Why did 30 #Met officers kick the door down at a teenage tea and biscuits meeting in a Quaker house?
Six young women gathered in central #London to discuss the #ClimateCrisis and the war in #Gaza, the setting could not have been more appropriate. The building in which they sat was a #Quaker meeting house, the home of a movement whose centuries-long history is rooted in protest and a commitment to social justice. On the table were cups of jasmine tea, ginger biscuits and a selection of vegan cheese straws.
Six weeks on, the operation has drawn criticism from religious groups, politicians and activists. The need for such a severe course of action, meted out in a place of #worship, remains a concern, not least for those who were targeted.

L'immagine mostra la stazione di Sokal, in Ucraina, un edificio imponente con un design architettonico art déco. La facciata è caratterizzata da un grande arco centrale con una grande finestra a vetri, sopra il quale si trova la scritta "СОКАЛ" in lettere verdi.

L'immagine presenta un'icona stilizzata di un'edicola postale, rappresentata in bianco su uno sfondo blu. L'edicola è disegnata con linee sottili e geometriche, con un'apertura centrale che suggerisce un'apertura. Sopra l'edicola, c'è un simbolo di un pesce appeso a un moschettone, che simboleggia l'inganno o la trappola. Questo simbolo è spesso associato al concetto di phishing, un tipo di attacco informatico. L'icona è semplice e moderna, con un design minimalista che la rende facilmente riconoscibile.

Israël-Palestine : « Le plus révoltant, c’est la différence de traitement »
acrimed.org/Israel-Palestine-L…
Les bombes d’une tonne que larguent les avions #israéliens sont destinés à détruire des bunkers. À #Gaza, elles sont lancées contre des habitations et des tentes, leurs éclats blessent et tuent à plus d’un kilomètre à la ronde, leur souffle projette les corps, elles sont terrifiantes, personne ne peut s’en protéger.
Gaza est transformé en charnier, des cadavres sont livrés aux chiens, plus de quinze mille enfants ont été tués, soit plus que dans toutes les guerres de ces dernières années prises dans leur ensemble, selon l’#Unicef.

in reply to Molly White • • •I love this but I don't think that last line is true
For people who lack empathy, books and movies teach them how to *act* as though they care about others. By increasing cognitive empathy in someone who lacks affective empathy, you're only giving them more tools with which to manipulate people. It's the same reason abused spouses are counseled against couples therapy
The Nerd Reich are a perfect example of this. They read the books but took away all the wrong lessons
Systemic Failure
in reply to Molly White • • •Empathy would be the *next* step (allowing you to take *their* place and go beyond your own grasp of wants and needs, allowing/expanding to *theirs*).
