Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

"Israel has committed war crimes & the crimes against humanity of extermination, persecution, torture, rape & other forms of sexual violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, intentionally targeting Palestinian civilians."

While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected.
Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions.
Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent.
But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models?
We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem.

She didn’t start with a degree or confidence.
She started by writing in public.
Every major job came from people finding her posts.
Now she’s building Grok Bot and still on the React Compiler core team.
She is truly an inspiration. ✨✨

Benjamin Moser, author of Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, told Rashid Khalidi that his 80-year-old mother, who had all but called him a Hamas member, apologized after reading his book: “I’m ashamed I ever said I was a Zionist.”
His book traces Jewish opposition to Zionism over the past century and challenges their exclusion in discussions over Palestine. “No, you don’t get to set the rules anymore. We’re setting the rules now,” Moser said.
Khalidi added that he had never seen so many people change their views so rapidly, noting that major publishers are now embracing books on Palestine that would have been virtually unpublishable just three or four years ago.

We had a Linux server that showed two successful SSH logins from an external IP overnight.
The strange part was that there were no failed password attempts before them.
The attacker got in cleanly.
So I checked the SSH logs properly.
Both sessions said:
Accepted publickey
That meant we were not dealing with a guessed password.
I pulled the fingerprint from the logs and compared it with the keys in:
/home/deploy/.ssh/authorized_keys
There was only one key there.
And it matched.
The comment on the key was:
deploy@old-build
That name sounded familiar, so we checked our records.
The build server it belonged to had been retired months ago.
But nobody had removed its SSH key from this production server.
I checked the timestamp on authorized_keys.
The key had been sitting there since November 2025.
So this was not some new persistence the attacker had just created.
It was an old trust relationship we had forgotten about.
That was actually worse in a different way.
I checked the login history and confirmed both sessions came from the same external IP.
Then I looked for files touched during those sessions.
A backup copy of the application’s .env file had been created under /opt/api/.
That immediately raised another concern because environment files often contain things like database credentials, API keys and application secrets.
At that point we disabled the deployment account, removed the stale key, rotated the application secrets and started checking every other server that might still trust the same old build key.
The lesson from this one was simple.
Not every compromise starts with malware.
Sometimes the attacker just finds a credential or key that your own environment forgot existed.
Passwords expire.
Employees leave.
Servers get retired.
But SSH keys can quietly sit in authorized_keys for years if nobody is actually reviewing them.
That is why key rotation and access reviews matter.
The attacker did not need to break SSH.
We had already left the door open.

The exploits of the last few days are a good reminder of why we use SaaS. Our company pays for ~20 SaaS services. If we self-hosted them, we’d now be responsible for all of the security patches this week. Instead, our small monthly bill pays for their teams to handle everything.

I can't get over what a massive admission this is. If we lived in a world where politicians and media cared about facts, THIS would be the headline story. "ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDES INCREASING, ZERO INCREASE IN ANTISEMITISM."
The pro-Palestine movement has been so successful in separating opposition to Israeli atrocities from hatred toward Jews that there has been zero increase in public hatred toward Jews throughout three years of genocide. That's an incredibly impressive achievement in activism and education regarding a mass atrocity we're always told is a super duper complicated issue that's almost impossible to understand.
This one fact, by itself, completely destroys just about every argument the hasbarists have ever made about the pro-Palestine movement. People who've been taking a stand against the Gaza holocaust have been absolutely impeccable with their messaging, taking great care to help the public understand the distinction between the religion of Judaism and the apartheid state of Israel.
If mainstream pundits and politicians actually cared about truth and morality, they would be falling all over themselves to apologize and correct the record on the narrative they've been pushing that the pro-Palestine movement is responsible for a surging epidemic of antisemitism in our society. They would be telling everyone that it turns out there is in fact no epidemic of antisemitism, and the pro-Palestine movement has conducted itself with saintly meticulousness in ensuring that hatred toward the Jewish faith gains no purchase within their ranks or their message.
But mainstream pundits and politicians do not care about truth or morality. They care about promoting the interests of a genocidal apartheid state, no matter how many lies they need to tell in order to do so.
This is why instead of seeing headlines about the Bell review's finding that there has been zero increase of antisemitism among British people, we've been seeing headlines falsely claiming that British schoolchildren are evil antisemitic Nazis who must be brought to heel.
People who support Israel are disgusting, manipulative liars, and the western political/media class are the very worst among them.

Perhaps the most stark and revealing (accidental?) admission in the David Bell 'antisemitism in UK schools report. Antisemitic attitudes aren't increasing, only anti-Israel ones are. That's what most of this is about.

You’d never know by this post that the five Israelis are armed IDF soldiers. But they made sure to tell you the Palestinians were definitely the bad guys. Tried, convicted, and sentenced in one headline.
