The Quebec born and raised ex-Canadian Armed Forces (Afghanistan veteran) Canada-USA Citizen killed in the Israel airstrike yesterday had a wife and 18-month old son.
His (American) father: “"In my mind, this was a targeted killing of aid workers who happened to be foreign," Flickinger's father said in an interview with CBC News Wednesday afternoon. "
Lyonel Perabo speaks with four Witches and Pagans in Israel about their individual experiences and disparate opinions about the October 7th attacks and Israel’s war on Gaza.
The terrible human toll in Gaza has many causes.
A chilling investigation by +972 highlights efficiency:
An engineer: “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed.”
An AI outputs "100 targets a day". Like a factory with murder delivery:
"According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”"
"The third is “power targets,” which includes high-rises and residential towers in the heart of cities, and public buildings such as universities, banks, and government offices."
A person who took part in previous Israeli offensives in Gaza said:
“If they would tell the whole world that the [Islamic Jihad] offices on the 10th floor are not important as a target, but that its existence is a justification to bring down the entire high-rise with the aim of pressuring civilian families who live in it in order to put pressure on terrorist organizations, this would itself be seen as terrorism. So they do not say it.”
#IDI stands for the Intelligence Division of the Israel army. Here is some praise of technology usage:
May 2021 "is the first time that the intelligence services have played such a transformative role at the tactical level.
This is the result of a strategic shift made by the IDI [in] recent years. Revisiting its role in military operations, it established a comprehensive, “one-stop-shop” intelligence war machine, gathering all relevant players in intelligence planning and direction, collection, processing and exploitation, analysis and production, and dissemination process (PCPAD)".

"Meta’s content moderation policies and systems have increasingly silenced voices in support of Palestine on Instagram and Facebook in the wake of the hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups."
Fotografen beim Hamas-Überfall: "Das sind Mittäter, keine Journalisten"
Waren Pressefotografen vorab über die Pläne der Hamas informiert und bei dem Angriff am 7. Oktober auf Israel direkt dabei? Die Kriegsfotografin Ursula Meissner hält das für möglich. Kein unabhängiger Journalist wäre von der Hamas akzeptiert worden.
A population map of the whole area of #Gaza and the surrounding area, made by using #EarthObservation data from the EU. There really are many people there and they have nowhere to go right now.
The Israel-Hamas War Is Drowning X in Disinformation
Experts believe the proliferation of disinformation on X around the Israel-Hamas conflict this weekend is largely the result of changes Musk has made to the platform over the past year, including his decision to fire most of the people responsible for tackling #disinformation
