The United Nations said nearly all humanitarian aid movements to the Gaza Strip through the Israeli-controlled Kerem Salem crossing were denied over the past two days, severely limiting the delivery of essential supplies.

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said only fuel was collected, while other aid remained blocked from entering Gaza.

The crossing is currently the only operational entry point after the closure of Rafah crossing and Zikim crossing since the US-Israeli attacks on Iran on 28 February started.

Nieuw massacontract met Microsoft in de maak voor gemeenten

Ontluisterend, dit interview in @Trouw met de Palestijnse theoloog Munther Isaac met een klinkklare veroordeling van de PKN: “Ze bezoeken ons, maar luisteren niet als we over Israëls apartheid en genocide vertellen. Wat heeft dit nog voor zin?” Inderdaad: “De kerk is er niet om neutraal te zijn en gevoeligheden te vermijden”, zie Bonhoeffer…

Each dot in this picture is a Nazi-fascist massacre in Italy that happened between 1943 and 1945.

This is the result of a project that lasted years, summarized by the Atlante delle Stragi Nazifasciste https://www.straginazifasciste.it/

6000 of them, the whole peninsula is covered in red. Almost every village from Naples to Bozen has at least a monument to keep the memory of the massacred alive.

Note that this doesn’t include battlefield or other warfare acts. Only acts of violence against the civilian population. Which resulted in more than 24,000 deaths in two years. More than 33 civilians killed every day.

This is the memory that is worth keeping alive now that the world is again sleepwalking towards those horrors.

This is why even a bulwark of liberalism like Popper said that freedom of speech and action doesn’t apply to fascists.

This is why grandsons of partisans keep repeating that the only good fascist is a dead one, and that violence against them should not only be tolerated but encouraged.

This is why we keep repeating that you can’t just talk or vote fascism out - it never leaves without a lot of blood.

And then those filthy pigs also dare to play the part of the victims when we invoke violence against them.

And then they keep repeating stale (and utterly false) refrains like “but Mussolini also did some good things”.
