A good article from Ben Rieff (deputy editor of +972 - a publication worth a look at)

‘Except, he very much is[the face of Israel - my addition]. In fact, there is no one who more plainly epitomises today’s Israel than Itamar Ben-Gvir – and it is high time the international community woke up to that reality.’

#Israel #Murder #Genocide #Brutality #Normalisation

The #normalisation of #surveillance keeps producing grotesque products and services. Now, a pasta brand and a non-profit #history group are cooperating to record dinner conversations, utilising #AI #tech while they are at it [1]. I speculate that this is because some manager felt they need to keep up with times.

I’ve got a bad feeling that Russia won’t stop, Israel/USA won’t stop, and the war crimes will become so common nobody will pay attention anymore.

We will see attacks on drinking water & sewage. Perhaps even poisoning of wells. And one of these days it will come back at us, revenge is part of warfare.

Middle age warfare is back. Fuck Putin. Fuck Netanyahu. Fuck Trump. Fuck Hegseth. Fuck you all.

#ClimateDiary Spain and Portugal hit by third deadly storm in two weeks.

Ongoing UK floods, etc, etc.

Reflecting on
1. How rapidly things have deteriorated- when we started #ClimateDiary 3 years ago, we did not yet have constant extreme weather (in Global North at least).

2. How quickly, awfully, we get used to this. Weather events as main news items: completely normal now. So much #normalisation, of course, in HOW it’s all reported.

#ShiftingBaseline syndrom

The reason #Israel is still killing people in #Gaza on a daily basis is because it wants people to know that they are NOT safe, that there is NO RETURN to a regular life. It is to make their lives unbearable and slowly cleanse them from the lands.

This is a #genocide in slow motion and the 'international community', that is, states all over the world, are turning a blind eye.

There should be no 'return to normality', no normalisation of a state which commits a genocide; not for imperial- and Nazi-Germany, not for the settler-colonial United States and Canada, not for colonial Netherlands, nor for Ethiopia and the genocide in Tigray, Myanmar on the Rohinga, or any other genocide-committing country. So neither for Israel.

'#Normalisation' of Israel at this stage would mean the acceptance of aggressive international warfare, the occupation and theft of land and the continued killing of people who refuse to submit.

Démonstration éclatante de la #banalisation et de la #normalisation du #racisme le plus crasse, non seulement aux #USA, mais aussi progressivement en #Europe.

Bon, il faut dire que les autres digues sautent aussi les unes après les autres à un rythme effréné. Désormais, sont visés les #pédales ( #lgbtqiaphobie), les pouffes poilues ( #sexisme et #antiféminisme ), et les #cassos, tous ces parasites coordonnés par #Soros et les #Rotchild pour détruire la civilisation.
