A piercing chorus of tooting horns and dockers shouting “we don’t want you” greeted an Israeli-owned container ship when it arrived in Livorno, a port city on the coast of Tuscany this week.

For two days, the striking dockworkers stood their ground, refusing to unload and reload the ship’s cargo in a display of defiant solidarity for Palestinians and the Global Sumud flotilla attempting to bring aid to Gaza. The protest was a triumph and the ship, bound for the US and Canada, left.

From Genoa, Trieste and Ravenna in the north, to Salerno and Taranto in the south, in recent weeks port workers across Italy have succeeded in obstructing ships believed to have been carrying weapons for Israel, as opposition to the country’s war in Gaza intensifies.

Does Valve set the prices? I thought it was the publishers/developers/who ever manages the steam product listing.
in reply to squaresinger

it's the devs/publishers yes

some time ago Palworld devs lowered the regional price for Poland as they noticed it was relatively more expensive for Poles to buy the game, they got a lot of praise for that

in reply to shneancy

I think Poland is just in the crappy position of not being on developers/publishers radars and being lumped in with other nearby countries when it comes to pricing.

I've heard similar complaints of polish people for all sorts of platforms, not only steam.

And I think them not having the euro probably adds to the situation since the value of the polish zloty has been going up compared to the euro.

So if publishers set the price to the euro equivalent in 2022, and the Zloty rose by 20% compared to the Euro in the mean time, you end up with the prices that are there now.

The difference to the USD over the same time is even more stark at 36%.

in reply to PattyMcB

In the Reddit thread about the rejected NSFW updates, Crimson Delight have only good things to say about Valve's handling of the situation. "I have to say the reviewer was kind and forthcoming, we didn't feel threatened or bullied in any way, and we got the feeling they were trying to do their best to help devs navigate the process," developer Frenzin writes. "But the fact of the matter is that Valve has payment processors breathing down their neck, and the rules keep getting stricter as time goes on."

"Valve isn't the problem here," Frenzin continues. "The big credit card companies are. If anything, Valve has stood up to them and pushed back. They could've simply nuked the 18+ section of Steam, but they didn't, they stuck up for developers. Obviously adult games make Valve money, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of Steam's catalogue. Silksong itself probably earned Valve more than most NSFW titles put together.

"Given that we're erogame devs, we're against any sort of censorship (as long as the content isn't sexualizing minors or nonconsensual in any way)," the developer comments. "But it's important to understand where the real problem lies, and it's not with Valve."

in reply to AwesomeLowlander

They simply could‘ve nuked the 18+ section of Steam.


Was this ever a demand by payment processors??? To remove games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077? I really don‘t see how this is evidence of Valve pushing back against anything. Perhaps people need to stop brainlessly sucking off Valve‘s dick for a minute.

Valve axed smut games because it was an easy business decision requiring minimum effort. They chose the boring and predictable path of lowest resistance which is the exact opposite of what they‘re being praised for here. Of course it‘s mildly annoying for Valve and they would rather sell whatever they want but they‘re not fighting for customers here at all.

18+ in this discussion refers to sex and nudity, not violence.

Valve axed smut games


They have NOT axed smut games, which is the primary reason we are still capable of having this discussion.

They chose the boring and predictable path of lowest resistance which is the exact opposite of what they‘re being praised for here. Of course it‘s mildly annoying for Valve and they would rather sell whatever they want but they‘re not fighting for customers here at all.


Weird how the smut developers, the ones who are most affected by this situation, have a diametrically opposed view of the situation than you do.

in reply to themachinestops

honestly good, from what i've noticed adult games are waaaaaay more likely to become early access abandonware, i guess once the horniness runs out so does the motivation. and i'd like to finally play a game that's horny, good, and finished. i may be into edging and denial but only consentually, ok?

Having a nightmare time with Jellyfin.


I am having the worst time with Jellyfin and getting started. I downloaded everything that was needed, got the account made and all that. However, two issues: 1- can't get Jellyfin to find my folders for music or videos, and 2- can't seem to login with a different device to engage in streaming. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help?
- Edit: I am running CachyOS, and how I downloaded was mixed through AUR and Octopi for dependencies
Questa voce è stata modificata (4 settimane fa)
in reply to fleebleneeble

I would install it with docker (moreover docker compose) preferably. Easier to maintain and troubleshot.
Anyway, for 1, make sure jellyfin has the rights to see your video and music folders.
For 2, are you trying to do it from the same network or from outside?



Chicagoans mobilize to oppose Trump’s threats of military occupation


Chicago march against Trump's threats to send in troops.

Chicago, IL – On September 30, 1500 Chicagoans marched down Magnificent Mile to protest Trump’s threats of using the city as a military training ground. This past week has seen the effects of Operation Blitz in full force, with heavy presence of ICE and other federal agents conducting deportations. Trump’s speech to top U.S. generals the same day showed he intends to escalate the federal occupation with the military.

Ramped up repression means ramped up fight back!

“They are dehumanizing our communities. They are inflicting terror on our families. Separating families. Let’s not forget that when ICE murdered Silverio [Villegas-Gonzalez], the only thing they said was that he was an illegal. They did not say that he was a father, a worker, and a member of our community,” said Gabriela Hernandezm of Casa DuPage, speaking to the crowd in Spanish.

Hernandez also stated, “We are here today, protesting again, to tell this administration that the Mexicano/Latino community are not criminals. It is the time for us to speak firmly and clearly about these things, because if not, they will come to silence all of us.”

Reverend Jonathan Brooks of Live Free Illinois stated, “ICE has been accused of violating a consent decree meant to protect families from warrantless arrests. This disregard for legal protections tears at the very fabric of trust in our democracy.”

Brooks continued, “A federal judge has already ruled that targeting deportations based on political speech is unconstitutional – yet ICE continues to act as if it is above the law. Let’s be clear: this is not about safety. This is about authoritarianism, fear and control. Our communities do not need to be occupied – they need to be respected.”

“We saw over the weekend how ICE agents shamelessly occupied the streets of downtown and detained fellow residents. Over in Broadview, protesters and journalists are being shot at, teargassed, and brutalized. In a raid in South Shore just last night, ICE, FBI and other federal agents ransacked 70 apartments, knocked down doors, threw stuff all over the place, and detained 50 people – including Black U.S. citizens,” said Angel Naranjo of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO).

Naranjo continued, “Trump hates Chicago because he is a racist reactionary who represents the class enemy – the monopoly capitalist class – and this enemy can’t stand us. Trump and his lackeys are mad and ramping up their attacks – and so we’re ramping up our fight back! The masses of our city – and in particular the Black, Chicano/Latino, immigrant and working-class masses – are putting up a just fight against this rotten imperialist system that is tearing apart our families and occupying our neighborhoods! We are building a movement to stop the raids, and our demand is legalization for all undocumented people.”

“What we need right now is solidarity. The solidarity that Fred Hampton talked about. The solidarity that Assata Shakur deserved. We need solidarity with federal workers, with day laborers, teachers, nurses, warehouse workers. We need solidarity across unions. All public unions, trade unions, across communities. We need the solidarity of all working people,” said Jill Manrique of Chicago Jobs for Justice.

A member of Students for Justice in Palestine – Chicago (SJP Chicago) ended the program by reminding the crowd, ”The kidnapping of families and workers, and the occupations of our city’s streets is just an escalation of policy that has been standard in this nation since its inception.”

After the program, Chicagoans loudly marched down Magnificent Mile, one of the biggest commercial corridors in the city. Protests ended at the Water Tower, finishing with Assata’s “It is our duty to fight for our freedom” chant.

Enemies from within

“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. Cuz we’re going into Chicago very soon,” said Trump in front of the U.S. top military leaders, stating that there were enemies from within that the military must apprehend.

Trump's deployment of federal forces is an escalation of the ongoing occupation of Black, Chicano/Latino, and working-class communities by the Chicago Police Department (CPD). Trump aims to ramp up this oppression and squash the working and oppressed people who are getting organized to fight back against this. From the 2020 George Floyd rebellion, to the 2025 LA uprising against ICE, working and oppressed are wanting and mobilizing for an end to this terror. The ruling class of this country knows this, and is ramping to continue its grip of oppressed people in this country.

Join the resistance!

This mobilization was called by the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda (CATA), a coalition of over 80 organizations building a united front against the reactionary Trump administration. Sign up to get notified when the next mobilization happens at coalitionagainsttrumpagenda.org

Join the resistance! Trump has a long oppressive agenda, and we’re here to defeat all of it.



Polarization rocks U.S. military


New Orleans, LA – On September 30, “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth blew his bugle for the military’s next crusade. The world’s biggest and baddest armed forces folded in Afghanistan and burned in Vietnam. Hegseth and Trump looked at these defeats, and many more, then scratched their chins. At last, they ferreted out Benedict Arnold: DEI.

