The Killing of Hind Rajab ( forensic-architecture.org )

On 29 January 2024, a six-year-old Palestinian girl in Gaza City, Hind Rajab, pleaded over the phone for emergency workers to rescue her from a bullet-ridden car. Her body was found two weeks later, alongside the bodies of six of her family members. FA was asked by Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines to investigate the circumstances of...

"Earshot found that with the minimum registered interval of 24 milliseconds, this tank would have to have been positioned just 13 metres away from the car. With the maximum interval of 40 milliseconds, the tank would have still been only 23 metres away from the car. This analysis suggests that the tank had to be positioned within close range (13–23 metres) of the car when it fired the shots that killed Layan. At such proximity, it is not plausible that the shooter could not have seen that the car was occupied by civilians, including children.

Earshot’s audio ballistic analysis supports the final words of Layan Hamada: the gunfire came from a tank that was next to them."

"Comparing the exit hole and varying levels of destruction helps reconstruct the cone of impact from the explosion, and in turn, reveals the direction from which the ambulance was shot (Figure 13). This direction is consistent with the location of Israeli tanks visible in satellite imagery from between 29 January and 8 February.

Our assessment of the position of the tanks at the time of the attack, together with the direction of the shot, suggests that the ambulance was likely hit by ammunition from an Israeli tank."

A heat wave is bringing searing temperatures to New York and the I-95 corridor. Washington DC has hit 100 degrees ( www.cnn.com )

A dangerous heat wave is bringing sweltering temperatures to much of the US this weekend, including over parts of the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic. Meanwhile, a tropical system could develop this weekend through the southwest Gulf of Mexico.

It's happening across the midwest as well. It's supposed to hit 102 on Monday in Nebraska.

The issue will be if these temps become standard and consistent over a wider time period. For one, that could adversely affect crop growth and development.

The last bird flu that hit humans, if I remember, had a 30% mortality rate. So this should be fun.

The issue is that we already know he's full in on Israel. Not as a political thing, but because he truly does see Israelis as superior to Palestinians. He fully believes that Israel is allowed to do whatever it wants without repercussion.

And it doesn't seem to be a religious thing either on his part. It's some bizarre brainwashing from back in the day, as the article I linked discusses.

In a single hour, Israeli snipers killed seven bystanders at the Jenin refugee camp ( www.haaretz.com )

Jenin has endured plenty of rough days lately, but May 21 outdid them all. In the course of one hour in the morning, snipers killed seven of the city's residents, all of them innocent passersby, even though the streets were quiet and the soldiers had no cause to open fire....

U.N. official says he saw Israeli troops kill 2 Palestinians fishing off Gaza coast ( www.cbsnews.com )

Two men fishing in the waters off the coast of the Gaza Strip were killed Wednesday by Israeli troops firing at them with automatic weapons, James Elder, the global spokesperson for the United Nations' children's agency UNICEF, told CBS News....

Elder said he and his team were prevented from delivering their aid shipment and forced to turn back that day.

"We spent about eight or nine hours at military checkpoints. In the end, our truck, despite all the approvals, was denied access and returned ... Yes, we will try again. Obviously, we'll try again. But this is consistent with the denials that we and many other agencies have experienced," Elder said.

Israel has previously said that it allows hundreds of trucks carrying aid to enter Gaza daily, and the Israeli government has blamed the U.N. for failing to distribute it.

Sounds like we can't trust the IDF's numbers on aid trucks being let in if they're counting ones they initially let in and then forced to leave at a later checkpoint.

Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal ( truthout.org )

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

Seems like it. They just started bombing another designated safe zone, Al-Mawasi, a couple of hours ago.

Silverseren ,

And quite possibly killed three more hostages in the action. Hamas is claiming it and the IDF is denying it. But considering that the four hostages saved were being held in the same place as one of the higher ups, if the IDF has just been bombing every other family home of Hamas members (remember the Where's Daddy AI system?), then it seems quite likely they could kill hostages in the process.

Oh no, is France going to go full fascist now too?

Not as useful now that so many of us who left Reddit deleted all of our comments on there. Broke a lot of those question and answer threads.

Silverseren OP ,

The AI is named Lavender, right? I suppose they wouldn't have been using the Where's Daddy AI in this instance.

I remember when Trump tried to claim credit for pharmacies putting price caps on a variety of medicines by a bill he passed, when that bill changed nothing because it was already a policy the pharmacies had enacted years prior.

Is Craigslist Dying?

I went to Craigslist in my local area for the first time in awhile. I used to like “best of” Craigslist because some of them were great, there still are some, but its just not the same. A community I used to visit had about half the number of posts as I remember, and of jobs and things for sale, I would say roughly half the...

Silverseren ,

Craigslist has been spam for quite a while at this point. Even for me in my thirties, I don't know anyone who has used it legitimately for at least a decade.

Silverseren ,

I wonder how the four hostages feel that their rescue involved the murdering of dozens of women and children on the same day.

I would hope they have the empathy to feel guilty about that, but considering what the general Israeli poster (and Israeli population member, based on polls) is like, I doubt they view Palestinians as human.
