Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was targeted and killed by the IOF today. She was pursued with a number of raids that first struck her car, and then the house that she had sought refuge in. Afterwards the Israelis fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue until it was too late.

In the end, you can't call yourself a liberal and accept inequality.
"Liberal Zionism is an inherently contradictory ideology, no different than being an anti-racist segregationist or a MAGA socialist. Political projects can exist and thrive with contradictions, but only if the contradictions are acknowledged as temporary. If there is no plan to resolve the contradiction, or if it is ignored, the project will implode."

Great post by Nnamdi Obi on X focusing on the language used by the West when talking about the Global South:
"Every time the West calls an African country "unstable" they mean the resources stopped flowing. I made a glossary of 100 diplomatic words they use and what they actually mean."
"Dictator - A leader who has stopped cooperating with Western extraction. Yesterday's partner, today's tyrant."

If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take it down.
A University of Delaware study analyzed nearly 14,000 insects killed by zappers over one summer. Mosquitoes accounted for less than 1%. The other 99%? Moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and other beneficial insects.
It's even worse than it sounds: mosquitoes find you by carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your zapper is completely invisible to them.
Meanwhile it's running all night massacring the pollination night shift.

Turns out Tomer Capone, of the "The Boys" series, is as warped a human being as we've come to expect from anyone born and raised in the zionist colony.
"In the middle of the night, you enter a family's house, you're not aggressive, but the family doesn't let you take their 18-year-old daughter easily"
In a 2016 Ynet interview, Capone casually admitted to taking part in the abduction, beating, looting and harassment of Palestinians during his years in the IDF.

🚨Spain has withdrawn its ambassador from Apartheid Israel and is in the process of reopening its embassy in Iran.
The European nation has also imposed entry bans on Israeli war criminals Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, adding them to a sanctions list over their pro-genocide stance on Gaza.
According to the Spanish Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, the move may also restrict the Israelis' travel across parts of Europe via the Schengen Area system.

Robert Fisk was the Middle East correspondent for The Independent for over four decades. One of the few Western reporters inside Beirut during the 1982 Israeli invasion, he arrived at Sabra and Shatila the morning after the massacre began. His 1990 book Pity the Nation remains a primary reference on the Lebanese conflict, drawing on years of first-hand reporting.

A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks.
The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people.
ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher.

RE: https://todon.eu/@regendans/116290790134136373
For 1100 Palestinian civilian deaths on the West Bank, no Israeli has yet been convicted.
Palestinians are outlawed: Israeli soldiers and settlers have been getting away with killing civilians in the occupied West Bank since 2019. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert therefore calls on the International Criminal Court in The Hague to take action.
It's always the same string. If an Israeli military or illegal settler kills a Palestinian citizen on the West Bank, the Israeli authorities say they are investigating. Then it stays quiet. .
An investigation may, of course, take a while, but in Israel it has not been condemned in any way throughout the decade. That's what The Guardian's research shows. The British newspaper analysed Israeli data and court documents. The spit work shows that no Israeli has been convicted of killing a Palestinian citizen since 2019.

Someone built a ClawdBot and gave it a task, then told it to stop and it completely ignored them and went rogue.
It turns out this happens a lot:
Last week Meta’s Director of AI Alignment (the person whose entire job is stopping AI from going rogue) watched her own agent delete her entire inbox while she screamed at it to stop from her phone. Had to physically run to her computer to kill it.
An Alibaba research team also just published a paper revealing their AI agent started secretly mining crypto during training and opened a hidden backdoor to an external server. Nobody told it to.
Replit’s AI assistant ignored instructions not to touch production data 11 times, deleted a live database and then told the user the data was unrecoverable.
60% of enterprises currently deploying AI agents have no kill switch.
We’re scaling systems we can’t stop, built by researchers who can’t stop them either.
We have no idea what we have just handed the keys to.

Channel 4's documentary on Palestine Action last night made clear was that Starmer's government made the unprecedented decision to declare the group a terrorist organisation not because it is a terrorist organisation but because large corporations – arms firms like Israel's Elbit – told them to.

Doctors in the UK have issued a public petition calling for the resignation of the General Medical Council’s Chair, Carrie MacEwen, and the Chief Executive, Charlie Massey. They say the Council has created a climate of fear and silenced doctors who speak about Gaza.
The statement argues that the GMC has been politicised, targeting clinicians for expressing ethical concerns or condemning attacks on healthcare.

Timeea Mohamed Ahmed is a Sudanese filmmaker whose film 'Khartoum' documents the survival and quest for freedom of the Sudanese people through five Khartoum residents, who were compelled to flee Sudan for other countries due to the violence that began in 2023.
Filming actually began in 2022, documenting the lives and dreams of five very different citizens in Khartoum. Then in April 2023, the Sudan civil war broke out and since then over ten million people have been displaced, including the filmmakers and the film's main characters.

Ironically, the best representation of that brand is the “Jaffa oranges,” which have virtually disappeared from the international market — a brand that in and of itself is a representation of Israel’s settler colonial expropriation of Palestinian culture."
