The title: U.S. [claims it] wants Israeli written assurances on using U.S. weapons in Gaza by mid-March
The last sentence: The Israeli Defense Ministry declined to comment.
Does this sums it up or is it just my impression??

Fascists are in favor of zionism, not Palestine. Meloni is no exception.
If it was just the star of David, it’s antisemitism.
If it was the star of David within the flag of Israel, it’s antizionism.
Focusing on assumptions and assumptions are not very convincing.
This video focuses on lies, not assumptions.
Also, when talking about sexual misconduct/abuse and related matters the way we think of justice can be very tricky and I think we need to reconsider the notion of
concrete evidence
For example, it’s not a given that a 24-year-old can prove that 10 years back they were sexually abused or raped by Epstein. Or anyone actually.
What is problematic about his open letter?
I guess the answer to that depends on how one sees proprietary software. I like the free and open source community and this is why I find this letter problematic, to say the least.
In the first 10 minutes or so of the Revolution OS documentary -which is very old btw- one can get a general overview of this time period.
I guess the following video by Coffeezilla will provide enough answers on the matter:
Bill Gates Won’t Stop Lying About Epstein Connections [13:34]
I have not read the book, I’ve read enough about Gates by now to have my own thoughts on how dogdy he is. What is this article in defense of Bill Gates? The author met Gates a few times and he feels confident to claim that
That man was very far from the sexist, arrogant, miserable predator that Schwab portrays.
And what is this conclusion?
The world needs their money; maybe managed by party bureaucracies, that much is not clear. Bill Gates’ money, that is, but not Bill Gates himself.
Really?
Anyways, here is another article that talks just about the tip of the iceberg of the “Bill Gates Sexism Problem”, let’s call it this way.
Long Before Divorce, Bill Gates Had Reputation for Questionable Behavior - The New York Times - Oct 2021
Melinda French Gates voiced concerns about her husband’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and a harassment claim against his money manager. He also had an affair with an employee.
Maybe the first problematic thing I can think of about Gates dates back to 1976. It is called:
The report of the Israeli watchdog NGO Peace Now they talk about in the article can be found here:
A Good Year for Settlements; A Bad Year for Israel: Summary of Settlement Activity in 2023 -15.2.24
Yeah no wonder. I’m one of those that read half of it, just because some titles are misleading. Well it’s clearly not one of those.
If those scientists tried stuff on themselves, I wouldn’t object.
Doing these stuff to other creatures and also trying to justify them… NO. JUST NO.
My point was that people who have family and friends in Israel demand a ceasefire, and want us to Tell Congress: Demand Biden reinstate UNRWA funding, and have practical suggestions on how to act now ect
So having Chicago -amongst other cities- stand with them for peace, I think it’s great move.
Thank you so much for informing me of this mess. Fixed.
Like Jewish Voice for Peace do? Ask for a ceasefire I mean. Or as they say:
URGENT: Demand a ceasefire now.
Millions of lives depend on it.
Also, hope you don’t mind when they say:
WE HAVE A PLAN TO END U.S. SUPPORT
FOR ISRAEL’S OPPRESSION OF PALESTINIANSJewish Voice for Peace is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world.
We’re organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with Palestinian freedom struggle.
If you’ve been looking for a political home for Jews on the left in this perilous moment; if you’ve been wanting a Jewish community with justice at the center; if you’ve been looking to turn your rage and grief into meaningful, strategic action:
Join us. You belong here.
Personally, I don’t care about these statistics. The point I was trying to make was that under capitalism any industry has the goal to make huge amounts of profit. Coal, nuclear you name it. Nothing is about sustainability, unless it is related to greenwashing. So I don’t trust their approach, including the safety of these places. Also the need for more power is for industry expansion, not to heat our homes for instance.
[By the way, I am not a communist. Mondragon is a model of non-capitalistic industrial development that has been successfully expanding since the 1950’s. By no means am I saying their approach is perfect, nor that perfection is the goal. Their example is important tho cause we can learn from them. For the Cleveland Model, they used Modragon’s input. They refers to Gar Alperorovitz amongst others]
There’s a reason a two state solution has only ever worked on paper.
Actually there are several. For me seeing an article like that from the side of the settler-colonials gives me hope. The apartheid in South Africa wouldn’t have been abolished without the consent of the the colonizers.
From another article Hamas Gives ‘Initial Positive Confirmation’ On Truce Plan: Qatar - Barron’s they say:
“That proposal has been approved by the Israeli side and now we have an initial positive confirmation from the Hamas’ side,” Majed al-Ansari told an audience at a Washington-based graduate school.
A source close to Hamas said, however, that there was still no consensus on the proposal.
“There is no agreement on the framework of the agreement yet… and the Qatari statement is rushed and not true,” the source told AFP in Gaza.
If that’s your take on my comment(s), I would suggest you take a 2nd look at them.
Wasn’t it 12 like a day or two ago?
That’s my understanding.
In an ap article of the 29th they say:
DETAILED ALLEGATIONS AGAINST UNRWA WORKERS
The Israeli document, which has been shared with U.S. officials and was obtained by The Associated Press, lists 12 people, their alleged roles in the attack, job descriptions and photos. The findings detailed in the document could not be independently confirmed.
The document said intelligence gathered showed that at least 190 UNRWA workers were Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives, without providing evidence.
It said of the 12 workers, nine were teachers and one a social worker. Seven of the employees were accused of crossing into Israel on Oct. 7. Of those, one was accused of taking part in a kidnapping, another of helping to take away a dead soldier and three others of participating in the attacks. (…)
The numbers mentioned in the posted article I first saw them on a wsg piece co-written by Carrie Keller-Lynn, a former political and legal correspondent for The Times of Israel which has some ties with the IDF, to be more precise the IDF spokesperson unit. (Relevant link from twitter).
[edit: I tried looking for her linkedin profile for more details, which appears in the results as: Carrie Keller-Lynn - The Wall Street Journal | LinkedIn but I get Profile Not Found - An exact match for caroline-keller-lynn could not be found. for now at least.
