Nachdem die israelische Polizei neun Soldat*innen der israelischen Armee wegen Vorwürfen von schwerer Misshandlung an palästinensischen Inhaftierten im Gefangenenlager 'Sde Teiman' (wo es schon zuvor öfter zu Misshandlung und Folter an Gefangenen gekommen sein soll) in Gewahrsam genommen hat, drehen Ultranationalist*innen und andere Rechtsradikale aus der israelischen Politik und Gesellschaft durch. Eine größere Gruppe Rechtsradikaler versuchte dabei sogar eine Militärbasis zu stürmen, um die mutmaßlichen Folterer frei zu bekommen.

Recherchen des +972 Magazins zeigen, wie Amazon, Google und Microsoft dem israelischen Militär Dienstleistungen und Kapazitäten zur Verfügung stellen, um ein Massenüberwachungsprogramm und Angriffe in Gaza durchzusetzen.

'According to multiple sources, the exponential capacity of the AWS public cloud system allows the army to have “endless storage” for holding intelligence on almost “everyone” in Gaza. One source who used the cloud-based system during the current war described making “orders from Amazon” for information while carrying out their operational tasks, and working with two screens — one connected to the army’s private systems, and the other connected to AWS.

Military sources emphasized to +972 and Local Call that the scope of intelligence collected from the surveillance of all Palestinian residents of Gaza is so large that it cannot be stored on military servers alone. In particular, according to intelligence sources, much more extensive storage capabilities and processing power were needed to keep billions of audio files (as opposed to just textual information or metadata), which compelled the army to turn to the cloud services offered by tech companies.'

Palestinian Healthcare Workers Tortured

„Isralei forces have arbitrarily detained Palestinian healthcare workers in Gaza since hostilities began in October 2023, deported them to detention facilities in Israel, and allegedly tortured and ill-treated them, Human Rights Watch said today. The detention of healthcare workers in the context of the Israeli military’s repeated attacks on hospitals in Gaza has contributed to the catastrophic degradation of the besieged territory’s healthcare system…“

It is horrible

Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old volunteer with the anti-occupation International Solidarity Movement, died in hospital on Friday after being shot in the head during a protest in Beita, near Nablus, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Witnesses said she was shot at by Israeli soldiers positioned in a nearby field after “minor clashes” broke out.....

Yes, of course it is. Isn't that stating the obvious? Things are burning and exploding, contents are spilled on the ground and exposed to the air. Even if the weapons were somehow environmentally safe, the damage caused by war is not.
I want to know: Who is more motivated to act because of the environmental crisis than because of the genocide of Palestinians?
@autonomysolidarity @palestine @israel

@sloanlance @autonomysolidarity Yes, it's really obvious. And yet there are a lot of people who don't get it (or are doing the best to ignore it).

Just look at reactions to @gretathunberg calling out things like capitalism, wars and her showing support for Palestine (people not understanding how these things relate to her original message about the #climate, or even calling her antisemitic).

There is a lot of #greenwashing going on too and the #Greens in Germany and Austria are...

@sloanlance @autonomysolidarity ...among the biggest supporters of Netanyahu and #militarisation in general. Their members and voters now blindly support every decision these parties make.

Sadly a lot of people are falling for #propaganda like that:
