Israel Is Now Blaming the UN for Its Famine. Here’s the Reality.
Ryan Grim
Jul 24, 2025
The Israeli government has pivoted to a new deflection: The famine in Gaza is not the result of Israel’s publicly announced March 2 blockade of all food entering Gaza, nor is it connected to the Israeli- and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which replaced the UNRWA aid system Israel shut down with its own militarized version in late May. Instead, according to the new Israeli campaign, the blame lies with the United Nations. “Hundreds of aid trucks have entered Gaza with Israel’s approval, but the supplies are standing idle, undelivered,” the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared on X. “The reason? The UN refuses to distribute the aid.”

CIA Realizes It’s Been Using Black Highlighters All These Years
LANGLEY, VA—A report released Tuesday by the CIA’s Office of the Inspector General revealed that the CIA has mistakenly obscured hundreds of thousands of pages of critical intelligence information with black highlighters.
According to the report, sections of the documents— “almost invariably the most crucial passages”—are marred by an indelible black ink that renders the lines impossible to read, due to a top-secret highlighting policy that began at the agency’s inception in 1947.

Former hughes repair guy here. If it's your only choice, sure. But it's utter trash. It's susceptible to so many environmental conditions. Certain geographical areas can experience various service levels too. Data caps will sneak up on you faster than you realize too. Not to mention the pole or tripod mount that has to be installed, yard dug up and holes drilled into the house. Seen plenty of tripod mounts be ripped off a roof, damaging the roof in the process.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest
On the morning of 2 May, teenager Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio was driving to his landscaping job in North Palm Beach with his mother and two male friends when they were pulled over by the Florida highway patrol.
In one swift moment, a traffic stop turned into a violent arrest.
A highway patrol officer asked everyone in the van to identify themselves, then called for backup. Officers with US border patrol arrived on the scene.
Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old US citizen, appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men*, two of whom are undocumented.

Not to me, yes the app sucks, yes the use case of the app also sucks, yes devs are either super green or even mostly AI (these have been discussed extensively and I agree with all).
But can't commend public release of such sensitive data in such a place. You can still bury this app and the company without compromising people's sensitive data. Makes for less of a show and less opportunity to boast but yea.

Solely blaming the devs tells me you have no experience with Firebase security
That's exactly what hacking is.
'90s hacking movies may have given you a different idea of what cybersecurity looks like, but this is what the real world is like
Also, Google deserves a scolding here. Firebase's default configuration is absolutely atrocious. One of the few critical vulnerabilities I've seen where the system is working as intended. Dubbed the hospital gown vuknerability because they leave the backend wide open by default
Firebase's default configuration
I'm going to get on my grumpy old man soapbox. I understand making things idiot proof for end users. End users are idiots. But do we have to make things super safe for developers now too? Do we want to add a warning to rm so we don't accidentally remove the wrong directory?
Any developer who doesn't know to check permissions and accessibility on their database deserves to have their AI vibe coding bot taken away.

Oh...... yeah. Okay. I get it.
Russia is afraid of losing their paper-thin excuse for invading a sovereign nation, so they're already trying to astroturf the idea that any coming change in the government is just a sham.
Pretty good move really, though I guess that's to be expected from one of the worlds most dedicated, professional and experienced propaganda machines.
I'm sure you know the phrase "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", yet while there are almost 400 sources documenting the Uyghur Persecution on the dedicated Wikipedia page, the basis for your argument is a photo of a city?
If what you're trying to say is that there is a genocide in Gaza that is not adequately documented by our media I'm all with you, but since this thread is attracting some deniers, maybe it's important to remember that this doesn't erase a completely disconnected fact that is documented by every major human rights organization (here is, for example, the whole report by Amnesty International: xinjiang.amnesty.org/).
That there is or was a “Uyghur genocide” is the extraordinary claim, for which there is extraordinarily scant evidence, which is why the UN dropped it three years ago. Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.

#HRC51 | Draft resolution A/HRC/51/L.6 on holding a debate on the situation of human rights in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of #China, was REJECTED.
The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once those efforts failed, it concocted and promoted a genocide narrative.
- The Xinjiang Genocide Allegations Are Unjustified
- The Uyghur Human Rights Project is a product of the National Endowment for Democracy, which is the American government’s main regime change NGO.

- US-Funded Uyghur Activists Train as Soldiers of Empire
- A Reddit AMA Claiming To Be A Uyghur Quickly Exposes A CIA Asset Slandering China
- The blueprint of regime change operations How regime change happens in the 21st century with your consent
The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same map” imperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same countries supporting Israel’s genocide.
It’s never to late to develop real media literacy or to understand how the US incessantly prosecutes regime change operations globally.
UK ban on Palestine Action at odds with international law, says UN rights chief
The UK government’s ban on Palestine Action is at odds with international law, according to the UN human rights chief.
Volker Turk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said on Friday that the UK’s decision to proscribe the campaign group as a terrorist organisation was “disproportionate and unnecessary” and called for the designation to be rescinded.
He said: “UK domestic counter-terrorism legislation defines terrorist acts broadly to include ‘serious damage to property’. "But, according to international standards, terrorist acts should be confined to criminal acts intended to cause death or serious injury or to the taking of hostages, for purpose of intimidating a population or to compel a government to take a certain action or not.
“It misuses the gravity and impact of terrorism to expand it beyond those clear boundaries, to encompass further conduct that is already criminal under the law.”
