āNo one was talking about what we, as a society, are doing in Gaza. I couldnāt be part of that society, and I donāt want my children to grow up in it.ā 972mag.com/israeli-emigratioā¦

Trump wil Groenland om zān techvrienden aan een eigen land te helpen:
āSilicon Valley tech investors had begun āpromoting the frozen island as a site for a so-called freedom city, a libertarian utopia with minimal corporate regulation.āā

Interesting read:
The Equator launch issue is up - and here is a link to my essay: 'Beyond the Apocalypse' (with some beautiful photographs by the great Dayanita Singh).

Good point. I wonder though how many have tried (eg Democracy Now, Al Jazeera) and if Ha mas is also limiting who they want to talk to. Just wondering.
Jeremy Scahill told Democracy Now it is āutter malpracticeā for Western media to avoid interviewing Hamas or Islamic Jihad leaders, saying that this refusal leaves Israeli and U.S. allegations unchallenged, turning Palestinians into voiceless, dehumanized caricatures. Speaking directly with resistance leaders, journalists and Trump envoys found academics, doctors, and scholars, and men whose families have been torn apart by war ā not the wealthy, detached exiles portrayed in Western coverage.
Scahill cited Khalil al-Hayya, who lost multiple sons resisting the Israeli occupation, including one killed in Israelās bombing in Qatar targeting the Palestinian negotiating delegation ā contrasting his loss with Netanyahuās son ārunning around Miami like a spoiled frat boy.ā

Fascinating drop in traffic of the traditional media. I wonder how much this has to do with their clearly biased Gaza coverage destroying trust in traditional media, and the new space this has created for other sources of news

Very excited about the forthcoming launch of EQUATOR, a completely new multi-media platform that will foreground alternative perspectives on the new world that is struggling to take shape amidst the ruins of the old one. Proud that I have a long-form piece in the first issue - it's on apocalyptic imaginaries and their real-world consequences. At a time when the Net is being siloed by billionaires it is important to join and support.

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gazaās most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

āEsther is more than a journalist. She is a lifeline for those whose cries would otherwise vanish in the dark. And no matter the risk, she will keep writing, keep reporting, because for her, silence is never an option.ā #Myanmar

Erin Cookās newsletter is a great read for foreigners to understand whatās happening in Indonesia š®š© at the moment. @dmkmtoday

The anger from the protests in Indonesia is partly because of the unfair remuneration of parliament members vs workers, but even more so because of the sheer arrogance and even mocking of the people by politicians. It's the disrespect that angers the most.
Do you pay a price for speaking out about Gaza, particularly as a journalist in legacy media?
Yes.
- you lose work opportunities
- you feel social isolation
- future or regular employers look at you differently
The upside is: nobody who has spoken out regrets doing so.

Yep. This is the truth. And one of the most galling things is, that when all is said and done, they will hide behind the excuse of "impartiality".
