“Ethnic cleansing is ‘voluntary migration’ and dead children are ‘collateral damage’”
Former Israeli soldier Eliraz Dvir described the lies Israel employs as it kills Palestinians in a video posted by Breaking the Silence, an Israeli organisation of former soldiers documenting the country's military conduct in the occupied Palestinian territories, on May 13. Dvir also accused Israel of justifying the destruction of Gaza
Dozens of US troops conscientiously objected due to the Gaza genocide, and record numbers are now moving to object because they don't trust Trump and Israel, and are uncomfortable with serving alongside Israeli forces, says @MikePrysner, head of the Center on Conscience and War.

This is how We the People make our voices heard. 🇺🇸
- One bombed hospital might be a horrible mistake
- Two bombed hospitals are undeniably crimes against humanity
- More than a hundred bombed hospitals is the work of the most effective and barbaric terrorist organization the world has ever seen.
Come be part of Cedarcrypt, our historic new initiative to grow cryptography research, development and representation in the Levant region!
For too long, the global cryptography community has concentrated its major events in a handful of locations, leaving entire regions underrepresented in the conversations that shape our digital future. Cedarcrypt is here to change that.
This July 13-16, 2026, we're bringing together researchers, practitioners, and students at the American University of Beirut - Mediterraneo campus in Paphos, Cyprus, for four days of intensive learning, knowledge sharing, and community building. From secure messaging protocols to post-quantum cryptography, from zero-knowledge proofs to formal verification, Cedarcrypt aims to cover the full spectrum of applied cryptography.
Cedarcrypt is about planting a flag and telling the world that real cryptography work can and does emerge from our region. Cedarcrypt aims to create a space where the next generation of cryptographers from the Levant and beyond can learn from established experts, present their own research, and forge connections that will shape their careers.
We need you to make this happen. We're seeking workshop leaders to teach hands-on skills, lecturers to share foundational and cutting-edge knowledge, and researchers to present their latest work. Whether you're a seasoned professor or an early-career researcher with fresh ideas, there's a place for you at Cedarcrypt.
This is the first edition of what we intend to become an annual tradition. Come be part of our history! Help us build something that will inspire and empower cryptographers for years to come.
Our call for proposals is open: submit your workshop or talk, or simply learn more about Cedarcrypt at https://t.co/truR1XnSDy!
Tor is upgrading its onion encryption 🔐 to Counter Galois Onion (CGO) to enhance security without compromising performance. CGO was designed by Jean Paul Degabriele (TII), Alessandro Meloni (UiB), Martijn Stam (UiB), and Jean-Pierre Münch (TUD).

I find it quite sneaky that many web conferencing applications make big marketing claims of E2E encryption but then consider MITM attacks to be out of scope in their bug-bounty programmes.
