  1. Report: "There’s a World Bank fund that was supposed to hold billions for Gaza's reconstruction. The balance? Zero."

    "And at least some of the money that was supposed to go to the fund [has been] diverted into a private JP Morgan account."

    Who controls the account, why does it exist & how are the funds being used?

  2. Interview: "Silicon Valley billionaires’ war on democracy"

    "A small circle of Silicon Valley billionaires & venture capitalists have concluded that democracy is in their way — & that they should be governing in its place."

    "Their fringe ideologies [are now] in the White House." DOGE was one, cutting USAID, another.

    “They have so much money, they can turn these weird ideas into policy & cause tremendous damage.”

  3. Israeli general says Gaza should remain ‘destroyed for generations’

    Ret Maj Gen Giora Eiland said that "rebuilding Gaza would run against Israeli interests. Israel has no interest in Gaza being rebuilt, it is better for us that it be destroyed for generations to come."

    I made this audio collage about #ChatControl using Beethoven's "Ode To Joy", a sample from The Simpsons and quotes by Edward Snowden.

    The European anthem played on the heavily out of tune guitar is inspired by Jimi Hendrix' version of the US anthem and is representing how chat control damages European values.

  6. Report: "Global Sumud Flotilla Activists Detail Beatings, Electric Shocks & Other Abuse in Israeli Detention"

    "Six activists produced medical records documenting serious harm: fractured ribs, broken vertebrae, a shattered tailbone, a gunshot wound & a collapsed lung".

    Israeli forces also shot activists with rubber bullets & shocked them with Tasers.

  7. No surprise that Netanyahu rejected US-backed Gaza plan

    "Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti says Netanyahu’s rejection of the US-backed Gaza plan is no surprise, arguing Israel has repeatedly violated past agreements."

    "He says the real test is whether the US & Western governments will hold Israel accountable."

  8. Interview: "Israel aims to make Palestine disappear physically, economically, culturally and politically”.

    Fmr pres of Ireland, Mary Robinson, says weapons decommissioning "does not happen before a withdrawal of troops or before x, y, z happens."

    "That happens as part of a process. It took... 12 years for the full decommisioning of the IRA".

  9. "Gaza’s Board of Pieces"

    "Trump’s peace plan for Gaza is a mirage, a conjuring trick in which peace is unilaterally declared as Israel seizes more Palestinian land & brings the genocide to its grim conclusion."

    "There is no ceasefire in Gaza. There is no functioning “Board of Peace.” There is no roadmap to ending the genocide or mechanism to create a Palestinian state"

    Israel refuses Trump's conditions.

  10. Analysis: So-called pressure from the US on Israel's occupation of Gaza is no more than words:

    "Concrete pressure would mean ending arms transfers & aid."

    Netanyahu has rejected Trump's plan - which is for *simultaneous* disarmament of Hamas & withdrawal of Israeli forces - in order to keep hardline domestic support in the run up to the election.

  11. When Trump said his so-called 'peace' plan "was a critical step toward a new Palestinian government that would work closely with the board"...

    ...here's what that means: The new Palestinian government is defined "by its institutional subordination to a body chaired for life by an American president."

    That is not sovereignty. It is "colonial guardianship, repackaged for the 21st century."

  12. "Israel’s new administrative zones seek to erase the Palestinian cause and force mass displacement"

    "Projects such as 'Green Rafah' are designed to create isolated cantons under total Israeli administrative & security control."

    With this framework, "Israel leaves Palestinians with only three choices: Either they fully submit to Israeli policies, face death or imprisonment if they resist, or emigrate.”

  37. The fiasco of #EuropeanUnion. A bunch of extra privileged people who make profits doing, literally, their luxury lives. No taxes, no control on subsidies by private companies and lobbies. Nothing.

  38. Climate crisis wipes out EU's economic growth.

    Brutal summer set to cost EU economy €180 billion this year — equivalent to 1 % of GDP, which is all the growth expected in 2026.

    “Every year adaptation without mitigation is a year borrowed against a hotter baseline.”

  40. The Packing and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) becomes effective August 12.

    Indeed, it promotes the 5 Rs of the circular economy.. but get ready to register in each Member State where you sell - and pay an authorized representative for the privilege, too!

    99.8% of the 34 Million EU businesses are SMEs. PPWR makes it too expensive for them to sell across borders because 27 bureaucracies are not willing to give up on their national systems.

  43. A leaked photo has been shared online showing an Israeli soldier boasting about the detention and humiliation of Nadi Maarouf, 63, and Ali Maarouf, 60.

    Journalist Younis Tirawi revealed that soldiers from Battalion 92 of the Kfir Brigade used the two men as human shields for several days before releasing them near the al-Tawam junction, north of Gaza City, then shooting them on 9 November 2024.

    I'm obviously too much of an outlier and so is Spain. I make an effort to search for 🇪🇺 content whereas for my bar crew, they just ask me/or we react to what's on the tv above the bar. My local paper often has entire dossiers about EU topics, at least in the Sunday print edition I buy.

  47. The EU report is detailed and gives an impression that a 3°C planet would be harsh but manageable under the same institutions.
    The report does not wonder about unknown unknowns. It does not address supply-chain disruption, financial contagion or people displacement. It lives in a fancy Fortress Europe.

    The report also never mentions #AMOC once, even as the evidence for the risk of its collapse to Europe hardens and Iceland starts treating it as a national security threat:
