For the third day in a row, I haven't been able to provide lunch for my children. 💔 We're surviving on tea and biscuits only. We urgently need $200 to buy food and cooking gas. If you can donate any amount, or even just share this post, it would mean so much to us.🙏 gofund.me/d0cc0587 #Israel #Palestine #Gaza @apenkop @sasha @denissalem.

In shift, Trump praises #Zelensky, says he will let #Ukraine build Patriot missiles
#Trump kicked off the second day of the #NATO summit in Turkey Wednesday by restating his “need” to control #Greenland, blasting #Europe #allies as “hopeless” & threatening countries that did not support the #US - #Israel #war on #Iran.
Israeli occupation soldiers assaulted an elderly Palestinian man and several women today east of the town of Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
Question: Has chaos.social taken any action against the moderator who muted accounts that are Gaza Verified? I mean, you understand what an inhumane action this is, yes?
“These accounts are verified as belonging to people suffering genocide in Palestine. I will now mute them.”

@kali @david We get a lot of reports for spam/donation requests in general. A couple of months ago, we muted accounts with a gazaverified link in their bio -- we reversed this decision when a user pointed this out to us, and have since taken great care to *not* take any moderation action against accounts with the gazaverified profile link, literally part of our mod checklist.
(I can't guarantee that we never get this wrong, but we're happy to fix mistakes if people talk to us.)
UAW delegates voted to divest the union’s reported $400,000 in Israel Bonds, making it the first major U.S. union to do so. Organizers say it’s a victory for international solidarity and a sign of the working class's growing rejection of Israel.

This week offered a clear example of how elected officials in Washington, D.C., bend their own rules to keep weapons flowing to Israel. Political results outside Washington this week also showed us why this may soon change.

The Israeli settler movement and its allies in the government have submitted a plan to build 100 new outposts in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank. The move would effectively eliminate the Oslo Accords.
Spain becomes the first EU state to blacklist Palantir, the US firm whose AI targeting software has powered Israel's mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza.
“While I was in Beirut another doctor told me the story of a child from Gaza who, after coming to Lebanon, learned that a man had died a natural death. The child did not understand. He did not know that death could come this way. It had to be explained to him, that people die of old age. The only cause of death the child knew was Israel. And he knew it well.”
Many people outside still can't believe what's happening in Gaza,
or think it's confined to a specific area — and we've seen this a lot on social media.
But the truth?
The aggression has destroyed Gaza from north to south.
Gaza today isn't a city; #Gaza today is the remnants of life.
There's no "living" in Gaza… only a "struggle to survive."
Houses are rubble.
Streets are graveyards.
Electricity, water, internet… are now memories and lost luxuries.
Hospitals? Paralyzed.
Schools? They've become temporary shelters, or they've been destroyed.
Electricity?
Since the first days of the war, it's been cut off.
A very small segment of the population has access to solar power, and it's become a resource for people… but at a price.
Can you imagine?
Your phone battery is dead? You have to pay 2 shekels to recharge it.
Power banks? 3 shekels.
A large battery? 7 shekels.
Everything has a price, even charging, even electricity.
And the prices? Insane and unbelievable!
The internet?
There's no home internet.
There are temporary cards sold by people who have electricity and internet.
The card costs between 1 and 5 shekels (half a dollar to a dollar and a half), depending on the time and speed.
And the cost of living?
A kilo of tomatoes = 20 shekels ($5.50)
A kilo of cucumbers = 25 shekels ($7)
A kilo of potatoes = 50 shekels ($13 – if you can even find them) A kilo of eggplant = 30 shekels ($8)
A single cigarette? From 50 to 120 shekels ($13–$32!)
A loaf of bread? Almost nonexistent, and flour is running out.
Some people have resorted to smoking wild herbs, adding nicotine, carbonation, sugar, and sometimes pesticides and toxic substances… just to give it a flavor!
So, how are people surviving?
Some have nothing.
Some cook over wood fires.
Some eat one meal a day or less.
Some grow parsley or lettuce, or anything to stave off starvation.
Some make soup with water and onions…
And some don't eat at all.
No food, no gas, not enough flour.
Prices are sky-high, and people have nothing.
A kilo of ordinary vegetables is now more expensive than in European cities.
And a single cigarette is more expensive than a large meal for an entire family!
The water?
It's polluted, salty, and undrinkable.
People filter it using primitive methods, boil it, or drink it contaminated because “there's no alternative.”
The gas?
It's been cut off for over a month and a half.
People cook over wood fires, charcoal, or anything that will ignite.
The health situation?
There aren't enough medicines, no well-equipped hospitals, no medical equipment, and not enough staff.
And people get sick… and wait for death in silence.
Israel is stoking a financial crisis in the West Bank by withholding funds from the PA. Among the sectors most affected is education, where teachers' salaries have been cut, and classes have been shuttered. The impacts might last a generation.

"This data is used by the Israeli military to identify targets for airstrikes, arrests, and blackmail from the entire Palestinian population. It is also used as training data to build AI-targeting programs. These programs invent arbitrary justifications to murder non-combatants, intentionally adding civilian workers to the Israeli military’s generated “target bank“; the programs also facilitate massacres of entire families at once."
This will prove to be interesting. The semanticians who create Israel’s messaging are among the best in the world. They have conflated #Judaism and #Israel in the minds of many people, so they can claim that any criticism of Israel is #antisemitism.
Which is, of course, absurd as a logical argument, but very effective messaging.
The #IHRA declaration seems innocuous, until you read the examples, wherein they say that criticism of Israel is antisemitism. The #BMA was correct in their vote.
People under 50 may not have even met anyone who experienced WW2. Israel doesn’t have the same emotional weight that it held 80 years ago. They squandered it straight away with the King David Massacre, and they just kept killing, in front of three generations of people who’ve barely studied WW2. GenX and younger have never seen an Israel that wasn’t the aggressor.
Yet, none of *us* conflate the two. We don’t blame Jews. We blame Israel, where the blame belongs.
The British Medical Association (BMA) has voted to drop the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, saying it had a “chilling effect” on free speech in the workplace.

BDS advocacy platforms urge activists to take immediate action against Google after it reportedly blocked or suspended the Android application “Boycott Wall Assistant,” a tool designed to help users identify and avoid products linked to companies supporting Israel.
They added that the removal of the tool is intended to limit digital boycott movements and restrict consumer awareness campaigns related to the war in Gaza Strip.
Activists also call for coordinated online action in response, accusing the company of enabling censorship of boycott-related initiatives.
