled Juma.

Oh Rascal Children Of Gaza – a poem

Khaled Juma’s poem “Oh Rascal Children Of Gaza” was written during the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in Operation Protective Edge…

^{Jewish Voice for Labour}

It's kinda weird seeing people saying "Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 to give peace a chance".

This is Dov Weisglass, senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, in an interview to Haaretz in 2004. Weisglass was one of the initiators of the disengagement plan.

"The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process."

'A mass assassination factory'

November 30, 2023

Israeli Defense Minister Gallant: "We are fighting human animals & we act accordingly."

7 Israeli defense & intel members detailed to 972 how #IDF is killing vastly more civilians in #Gaza, via

1) expanded permission to bomb non-military targets,
2) tossed constraints regarding expected civilian casualties
3) began using an #AI system to generate more potential targets than human command could

‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza

Permissive airstrikes on non-military targets and the use of an AI system have enabled the Israeli army to carry out its deadliest war on Gaza.

This seems to be working even up to an hour ago: you can help Gazans get/stay connected by buying e-sims. One effort is by Mirna El Hebawi and you can send the purchased QR activation code to Gazaesims@gmail.com. I've seen people purchasing Airalo as well in addition to the ones mentioned here.

Another one is crowdfunding costs to buy e-sims: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=HTJJJBGXT9L8W

Palestine Action US campaign launches to stop Israeli genocide of Palestine and shut Elbit down

^{Adam Horowitz (Mondoweiss)}

UN human rights experts strongly & unequivocally condemned the decision by the Israeli Minister of Defence, Benny Gantz, to designate six Palestinian human rights and civil society groups as terrorist organisations.
“These organisations speak the language of universal human rights. They use a rights-based approach to their work, including a gendered analysis, to document human rights abuses of all kinds in Palestine, including business-related human rights abuses.”
