Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians Exclusive: Tech firm ends military unit’s access to AI and data services after Guardian reveals secret spy project

BOYCOTTS WORK.
This is big. It shows a big company knows it's going to lose more money working with Israel than it would gain from Israel. KEEP BOYCOTTING THE COMPANIES ON THE BDS LIST.

Everyone may be entitled to their own opinion, but nobody is entitled to force theirs on you. While it is honorable to have an open mind, do not hesitate to close it —forcefully, if necessary— in the face of hatred, of bigotry, of dishonor.

NerdSync — Free Palestine. Also, James Gunn's Superman movie is good.

“Superman is a Nazi”

Wherein I discuss how critics have called Superman antisemitic since his creation, mostly as a way to push their own agendas.

Just feels like a pretty cut and dry thing:
if you find yourself typing up a big list of reasons why it is bad to advocate the ending of a genocide, you've found yourself on the wrong side of the issue. it just seems like that is something we don't need to be so introspective about.

Why Do Our Politicians Care More About Israel Than Americans? I was astonished by the lack of response when I asked senators about the deadly beating of a 20-year-old American by Israeli settlers.

Asked about Americans killed by Israel, a Senator said she supports Israel.

Then Israeli settlers killed another American.

Then the Trump admin said it confronted Netanyahu about it.

Then it supported Netanyahu at his trial the very next day.

Then Israel bombed the only Catholic church in Gaza.

people who say "i'll never vote for party A unless they give me X, Y and Z" understand and are participating in democracy. anyone who is like "i will vote for party A under any circumstances no matter what" may as well have a king

you pledging your vote for nothing in return is why they take you for granted and get more bigoted to appeal to the right. you gotta at least act like they could lose you, y'know. keep them a little bit worried

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

I think this article is an important read in that dispels the idea that none of this could have gone any other way, that October 7th cast the die and that’s that. From Bibi’s desire to protract the war to the US’s unwillingness to censure them in any way, it could have all gone another way.

one thing grok didnt say when they trained it to be antisemitic was "free palestine"

I guess one big reason why it's so difficult to take leftists seriously when they talk about genocide is, from the way they behave on social media, it's REALLY hard to say confidently that they wouldn't genocide every last "shitlib" if they could.

Literally every leftist and progressive I regularly talk to wants EVERYONE to be taken care of on a societal level, sheltered/fed/clothed/medicined/helped, regardless of their political views, shit lib or conservative or whatever. Literally every single one, Tony. Absolutely go fuck yourself.

I truly don’t have an axe to grind with Natalie. I just keep thinking like. Zohran Mamdani is the frontrunner to be mayor of New York. Says he’d arrest Netanyahu. Was his a victory of the online left? At least kinda right? More relevant there than with Kamala, at least

I guess I just don’t understand what activism even exists to do, or more broadly, what human anger at injustice exists to do, under such a cynical account of things

Americans have profoundly changed their perspectives on Israel. The average democrat is more inclined toward Palestine than Israel now. Is that nothing? Is our relationship with our “greatest ally” going to disappear in a day? It just seems like she’s applying an overly narrow measure of success

I do feel on its face, it is an astonishingly dumb take that online leftists opposing the Gaza genocide contributed to Trump's reelection

Y’all Palestinian people are actually pouring their hearts out online in their last moments and there’s debates on the space of YouTube.

This is a really good time to actually, if you’ve been silent, centre something instead of constantly running scolds

Outside of the USA, protestors, actionists and investigative journalists have actually had significant impact on individuals, companies, and states enabling genocide. To discourage their continued efforts and those that might join them is a terrible thing to do.

also - 'zero palestinian lives were saved?' sorry but the action wrt gaza online was not limited to complaining at contrapoints. people are doing fundraisers for palestinian people & charities all the time. my stream community raised more than $450k for palestinian healthcare charities

confused about where contrapoints assigns agency, in her post. democrats supported a genocide - but it is the left's opposition to that genocide that helped reelect trump? the left distributing pictures and videos of atrocities in gaza has people in a rage - but what about the atrocities themselves?

Hey man Rashed posted on X thanking you and Hasan with your photos ❤️ not sure if you've been able to see already but it was really sweet and I hope you get to see it

I think we should use words like “good” “bad” and “worse more.” That way we could talk about how America has always had many horrible things about it, but also talk about how the president’s pal did a Nazi salute at his inauguration

Aid group says 100% of patients in Gaza in last 24 hours were children Medical aid groups in the Gaza Strip told Insider they are running out of supplies due to Israel's counterattack and blockade.

“Doctors Without Borders told Insider that, on Wednesday, in fact, 100% of their patients were children.”
