Weird how western liberals and conservatives are super "pro democracy", but when you suggest a DEMOCRATISATION of the workplace, so that workers can own the means of production; sit on company boards, and get a share of the profits (instead of just wages), they suddenly don't like democracy anymore.

White Dutch neighbour be like: "So I broke up with my ex because he's just a downer. I like men who don't complain about every little thing in life, and just try to be positive and enjoy life, and bla bla bla."

Turns out her ex is a Palestinian who's super depressed by the genocide of his people.

Take a second to chew over that headline; "dozens of healthcare workers" - 55 in total - were among the 7,000 people kidnapped by Israel during its destruction of Gaza, and yet we still focus on Israeli 'hostages'.

Released Palestinians included dozens of Gaza health workers
Advocacy organisation Healthcare Workers Watch says the list of Palestinians freed from Israeli prisons on Monday included the names of at least 55 health workers, including 24 nurses, seven doctors and two paramedics.

Of those, at least 44 “were abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces from the hospitals where they were working”, Healthcare Workers Watch said, noting that 115 more Palestinian healthcare workers from Gaza are still in Israeli detention.

Dr Muath Alser, the cofounder and director of Healthcare Workers Watch, said that Israel’s “systematic abduction of healthcare workers is a war crime” that has seen highly trained medical professionals held unlawfully and Palestinians deprived of medical care.

Alser called for Israel to “immediately and unconditionally release all the detained healthcare workers, including the bodies of those tortured to death in detention”.

Samer Abu Diak, released to occupied West Bank, who was beaten by Israeli occupation troops before his release.

He was held as captive for two decades and his brother Sami, imprisoned since he was a teenager, died in Israeli occupation captivity after 17 years imprisonment in 2019.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

The AI slop / The reality

Joe Biden tweet:

@JoeBiden
I am deeply grateful and relieved that this day has come – for the last living 20 hostages who have been through unimaginable hell and are finally reunited with their families and loved ones, and for the civilians in Gaza who have experienced immeasurable loss and will finally get the chance to rebuild their lives.

The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war. I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line.

Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety.
