World News@lemmy.world•US military says Gaza Strip pier project is completed, aid to soon flow as Israel-Hamas war rages on
141·2 years ago“You take some flour. We made a floating pier for you.”
“And you take 1 billion dollars in arms to kill those you starve to death.”

World News@lemmy.world•Israel kills more than 500 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7
272·2 years agoI’m kinda surprised the number is as low as 500, considering 35k have been killed in total, by all reports.
If you take into consideration that the West Bank is not the in this “war”, how does this number sound like?

World News@lemmy.world•US intelligence spotted Chinese, Iranian deepfakes in 2020 aimed at influencing US voters
232·2 years agoSo this title claims that
US intelligence spotted Chinese, Iranian deepfakes in 2020 aimed at influencing US voters
After that we get nothing but in more words:
It’s unclear what was depicted in the deepfakes
The NSA declined to comment.
And some bits that kinda contradict the danger implied in the title
The Chinese and Iranian operatives never disseminated the deepfake audio or video publicly
While they didn’t deploy their deepfakes in 2020, Iranian government operatives
At the time, some US officials who reviewed the intelligence were unimpressed, believing it showed China and Iran lacked the capability to deploy deepfakes in a way that would seriously impact the 2020 presidential election
Finally, we arrive to the funniest part:
This story has been updated with additional information.
So the info is that there is no info? And this was written by 3 people? Give us a break CNN
Yes, there is this effort to equate anti-zionism with anti-semitism. Thankfully there have been Jewish people against zionism, since its inception. Btw Meet The ‘Wrong Jew’ The Media Doesn’t Want You To Know Exists, and they say
“Not in our name!”

World News@lemmy.ml•More than 30% of world’s electricity now comes from renewables, report reveals
83·2 years agoObviously I don’t see this as good news because I can’t see how ecology and capitalism can work together, unless it is greenwashing. Environmentalism/ecology/etc want sustainability, capitalism is all about eternal growth of the business, and I don’t see corporations and other financial entities changing their business model? Do you?

115·2 years agoI suppose greenwashing works? in the sense creates favorable stats, not that it helps the environment.
I see what you mean and I feel the same more often than not. On the other hand I think this is part of the authorities’ narrative that wants us to stay home. In reality we got the power and it is visible went we are out in the streets protesting, this genocide for instance. If we didn’t have the power authorities would not exercise so much force to stop us talking, marching or squating gras.

Well it looks there is a list of people detained by the International Criminal Court, not too sure what their positions or titles were tho.

World News@lemmy.ml•Top Secret: In a 2018 letter, Netanyahu asks Qatar to fund Hamas
101·2 years agoIn the link I provided above it says something very similar:
While it had many strains historically, the Zionism that took hold and stands today is a settler-colonial movement, establishing an apartheid state where Jews have more rights than others. Our own history teaches us how dangerous this can be.
Palestinian dispossession and occupation are by design. […]
Apart from that when you say There’s probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you’d agree with I must inform you that this is not the case.

Not if you are a woman that wants to go for the Grand Master title. In that case you have to join the Woman Grandmaster (WGM).

Really?
Well, systemic sexism is complicated, no doubt. You have to decide tho. Complicated or unknown? Cause it can’t be both.











Now that you mentioned maps, I thought of sharing the United Nations one of this region, from September 2023.
It includes details of Isreal’s perimeter fence and shows the few entry points to Gaza, as well as some other chilling details on how Israel controls the state of Palestine.
Btw Gaza and the West Bank are Palestine. The State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, just not by the traditional colonialists (US, Israel, most EU, Australia) and a few more. “Devide-and-conquer” is the name of the game.
[Here are included some more maps, with recent & scary details from UN of the region]
