After hours spent carefully preparing her cakes, Abrar Abdu stood stunned in silence before her oven.

In her small, darkened workshop in #Gaza City, the only light came from her phone’s torch, illuminating more than 27 ruined cakes - the result of a sudden #power cut and a faulty oven.

Abdu, 34, who runs a small cake business in the #Palestinian enclave, was forced to apologise to customers after failing to deliver their orders, refund every payment and absorb the full cost of the wasted ingredients.

Five pro-#Palestinian activists have appeared in court over an attack on an #Israeli arms company in #Germany, charged with causing approximately €1m of damage.

Prosecutors say the defendants, aged 25 to 40, trespassed and yelled pro-Palestinian statements as they destroyed office equipment, sensitive measuring devices and smashed windows at a site linked to #ElbitSystems in the southern city of Ulm.

The activists published videos online in which they claimed responsibility for the attack, which they said was aimed at drawing attention to Germany’s support for #Israel and its #military actions in #Gaza.

Rabbi who boasts of bulldozing Palestinian homes will light torch for #Israel’s national day

#AvrahamZarbiv is one of 14 people chosen for their “extraordinary contribution to society and the state”, alongside a scientist, a Michelin-starred chef, a leading doctor, members of the security forces and entrepreneurs.

A reservist who drives an armoured bulldozer, Zarbiv rose to prominence through videos documenting his personal campaign of destruction in #Gaza, often accompanied by inflammatory rhetoric.

“You will have nothing left,” he declares in one voiceover, as the camera pans across a landscape of shattered buildings. “We will flatten you and destroy you.”

It remains unclear whether the ceasefire between #Israel and #Lebanon that took effect Thursday will hold. In any case, Dimi Reider argued, it’s unlikely to stop Israel’s expansionist ambitions. Efforts to establish buffer zones and “natural borders,” he wrote, suggest that ongoing ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon is far from over.

#Israel says Thunberg more influential ‘antisemite’ than Fuentes [!!]
Ministry of Diaspora Affairs released an analysis of 10 'prominent influencers in the global anti-semitic and anti-Zionist arena'

Swedish climate activist #GretaThunberg is the world’s second most dangerous antisemite, several spots ahead of #WhiteNationalist #NickFuentes, according to a new report from the #Israeli government.

As evidence of Thunberg’s antisemitism, the Israeli government pointed to her use of “terms such as ‘genocide,’ ‘siege’ and ‘mass starvation’ in reference to Israeli actions in Gaza.”

Many of these views are well within the American mainstream. A Quinnipac poll from August found that half of American voters believe that Israel is committing a genocide.
