Justo el país que tiene una empresa Estatal de telecomunicaciones como proveedor de Internet que raro a mi me dijeron que debería haber sido el último y no el primero
This is really remarkable: the Philippines is undergoing a huge grassroots-led green revolution, with millions of ordinary Filipinos installing Chinese solar panels on their rooftops.
So much so that the Philippines just became, so far in 2026, China's #2 solar export market on Earth 👇
A lot of it is driven by the current energy crisis and the fact the Philippines now has the most expensive residential electricity in Southeast Asia.
This makes the economics of solar panels a complete no-brainer: as per the Ember report (https://t.co/U0UBrnyAhL) a Chinese solar panel - given cost of electricity in the Philippines - now has a payback period of only 3.1 years for households and 2.3 years for businesses.
Given that the average lifespan of a solar panel is roughly 30 years (panels from the big Chinese makers - Longi, JA Solar, Trina - now come with 30-year performance warranties as standard), it means that when you install one on your rooftop you essentially get free electricity for about a quarter of a century!
We're used to thinking of green energy as something top-down, the government imposing on reluctant citizens, but increasingly - in large parts of the world - it's becoming the exact opposite: a bottom-up movement of ordinary people who simply want cheaper energy.
I find myself in a quandry. I have come to fully believe that Israeli society has crossed a point of no return. I don't know the extent to which Israel is capable of destabilizing the world. I know that as a society, we are morally bankrupt. No solution is to be found in optimistic dreams about coexistence. "Peace" is meaningless im genocide. Israeli outrage at Israel's genocide is a moot point. There is nothing Israelis can "say" that makes it right. Israel does not deserve the same place at the table as the Palestinians. Israel does not deserve a place at any table.
On the other hand, I have no other place. I am Israeli. I do not think Israel can be "disbanded". Israel is here. It is ceaselessly committing crimes against humanity as well as against human decency (not just within a legal framework, that is), debasing its neighbors, its supporters and itself. But it cannot simply be revoked. Israel must suffer the consequences of its own actions. It must be stopped and humbled. In its current supremacist form, it has no legitimacy, but I would not wish for it to disappear. More wrongs do not make a right. Right makes right. I find I must speak out in defense of this right and this good.
But what relevance do my words have? What is the point of being serially outraged? I don't feel myself entitled to be heard, certainly not in serial fashion. The genocide is being carried out in my name. What weight do my words of anger and condemnation carry? My presence confers neither comfort nor effect on the fight against genocide and ethnic cleansing. I must speak, but to what purpose? It certainly isn't redemption. There is no redemption for my society. I am not claiming its potential virtue. Human beings are never devoid of virtue, but that does not really matter now. Israel has wronged so much, taken and despoiled and killed, has paid it forward even in the Palestinian and Lebanese gene pools.
One voice should be heard right now, and that is the voice of Israel's victims. There is not a single attack on Israel that is not grounded in an Israeli attempt to uproot and destroy ar this moment. The only other voice permissible belongs to international tribunals, leaderships and institutions (with the hope that they choose to use this voice).
When I write or speak I do so from the most particular (selfish, perhaps) aspects of my existence. I feel as though I have no other choice. But I have no illusions about changing Israeli minds or even about my own virtue. My heart breaks daily still over the myriad ways in which overt genocide shapes my present and my future. This heartbreak deserves no pity or consideration. My words are gray and deflated, sad as lonely, little wrinkled balloons. That is as it should be.
I have no wish to be a strategic analyst. There are many wiser and more capable than I am. I am outraged all the time, angry and sad and shaken as a basic stance towards life. This isn't an equal and opposite reaction to actions taken by Israel. This quagmire is my life as an Israeli Jew. The desperate wish I do have is to maintain my humanity in the most literal sense, a framework that will allow me to delay my disintegration as a person. Is that enough?
"cese al fuego" pero los soldados israelies siguen matando Palestinos, están deseosos de matar a cualquier civil que cruce o se acerque a las líneas amarillas invisibles que ellos definen, niños incluidos porsupuesto. Esto lo dicen los propios soldados israelies.
Hasan Piker: “Every dollar spent on a bomb that Israel drops on a school is a dollar stolen from you because that’s a dollar that could’ve been used to build a school in your neighborhood. That’s your productive output used for the death machine to kill other people’s kids”
Israel’s land-grab in Lebanon. 81 towns demolished & now evacuation of major cities: Tyre & Nabatieh. 3,200 Lebanese dead, over 1,000,000 displaced.
Why is the world silent? Don’t Lebanese lives matter? Why can Israel act w/impunity?

Un barrio de Vallecas es antifascista y ha convertido el fútbol en motivo de alegría y de lucha El Rayo disputó la final de la UEFA pero que mantiene sus ideales y su amor por ser barrio obrero y no doblegarse ni ante la derrota ni ante el fascismo.

Decir "Emigración voluntaria" cuando destruirste todas las casas y la infraestructura, no dejás entrar comida y matas a cada paramédico que se aproxima a una víctima de tus bombardeos es como decir que Dachau era simplemente un "campo de trabajo"
Los “servicios de información y asistencia” de las administraciones tributarias modernas son parte de los servicios que el Estado de bienestar presta a los ciudadanos. Muchas veces el costo de cumplimiento y las infracciones por no cumplir, son más costosas que el impuesto.
Hasan Piker: “If you think there’s a significant amount of antisemitism on the Democratic party side as opposed to the Republicans, you’re a delusional person. Antisemitism is morally repugnant, it’s completely unacceptable and unfortunately it happens. We have to analyze why antisemitism grows in this country. Antisemitism grows in this country historically during unprecedented levels of violence that Israel commits against the Palestinians, the Lebanese population, against Arabs as a whole. Israel does this unlimited violence with unlimited tax dollars from the USA and it also claims it’s doing this kind of violence for Judaism. This false conflation is a very dangerous one”
