Basierend auf neuen wissenschaftlichen Studien stellt Haaretz fest, dass die Zahl der direkten und indirekten Kriegstoten im Gazastreifen seit dem 7. Oktober bereits 100.000 erreicht hat. Der Artikel von Nir Hasson ist bis jetzt nur auf Hebräisch.

100,000 מתים. מאחורי מספר הקורבנות האמיתי בעזה

הולך ומתגבש קונסנזוס בקרב חוקרי תמותה בכירים לגבי מספר המתים ברצועה — והוא גבוה הרבה יותר מהמספרים הידועים

RIP Leonard Zeskind. "Blood and Politics" has arguably been the single most influential book for me in researching and opposing white supremacist movements in the U.S., and I know I'm not alone. Rest in power!

Famed anti-racist expert Leonard Zeskind, who warned of fascism's rise, has died

A Kansas City resident, Zeskind began studying the white nationalist movement more than 40 years ago and published his findings in his 2009 book, “Blood and Politics.” His work showed uncanny foresigh...

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Tweet from Yuval Abraham:
"A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."

the rise of the fascist nerds was anticipated by Ellen Ullman's 1995 essay "Out of Time: Reflections on the Programming Life."

Real techies don’t worry about forced eugenics. I learned this from a real
techie in the cafeteria of a software company.

The project team is having lunch and discussing how long it would take
to wipe out a disease inherited recessively on the X chromosome. First
come calculations of inheritance probabilities. Given a population of a
given size, one of the engineers arrives at a wipe-out date. Immediately
another suggests that the date could be moved forward by various
manipulations of the inheritance patterns. For example, he says, there could be an education campaign.

The six team members then fall over one another with further
suggestions. They start with rewards to discourage carriers from breeding.
Immediately they move to fines for those who reproduce the disease. Then they go for what they call “more effective” measures: Jail for breeding. Induced abortion. Forced sterilization.

Now they’re hot. The calculations are flying. Years and years fall from
the final doom-date of the disease.

Finally, they get to the ultimate solution. “It’s straightforward,” someone
says. “Just kill every carrier.” Everyone responds to this last suggestion
with great enthusiasm. One generation and—bang—the disease is gone.

Quietly, I say, “You know, that’s what the Nazis did.”

They all look at me in disgust. It’s the look boys give a girl who has
interrupted a burping contest. One says, “This is something my wife would say.

When he says “wife,” there is no love, warmth, or goodness in it. In this
engineer’s mouth, “wife” means wet diapers and dirty dishes. It means
someone angry with you for losing track of time and missing dinner.
Someone sentimental. In his mind (for the moment), “wife” signifies all
programming-party-pooping, illogical things in the universe.

Still, I persist. “It started as just an idea for the Nazis, too, you know.”

The engineer makes a reply that sounds like a retch. “This is how I know
you’re not a real techie,” he says.
