Reading the series ‘Expanse’ and have to constantly look up facts of our solar system and beyond makes you realize, Universe is so f-ing big! And we’re these insignificant nobodies!! It’s a humbling experience

"Australia said on Sunday that it would fine X for failing to provide information about its efforts to combat child exploitation and that the social media service had told officials that its automated detection of abusive material declined after Elon Musk bought the company."

So the US and Isreal have agreed to come up with a plan to get aid into Gaza, not sure what they understand about the fact that humans die without food or water after a few days.
Perhaps this plan would ensure they do so, and quickly
1. Find an old poracabin and fiot out with tables / chairs.
2. Put delegates in room with no access to food, water, medical or toilets
On the wall should be a display showing death toll in Gaza in REAL TIME as possible
3. Put a few 100lbs of explosives under cabin on a timer
4. Give delegates 48 hours max to come up with a plan
If they fail cabin gets blown up along with them.
Or
They all die of hunger in the process
But it would actually provide an incentive for them to discuss and agree on a way forward, which is simply
1. Open border
2. Let in aid
3. Allow UN and agencies to distribute aid

Those who oppose hamas were thrown off buildings. Thats how they took over in the first place. I can understand why palastinian in gaza won't speak against them. Nor why they would support anyone else

Israel Gaza war: Explosion at Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67128770
So now try and tell me that both sides are working for a safe evacuation route to Egypt.
The despair inside Gaza must be beyond comprehension.

So, a federal judge has to tell a former President that attacking witnesses, court staff, and their families is not cool?!?

Labour councillors quit party in protest at Keir Starmer’s Israel stance https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/16/labour-councillors-quit-party-in-protest-at-keir-starmers-israel-stance
So as neither Israel or the USA are signed up to conventions international law, it makes it harder to prosecute Israel or at least the leaders.
What about prosecuting countries that still use the narrative they are using their right to self defense ?
There HAS to be a charge of accessory somewhere.

I covered the Rwandan genocide as a reporter. The dehumanizing language is eerily familiar *spilling out of IL & some of its supporters -it helped create a climate in which terrible crimes take place. In different ways, the sentiment that the Palestinians are collectively resp. for the actions of Hamas in killing of ~1,300 Israelis/abduction of 199: deserve what's coming to them -echoed far beyond IL's borders:

Just as an update, in southern Gaza, the agreed upon ceasefire is now reported as never being agreed upon, the opening of the Rafah border crossing for humanitarian aid is stalled, with a convoy of trucks at the crossing, the water is said to have been switched back on by the Israelis, but is not reaching southern Gaza.
All these things were agreed upon in theory, now it's a case of keeping on pushing until they become reality. No backsliding.
Keep demanding the impossible.
If the border crossing is between Egypt and Gaza, can't the Egyptions just open up the border so people can get out to safety and just tell Isreal to get stuffed.
Set up a refugee camp with UN and other aid agencies so that all Palestinians who come across can be documented, ( a good way to perhaps reunited families ) be given medical and other help, children can get back to education.

"Fuck Israel. Fuck Hammas. Fuck Fatah.
Fuck UN. Fuck UNWRA. Fuck USA!
We, the youth in Gaza, are so fed up with Israel, Hamas, the occupation, the violations of human rights and the indifference of the international community!
We want to scream and break this wall of silence, injustice and indifference like the Israeli F16’s breaking the wall of sound;
scream with all the power in our souls in order to release this immense frustration that consumes us because of this fucking situation we live in; we are like lice between two nails living a nightmare inside a nightmare, no room for hope, no space for freedom. [...]"

The latest time I felt like I 100% endorsed anything or anyone related to the area, it was >12 years ago, the "Gaza Youth Breaks Out" movement.
As I recall it the youth uprisings against both Hamas and Fatah, in spite of getting harsh response from both of those as well as from Israel's armed forces, did force Fatah and Hamas to swear to at least hold elections. Then when protests settled they broke the promises and crushed the GazaYBO-movement, because their thirst for power is immensely stronger than their honor and/or care for the Palestinian people.
I did everything I could to support them at the time.
I will again, next time too.
