Coming to Mastodon from Twitter feels like busting in the door loudly brandishing a half drunk bottle of tequila and finding everyone sitting in horrified silence holding cups of tea and academic papers

Gideon Levy: »Opinion | Free All Hostages – Israeli and #Palestinian«

»There is no campaign more just than the one aimed at releasing #Israel's hostages held in #Gaza. Their incarceration is criminal.
And yet, this campaign is tinged with hypocrisy and immorality. It differentiates between blood and blood, between human being and human being.«

Bitter analysis by Lisa Lerer, NYT
Donald Trump told Americans exactly what he planned to do.
He would use military force against his political opponents. He would fire thousands of career public servants. He would deport millions of immigrants in military-style roundups. He would crush the independence of the Department of Justice, use government to push public health conspiracies and abandon America’s allies abroad. (.) And, when asked to give him the power to do all of that, voters said yes.
At its peak, the system managed to generate 37,000 people as potential human targets,” said B. “But the numbers changed all the time, bc it depends on where you set the bar of what a Hamas operative is. There were times when a Hamas operative was defined more broadly, and then the machine started bringing us all kinds of civil defense personnel, police officers, on whom it would be a shame to waste bombs. They help the H government,but they don’t really endanger soldiers. https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/
‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza

The Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gazans as suspects for assassination, using an AI targeting system with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties, +972 and Local Call reveal.

“In a day without targets [whose feature rating was sufficient to authorize a strike], we attacked at a lower threshold. We were constantly being pressured: ‘Bring us more targets.’ They really shouted at us. We finished [killing] our targets very quickly.”

More food for the ICJ proceedings:
"Moreover, the Israeli army systematically attacked the targeted individuals while they were in their homes — usually at night while their whole families were present — rather than during the course of military activity. According to the sources, this was because, from what they regarded as an intelligence standpoint, it was easier to locate the individuals in their private houses."

Munich had the numbers (100.000 to 200.000) in its march against far-right politicians, true (https://digitalcourage.social/@SBartsch/111800100037405737). But you have to acknowledge, Bonn had the music :-)

Angehängt: 1 Bild Einfach noch mal wow: Wohl bis zu 2,5% der #Bayern versammeln sich völlig friedlich (ohne Angriffe/Nötigungen/Blockaden) und ohne zweideutige Symbole (keine Gewaltaufrufe/Pranger/Galgen) in der Landeshauptstadt, um sich gegen allen rechten Hass und jede Form von Intoleranz zu stellen. 🙏🙏🙏 #München #muc2101 #m2101 #fff #gegenrechts #demo #demokratie
