"Dear Tereza,

I’m sorry for not being around these past days, but Daddy was trying to bring food to other children as beautiful as you. Unfortunately, they are starving because some people don’t understand that every human being has the right to freedom.

Your father is one of the millions of people doing something to end the greatest violation of rights of our generation.

I truly hope to come home soon. I think of you and your mother every day. And that is why I cannot accept that the world we live in has so much exploitation, oppression, and destruction.

Do not be afraid for your father. I am okay and hopeful."

Doubling down on the conflation of Zionism and Judaism won’t stop violent attacks.

Gaza (Quds News Network)- The Gaza Strip has plunged into a complete internet and communication blackout after Israeli attacks severed the last remaining fiber-optic line, the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority announced on Thursday.

The authority confirmed that fixed-line internet and telecommunication services are now entirely cut off across Gaza, including the central and southern regions, which have now joined the digital silence already imposed on Gaza City and the north for the past two days.

“This is the result of systematic attacks on Gaza’s already fragile telecom infrastructure,” the authority said in a statement. Technicians have tried multiple times to repair and reroute damaged lines, but Israeli restrictions have blocked all efforts.

After Denying Massacring Civilians Seeking Aid, Israel Routinely Massacres Civilians Seeking Aid (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-06-11)

>> Since May 27, some 160 people have reportedly been killed in massacres at these #GHF sites, which people in Gaza are reportedly beginning to refer to as a “death trap”.

>> But, again, … Israel and its spinmeisters were crying antisemitic blood libel at the very suggestion that #IDF troops would fire upon people trying to obtain food.

>> Even without the CNN report [https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/04/middleeast/israel-military-gaza-aid-shooting-intl-invs], Israel’s own actions since June 1 have proved that Israeli forces do indeed deliberately fire upon starving civilians seeking humanitarian aid. Israel lied. Again.

>> … They’ve been caught lying so many times that there is no reason to take any of their denials seriously.

Zur Einstufung der Jüdischen Stimme und BDS als “gesichert extremistisch” durch den Verfassungsschutz (2025-06-12)

The US is lobbying foreign governments not to attend a UN conference next week sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a US diplomatic cable reported by Reuters.

The cable, sent to countries on Tuesday, warns them against taking "anti-Israel actions" and says attending the conference would be viewed by Washington as acting against US foreign policy interests.

France, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, is a US ally in Nato. Saudi Arabia is one of the US’s closest Middle East partners.

The single explosion destroyed more than 4,000 embryos and over 1,000 vials of sperm and unfertilized eggs. Dr Bahaeldeen Ghalayini, the obstetrician who established the clinic, summed up the implications of the attack in an interview with Reuters: “5,000 lives in one shell.”

The strike was an act of reprocide: the systematic targeting of a community’s reproductive health with the intention of eliminating their future. In the context of Israel’s ongoing genocidal war in Gaza, reprocide serves as a tactic. Indeed, genocide includes its definition, “imposing measures intended to prevent births” within a particular national, ethnic or religious group.

The bombing of the IVF clinic was one spectacular example, but as a Palestinian women’s rights activist from Gaza, I have lived and witnessed how Israel uses reprocide within a settler colonial framework that seeks not only territorial domination but demographic erasure—a process that began long before October 7, 2023.

When I was 15 years old, following the Israeli assault on Gaza in 2008–2009, Israeli soldiers began wearing and distributing t-shirts that depicted a pregnant woman in crosshairs above the slogan “1 Shot 2 Kills.” I recall the fear felt by the pregnant women I knew. The t-shirts prompted people around me to recount stories of pregnant women being killed or wounded during other moments of extreme violence in Palestinian history, from the start of the Nakba in 1948 to the Sabra and Shatila massacres in 1982. Underscoring the eliminationist nature of this violence, Israel remains among the world’s leaders in assisted reproduction technology, actively encouraging birth rates among Jewish citizens.

In an effort to trace the effects of reprocide amid Israel’s ongoing genocidal war, between October 2023 and October 2024, I collected ethnographic evidence—voice notes, text messages, emails and phone calls—from those enduring or witnessing reproductive violence. Analyzing their accounts alongside official reports from Gaza reveals the many ways Israel has weaponized reproduction, some more obvious than others: from the direct assaults on reproductive health and infrastructure to the conditions it forces women and men to reproduce under to sexual violence and its role in reproductive erasure.

>> Speaking upon arrival in Paris en route to her home country of Sweden, Thunberg called for the release of the other activists who were detained aboard the Madleen...

>> ...The activists were held separately and some had trouble accessing lawyers, she added.

>> Asked why she agreed to deportation, she said, “Why would I want to stay in an Israeli prison more than necessary?”

>> Thunberg called on supporters to ask their governments “to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but most importantly an end to the occupation and an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.”..

Israel is demanding that she signs an illegal deportation order, Even though they were kidnapped on international waters and being held hostage inside Israel.

This is outrageous and sadly not many politicians seem to care protesting it and calling for Israel to be held accountable

Where are the #FreeTheHostages people now?

Don't they have empathy for the kidnapped volunteers of #FreedomFlotilla?

Does anyone care about their safety and well being?
