I want to clarify: As a feminist I take sexual violence seriously. I’ve investigated systematic rape in Bosnia and Rwanda, and cases in Syria. #Israel has made allegations of serious sexual crimes against #Hamas. These need to be investigated and, once proven, punished. But this needs to be done seriously, with evidence.

Today @sherylsandberg the former Facebook executive, held a conference at the UK House of Lords on Hamas sexual violence. This is a lobbying effort rather than an attempt to get at the truth.

Google’s censorship of high-resolution maps in Israel-occupied Palestinian territories hinders the ability of humanitarian and human rights groups from documenting home demolitions, settlement growth, and land loss. In Gaza, it’s preventing accuracy in documenting war crimes and human rights violations.
Google is inconsistently applying their own internal rules on mapping. In other conflict areas, such as eastern Ukraine, Google responsively and quickly put up new imagery on Google Earth.
