A reminder that Ben Gvir was set to be sanctioned by the United States government in February 2024 but was personally taken off the list by President Biden.

Greta Thunberg's story is entirely consistent with the four Australians reported by @deepcutnews.bsky.social.

If the IDF inflicts such deliberate cruelty and degradation on briefly detained foreign nationals, no wonder we are getting such horrifying accounts from recently released Palestinians.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

The very fact that the ceasefire deal sets a limit in the amount of daily aid that enters the devastated Gaza is in itself outrageous. There should be no limit, Gaza should be fully open to aid, to civil protection volunteers, to journalists, to investigators.

Alegrarse por el alto el fuego, por el fin de las matanzas en masa, por la entrada de ayuda humanitaria, por supuesto.

Aceptar la mentira que conviene a los mediocres y a los cínicos, ni hablar.

Da gusto lo bien que funciona todo lo relacionado con los libros en este país, desde las tarifas de los que trabajamos en el sector hasta las bibliotecas públicas. Resulta que necesito consultar un libro para un ensayo que traduzco y la biblioteca me lo puede prestar en enero. Luego que si z-library

Las imágenes que llegan son espantosas. Además de las horribles condiciones, unos han descubierto hoy que han exterminado a sus familias, otros que sus hijos están vivos aunque les habían dicho que habían matado a todos. Y hay otros a los que han exiliado y no han podido ni podrán ver a sus familias

Barbara Plett Usher describes the condition of the Palestinians released from Israeli prisons - thin, emaciated, pale, unable to walk by themselves.

Israel routinely tortures and sexually abuses Palestinians they hold. They also withhold medical treatment.

The return of the Israeli hostages is a moment of pure joy for those families.

And a moment of relief for the entire world.

It means that a page can be turned. A new chapter can begin.

Europe fully supports the peace plan brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye.
