Report: Israel is manipulating AI platforms into blaming Palestinians, eg, for killing Hind Rajab.
Israel has created websites dedicated to manipulating AI platforms such as Claude & ChatGPT.
When users seek information, eg, on the murder of Hind, the manipulated chatbots produce “alternative explanations” (eg, that Hind could have been killed by Palestinian crossfire) alongside verified reporting.

I was today years old when i discovered that Chinese internauts have built a fandom around the relationship between EU Commissioner Stéphane #Séjourné and former french prime minister Gabriel #Attal. True European Soft power at work.

Sharing things from other sites so we're not missing out due to lack of reach or having to rely on bridges. Will provide source urls for posts The theme will generally be left leaning or things I think fit the criteria of anti-war/militarism, anti-racism, politics (mostly UK, leftwing), current affairs, calling out punching down. Not here to rage bait, or spread hate. Person posting as this account is some guy without any affiliation. It's just one person. Mostly a write-only account

Interview: Israel is in a race against time to “lock in its domination” across the Middle East.
Israel’s strategy of “permanent war” allows for only two types of countries in the region:
either dependent or “too failed & fragile to pose any challenge”.
Israel can try to block a US-Iran deal by pushing for a major military operation against Iran, or by constant attacks on Lebanon & Palestine

Report: UK's Starmer says people who chant 'globalise the intifada' must be prosecuted.
Yet, "there have been no recorded incidents in the UK of an antisemitic attack involving the phrase 'globalise the intifada'."
Anti-genocide protesters "have strongly denied that 'globalise the Intifada' is antisemitic or a call for violence, & British Jews have been prominent in pro-Palestine marches in the UK".

Two hostages taken by Israel from 1,000km away yesterday.
Now being kept in Israel as hostages after Israel's illegal piracy and kidnapping in international waters.
Of course most Western Media will not even mention this story.

Global Sumud Flotilla Demands Urgent EU Intervention After Two Civilians Abducted and Disappear — Global Sumud Flotilla (2026-05-01)
https://globalsumudflotilla.org/press/global-sumud-flotilla-demands-urgent-eu-intervention-after-two-civilians-abducted-and-disappear/
------
>> The #GlobalSumudFlotilla is calling for immediate intervention from Members of the European Parliament following the disappearance of two civilian participants on a humanitarian mission to Gaza after Israeli naval forces intercepted vessels engaged in a humanitarian mission...
>> Time is critical. This is about more than two individuals. It is about whether Europe will uphold the rule of law when it comes to Gaza, or allow it to be suspended in the face of Israeli actions.
>> Inaction risks enabling unlawful detention and further attacks on civilian efforts to break the siege on #Gaza. We are calling for immediate political and diplomatic intervention.

Report: Ex-Mossad chief, Tamir Pardo, likens occupier violence in the West Bank to the Holocaust
"My mother was a Holocaust survivor, & what I saw reminded me of the events that happened against Jews in the last century."
The settler violence "I saw today made me feel ashamed to be Jewish," Pardo said, during a tour of Palestinian villages.

Crazy how low #electricity prices are on the EU market today (deeply in the negative): this just shows how #renewables can drive down prices.
If we keep a bit of nuclear and get the hang of energy storage and transmission, we can have cheap, carbon-free electricity continent-wide.

Interview: "How Hawkish Democrats, from Schumer to Harris, Paved the Way for War with Iran"
"The climate that the Democrats have helped lay in these 20 years of hawkish statements & resolutions... really made Trump’s job easier & has enabled him, thus far, to get away with it."
Dem opposition has been "largely on procedural grounds without making a forceful moral case against war".

Israeli soldiers have been looting civilian property on a large scale from homes and businesses in southern Lebanon with the knowledge of their commanders, Haaretz reported on Thursday.
As Israeli troops leave Lebanon, they openly load stolen goods onto their vehicles without attempting to conceal them.

Good Morning(ish), all,
With the deluge of Bad US News, I thought I'd post some Good News; I searched my playlist for the report on how the nerves of the clitoris have been mapped for the first time (30 years after mapping the penile nerves).
But I couldn't find it...
So here instead: some Good #EU News on unfreezing a €90B loan to Ukraine after the electoral defeat of Viktor Orbán (and thus Vlad Putin & Don Trumpeone).
