Day two has not been one sided, the Israelis were seen carpet bombing near or in civilian areas.

BREAKING - Iran fires new cluster ballistic missile at Jerusalem.

It's now night time in West Asia and the illegal assassination started by Israel has resulted in Iran continuing to bomb Israel (and other US collaborators) well into the night.

Iran has unveiled a new multi-attack missile which was seen separating into dozens of sub-munitions above the sky's of Jerusalem tonight.

Iran's response is relentless.

#Iran #Israel #Jerusalem

Strategic targets all over Israel appear to be getting absolutely ROCKED by the never ending stream of never before seen Iranian cluster missiles.

The US and Israel never should have started this.

#Iran #Israel #TruePromise4

My OSINT feeds are absolutely flooded with videos taken by Zionist in Jerusalem who are in utter shock and disbelief at the air defense failures tonight.

The Iron Dome appears to be making a lot of intercepts but with new cluster munitions in the mix its hard to believe this is sustainable for the occupation.

Iran's defenders have not been able to stop every air stike.

Its night time in Iran right now and the US a few hours ago bombed Gandhi Hospital in Tehran sending hundreds of patients, doctors and families scrambling to evacuate loved ones.

Iranians were seen moving infants in incubators to safety.

#Iran #Tehran #GandhiHospital #US #Israel #Trump

My current belief is that the Israeli + American attackers were attempting to silence the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) service which is about a 5 minute walk from the hospital.

IRIB was previously bombed by Israel last year killing editor in chief Nima Rajabpour of Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN)

Around the same time as the media station + hospital being bombed Iranian's report loosing TV service momentarily and seeing zionist+MAGA propaganda video take over the air waves.

Fucking Israeli genocider Benjamin Netanyahu and American Prez Trump had videos roll on Iranian airwaves.

It's unclear right now if this channel take over was directly related to the bombing but demonstrates that significant but distant psyops under way.

If the prospect of Yemen possibly joining the war weren't bad enough today it's now confirmed in an official statement that Hezbollah is joining the fight to avenge Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Ali al-Husseini Khamenei.

Hezbollah says this is a warning and that they will hit specific military targets in Haifa.

It's not just the progressives and left against the Iran war.

The far right shit heads Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes have come out swing against Trump and war with Iran.

Carlson says the only reason we're having this war is that Israel feels this is their LAST chance for a war while there is essentially bipartisan support.

Carlson has read the room and says the tide is turning on Israel, that even being pro-Zionist among US conservatives is waning.

Happy to see that berlin.social has gone above and beyond what is required by German law to suspend an anonymous and antisemitic Zionist account (@hydra4455@berlin.social) that was engaged in harassing people voicing their opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people on the fediverse.

This account is just one of many following the same tactic of replying to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster (so they can’t reply, etc.) and then unblocking them later so they can continue their harassment. (Rinse, repeat.) They will, no doubt, create new accounts on different servers. Please be vigilant and report + block on sight.

When you see antisemitic bots like this that spam replies to posts criticising Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, make sure you report and block them.

(They block you after commenting so you can’t act on their post. Unless, that is, you run your own instance like I do and can suspend them.)

But wait, did I just call them antisemitic?

Why yes, conflating Zionism with being Jewish is to state that all Jews support Israel, settler colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. Of course not all Jews are Zionist and support such inhumanity. And not all Zionists are Jews.

The only ones painting targets on Jewish backs are Zionists.

🇮🇱️ The Israeli Spyware Firm That Accidentally Just Exposed Itself

｢ Israeli surveillance company Paragon Solutions briefly exposed its own spyware dashboard on LinkedIn, revealing the hidden architecture of a billion-dollar surveillance empire built on the backs of journalists, activists, and ordinary people ｣

#infosec #privacy #surveillance #israel

"As U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have swarmed cities across the United States, American politics has appeared to enter a new phase, one in which armed federal forces turn civilian neighborhoods into active conflict zones. Part of what is driving this political shift is a potent technical infrastructure: ICE operations are now expedited by mobile surveillance and targeting systems, where agents’ most powerful weapon can fit in the palm of their hands.

Recent reporting has revealed ICE is relying on at least two applications to guide its crackdown. The first is ELITE (Enhanced Leads Identification & Targeting for Enforcement), a new geospatial system built by the data analytics firm Palantir for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and designed for use on smartphones and tablets. ELITE “populates a map with deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a ‘confidence score’ on the person’s current address,” according to a user manual published late last month.

