middleeasteye: Forty years after the Sabra and Shatila massacre, Ellen Seigel a Jewish American nurse at the site of the massacre, discusses treating the wounded, Israeli complicity and US indifference.

Siegel began her nursing career in the 1960s, an era in US history almost Image
synonymous with social change. Her career took her to the Gaza Hospital, an 11-story medical centre that overlooked the Sabra and Shatila camps for Palestinian refugees in west Beirut, Lebanon.

She found herself in the middle of one of the worst massacres of Palestinians in
history. When a right-wing Lebanese militia killed hundreds in the two adjoining refugee camps, as Israeli troops watched on.

On the 40th anniversary she recounts how she and other nurses struggled to take care of the hundreds of wounded Palestinians, how she herself was nearly

IReturn – Navigate Palestine, Imagine The Future, is an upgraded version of the famous trilingual iNakba App first launched in 2014.

play.google.com/store/apps/det…
The App is designed to enhance understanding of the Palestinian Nakba, it’s manifestations in the landscape and the possibility for redress.

With the iReturn app, Zochrot aims to use technology to re-tell a suppressed history and to reveal Israel’s hidden landscape of ethnic
cleansing and forced expulsions. It gives users and beneficiaries a tool through which they could learn that history but also envision a just, viable, and peaceful solution to the ongoing crisis facing Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The Trouble With 'Western Values' ls That Westerners Don't Value Them

Caitlin Johnstone
The trouble with "western values" is that westerners don't value them. They think they value them, but all that reverence for free expression and holding power to account with the light of truth goes right out the window the second they see someone saying something that sharply
differs from what their rulers and their
propagandists have told them to think. Then they want that person silenced and shut down. In truth, the most forceful critics of the western empire actually
embody these western values infinitely more than empire apologists do. lt is the

EU's TERRIFYING Mass Surveillance Plan

A leaked document from the EU, proposing new regulation, describes the most sophisticated mass surveillance machinery
ever deployed outside of China and the USSR.
The proposal is for a new mass surveillance system that will read private text messages, not to detect CSAM, but to detect grooming'
It would mandate scanning of encrypted messages for CSAM material.
Once you open up "machines reading your text messages" for any purpose, there
are no limits. Matthew Green, renowned security expert and cryptography professor, says:
"Let me be clear what that means: to detect grooming' is not simply searching for known CSAM. It isn't using Al to detect
new CSAM, which is also on the table.
It's running algorithms reading

Ahmad Barclay, 2020.
Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You don’t even know the names of these Arab villages, and I don’t blame you, because these geography books no longer exist ... Nahalal arose in the place of Mahlul,
Gvat in the place of Jibta, Sarid in the place of Haneifa, and Kfar-Yehoshua in the place of Tel-Shaman. There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.
Moshe Dayan, Israeli defence minister (quoted in Ha’aretz, 4 April 1969).
Contrary to Dayan’s words, the geography books continue to exist. I discovered that the Israeli national library had made available a series of highly detailed 1940s maps—at 1:20,000 scale—from British Mandate “Survey of Palestine” through a map viewer on its website…knowing how

“…is it not evident that the Book was written by immediate ancestors of the Fellahin of Palestine? Are not the Fellahin themselves and their ruins the best proof of this ? ....the only wish of the Fellahin was to live in peace in the home of his forefathers, carrying on
traditions, cementing his attachment to the soil..... Thus were traditional sites and ceremonies handed down, and thus are we able to study the immovable characteristics of the Fellahin of Palestine, — characteristics which may perhaps (who can say?) be about to succumb now, as
the overflowing populations of the Occident strive to fill the uninhabited corners of the earth and overthrow traditions which have resisted foreign influence for thousands of years." -
