: "At a military base that now doubles as a detention center in Israel’s Negev desert, an Israeli working at the facility snapped two photographs of a scene that he says continues to haunt him.

Rows of men in gray tracksuits are seen sitting on paper-thin mattresses, ringfenced by barbed wire. All appear blindfolded, their heads hanging heavy under the glare of floodlights.

A putrid stench filled the air and the room hummed with the men’s murmurs, the Israeli who was at the facility told CNN. Forbidden from speaking to each other, the detainees mumbled to themselves.

“We were told they were not allowed to move. They should sit upright. They’re not allowed to talk. Not allowed to peek under their blindfold.”

Guards were instructed “to scream uskot” – shut up in Arabic – and told to “pick people out that were problematic and punish them,” the source added"

People are protesting against the hypocrisy of Netanyahu and wants him to resign.

Protesters took to the streets of several cities across Israel on Saturday, demanding the release of all hostages held in Gaza ahead of Israel’s Memorial Day.

If you got upset at me for pointing out that more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump, in large part because Biden rolled back common sense restrictions that were in place under Trump...

Then you'll hate me pointing out that Trump introduced a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs, and Biden is upping that to 100% tariff.

@mekkaokereke Don't forget why are so cheap - more than mere "innovation"

  • non-existent labor protections, & no real labor unions in Chinese factories = cheap workforce.

  • worst sourcing standards for raw materials = using cheap minerals from regions with & abuses (see recent Lead The Charge rankings)

  • massive subsidies & domestic market protectionism.

IMO - if can help build domestic EV -, good. If they protect interest - bad

Israel's treatment of Palestinian prisoners in this camp is torture. There is no excuse.

' [This] rare testimony from Israelis working at the facility sheds further light on Israel’s conduct as it wages war in Gaza, with fresh allegations of mistreatment. It also casts more doubt on the Israeli government’s repeated assertions that it acts in accordance with accepted international practices and law. '

Can you see the level of brutality Palestinian's are going through, they are being displaced from their homes to an unknown place.

The Israeli military has told residents of central Rafah to evacuate, signalling a major expansion of its military operations in the city and threatening the displacement of hundreds of thousands more people.

Australia votes 'yes' at United Nations as Palestinian push for full membership gathers momentum
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-11/australia-votes-yes-at-un-for-more-palestinian-rights/103833838

This is notable because previously Australian politicians have been cowards and abstained from recognising Palestine as a country — for years, they merely talked-up the possibility of a two-state solution between Israel and mumble at some undefined time in the distant future.

It's also worth noting that Israel is so hellbent on continuing to commit genocide against Palestinian people that Gilad Erdan, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, shredded a copy of the UN Charter. He's so keen to deny Palestinian people human rights that he unilaterally symbolically destroyed human rights for everyone in the world.

Nonsensical, Israel may have breached & isn’t restricting aid supplies, but the US doesn’t have ‘complete information’ to evaluate the assessment & NSC SPOX Kirby said this week that very little aid is moving into Gaza. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68984999

But it added that “the results on the ground, including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions” as to whether the are using them sufficiently.

The report said that conclusion was based in part on the difficulty of collecting reliable information from the #war zone & the way #Hamas operates in densely populated areas. It also stressed that #Israel has begun the process of seeking accountability for possible violations of the #law, a key component in the #UnitedStates assessment about whether to provide #military aid to allies accused of #HumanRights violations.

Netanyahu has lost his ability to think rationally.

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed Israel can "stand alone", after the US warned arms shipments could be stopped if he orders a full-scale invasion of Rafah in Gaza.
