It is not a good look for corporate media AND Democrats that Tucker Carlson, a racist, did a thorough grilling of Mike Huckabee, with several excellent follow ups, during this interview where hes said the IDF is more humane than the US military, among other outlandish claims.

Is starvation in Gaza really Israel's fault? The facts are clear Rising starvation in Gaza may have a number of factors. But Israel's wartime policies on humanitarian aid are inarguably among them.

For @forward.com, I wrote about how we know that Israel has been withholding food as a military tactic because Israeli officials have said versions of “we are withholding food as a military tactic” for the entirety of the war and pretending otherwise is willful ignorance forward.com/opinion/7586...

This is also a considerable underestimation for ‘technical’ errors.
The last Israeli army offensive in Gaza uses ‘necrotactics.’ From a military perspective, necrotactics reverse traditional goals of warfare, by entering strategic ground solely in order to kill.

EU and Israel reach Gaza aid deal, Kallas says - Euractiv A "substantial increase of daily trucks" would happen in the "coming days", the EU's top diplomat said.

A naked attempt to avert EU sanctions by announcing a verbal agreement to allow more aid. Not worth the paper it's not written on

M6.2 earthquake shakes Istanbul It's not the big one... yet.

A M6.2 earthquake below the Sea of Marmara shook Istanbul today. While damage in this event was limited, a large earthquake on this fault system is one of the world’s most serious, and most anticipated, seismic disasters.

I think I’m going to be thinking about this quote from Gordon Hirabayshi on the walls of the museum for a long time.

“Combat, victory, administration” sounds a lot more like “clear, hold, build” than the previous “clear, withdraw, repeat” strategy did.

Sure seems like the IDF, under the new chief of staff, is gearing up for the occupation—and inevitable insurgency—that it previously insisted wouldn’t work.

These are the parts of Gaza the IDF has instructed civilians to evacuate since bombing and ground operations resumed last week—60 square miles, over 40 percent of the total area of the strip

When someone replies to you saying something like “oh, you thought this right / law / norm still mattered? How naive!” this is just a form of anticipatory obedience. Cynicism is self-protective. It’s a way to justify compliance

ONE PALESTINE, COMPLETE Jews and Arabs Under the British Mandate by TOM SEGEV

The inside cover of the book

On reading simplicity. Many books were my Grandma’s and then Mums (…) It’s taken a while for me to read them, but it was worth the wait.

'One Palestine, Complete' by Tom Segev is a riveting, timely must-read for me now 📖

The image is a highly detailed and abstract illustration focusing on the themes of knowledge and technology integration. It features an intricate arrangement of elements, including: 1. **Books**: Open and closed books are prominently placed in the center, symbolizing knowledge and learning. 2. **Gears and Machinery**: Various gears and mechanical parts are interwoven throughout the composition, representing innovation, connection, and industrial design. 3. **Clouds**: Stylized clouds are integrated into the structure, suggesting digital connectivity and cloud computing. 4. **Abstract Shapes**: Circular and linear abstract shapes add movement and a futuristic aesthetic, creating a sense of flow and continuity. 5. **Color Palette**: Dominated by shades of blue, gray, and white, the palette conveys a modern, clean, and professional look. 6. **Central Focus**: The design emphasizes the central elements, removing any extraneous margins or background, ensuring the focal point is on the interplay of books, gears, and clouds. The overall aesthetic is dynamic and organized, reflecting the themes of continuous learning, technological advancement, and the interconnectivity of ideas.
