This @theintercept piece documents how Israel's asylum system coerces queer Palestinians into intelligence collaboration under threat of deportation. The article's subject, a gay man who fled a death bounty from his own family, was trapped between occupation and "protection" that came with strings attached.

Indeed Israel brands itself as an LGBTQ+ haven, Startup Nation, the army with "purity of arms" and "the most moral in the world." Is it though? All marketing, not reality.

LGBTQ "safe haven”: Antigay violence at record highs in Israel. The Aguda's 2025 report documented 432 physical attacks, lynch ambushes via Grindr, and a 127% spike in violent incidents. The government cut LGBTQ funding by 75%. No civil marriage exists. The minister in charge refuses to work with "gay organizations."

"Startup Nation": High tech employs ~8% of workers while 20% of Israelis live below the poverty line. New startup formation fell 45% in a decade. 8,300 tech workers left in 10 months.

"Purity of arms" / "Most moral army": IDF's own ethics code co-author Asa Kasher called the slogan "flimsy" and "dangerous." Former defense minister Moshe Ya'alon said the IDF is "not the most moral army." 88% of war crime investigations closed with no action.

Each brand presents a sanitized, exceptionalist image that collapses under scrutiny. The claims are weaponized as shields, and the gap between marketing and reality is widest for those with the least power. Remember Wix: "Unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans."

Pendant ce temps la privatisation rampante des universités continue, organisée par celleux qui devraient les protéger, mais sont devenus par arrivisme politique de zélés petits factotum du talibanisme libéral.

Des nouvelles de la #StartUpNation : le 996 :

"Sans mentionner explicitement le « 996 », ce rythme de travail consistant à travailler de 9 heures à 21 heures, six jours par semaine, certains dirigeants de start-up en France en adoptent déjà la philosophie et n’hésitent pas à s’en vanter sur les réseaux sociaux : travail le week-end, disponibilité étendue, mise à distance de toute vie extérieure à l’entreprise."

Et le droit du travail, on en parle ?

Pendant que des posts de profs sont supprimés et que les urgences débordent comme la cabine de bateau des Marx Brothers, la Start Up Nation va bien.

Ici un article de #Mediapart sur le scandale de la société Ÿnsect, une société de production de larves d’insecte qui a englouti 170 millions d'argent public, et qui a grassement rémunéré patrons et consultants, mais qui n'a jamais pu avoir un chiffre d'affaire supérieur à celui d'une petite boulangerie, et qui vient donc d'être liquidée. Les employés, malade de travailler dans des conditions insalubres, et qui avaient déjà subi des licenciements économiques, n'ont plus qu'à aller repointer chez Pôle, larvaires.