The second is Mobile Fortify, a facial recognition application manufactured by the biometrics company NEC that allows immigration enforcement officers to identify both citizens and undocumented migrants. ICE and other DHS agents have reportedly photographed and scanned the faces of Americans in cities like Minneapolis and Chicago — images that are cross-checked with biometric databases, compiled into dossiers, and stored for up to 15 years.

It’s no coincidence that, reporting on ICE’s incursion into Minnesota, New York Times columnist Lydia Polgreen described an “occupation designed to punish and terrorize.” The technologies supporting their operations illustrate how thoroughly ICE is following in Israel’s footsteps: both ELITE and Mobile Fortify bear a striking resemblance to mobile targeting applications Israeli forces have..."

Google accused of breaching AI principles and helping Israel’s campaign in Gaza

A former Google employee is accusing the tech giant of breaching AI ethics policies by helping an Israeli military contractor analyze drone footage in 2024.

This is what a whistleblower complaint seen by The Washington Post and filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) says.

The complaint alleged that Google breached its own “AI principles,” which, at the time of the incident detailed in the report, outlined that the company would not utilize AI technology to conduct surveillance in a manner “violating internationally accepted norms” or in relation to weapons.

According to The Washington Post, a customer support request allegedly sent from an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) email address was received by Google’s cloud-computing division.

The customer name attached to the support request matched an employee of CloudEx, an Israeli tech company. The SEC complaint additionally – and correctly – alleged that CloudEx is an IDF contractor.

@fabio I think it’s time to have a list of Zionist, pro-genocide Mastodon servers on Gaza Verified, just like we have a list of servers friendly to Palestinians suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and settler colonialism so our friends in Gaza – and anyone with even a sliver of a conscience – can know which parts of the fediverse to avoid.

I’ll add that to my endless todo list, then, shall I?

"Google breached its own policies that barred use of artificial intelligence for weapons or surveillance in 2024 by helping an Israeli military contractor analyze drone video footage, a former Google employee alleged in a confidential federal whistleblower complaint reviewed by The Washington Post.

Google’s Gemini AI technology was being used by Israel’s defense apparatus at a time the company was publicly distancing itself from the country’s military after employee protests over a contract with Israel’s government, according to internal documents included in the complaint.

In July 2024, Google’s cloud-computing division received a customer support request from a person using an Israel Defense Forces email address, according to the documents included in the complaint, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August. The name on the customer support request matches a publicly listed employee of Israeli tech firm CloudEx, which the complaint to the SEC alleges is an IDF contractor.

The request from the IDF email address asked for help making Google’s Gemini more reliable at identifying objects such as drones, armored vehicles and soldiers in aerial video footage, according to the internal documents included with the complaint. Staff in Google’s cloud unit responded by making suggestions and doing internal tests, the documents said."

If you know people on social.cologne who aren’t Zionists/genocide supporters please let them know that they cannot see posts by me and others who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people as our instances and accounts are blocked by their Zionist/pro-genocide server.

I can only assume Zionist/pro-genocide servers will not be allowed according to mastodon.social’s new server covenant and suggested as safe spaces to newcomers to the fediverse (including Palestinians suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid) but it would be good to have official confirmation of this.

It’s time for people (and mastodon servers) to be unapologetically unambiguous about which side of history they stand on.

"The U.S. military-led group supporting “stabilization efforts” in Gaza has put forward plans for a housing block for Palestinians in Gaza in an area under full Israel military control. According to materials circulated by the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) and obtained by Drop Site News, the “planned community,” if developed, would contain and control its residents through biometric surveillance, checkpoints, monitoring of purchases, and educational programs promoting normalization with Israel.

The CMCC was established by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on October 17, one week after Hamas and Israel agreed to an exchange of captives and a ceasefire was supposed to go into effect. The center, which is based in a large warehouse-style building in Kiryat Gat in southern Israel and involves dozens of countries and organizations, is supposed to “monitor implementation of the ceasefire” and “help facilitate the flow of humanitarian, logistical, and security assistance from international counterparts into Gaza,” according to CENTCOM.

The CMCC is led by U.S. Army Lieutenant General Patrick D. Frank and includes both U.S. and Israeli military officials along with personnel from dozens of countries, including France, Britain, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt."

@EUCommission

• A standard European truck is typically transporting a load of 24-26 tonnes. Your 48 tonnes of supplies are the equivalent of a mere 2 truckloads.

