18,500 (!) children killed by Israel in Gaza.

Israel committing genocide in Gaza, say Israel-based human rights groups Reports detailing killing of children and elderly, forced displacement and starvation likely to add to pressure for action * Middle East crisis – live updates Two leading human rights organisations based in Israel, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the country’s western allies have a legal and moral duty to stop it. In reports published on Monday, the two groups said Israel had targeted civilians in Gaza only because of their identity as Palestinians over nearly two years of war, causing severe and in some cases irreparable damage to Palestinian society.

Israel committing genocide in Gaza, say Israel-based human rights groups

The continuation of the war in Gaza disgraces Israel It no longer has a military justification

“The war against Hamas in Gaza has become endless, indiscriminate and militarily pointless. It is turning Israel into a pariah.” economist.com/leaders/2025...

…al delirio de grandeza o al de persecución, y vuelve a las naciones amargas, soberbias, insoportables y vanas.”
—Paul Valéry

“La historia es el producto más peligroso que la química del intelecto haya creado. Sus propiedades son bien conocidas. Hace soñar, embriaga, engendra recuerdos falsos, exagera los reflejos, mantiene abiertas viejas heridas, atormenta en el reposo, conduce…

…los principales promotores de la desigualdad, aquellos que capitanearon la deriva hipercapitalista, han sido llamados a curar sus síntomas, mientras se desviaba la mirada sobre otros –inmigrantes, exportaciones de 🇨🇳, regulaciones de 🇪🇺– como causa primigenia de los problemas”.

“En la gran hipnosis inducida con la tecnología digital, la quintaesencia de la élite como Trump y los republicanos en 🇺🇸 o los tories en 🇬🇧 han sido en distintos momentos elegidos como paladines del empoderamiento de las clases populares. En ese diabólico mecanismo…

“🇪🇺, de forma inconsciente, ha contribuido a la conformación del gran remolino: se nutrió el fortalecimiento de adversarios como 🇷🇺 y 🇨🇳 con relaciones energéticas y comerciales ingenuas; se profundizó una malsana dependencia de 🇺🇸 en materia militar o tecnológica”.

“Cada país europeo debe saber que la salvación en esta época peligrosa depende de la conciencia de sus límites, que solo la ayuda mutua puede evitar la perdición”.

“🇪🇺 afronta desafíos externos enormes e inmediatos con debilidades que la sitúan en una posición que hoy es de dependencia y mañana puede ser de subordinación e incluso subyugación”.

“Esta deriva nos reclama pensamiento, convicción y acción: la rebelión”.

Como escribió Italo Calvino en ‘Las ciudades invisibles’, hemos de “buscar y saber reconocer quién y qué, en medio del infierno, no es infierno, y hacer que dure, y darle espacio”.

“Vivimos un tiempo –escribe @andrea-rizzi.bsky.social en este didáctico y estimulante libro– en el que el péndulo de la historia va en la dirección contraria a la de las grandes conquistas de la civilización occidental”.

I think European leaders - both national and in the EU - are underestimating what it will do to their publics to be humilated by Trump.

Like the NATO summit and Rutte's 'Daddy' strategy, mabye the outcome could have been worse. But losing pride and being humilated is also a price that is paid.

Free! Free! Palestine! 🇵🇸

“Members of this plutocracy have also shifted the political debate away from economic inequality by exploiting the identity politics of ethnonationalism.”

The US is “largely a plutocracy,” a polity run by the rich.

“There is increasing evidence, especially from the US, that it is not the people who determine tax policy, but a small minority. Indeed, tax policy is supporting the creation of an immensely wealthy and powerful hereditary plutocracy.”

Martin Wolf labels Trump’s approach to politics “pluto-populism” – “promoting the prosperity of the few by exploiting the prejudices of the many.”

“Pluto-populism first makes people angry and then blames what ails them on foreigners or minorities.”

“Liberal democracy must find a new equilibrium between the market economy and democratic politics. If it does not do so, it may collapse.”

“A good part of what has gone wrong is the tendency of the powerful to rig the economic and political systems against the rest of society.”

Benjamin Netanyahu and the rest of the murderers in the Israeli government and military – #StopStarvingGaza now!

Starvation is a horrific reality for children and families in Gaza. Aid at scale must be allowed in urgently.

This is a man-made disaster.

Enough is enough. The United Nations must be allowed to deliver aid of all types at scale to families in Gaza, wherever they are.

To survive the AI age, the web needs a new business model Artificial intelligence has undermined the internet’s central bargain

The short-term transition costs incurred by moving away from US tech providers are not a cost but “an investment in the future”.

“If you don’t have the engineers, the talent, the knowhow to build this type of stuff here, you’re basically screwed for the 21st century.”

Can Europe break free of American tech supremacy? The continent’s dependence on US groups for digital infrastructure is causing growing concern among executives and policymakers

“If we don’t invest in tech in Europe, we are simply opting out of the biggest driver of economic growth.”

Democracia, justicia y derechos humanos: ¡siempre!

When are these countries going to finally sanction Israel for the genocide it is committing in #Gaza?

Israel condemned by 25 countries for ‘drip feeding of aid’ in Gaza UK, EU nations and others including Japan demand an immediate end to the war against Hamas

25 countries (including 🇯🇵 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇨🇦) condemn “inhumane killing of civilians” in #Gaza.

“It’s horrifying that 800+ Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid.”

“The Israeli Govt’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance is unacceptable.” on.ft.com/44Fpo5M
