Live coverage of the 29th of February 2024 has now begun.

UNRWA chief laments ‘another day from hell’ in Gaza
UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says Gaza has experienced “another day from hell” as the death toll in the Israeli war on Hamas has surpassed 30,000 and as Israeli forces opened fire on hungry Palestinians waiting for food aid.

For weeks, aid groups have warned that severe Israeli restrictions on humanitarian assistance in northern Gaza were contributing to extreme hunger and a collapse of civil order.

“Another day from hell. Gaza reaches an unprecedented reported death toll of 30,000 Palestinians killed, while an additional 100 people are reportedly killed and 700 injured when they were desperately trying to get lifesaving humanitarian aid from a convoy,” Lazzarini said in a social media post.

“Neither UNRWA nor any other UN agency were involved in this distribution. When will this madness end?”
Israeli protesters continue to block Gaza aid, demand settlement of the strip
As Palestinians count the dead after a reported Israeli attack on a crowd of people waiting for humanitarian assistance in northern Gaza, Israeli protesters are again trying to block aid from entering the strip, where humanitarian groups say the threat of famine continues to spread amid widespread Israeli restrictions on vital humanitarian assistance.

“Israeli protesters again blocked aid trucks en route to Gaza via [the Karem Abu Salem] Kerem Shalom crossing,” the Israeli rights group Gisha said in a social media post. Israeli soldiers have done little to dissuade the protesters, who have blocked the crossing during similar demonstrations over the past several weeks.

Israeli journalist Oren Ziv also reported that right-wing Israeli settlers entered the Erez crossing with Gaza, calling on the government to allow them to settle the strip. In a video shared by Ziv, soldiers stand by or talk with the crowd as settlers work to build a structure in the background.
Hezbollah claims rocket attack on Israeli town
The group says it fired two rockets at Goren in northern Israel in response to the killing of two Lebanese civilians yesterday and in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

An Israeli air raid on the south Lebanon village of Kafra had killed an elderly couple in their home on Wednesday night.
Saudi Arabia condemns Israeli attack on aid seekers in Gaza
The kingdom’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it strongly denounces the killings by Israeli forces of dozens of civilians awaiting aid convoys in northern Gaza.

The ministry called for an “immediate ceasefire” to mitigate the humanitarian crisis and urged the international community to “take a strong position to compel Israel to respect international humanitarian law”.
Two Israelis killed in shooting at occupied West Bank settlement
Several Israeli media outlets have cited the Israeli military as saying that two people have been killed in the attack at the illegal settlement of Eli.

The Israeli army said the attackers were “eliminated”.

We will bring you more information on this incident when it becomes available.
Israeli media: settlers breached Erez crossing, entered Gaza
Israeli journalists for the outlets Haaretz and Times of Israel have reported that Israeli protestors broke through the Erez crossing and entered Gaza, where some have demanded a restoration of Israeli settlements.

Haaretz reported that a crowd of protestors “broke through” a military checkpoint and entered Gaza, with the Israeli military stating that it is working with the Israeli police to arrest them. Crowds of right-wing Israelis have gathered at crossings to block aid into Gaza for weeks. Israeli soldiers have mostly taken few steps to disperse them.

“Some of the activists managed to reach some 500 meters deep into Gaza, according to a military source,” Emanuel Fabian, a reporter with TOI, said in a social media post.
Rights group says 17-year-old Palestinian boy killed near Nablus was shot in the back
The Palestine branch of the rights group Defense for Children International has said that a 17-year-old was killed by Israeli forces near the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank this morning, noting that he was shot in the back.

“Bashar Nihad Abdulatif Hanani, 17, was shot in the back by Israeli forces around 1am this morning during a military incursion into the Palestinian town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank,” the group said in a report on the incident.

“Bashar was standing on a wall near the Friendship Medical Center, allegedly throwing stones towards Israeli soldiers located about 25 to 35 meters [82 to 115 feet] away. Israeli forces fired live ammunition toward Bashar, causing him to fall from the wall, which was about 1.5 meters [5 feet] tall. Palestinian paramedics carried Bashar into the medical center, then transferred him in an ambulance to Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus. Doctors pronounced Bashar dead around 1:30am.”
UN Security Council to meet on Gaza aid shooting
The United Nations’ top body will meet today at 21:15 GMT to discuss the 112 people killed and 760 wounded in an Israeli attack in north Gaza. This meeting will be held at the request of Algeria, and will be a closed session.
Lebanese PM says Gaza ceasefire would trigger Israel border talks
A halt to fighting in the Gaza Strip, which could come as early as next week, would trigger indirect talks to end hostilities along Lebanon’s southern border with Israel, Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has told Reuters.

Mikati said he was confident that the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah would cease fire if Israel did the same, ending nearly five months of cross-border shelling and air raids.

He added that US special envoy Amos Hochstein was “preparing for visits to Lebanon soon”.
Israel has crossed ‘all lines’
Commenting on the deadly Israeli attack on aid seekers in Gaza earlier today, Tamer Qarmout of the Doha Institute says Israel has been using starvation and aid as a “weapon” from day one against civilians in the besieged territory.

“Israel has crossed all the lines when it comes to abiding by any moral conduct in any war,” he told Al Jazeera.

“It can do what it wants because there it has impunity. So there’s no accountability … and the international community is totally paralysed. There’s nothing they can do.”

Moreover, Qarmout said its “outrageous” for Israeli forces to claim they feel threatened by aid-seekers.

“They are the occupiers, they are the ones who invaded Gaza. They are the ones who have done all this killing and destruction,” he asserted.

Here is an amalgamation of news from the last hour, oldest at the top and latest at the bottom.

Please pardon my absence the past days, I was unwell.

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.

Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.

Do Not Let Them Erase This. Do Not Let Them Tell You He Meant "my Heart Goes Out For You."

Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."

This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.

He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.

He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.

He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.

Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.

I can't believe I have to say this again

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI
The Atlantic
Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Look. I've posted about how piracy fucks the little guys at least twice already, but guys, seriously, I'm being so fucking real with you, PIRACY FUCKS THE LITTLE GUY.

And this is just another shining example of how.

8 of my titles are on this list. 8 of my titles that I spent months writing, editing, revising, crying over, screaming over, plotting, putting my heart into have been pirated, and then used to train some soulless AI that will then go on to make money for a big corporation, without my consent.

And I'm on the lower end. Other authors literally have over 100 works on this list. New authors just getting into this have their debut books on this list.

I repeat, this was done without our consent. This was done because someone pirated our book, and made it available to the general public for free.

So when I beg you to please not pirate books. When I tell you that it's literally ripping the potential to make our art our livelihood from our hands. When I say that every author would 100% rather you come to us and ask us about where to find our books outside of pirate sites, or even to see if we have any ARCs available if you can't afford it. . .

I do so because in the end the only one you're hurting is artists who are just like you. Just trying to put food on the table. Working long hours. Giving up weekends. Putting everything they've got into their work. And all we're asking for is that you not pirate our books, so that we can pay our bills.

We do this thing because we love it, but there's no reason that doing something we love that provides entertainment for others shouldn't make us enough to live off of. If you don't believe that, I'm afraid you've fallen for the brainwashing bullshit that some jobs "just aren't worth anything". And that, my dears, is a larger problem than I have the ability to express.

Everyone should make a fair wage from drive thru workers to writers.

Everyone should be able to pay their bills.

Don't pirate shit.

Thank you, goodnight.