Top brass from across the globe scrambled to Quantico to hear about it. Hegseth attacked “fat generals,” women, “men in dresses,” “weak men,” and supposed diversity hires. He announced he’d whip troops into shape by prohibiting beards, narrowing hazing protections, and replacing gender-neutral expectations with “male-standard” physical training. Trump followed by parading a $1 trillion 2026 military budget.

Military meeting or MAGA sales pitch?

“All-hands” high-level gatherings are routine, but this one stood out. It was a full court press to build consensus against “wokeness.”

“What made this meeting so notable is that today’s military is buffeted by an atmosphere of extreme partisan polarization,” wrote former National Security Council staffer Peter Feaver.

Commentators saluted the officers for listening with their poker faces on. It’s supposed to be a win for keeping politics out of the military. But many haven’t kept their cards close to their chests.

“Could have been an email,” one officer told Politico. Another described the conference as an “inexcusable strategic risk.”

“I suspect it’s not being taken well,” retired Lt. General Mark Hertling told MSNBC.

These comments expose that polarization hasn’t been staved off; it’s already running deep. It’s come up before, everywhere from shaving rules to the trans ban. The latter was opposed by 56 retired generals and admirals.

Take it to the streets, see who comes out on top

The sharpest flashpoint has been the National Guard’s occupation of major cities. Trump called them “training grounds” for troops. He states plainly that these takeovers, in Black and Chicano urban areas, go fist-in-glove with imperialism abroad.

Trump’s takeovers have escalated deportations and racist arrests. Although the National Guardsmen do not have powers of arrest themselves, they give backup to federal agents to go after people on petty or trumped-up charges. On Fight Back! Radio, a DC Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression activist described how agents have detained people for legally smoking weed.

But these occupations have prompted a wave of mass resistance. Protests have sprung up in every city that Trump has targeted, and even local politicians are speaking up. “Training grounds” indeed – for the united front against Trump.

The court system is taking notice. The Guardian reported that DC has seen unprecedented lows in indictments by grand juries on charges related to the Trump takeover, even if a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich.

Pushed on by the fightback from civilians, soldiers up and down the chain aren’t buying that there’s an “enemy within.” One officer told Politico that these deployments “distract warfighters.” At least eleven former generals criticized the Los Angeles takeover. The Guardian reported that dozens of troops deployed to LA voiced anger about being political pawns. One said the assignment was “shitty.”

“Disoriented, demoralized, and ineffective”

This isn’t to say there’s a revolt within the armed forces. But they face a different kind of problem – disorganization.

In Foreign Affairs, Peter Fever writes: “Over the course of their professional lives, these military officers are likely to serve a large chunk of their time under both parties. If they become identified as partisans of one, they may be viewed as enemies of the other—starting a cycle of partisan purges that leaves the military disoriented, demoralized, and ineffective, as has happened in other purge-prone militaries.”

To complicate things further, this divided force is running up against a fragmented legal system. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the federal military from participating in general law enforcement without a state’s consent. It’s the basis for the California ruling against the occupation of Los Angeles. Effectively, cities in blue states have this legal avenue against the deployments. States like Louisiana, where Trump crony Governor Jeff Landry requested federal assistance, are a different terrain.

Polarization in the military, like in the rest of the U.S., is a sign of imperialism’s decline. Hegseth admitted to this decline when he compared the aftermath of Vietnam to the U.S.’s position today. In Vietnam, like in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. tried to rally other imperialists under the banner of “spreading democracy.” But out with these ambitious, ideological wars. In with the wars of naked and narrow self-interest. It’s the desperate gambit of an empire losing its grip. Mounting abuses of military power come with the territory. But, after all, Americans have resisted the likes of this since 1776.

Hegseth Says Four ‘Narco-Terrorists’ Killed in Latest US Attack on Venezuela Boat


The US has attacked multiple Venezuelan boats in recent weeks, with US officials saying the goal of the strikes is regime change in Venezuela as opposed to the war on drugs. Along with the airstrikes of boats, a US destroyer boarded and seized a Venezuelan boat in mid-September, which the Venezuelan government insists was a tuna fishing vessel.

in reply to femur

I hope not. I also see that one of the few smart things Maduro has done recently is to not give the USA an excuse to attack Venezuela.

