Since October 2023, Gaza has been a training ground for AI-enabled drone war technology.

The development of such technologies raises a question: who are the scientists enabling war crimes through their research?

🚨BREAKING🚨 We just released an 83-page report 'MIT Science for Genocide' on how the Israeli military sponsors war research on campus. ZERO degrees of separation to génocidaires.

This is immoral, illegal, and unpopular. MIT ARMS EMBARGO NOW!

Graphic: Israel announced the expansion of what it calls the “humanitarian zone.” An hour later, it carried out a massacre, killing dozens of civilians in the heart of that zone.

[International Union of Scientists (IUS) @iuscientist]

It's a wonder anyone bothers to read these statements since they're completely divorced from reality. Israel is the *cause* of the "dire humanitarian situation" in Gaza and is taking steps daily to *worsen* that situation. And Blinken is well aware of this.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

The US State Department has released the readout of a meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, in which they "reviewed steps that Israel has taken to improve the dire humanitarian situation inside Gaza"

Why is Zionism Inherently Islamophobic? • Answered by Professor David Miller (@Tracking_Power), Co-Director of Spinwatch

To mark #IslamophobiaAwarenessMonth, it is crucial to make clear how Zionism necessitates Islamophobia and the role this played during the ‘War on Terror’.

Today (12.11.2024) marked an incredibly difficult day in North Gaza, with relentless bombardment and forced expulsions occurring in Beit Hanoun since dawn. As thousands of people were forced out and made their way to West Gaza, we expect food, water, and basic supply demands to surge in the coming days.

Our team took immediate action to address some of these needs by:

1) Providing cash aid to 8 displaced families in urgent need.
2) Distributing 150 trays of rice and chickpeas (each weighing 1 kilo) to families in Al-Zaytoun. (video and picture)
3) Delivering 6,000 liters of fresh water to the East Al-Tufah area. (video)
Distributing 120 packages of bread in the area west of Al-Shati' Refugee Camp. (picture)

As the genocide of Palestine expands to the West Bank, surveillance is playing a critical role in the Zionist state's killings. @DocMattMoudi details the pervasive surveillance state.

On surveillance in Palestine and beyond. "There is no research to support that facial recognition actually lowers crime, and yet it continues to be used under the auspices of generating greater safety." - @DocMattMoudi

From our webinar in June, activist Mick Napier says about Gaza: "The colonial powers in Algeria or Aden or Vietnam killed huge numbers of people. But the killing machine doesn't always win the struggle. And the side that's much weaker militarily often wins."
