"At least 57 Palestinians starved to death under Israel’s blockade of Gaza"

aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/3/57

<💬>
Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said he had witnessed heartbreaking scenes of children rifling through rubbish, “looking for whatever is left of canned food products”. The enclave, he added, had reached a “critical” point with international organisations out of supplies and community kitchens unable to prepare meals for displaced people.

The cruelty is the point. Specifically, the point is dehumanization and torture - they are trying to turn starving Palestinians into "beasts" so that it's easier to rationalize mass killing ("culling") under speciesist logic.

“It’s frustrating and infuriating to have trucks piling up on the other side of the fence be denied entrance while the people, even children, are in dire conditions.”

Continued thread

Instead, what exists now is a total #siege. For 60 days, #Israel’s authorities have blocked the entry of #humanitarian #aid & commercial goods in….That has left the already beleaguered residents of #Gaza in an even more miserable predicament. The #WorldFoodProgram said this week that its warehouses are empty & that bakeries & soup kitchens are rationing their last stocks. #UN experts say that #malnutrition rates are rising & that the prospect of a full-blown #famine is now all-too real.

📢 The US Treasury Department announced new sanctions on the International Bank of Yemen on Thursday

International news agencies quoted the statement as saying that the US also imposed sanctions on senior bank officials (Kamal Hussein Al-Jabri, Ahmed Thabet Noman Al-Absi, and Abdul Qader Ali Bazara), on the pretext of the bank’s financial support for Ansarallah*

ZoomWelcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Power Half-Hour for Gaza: Channel grief & outrage into action to stop a genocide. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.Now into the second year of genocide in Gaza, we are overwhelmed with sorrow and outrage. There are no words to describe the devastating pain of the past year in which the Israeli military has killed over 48000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 20,000 children. We know these numbers are not accurate - thousands more are being found under the rubble and so many more will perish due to lack of treatment, medicine, food, water and shelter. The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court have both declared that Israel must stop the genocidal acts being committed on the Palestinian people. And the U.S. government is actively supporting the Israeli military as it wreaks devastation on the over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza threatening the fragile ceasefire agreement. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and B'Tselem have declared that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza. We continue to come together as a political community in our daily half-hour to take action for the 15 months and going forward we will continue Monday through Thursday. Join us as we take collective action to demand an arms embargo to Israel, immediate end to the genocide, a lasting ceasefire and an end to Israeli siege, apartheid, occupation, and oppression of Palestinians and Lebanon. All are welcome. All are needed.

The "artist" responsible for much of Atomwaffen Division's propaganda has been found guilty in Canada and may be in prison for a very long time:

===

Patrick Gordon Macdonald, better known by his pseudonym Dark Foreigner, has been found guilty for participating in the activity of a terrorist group, facilitating terrorist activity, and the commission of offence for a terrorist group.

The verdict was handed down by Justice R Smith in an Ottawa courtroom as Macdonald had elected to have a judge make the ruling rather than a jury.

Smith found that the videos had two purposes: to “recruit new members” and to “promote” the Atomwaffen Division.

The Crown requested that Macdonald be held without bail, while Macdonald’s defence indicated they expected the sentencing to be quite long, pointing that their client has been on bail for the duration of the trial. Justice Smith ruled that Macdonald could remain out of custody until a bail hearing could be held.

Macdonald was previously released on bail after being arrested in July 2023. He entered a plea of not guilty before the court. The maximum sentences for his charges include life in prison, but the Crown has not indicated how much time they intend to ask for.

"There is no consistent source of electricity or water in Gaza, as Israel has shut down everything that might help Palestinians survive. “We suffer when we think about drinking water or moving around in the dark. No one lives like this, but this is our reality now,"
"...hospitals and water desalination stations, which depend on electricity, were already operating on stored fuel before the ceasefire broke down"

@geerlingguy running 3 maxxed out ultra (or strix halo) in a cluster - even rsj would get a charge out of that - how many people served/how much professional work can you crank out on one of these things in one day? (I don't think people appreciate or understand) some of the work like reports and such are generated locally but more bandwidth is better(with ai lighting the way) #req/s #siege #throughput #latency

5 Former #Treasury Secretaries: Our #Democracy Is Under #Siege Robert Rubin, Lawrence Summers, Timothy Geithner, Jacob Lew, Janet Yellen While significant data privacy, cybersecurity, national security threats are gravely concerning, constitutional issues are perhaps even more alarming. We take extraordinary step of writing this piece because we are alarmed about the risks of arbitrary and capricious political control of federal payments, which would be unlawful and corrosive to our democracy.

Начал распробовать переработанного в этом сезоне оперативника Blackbeard. У него отобрали пистолет, но дали раскладной щит вместо щита, который висел на винтовке.

И вот если привыкнуть к таймингам этого щита и метко стрелять без оптики - это разъёб.

P.S. Я не очень хорошо стреляю (особенно без оптики), но вот тут выдался клип, где пострелял нормально и очень видно насколько сильный персонаж стал.