It feels similar to what happened in the first Trump administration against Iran.




in reply to silence7

Why does this article insist on pretending that the report was unintentionally wrong?
in reply to blargle

Presumably because you'd have to prove in court that there was intention.
in reply to blargle

This seems to be as close as they get:

This serves as a litmus test for the report’s scientific credibility. A commitment to scientific integrity requires the authors to produce a point-by-point response to the expert comments, overseen by an independent review editor.

A refusal to do so would suggest that the report should be viewed as an advocacy piece rather than a scientific document, and its conclusions should be treated with caution.

Kansas special session on trans law would be 'more important than redistricting'


Top Kansas Republicans want the Legislature to hold a special session to amend a state law related to transgender people, which they say is "even more important than redistricting."

The move comes after the Kansas Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Attorney General Kris Kobach related to Senate Bill 180. That 2023 law is the subject of a legal dispute over whether it blocks trans people from changing their gender marker on their driver's license.

It also comes at a time when Republicans are moving toward calling a special session on redistricting with a goal of gerrymandering the congressional district maps.

casini palestrinesi e la rogna del popolo quando puzza di niente o di tutto


La giornata d’oggi è andata tutto ok, per me, senza incidenti costosi… motivo per cui è proprio il momento perfetto per fare la democristiana — come al solito, ma pericolosamente più del solito; si prega di godere a riguardo — parlando circa la più attuale attualità che ha visto il più sventurato resto del nostro paese (o del mondo?) oggi… perché non riesco a capire tutta l’ultima questione a proposito dello sciopero per la Palestina; nel senso che pure stavolta non si riesce ad essere non dico d’accordo tra le parti, ma a stare un minimo tranquilli… 😓

Con lo sciopero di settembre già avevo sentito rogne, ma tutto sommato niente di ché; hanno fatto cose non buone in 1 sola città (il tugurio che già è Milano… quindi in realtà niente di valore fu perduto), e ovviamente i governanti hanno strumentalizzato la cosa, e le pecore che gli vanno appresso hanno quindi urlato… ma per il resto andò tutto bene e poca gente si è lamentata (almeno, su Internet ho visto meno cose cringe, poi boh). Con quello di oggi, però veramente ho letto cose… da un lato troppi cortei disordinati e sfocianti comunque in un dato livello di violenza, dall’altro gente “alternativa”, “contro il pensiero unico” che fa tutta l’indignata ed insulta o augura il male a chi supporta lo sciopero, e di risposta quelli della prima categoria che fanno lo stesso indietro a loro… che schifo. 💔

Se devo essere sincera e dire la mia precisamentepiù o meno, perché su tutta la storia ho idee che non si assimilano né al mainstream né ai complottari malefici di cui sopra, e servirebbe un post solo per spiegarle bene, quindi evito ora (…ma, se qualcuno proprio ci tiene, si può presentare di fronte casa mia e andiamo al bar; e, ovviamente, il caffé mi deve essere offerto, quindi astenersi poveri) — questo sciopero non mi sta super a genio… perché, per quanto Israele non mi stia per niente simpatico, neanche certe cose palestinesi le trovo buone… però, capisco e non critico, e anzi farei i complimenti a chi partecipa, perché comunque dietro c’è un’idea di bene e pace (magari poco pensata, ma oggettivamente c’è)… Non è che, visto che le premesse secondo me sono fallate, allora ho il diritto morale di dire le cose brutte. 🙄

…Certo, al contempo non mi piace per niente se, da idee apprezzabili, ci si fa trasportare troppo di lato e si finisce per fare il disastro, e si usa quindi la forza, come stavolta invece è successo in diverse città; qui “da me”, per dire, hanno provato a forzare il blocco anti-blocco della polizia (…non si dice così, ma ci siamo capiti) al porto, che non è buono… così come non è buono che la polizia abbia risposto a sua volta con la violenza fisica, contro anche dei minorenni… ma a cosa mai può portare la violenza se non ad altra violenza? Stop violenza, porca troia. Stop violenza qui da noi e, ovviamente — lo auspico ogni volta che mi ricordo, quindi da diverse volte al giorno a quantomeno svariate volte alla settimana — stop violenza in medio oriente, ma stop violenza sempre e ovunque, che non ce la faccio più a vivere sapendo queste cose. 😭

