For the past month, Iddo Elam has been gathering with fellow Israeli radical left activists in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square to protest the war with Iran. As dissent spreads to the political center and these anti-war demonstrations expand, demonstrators face violent crackdowns by Israeli police — while opposition lawmakers are still nowhere to be seen. Also:

• 'They already shoot us for no reason. Now they have a death penalty'
• Israeli leaders are condemning settler attacks. It’s a smokescreen

Iranian state media is reporting that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, which have continued today.

Israel has said a ceasefire struck between the U.S. and Iran late yesterday doesn't include its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, where it launched its largest co-ordinated strike in the war to date.The Lebanese Health Ministry said 112 people have been killed today.

I have a OnePlus5T that runs PostmarketOS (console, no GUI). I use pmbootstrap to flash the image and it serves me well for the most part. To make the internet connection more stable, I wish to connect the phone to the router using an Ethernet adapter.

I have borrowed a Porttonics Ethernet 8in1 adapter and works well on other stock android phones. I can use ethernet nicely and surf sites on those phones

I seem to be unable to do this with Postmarket OS. Based on what i have read, I think the kernel needs to be tweaked so it can connect and work with the router. Does anyone know how to do this?

(This is my second post on this topic. Apologies).

When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that's not fair!

I am looking for an alternative to the Youtube app. I heard a lot of recommendations about New Pipe but on F droid there are so many flavors. Which one to pick?

Israeli military announces ‘largest coordinated strike’ against Hezbollah since war began, carrying out a wave of airstrikes without warning on Beirut and across the country on more than 100 targets.
...
The attack came less than 12 hours after the Iran ceasefire announcement.
...
Iran and Pakistan said a ceasefire would include Lebanon, contrary to Israeli claims, but the US has yet to comment.
...
Up until the wave of airstrikes by Israel across Lebanon, Hezbollah had not announced any attacks against Israel – a first since the war between it and Israel began on 2 March.
...
The almost five weeks of war in Lebanon has brought the country to its breaking point, with more than 1.1 million people forcibly displaced... More than 1,530 people had been killed and 4,812 wounded by Israeli airstrikes, Lebanon’s ministry of health said on Tuesday.

As Israel contemplates a two-week ceasefire announced by United States President Donald Trump in the war on Iran on Tuesday night, it appears weakened in the eyes of its opponents and critics. Its arch-nemesis, Iran, is still standing; Israel’s defensive stock of missiles is depleted and its prime minister is facing a political backlash.

Following news of the Pakistan-brokered truce, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement in English, saying that the PM supports the US decision and claiming that “Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbours and the world.”

But there was a caveat. While mediator Pakistan had announced that Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon would also cease, Netanyahu added that he does not regard the ceasefire as extending to Israel’s war on Lebanon, which, for now at least, the US appears willing to allow to continue, subject to its peace negotiations with Iran.

Responding to Netanyahu’s announcement, Israel’s opposition leader, Yair Lapid, who had strongly supported his country’s attack on regional nemesis Iran, called the ceasefire one of the greatest “political disasters in all of our history”. Israel had not even been involved in negotiations, he said, adding that, despite its military successes, the prime minister had “failed politically, failed strategically, and didn’t meet a single one of the goals that he himself set”, adding that it would take years to repair the damage inflicted upon the country through the prime minister’s “arrogance”.

When a tear gas canister landed near his feet, Caravello threw it away from the crowd, in a high arc over the federal agents, Taylor said. He later removed a separate canister that had become stuck underneath someone using a wheelchair and tossed it away. Shortly after, Taylor said, an agent snatched him and pinned him to the ground as several other agents piled on top of him. Agents eventually placed him in a car and drove away from the facility, driving through protesters who tried to block them from leaving. Taylor jumped in a truck to try to follow Caravello, but agents threw tear gas through the vehicle’s window, she said. By the time she recovered, Caravello was gone.

...

Days after the raid, federal officials accused Caravello of throwing a tear gas canister at U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents, and he was charged with a misdemeanor count of assaulting a federal officer. In an affidavit, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Virginia Pulido alleges that “the canister came within approximately several feet above law enforcements’ heads” but does not describe any officer being hit or injured by the canister.

Caravello was released after four days in detention, on a $15,000 surety bond. Prosecutors later convened a grand jury to bring a felony charge of assault on a federal officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Caravello found out about the felony charge from friends who learned the news from a post on X by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

Caravello’s trial starts on Tuesday, where his defense is likely to argue that he was protecting himself and others from the tear gas rather than attacking federal agents. “They rolled it at him and some other protesters as they were walking away and he threw back over their heads,” his attorney Knut Johnson said in November after Caravello entered his plea of not guilty.
