jewishvoiceforpeace: @Google punished an anti-Zionist Jewish worker for demanding the company end its contract with the Israeli military.
Google's $1.2 billion Project Nimbus contract — signed while the Israeli military bombed Gaza last May — helps the Israeli government and
military surveil Palestinians, expand illegal settlements, and inflict violence on Palestinians under occupation.
It’s wrong to silence workers for standing with Palestinians. Workers should be free to protest contracts that enable state violence without fear of retaliation.
But, as Ariel writes, Google can make this situation right and abide by its founding motto — "don't be evil" — by ending its deadly contract NOW.
To support Google and Amazon workers' demand to end their companies' $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli military,
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

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." -

electronicintifada: Israel’s high court approved the forced expulsion of more than 1,000 Palestinians from eight villages in the Masafer Yatta area of the southern West Bank overnight Wednesday.
If Israel carries through with the forcible transfer, it will be one of the single
largest expulsions of Palestinians since it occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 1967.
It will also be a war crime, despite the creative legal analysis put forth by the Israeli judges who signed off on the decision and who may be liable for prosecution
by the International Criminal Court.
That tribunal is currently investigating alleged war crimes perpetrated in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip since 2014.
In 2018, Fatou Bensouda, the court’s former chief prosecutor, warned Israel that “extensive destruction of property
Since 1967, no Palestinian has entered through Bab Al-Magharbeh (the Moroccan gate) which worshippers used to enter into Al-Aqsa Mosque, passing through the Al-Magharbeh neighborhood. Today, it became a gate for settlers’ intrusions into Al-Aqsa. Do you know the story behind it?
