Israel’s genocide isn’t just murdering Palestinians en masse, it’s also destroying any semblance of morality or ethics the West might have purported to possess. International law? Bullshit. European values? Trash. Western democracy? A joke.#israel #unitedStates #germany #europeanUnion #genocide #ethnicCleansing #apartheid #settlerColonialism #internationalLaw #europeanValues #democracy #Palestine #Gaza #WestBank

What the UK needs are *mass protests* with hundreds of thousands of people holding those “I OPPOSE GENOCIDE – I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION” signs.They can arrest 50.They can arrest 100.They cannot arrest 100,000.They cannot arrest a million.#Palestine #PalestineAction #FreePalestine #UK #protest #israel #genocide #ethnicCleansing #apartheid #settlerColonialism #StopIsrael #StopArmingIsrael #StopTheGenocide #YourGovernmentHasFailed #powerToThePeople

Since Microsoft is organising a European Sovereign Tech Fund, we should ask Lockheed Martin to put together a European Sovereign Defense Fund. There’s probably also opportunity here to bring Amazon in to advise on EU labour standards and have McDonald’s take the lead on food safety policy in the EU.CC @EUCommission #EU #USA #corporateCapture #europeanSovereignTechFund #microsoft #github #openSource #freeSoftware #tech #freedom #humanRights #democracy

Isn’t genocide denial a crime in Germany? Does that only apply to one genocide? (The Holocaust?) Or does it also apply to, say, the Armenian genocide too? And, if so, does that it mean that the only genocide it doesn’t apply to is Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people?#israel #genocide #ethnicCleansing #apartheid #settlerColonialism #Palestine #Gaza #WestBank #StopIsrael #StopArmingIsrael #StopTheGenocide #genocideDenial #FediGenocideDenial #germany

I just had a video conversation on Signal with Nouran (@NouranKhaledGh) and her brother Yousef from Gaza.Their family is one of countless ones in Palestine who are still alive but unsure of what tomorrow is going to bring. Last night was especially tough with Israel’s renewed bombing. Yousef told me that at least they are still in their own home and that if they’re ordered by Israel to evacuate again that they will not leave what little they have left. He told me “we will die here”.Please don’t let Nouran, Yousef, and their family die.We must keep protesting, keep pressuring our governments until they take definitive action to stop Israel’s genocide.And also, please help Nouran and her family survive in the interim by donating to their campaign:https://chuffed.org/project/121561-urgent-help-for-ahmads-familyYour donations help them buy food to eat as Israel continues to starve Gaza.Even if you cannot help financially right now, please boost this to help spread the word.Thank you!@palestine #Palestine #Gaza #aid #fediAid #FreePalestine

Announcing Gaza Verifiedhttps://gaza-verified.orgI’ve been having video conversations over Signal with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse in an effort to vouch for their authenticity.This week, I whipped up a site to formalise this and to enable them to add a verified link to their Mastodon bios. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.The first four accounts belong to:• @Aseelsehwel • @NouranKhaledGh • @joynewacc • @mohshbairIf you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: https://gaza-verified.org/guidePlease share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.Thank you!💕CC @palestine #Gaza #Palestine #FreePalestine #fediverse #mastodon #verification

Dear Mastodon instance admins, Palestinians are facing genocide and famine.If there is a Palestinian account from Gaza on your instance and it is *not* exhibiting bot-like behaviour PLEASE AT LEAST CONTACT ME before limiting/suspending it so @joynewacc and I can attempt to verify them by having a video chat with them on Signal and adding them to Gaza Verified:https://gaza-verified.orgBlocking the accounts of Palestinians in Gaza on the fediverse is like repeatedly slamming the door in the face of Anne Frank.Please have some humanity.Also, if your server is a safe space for Palestinians from Gaza, please respond and let me know and I’ll add you to the list at https://gaza-verified.org/guide/#mastodon #fediverse #Gaza #Palestine #genocide #famine

As fascism descends, you are going to need easy to access and use alternatives to Big Tech (aka Fascist Tech). So maybe bookmark the Chatons collective site initiated by our friends at Framasoft with hosted versions of free-software services for collaborative writing, video conferencing, scheduling appointments, collaborative spreadsheets, file sharing, picture sharing, etc.https://entraide.chatons.org/en/#chatons #framasoft #alternatives #SmallTech #BigTech #technoFascism #selfDefense #tools #tech #collaborativeWriting #videoConferencing #scheduling #collaborativeSpreadsheet #fileSharing #pictureSharing #postItBoard #linkShortener #secureTextShraing #hosted #online #web

Wow, if you search for signal messenger on DuckDuckGo using Chrome, the actual @signalapp web site is the *third* entry following ads for “Signal Private Messenger – Free Download” that leads to the site appmaus.com and “Get Signal Messenger | Install Signal App” that leads to the site filelocations.com.DuckDuckGo should be held criminally liable for anyone who ends up downloading malware because of this.CC @Mer__edith #DuckDuckGo #Signal #adtech #teachingPeopleHowToGetPhished #malware #security #privacy #BigTech