…Ah, e stop anche ignavismo; c’è tanta gente che all’apparenza sarebbe simile a me in questi pensieri, ma in realtà semplicemente non se ne frega proprio… e anche questo, per me, non è buono affatto, perché non bisogna mai chiudere gli occhi ai mali del mondo solo perché non ci toccano personalmente. Io agli scioperi in piazza non ci sono andata, perché come detto non sono d’accordissimo, e poi stamattina (purtroppo!!!) le mie lezioni c’erano regolarmente… Ma, ieri pomeriggio, all’università, in più di un’ora in cui non avevo nulla da fare, essendo passato lo strambo corteo palestinese (circa ricollegabile ai poli umanistici) che faceva semplicemente un giro con le bandiere e i canti, di mia spontanea volontà l’ho seguito, pur senza spiccicare una sillaba, così, per sfizio… mentre tizi altrettanto strambi e che non conosco (pochi eh, ma comunque), ma lì del polo di informatica, quando questi sono passati a far casino per invogliare gente ad unirsi, hanno ridacchiato o detto cose inutili (…e, stranamente, ma strano solo per modo di dire, questi erano solo ragazzi… le altre ragazze lì non hanno fiatato, similmente a me, pur rimanendo magari nelle proprie cose e non unendosi). Da come fanno, sembra che non gli possa fregare di meno dei bambini che muoiono e tutto quanto… boh, non mi piace che la gente sia così. 😶
Vista dalla fessura come descritto, della gente fuori con la bandieraVista della bandiera palestinese verso il cielo da qualche metro di distanza sotto di fronteAllego due (2) foto che ho scattato ieri, a proposito… di cui una fa ridere, perché vedevo il corteo fermo dove stavo io dalle fessure dell’aula studio… proprio come se li osservassi dalle pareti, dove normalmente vivo. E, nota a margine che forse può tornare utile per qualche burla, almeno per chi vive in ufficio o a scuola: questi qui usavano rotoli di scotch per fare rumore, sbattendoli su parti di metallo o plastica di interni ed esterni, come porte o infissi o boh… e non avevo mai visto niente del genere, ma è geniale, per quanto bordello fa pur essendo per via di un oggetto che in genere non appare rumoroso! (Anche se poi a me, tutto sommato, i cortei bordellosi manco piacciono… preferisco, per così dire, quelli più da anziani, ma pazienza.)

Treasury Department Has Plans To Mint Dollar Coin Featuring Donald Trump's Likeness




Quantum Breakthrough Lets Individual Atoms Chat Like Never Before


Scientists at UNSW have achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing by entangling nuclear spins across distances of up to 20 nanometers in a silicon chip - the same scale as modern computer transistors[^1].

The team demonstrated a two-qubit controlled-Z logic operation between the nuclear spins of two phosphorus atoms, with each atom binding separate electrons that mediate the interaction through exchange coupling[^1]. They proved genuine quantum entanglement by preparing and measuring Bell states with 76% fidelity[^1].

"The spin of an atomic nucleus is the cleanest, most isolated quantum object one can find in the solid state," said Professor Andrea Morello from UNSW[^2]. Previous methods required nuclei to be very close together and share a common electron, limiting scalability. This new approach uses separate electrons as "telephones" to let distant nuclei communicate[^2].

Lead author Dr. Holly Stemp explains the significance: "You have billions of silicon transistors in your pocket or in your bag right now, each one about 20 nanometers in size. This is our real technological breakthrough: getting our cleanest and most isolated quantum objects talking to each other at the same scale as existing electronic devices."[^2]

The method remains compatible with current semiconductor manufacturing, using phosphorus atoms implanted in ultra-pure silicon. Professor Morello notes: "Our method is remarkably robust and scalable. Here we just used two electrons, but in the future we can even add more electrons, and force them in an elongated shape, to spread out the nuclei even further."[^2]

The clip, styled like a 1990s commercial, features palm trees, waterfalls, hidden rooms, and an “Orange Man” action figure resembling president Donald Trump that repeats the phrase, “don’t release the files.”

It also includes references to secret surveillance cameras and a massage room, directly invoking allegations of sex trafficking and abuse tied to Epstein’s island.

Epstein, a financier with ties to powerful figures, died in jail in 2019 while facing federal charges. Trump has maintained that he had no involvement in Epstein's crimes.

Bondi’s firing of federal prosecutor in Miami might upend big Medicare fraud trial


U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi fired a federal prosecutor in Miami last week because he had posted critical blog commentary about Donald Trump during his first term as president — a poltically fraught decision that is threatening an upcoming trial.

