Israel on Tuesday said it had
💥suspended more than two dozen humanitarian organizations,
including "Doctors Without Borders" and CARE,
from operating in the Gaza Strip
for failing to comply with new registration rules.
Israel says the rules are aimed at preventing Hamas and other militant groups from infiltrating the aid organizations.
But the organizations say the rules are arbitrary and warned that the new ban would harm a civilian population desperately in need of humanitarian aid.
Israel has claimed throughout the war that Hamas was siphoning off aid supplies -- a charge the U.N. and aid groups have denied.
New rules, announced by Israel early this year, require aid organizations to register the names of their workers and provide details about funding and operations in order to continue working in Gaza.
The new regulations included #ideological #requirements
— including disqualifying organizations that have
called for boycotts against Israel,
denied the Oct. 7 attack
or expressed support for any of the international court cases against Israeli soldiers or leaders.
Israel’s "Ministry of Diaspora Affairs" said
🆘 more than 30 groups
— about 15% of the organizations operating in Gaza
— had failed to comply
and that their operations would be suspended.
It also said that Doctors Without Borders,
one of the biggest and best-known groups in Gaza,
had failed to respond to Israeli claims that some of its workers were affiliated with Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

#Trump Keeps Winning at the #SupremeCourt. There Are Two Convincing #Theories Why. https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https%3A%2F%2Fslate.com%2Fnews-and-politics%2F2025%2F10%2Ftrump-winning-supreme-court-theories-john-roberts.html #Republican# justices have very strong #ideological commitment to very very powerful #presidency. That’s what this unitary executive theory that they’re all in love with is all about. So maybe they’re doing it just because they R on board 2 it. I think there is another more cynical explanation 4 what they r doing which is that they might think that Trump’s politics may not be sustainable.
For a summary of recent SCOTUS back-stabbings🔪, see this list from the Guardian:
“…like Congress, the Republican majority on the supreme court has lined up behind most of the president’s sweeping assertions of novel powers. [novel ~ kind of like Corona virus]
- The supreme court has #blocked lower federal court #rulings that had reined in the president’s #authority to withhold #medical research #grants for #ideological reasons.
- It has allowed the executive branch to deploy roving [masked] immigration #patrols to engage in racial #profiling
- to expel noncitizens to countries on the brink of civil wars where they could face #torture trafficking or death;
- to fire ‘non-regime-friendly’ officials (in #violation of federal law);
- to #dismantle entire departments and more.”
'The End of History and the Last Man is a 1992 book of #political #philosophy by American political scientist #FrancisFukuyama which argues that with the ascendancy of Western #liberal #democracy... humanity has reached "not just... the passing of a particular period of post-war #history, but the end of history as such: That is, the end-point of mankind's #ideological #evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy"'

President Trump’s War on “Woke AI” Is a #CivilLiberties Nightmare
A new executive order called “Preventing #WokeAI in the Federal Government,” released alongside the #AIActionPlan , seeks to strong-arm #AI companies into modifying their models to conform with the #Trump Administration’s #ideological agenda.

Good to see an organized response to the RFKJr idiocy. #MAHA is to #PublicHealth what #MAGA is to good #governance. Both absurd #ideological responses fail to address the root causes for problems we face. But both excellent at #blaming_THEM for problems, while aggravating the real problems.
Trump’s Anti-Bias #AI Order Is Just More #Bias
The #Trump administration says it wants AI models free from #ideological bias, as it pressures their developers to reflect the president’s worldview.
https://www.wired.com/story/trump-ai-order-bias-openai-google/
The actions come as #Trump & his top aides seek to bend #academic institutions to their #ideological beliefs. The #State Dept’s public *diplomacy* office is run by #DarrenBeattie, a political appointee who was fired from a job during the first Trump admin after he gave a talk at a #WhiteNationalist conference. He has made social media posts on white grievances, including one saying “competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.”…
The #disinformation also added to the confusion over what exactly was happening on the streets, which was portrayed in digital & #SocialMedia [& #RightWing *news* #media] through starkly divergent #ideological lenses. Many posts created the false impression that the entire city was engulfed in violence, when the few clashes were limited to only very small parts.
