By failing to sanction Israel, EU leaders are complicit in its crimes. They must act now | Josep Borrell Europe’s silence has allowed the genocide of Palestinians to continue unchecked – undermining all it stands for, says Josep Borrell, a former EU high representative

"Those who do not act to stop this genocide and these violations of international law, even though they have the power to do so, are complicit in them. This is unfortunately the case with the leaders of the European Union and those of its member states." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Von der Leyen’s deputy pushes president for more EU action on Israel and Gaza The European Commission’s Teresa Ribera says history will judge the EU for its failure to address the situation in the Middle East.

We support @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu in her demand for a stronger and more coherent European stance on the humanitarian crisis in #Gaza. Leadership means defending international law and human dignity.

While I didn't receive this alert, I did get a push alert for a comment that read "a filthy jew with a gun" today, on a video of an Israeli settler attack in the West Bank. Presumably, the algorithm IDed the video as something I might be interested in. Quite jarring to receive a racist push alert...

CPJ: Israel is starving Gazan journalists into silence - Committee to Protect Journalists New York, July 23, 2025—The Committee to Protect Journalists added its voice to Wednesday’s urgent appeal from more than 100 aid agencies to end to Israel’s starvation of journalists and other civilia...

“Israel is starving Gazan journalists into silence. They are not just reporters, they are frontline witnesses, abandoned as international media were pulled out and denied entry,” said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah.

Journalisten verhungern derzeit wegen Israels Vorgehen. Deutsche Medien halten es für angebracht, über den Hamas-Angriff auf einen Journalisten vor Wochen zu sprechen. Das ist Propaganda. Und das konnte nur in Deutschland passieren.

Israel hat Hunderte Journalisten in Gaza getötet, und Sie meinen, wir müssten über die Hamas reden? Das ist unverantwortliche Berichterstattung.

Must-read reporting from @sallyhayd.bsky.social at the Israel-Gaza border.

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

The idea that 50 officials would contact him to arrange a coup is fanciful, never mind 50,000, given the level of contempt ordinary Iranians have for Pahlavi.

Iranians Targeted With Spyware in Lead-Up to War With Israel More than a dozen Iranians’ mobile phones were targeted with spyware in the months prior to the country’s war with Israel, according to new research.

More than a dozen Iranians’ mobile phones were targeted with spyware in the months prior to the country’s war with Israel. They received “high confidence” notifications from Apple saying they were targeted with sophisticated spyware similar to NSO Group’s Pegasus. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hundreds, if not more, of cases of #spyware abuse by EU governments against their critics, but so far ZERO convictions. Most cases cannot even be brought to court. The delays in the Greek case are absurd, but at least the matter is still in court. #Koukakis #Seaford @vaspanagiotopoulos.com

Man gets life sentence for wife's murder after gardaí find video of fatal attack on his phone Analysis of the phone uncovered a 90-minute video clip, which included footage of the murder.

Cracking of Mooney's phone w/ Cellebrite was reported at the time as absolutely decisive. Positive spin came immediately after I had reported Cellebrite's links to IDF and its illegal use by PSNI. Reporting on sentencing now shows Mooney admitted guilt immediately. www.thejournal.ie/stephen-moon...

The original ST report appears to indicate the goal is to legislate for the use of spyware - the hacking of the device itself. It also indicates this is already happening. Not that this protects the government from legal action, as seen in the Meta v NSO case.

Gardai to get powers to monitor WhatsApp chats Justice minister prepares law to intercept criminals’ messages but it’s unclear how Apple, Google, Meta and ByteDance will respond

What this report really means is that the government is planning to legislate for the use of spyware - despite having signed up to code of practice to address the "proliferation and irresponsible use" of such technology just three months ago. www.thetimes.com/world/irelan...

How China’s Patriotic ‘Honkers’ Became the Nation’s Elite Cyber Spies A new report traces the history of the early wave of Chinese hackers who became the backbone of the state's espionage apparatus.

How did China's top APT hackers come to be? Many were early "Honkers" - patriotic hackers who in late 90s launched low-skill cyberattacks against nations deemed disrespectful to China. But once Honkers developed their skills, PLA/MSS came calling. Based on great research by bsky.app/profile/eube...
