Announcing: A Mentorship Program Helping Gaza’s Tech Students Graduate (Tech for Palestine, 2025-10-24)

https://updates.techforpalestine.org/introducing-ghaza-tech-mentorship/
———

>> In Gaza, thousands of students studying technology, computer science, and engineering are facing continuous genocide and destruction for more than two years caused by Israel. … these students remain determined to continue their education and build a better future. However, the reality is extremely difficult, with damaged universities, limited access to the internet, and no proper guidance or mentors to help them complete their graduation projects...

>> To respond to this urgent need, Ghaza Tech Mentorship was created, a global initiative designed to connect students in #Gaza with experienced mentors from around the world ... Through this program, mentors need to volunteer 2–3 hours a week to give their guidance in coding, technical problem-solving, and encouragement to students ...

Ceaseless Israeli fire in Gaza and West Bank (B’Tselem, 2025-11-12)

https://mailchi.mp/btselem/18act4vnza-9434009?e=fb1492c1c8

>> A month into the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, Palestinians remain unprotected and Israel continues to treat their lives as expendable. … to early November, Israel killed 241 Palestinians in #Gaza, 117 of them children, and injured more than 600. It also continues to starve the population and has rejected some 75% of humanitarian aid requests. The details of the agreement remain vague, ...

>> Since this year’s olive harvest began, B’Tselem has documented dozens of extremely violent attacks across the West Bank: settlers and soldiers assaulting farmers, stealing crops, torching cars, destroying property, cutting down trees and blocking access to farmland...

>> These are not “rogue” assaults but state policy: they are part of Israel’s ongoing effort to seize Palestinian land and advance ethnic cleansing in the #WestBank.

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza (Guardian, 2025-07-31)

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/31/the-mathematics-of-starvation-how-israel-caused-a-famine-in-gaza
———

>> The #mathematics of famine are simple in Gaza. Palestinians cannot leave, war has ended farming and Israel has banned fishing, so practically every calorie its population eats must be brought in from outside.

>> Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades …

>> “The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,” a senior adviser to the then prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said in 2006…

>> … Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, Cogat records show, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period.

>> Even if every bag of #UN flour had been collected and handed out, and the #GHF had developed safe systems for equitable distribution, starvation was inevitable…

Israeli military operations killed at least 20 captives in Gaza: Haaretz investigation (Anadolu Agency, 2025-05-30)

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/israeli-military-operations-killed-at-least-20-captives-in-gaza-haaretz-investigation/3584825

>> Israeli military operations endangered the lives of at least 54 Israeli captives in Gaza, 20 of whom were killed, according to a Haaretz investigation published Friday.

>> The report said that during 601 days of conflict, starting Oct. 7, 2023, the Israeli army's actions, including airstrikes, led to captives' deaths either directly or "executed by their captors due to military activity close to their whereabouts."

>> ... while hundreds of strikes were avoided due to hostage proximity concerns, the army does authorize strikes within a "safe distance" of several hundred meters.

>> ... "Where there is no information [about captives], the attack proceeds."

>> The investigation contradicts official army claims of taking maximum precautions to protect the hostages.

>> A group of graduates shouted "Free, Free Palestine!" and unfurled a Palestinian flag at the ceremony.

"German Officials Might Be Criminally Liable": Five Questions to Kai Ambos (Verfassungsblog, 2025-05-30)

https://verfassungsblog.de/german-officials-might-be-criminally-liable/
———

>> Under the Arms Trade Treaty (#ATT), #Germany is prohibited from exporting weapons if there is an “overriding risk” that they could be used to commit international crimes…

>> … What matters is not whether the respective weapons are eventually used in war crimes or serious violations of international humanitarian law (IHL), but whether such an “overriding risk” existed at the time the export was approved…

>> In the case of the Occupied Palestinian Territory … such indicators have been present for years – and in the current Gaza war, they have intensified to the point that an “overriding risk” must clearly be assumed.

>> A failure to conduct or inadequately conduct the said risk assessment constitutes a violation of international law …

How six months in the West Bank undid a lifetime of Zionist indoctrination (Sam Stein | +972 Magazine, 2025-05-30)

>> Growing up in the American Orthodox Jewish world, spending a post-high school year studying Torah in Israel was simply what one did…

>> I finished that year with little understanding of Israel’s occupation…

>> The first time I recall hearing the word “occupation” was when my rabbi — a resident of the illegal settlement … — grumbled about … restricted access to the Temple Mount. “Israel,” he declared, “is occupied by Arabs.”

>> Seven years after …, I returned to Israel-Palestine — this time with a working understanding of the West Bank’s occupation and the responsibility that came with stepping onto this land. … I came to join All That’s Left, a grassroots, non-hierarchical collective of diaspora Jews committed to direct action against the occupation…

The Rising Death Toll of the U.S.–Israel Aid Distribution Plan in Gaza (The Intercept, 2025-05-28)

>> The humanitarian community worried the Israeli government would use the new aid plan as a weapon ... Some aid experts likened the zones to a “concentration camp” ... Some Israeli officials said they hoped the plan would permanently expel Palestinians from Gaza.

>> Such fears proved prescient Tuesday…

>> …Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor confirmed on Tuesday the death of seven individuals and said the 47 injured were wounded by bullets fired by both Israeli military and the U.S.-based private security firms... Israeli military soldiers had entered the site to fire on the crowd on Tuesday. And on Wednesday, … the Israeli military had sent texts to Palestinians instructing them to head south to the Morag Corridor area … to receive aid. When they arrived, soldiers once again fired on aid-seeking crowds, killing six,…

If This Is What Israel Does, Then Israel Shouldn't Exist (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-05-29)

https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/if-this-is-what-israel-does-then
———

#CaitlinJohnstone as crisp and clear as could be:

>> … I’m saying a genocidal apartheid state should not exist. A state is an artificial construct of the human mind, held together by human actions. If the actions we are witnessing in Gaza are the product of the artificial construct of the Israeli state, then that artificial construct should be dismantled, and those actions should cease.

>> I would say this about any other man-made construct that is doing the things Israel is doing. If some scientists built a robot that spends all day every day massacring children, then I would say the robot should be unmade. If you drew a Star of David on the robot’s head, it wouldn’t suddenly make me an evil antisemite to say that the child-murdering robot should be dismantled.