• Since October 2023, Germany alone has granted export permissions for arms and military equipment to #Israel amounting to €485 million. EU member countries combined are earning more by facilitating the #genocide than they spend on helping its victims, then claim to be humanitarian heroes.

• Almost 850 days have passed since October 7th, 2023. In this period, the EU has donated €550 million / 850 days / 450 million residents = 0.14 cents per day and resident. This is below average, even when adding the donations by individual EU members, too, in response to the UN's OCHA flash alerts.. You aren't the largest donor, you've just got the largest population. The largest donors are countries that give disproportionately more than you.

@EUCommission In the Netherlands we're slowly approaching 4th of Mei, the yearly memorial of the death. Last year a Neo-fascist member of parliament was allowed to be present at this memorial and in the spotlights. Besides that an activist was not allowed to protest to that anywhere near. Roma and Sinti had their death memorial on another day.

Do we learn from the past ? Do we want to learn ?

If we do not learn from the past why do we keep on having these yearly memorials and these daily photos of Auschwitz memorial on Mastodon boosted by many people ?

Dutch government and Dutch companies are complicit in the ongoing genocide, starvation, torturing and dehumanization of the Palestinian people. But since decades it is economy and profits first in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is by far the top trader number one in Europe when it comes to trading goods with the terrorist state of Israel. The false idea that Israel is the only place safe for Jews is used as a cover to continue profiting, ethnic cleansing, racism and exploitation.

And this is about politicians which ought to represent the people. But do they ? Or do they represent the lobby groups, climate change deniers and the weapon industry ?

1. It’s written in pure JavaScript for Node.js.

2. It does not require certutil to be installed.

3. It uses a different technique to install its certificate authority in the system trust store of macOS.

4. It uses enterprise policies on all platforms to get Firefox to include its certificate authority from the system trust store.

5. In addition to its Command-Line Interface, it can be used programmatically to automatically handle local development certificate provisioning while creating your server.

Hey everyone,

Gaza Verified is now open again for verification calls in 2026.

The new process for signing up for verification calls uses sign in with Mastodon and should remove the last remaining technical hurdle that was giving some of our friends in Gaza a hard time (adding the verification link to your Mastodon account is not intuitive in the current Mastodon interface). With this new flow, you won’t have to, we do it for you.

https://gaza-verified.org

Also, please remember that Israel, USA, and Germany are continuing their genocide of the Palestinian people with the complicity of the UK and almost the entire rest of the EU.

And we can help, if only a little. And even if it’s just a drop in the ocean it’s still a meaningful drop for those it helps:

To 'see the face' of an authority figure or ruler is a turn of phrase, or idiom. It is not necessarily literal. In the ancient near east, Orient, and Mesopotamia, 'the face' of a ruler meant his representative or authorized agent. If you see the king's ambassador, you are seeing the king's 'face'. Jesus even said,

"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father."

Jesus was not claiming to be the Father. He was claiming to be his 'face' or representative.

'Jacob' means 'supplanter'. He supplanted Esau in the birthright of the older brother, in the same way that Christ and the Apostles supplanted Judea with the new body of Christ. Paul the Apostle explains this:

"For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all."

The story of Jacob versus Esau and Isaac and Ishmael are prophecy of the struggle between fleshly Israel and Christ, who supplants the kingdom of Judea with the new body of Christ, the people of the new covenant. Thus Paul said:

"Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. [note: The Jews who persecuted the Nazarenes are Ishmael.] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free."

Judea was cast out and supplanted by the new covenant believers. This is Jacob, or Israel, taking Esau's birthright, as prophesied in Genesis. The New Covenant people supplanted the Old Covenant people. This is Jacob supplanting Esau and becoming Israel. Paul directly identifies the ancient Judeans as the Hagar or Ishmael of the Old Testament, contiguous to the Esau of Genesis:

"For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children."

Thus the ancient Jews were not Israel:

"Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed."

In this same vein Paul elaborates that the Jews of his day are actually Esau rather than Jacob:

"It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."

The flesh is Esau. The spirit is Israel. The spiritual are counted for the seed, while the flesh is counted for the elder who is rejected and supplanted by the younger Jacob / supplanter.

'Israel' means he that rules with God or as God, and means that Israel is God's new 'face'.

Jesus is the head of Israel. The believers are the body of Christ or Israel.

Anyone who sees a true Nazarene minister who knows and speaks the truth of Christ's gospel without lies or hypocrisy, is 'seeing the face of Christ.'
