It seems only the Marinette is still sailing toward #Gaza. All other boats have already been—or are assumed to have been—illegally intercepted by Israeli forces, sanctimoniously claiming that it's the brave people of the #FreedomFlotilla, not them, who are breaking international law.

Not sure if it said so earlier, but the menu on the left-hand side currently states 0.00 knots as the Mikeno's speed, which suggests the vessel (was) stopped. Please let at least one of them arrive...
Despite numerous illegal interceptions by the Israeli forces, it now appears that one of the vessels of the #FreedomFlotilla, the Mikeno, is less than 10 nautical miles (less than 20 km) away from the coast of Gaza, according to the official tracker.
This really makes you want to rewatch one of Agassi's old matches — and Venus's next one!

Israel kills Al Jazeera journalists in targeted Gaza City airstrike - Committee to Protect Journalists

"The Committee to Protect Journalists is appalled to learn of the killing today of Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, camera operators Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal, and an unnamed assistant by Israeli forces in Gaza."
The primary concern of #Germany's so-called "ban" on weapons used in #Gaza isn't Palestinian life, but the preservation of Germany's self-image, so that its elite can continue a neo-colonial project in partnership with Zionism, writes Majed Abusalama.

#Korea is considered relatively safe, with gun violence rare and violent crimes in public spaces uncommon. Femicides and violence against women are widespread, however, yet authorities remain indifferent, writes @hawonjung.
#Korea: Employer fined 3m won (~$2,200) over abuse of Sri Lankan employee at brick manufacturing plant. Inspection found 12 labor law violations, incl. unpaid wages totaling 29m won. Accused worker faces up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 50m won.
Couldn't have said it better: Cars and trucks are unpredictable around motorcycles, and riding somewhat faster carries less risk than staying in someone's blind spot or going slower than other traffic.
@getchtchern Je n'en avais pas entendu parler. Merci de l'avoir partagé.
@getchtchern Je comprends votre sentiment, mais il y a en fait de nombreux survivants (et autres juifs) qui s'expriment contre le génocide contre le peuple palestinien commis par Israël (soutenu par les États-Unis, l'Allemagne et de nombreux autres pays).

Over the years, I've been surprised a few times when I learned that people who, unlike Haya Adam, didn't quite strike me as the kind were in fact graduates from my alma mater. Looks like SOAS either changed a lot or—more likely—I never saw it for what it is.
May the best player win, but I turned off the sound now. The audience is insufferable. There is a way to support your local heroine without being disrespectful to the opponent.
"Maja symbolizes the increasing attacks on freedom and #humanrights today. Whoever stands for Maja also stands for democracy and the rule of law while simultaneously standing against authoritarian and fascist tendencies. That is the stance we desperately need to take today." – Wolfram Jarosch, father of Maja T.
There are ways to show solidarity with Palestinians (e.g., donating to Gaza Soup Kitchen); express disgust at governments and institutions enabling Israel's genocide (e.g., joining protests or supporting the BDS Movement); and critiquing Emily Damari's statements without verbally abusing a traumatized woman.
