The Israeli army spox acknowledges that the strategic balloon system has been attacked and damaged
He adds that there is no compromise to the army's abilities to detect incoming missile threats, and that the system was not operational yet
📝 The system was used several times over Lebanon for tests, and its loss is both a financial loss and an even bigger operational one too when it would have been needed most during a serious damage to the army's radar and detection abilities during a big war.
Hezbullah to release footage of its attack on the strategic Israeli army Sky Dew radar.
The remarkable detail is that they were able to successfully fly a drone over the base and take HQ footage of it!

BREAKING: 🔥 🔥
“What is the point of having power," she says, "if you will not use it to stop crimes against humanity?”
Jewish Presidential appointee Lily Greenberg Call resigned in protest at its refusal to stop arming Israel. It's an astonishing letter.
Update: a few minutes after tweeting this, her X account was suspended 🤨

Sigh. Seriously now, no bad faith. Why do I feel like we completely miss each others intentions? Is this my poor skill with English? Culture clash? Different wave length?
Because I feel like you interpret 80% of my posts in the way that wasn't intentional on my part.
Full text of the resignation letter of Lily Greenberg Call, the first Jewish Biden appointee to resign over war in Gaza:
Dear Secretary Haaland,
I joined the Biden Administration because I believe in fighting for a better America, for a future where Americans can thrive: one with economic prosperity, a healthy planet, and equal rights for all people. I have dedicated my career to candidates who I believed would further this vision.

I am committed to creating a world where this does not happen — and this cannot be done from within the Biden Administration.
My choice to leave is not a reflection of this office or the Department. I have felt supported by many individuals here, but I do not feel supported by the policies and actions of this Administration.
12/13
I have the utmost respect for my colleagues at the Department who have given so much of themselves to doing the good work of preserving our public lands and strengthening Indian Country, and the many public servants across the federal government. I urge you all to take a stand for Palestinian lives. All of our futures depend on this.
Respectfully,
Lily Greenberg Call

Interview to a Jewish human rights lawyer who documented the settlers blocking and destroying aid bound to Gaza. She even tried to stop them, risking her own life. Settlers get the information and backing from the government. IOF and police just watch them.
So this is the Israeli government preventing aid from getting into Gaza and blaming vandals. How convenient.

Pro-independence riots have broken out in New Caledonia
As a colony the island is a retreat for French citizens but with 'decolonization' only native Kanak people could vote, barring those arriving from France
Now Paris is empowering French residents to vote after only 10 years
The French Government is using it's army to quash indigenous locals who are rising up against the colonisers.
Authorities also decided to ban video app #TikTok, which the government during a bout of riots on France's mainland last summer said helped rioters organise and amplified the chaos, attracting troublemakers to the streets.

Proud terrorists on Twitter/X
"Such beauty! This is what happens to whoever brings food to Hamas" Judeonazi settlers in West Bank blocked two Palestinian trucks, claiming they carry Gaza aid, threw rocks at the drivers, wounding one of them, and destroyed goods. No arrests were made. State-backed terrorists.

This is a robust article by Medea Benjamin and Nicola J.S.Davies. They explain in detail which weapons the US supplies to Israel and how/where Israel uses them. Also, where the weapons are made. The US is the biggest maker and provider of armaments. Huge amount of money at play.
That's why students asking for divestment from companies involved in the war is terrifying the government, the Israel lobby, the arms industry, the tech industry...

Hope this is not true: French troops on the Ukrainian front
Paris has sent the first unit of up to 100 Foreign Legion soldiers to Ukraine, writes the Asia Times, citing former assistant US Deputy Secretary of Defense Stephen Bryan.
According to the publication, France plans to send a total of 1.5 thousand fighters to support the AFU troops.
AT claims that Foreign Legion soldiers are stationed in Slavyansk.
Among other things, artillery and reconnaissance specialists have arrived. The officers are French citizens. The rest of the group are foreigners from all over the world. An official confirmation is still pending

The strength of the fediverse is that we can set up an instance that reflects our own values and the users who join share those values too. As a result we end up with instances that are very pro israel or pro palestine, we may get some that have sympthy with Hamas, or Hezbollah for example.
Perhaps this is a downside to that as well as an upside.
@Captain Jack Sparrow
I'm sorry, I was in the same situation last year.
I found this pod to be safe place but very slow and unreliable.
But I'm supporting it because it doesn't censor based on opinions.

I can't speak for the admins there, obviously, but that pose was a bit inflammatory, so perhaps that was why.

The Western leaders are allying themselves with these extremists. Far-right religious and ethnonationalist extremism is fundamentally incompatible with any liberal democratic regime. We are going back to the 1920s.

I planted this cherry #tomato from seeds when I returned to South of France 2 years ago. It has been producing tomatoes since then and now it has massive bunches of flowers growing on it.
Have never seen anything like this before. It's like 15-20 flowers and tomatoes on one single branch and have about 10 of them on each plant (3 total). these are the ones I planted directly in the 50L soil bags I bought from the store.

Planting an overgrown onion in a pot outside gave me 3 harvest of onion leaves and now it's blooming and I will have lots of onion seeds.
It's amazing how much one single #onion produced. Used the leaves in 2 soups and one stew and have 5 or 6 more thick leaves to harvest too. The ROI was lmore than 10x the amount I spent on one onion.
