📲 Esteemed Palestinian author and academic, Dr Ghada Karmi, calls on the world to rise up to end Israel’s genocide and systematic oppression of the Palestinian people—to end its apartheid, ethnic cleansing and colonialism once and for all.

“This is a degree of dehumanisation of the other, which is really pathological. How can this be allowed to happen?! (..) Our aim is a just way to live, don't give up!”

@aral That's not correct, many civilians died in Kursk 2023-24. It's your personal right to side with everyone, but it's not abour siding, if you want to protect the people in a war. That's the difference. Like nuking Israel will not help to save Palestine. Or vice versa. You have civil defence units in ISR who fight for the rights in the West Bank. It's not that easy to pick a side. Only, if you want to sustain front lines.

Last week, Canadian journalist and activist Yves Engler was charged, arrested and jailed for the alleged 'harassment' of an anti-Palestinian 'influencer', Dahlia Kurtz.

After Yves was brought before a judge who seemed sceptical of the grounds for jailing Yves, Yves was released without committing to remain silent.

On the day of Yves' release from prison, Dimitri Lascaris spoke with Yves about the reasons for his imprisonment:

@aral They are no idiots, btw. They have just an opinion, Aral. We should respect that, to not end on the lowest level of communication, as it became the norm between politicians. We can only achieve justice for the victims of both sides in the Ukraine-Russia war, if we accept, that there are Russian civilians fighting for real change, and they need the same protection. Long-range missiles are no solution, particularly not, if you live next to Russian borders, and not overseas.

@aral It's not possible to ignore crimes against humanity #warcrimes of a war party, provided that every member state of international agreements respects the laws As you can see, there are nations breaching rules, so to achieve progress in peace talks, it takes serious efforts of negotiation. If you think, talking means surrender, like the EU expresses it, then you have to continue war - which means against Russia, to lose. If you get rogue like US aginst UN, then you can't call for justice.

Quick remark on #google analytics: It is not true, that every medium/small business in Germany uses it or depends on it. There are many influential CEOs of provider and marketing companies, who decided to hire experts and to develop own tools.

My website is one example: I put a curb on the influence, implemented control elements only to keep the system running in the US. I worked for a SEO agency in Hamburg (not by accident of course), so I could gather insights in practices. I'm not done yet.

📢 Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said during a parliamentary session last week that the Japanese government was making an “earnest effort” to accept “ill or injured” people from #gaza as part of a “medical evacuation.”

He added that the government would also launch a special program for students from Gaza to study in Japan.

📢 Syrian citizens in and near the demilitarised zone in the #golanheights have complained of Israeli encroachment on their land as well as checkpoints, housing raids, and road closures. Israel’s military claims it is acting to eliminate threats against its citizens.

ISR forces initially declared that the incursions would be temporary, but the building of bases brings that claim into question.