Prosecutors, who are alleging millions of dollars in false insurance billing for medical equipment, telemedicine and other services, are expected to present more than 40



The White House is withholding billions of dollars of funding for mass transit projects in Chicago as part of Trump’s government shutdown revenge campaign against Democrats.


“$2.1 billion in Chicago infrastructure projects—specifically the Red Line Extension and the Red and Purple Modernization Project—have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing via race-based contracting,” budget director and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought wrote in a post on X.


Energy Department canceling over $7 billion in funding for clean energy projects


Conveniently, all canceled projects happen to be in states that voted for Harris.

This is pretty much textbook "the beatings will continue until morale improves."

White House budget director Russ Vought wrote on social media that the state, along with 15 others that backed former Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid last year, would see project funding cut. Harris beat Trump in the 2024 election here by more than four percentage points.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said 223 projects were reviewed and, quote, "did not adequately advance the nation's energy needs, were not economically viable and would not provide a positive return on investment of taxpayer dollars," unquote.

Megachurch pastor and ex-Trump adviser pleads guilty to child sexual abuse


Cindy Clemishire, 55, the woman who publicly identified herself as the victim of Morris’s sexual abuse, was present in the courtroom as he pleaded guilty. In a prepared statement she told him: “There is no such thing as consent from a 12-year-old child. We were never in an ‘inappropriate relationship.’ I was not a ‘young lady’ but a child. You committed a crime against me.”

A leaked transcript of a phone call revealed that in 2005 Morris tried to bribe Clemishire into silence, telling her to “put a price on it”.

He also became a spiritual adviser to Donald Trump. He joined the White House spiritual advisory committee during the first Trump presidency and was part of a campaign to mobilize evangelical voters for him in last year’s presidential campaign.

Trump also visited Gateway church in 2020 where he praised Morris and his senior team as “great people with a great reputation”.

Andiamo a trovare un albero


La fuori il mondo sta diventando di cemento.
La fuori chi corre corre su asfalto.
La fuori ci sono ancora Alberi che resistono.

Quando corriamo lo facciamo all'aperto, i più fortunati possono correre in un bosco o in montagna, altri lo fanno in un parco cittadino.
Quello che accomuna i vari ambienti sono gli alberi gli alberi sono esseri viventi magnifici che ci aiutano in molti aspetti della vita.

Indipendemente dal nostro livello di esperienza nella corsa quando siamo demotivati nell'uscire per un motivo o per l'altro pensiamo ad una cosa assurda: ora esco e vado a trovare gli alberi.

Loro sono sempre li che ci aspettano e allugnare un po' per conoscere nuovi alberi ci rafforza ci motiva, ci rilassa.

Forse è da matti pensare di uscire per andare a trovare gli alberi ma in fondo corriamo per noi la normalità è la nostra normalità quella di chi non corre non ci importa!

Buone corse

Israel declares 600,000 in Gaza City 'military targets,' cuts off lifeline from south


cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6322111

At least 600,000 Palestinians are currently under siege in Gaza City amid the Israeli army's ongoing bombardment, encirclement, and expulsion campaign, the New Arab reported on 2 October.

On Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that all Palestinians remaining in the city must abandon their homes, pass Israeli checkpoints, and move to tent encampments in the south, stressing that anyone who stays will be considered a “terrorist” or “terrorist supporter” and targeted by invading Israeli forces.

Now is the “last opportunity for Gaza residents” to move south, Katz said.

Israeli forces have currently blocked all travel northward on the Rashid coastal road, cutting off the city's last surviving lifeline for humanitarian aid and preventing Palestinians who had moved south temporarily in search of food and shelter from returning.

“The only safe road for bringing in food and medicine has been cut. Announcements and speeches mean nothing if aid cannot reach civilians,” stated Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson of the Gaza civil defense, in a press statement.

While the Israeli military expected a mass exodus to the south, between 600,000 and 700,000 Palestinians remain in Gaza City, the UN estimated

Did anyone tell the bankers they will suffer and die under a hothouse earth, and the banking profession won't survive either? When you can't even act out of self preservation, you will go extinct.

They lived their life relaxing in a hot-tub. Now that their greed has made it a boiling pot, they're tossing their children in to burn and gaslighting them that they have a legacy.

They tried nothing and ran out of ideas. So might as well call it quits.
