The Punishment of the Palestinians - Open Canada
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict entered a new phase on Oct. 7 and the subsequent violence is giving new life to dangerous proposals that will ultimately fan the flames of conflict.
opencanada.org
There are those in the International community who are supportive of Israel and are actively advocating for punitive policies against the Palestinian people despite the dangerous consequences of this approach. I examine one such policy here: opencanada.org/the-punishme...

If A.I. companions could truly fulfill their promise—banishing the pain of loneliness entirely—the result might feel blissful, at least at first. But would it make us better?
A.I. Is About to Solve Loneliness. That’s a Problem
The discomfort of loneliness shapes us in ways we don’t recognize—and we may not like what we become without it.

God, Mark Rutte is insufferable. Talking about how him calling Trump a “Daddy” and how the White House released a video about how “Daddy’s Home” plus t-shirts would be made about it. Then he expresses how much he likes Trump. What’s next? A one night stand? The butler of the US will do anything.

Patriots are short range defensive weapons. Will protect civilians. Won't change the course of war. When will they come? How many?
50 days is a LONG time for Russia to do horrific things and THEN come to the table with a "negotiated settlement".
Things aren't as grand as they look.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.
1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.
This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

A ceasefire is not enough. Israel’s control over aid lets it weaponise starvation and displacement. Our analysis shows how the GHF system dismantled a civilian-led model to concentrate people in Rafah. The genocide can continue even under ceasefire.
