The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.
Look at the photos. The thing I heard often working on the USAID Gaza response from our partners in Gaza was the field of dead bodies - men, women, children - that fanned out around IDF checkpoints in the Netzarim corridor. Shot by IDF soldiers for no reason (unless "for fun" counts as a reason).
U.S. Envoys Refused to Report "Apocalyptic" Conditions in Gaza. Exclusive Photos Show the Reality They Suppressed
The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem suppressed a February 2024 report on northern Gaza because it “lacked balance.” These photos from the UN fact finding trip are visual evidence of the conditions.

Ancient pine trees growing in eastern Spain have quietly recorded more than five centuries of Mediterranean weather. Analysis of tree rings clearly shows that todays storms and droughts are becoming more intense and more frequent than almost anything the region has experienced since the early 1500s.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up.
Nature isn't just 'nice to have'.
Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems.

Still digesting Carney’s speech, but 3 points to stress:
1️⃣ Canada was an architect & beneficiary, not victim, of an unjust & unfair int’al system. Let’s be honest abt that.
2️⃣ we need new allies who aren’t also looking to annex land (eg China)
3️⃣ As always, let’s judge Ottawa by its actions not words

This is an excellent speech from PM Mark Carney. There's no doubt about it.
The proof, as always, will be in how we deliver on it.

Ok. Let’s give cetaceans, corvids, great apes, pachyderms, and maybe cephalopods rights first, though, as they’re both alive and sapient. Hell, maybe natural formations/ecosystems too. Let’s get something real from this if it’s inevitable.

- The berms now stretch "for over 68km around Elfashir, leaving only a 3-4km gap before the city is fully enclosed". (Sudan Tribune)

The drone photo is closer to 31.5057, 34.4619 whereas the plane photo is closer to the coast.
