Met het besluit om geen beroep in te stellen tegen het nieuwe Luchthavenverkeerbesluit (LVB) heeft de gemeente Amsterdam een teleurstellende politieke keuze gemaakt. Wethouder Sofyan Mbarki (PRO) ziet er geen heil in. via.schipholwatch.nl/f7hgqz

🚨🚨Apple basically told him that Israel has either just hacked his devices or is trying to.
He made the brilliant documentary on the Pager attack in Lebanon.
They literally destroyed his home last week.
Now this.
Yesterday, I received a security notification from Apple warning me that my iPhone had been targeted by a sophisticated mercenary spyware attack, involving technology of the kind developed by companies such as NSO Group, the Israeli firm behind the notorious Pegasus spyware.
Perhaps the most alarming aspect of Apple’s warning was its confirmation that such attacks target specific individuals “because of who you are or what you do.”
This is not the first time I have been targeted by spyware. I was previously targeted with Pegasus in both 2017 and 2021.
I do not yet know who is behind this latest attack, or whether it is connected to my investigative documentary, The Trap, which I directed and co-produced. The film, available on Al Jazeera 360, exposed the details of the September 2024 pager explosions in Lebanon.
What is certain, however, is that the targeting of journalists with sophisticated spyware poses a grave threat to press freedom, the confidentiality of journalistic sources, and the very foundations of independent investigative journalism.

Kedar: I wish you good luck in a country which becomes Islamic day after day. And when you look for asylum, Israel will be your asylum.
Moser: I'm not afraid of Muslims... We see who bombed Iran. We see who bombed Lebanon... We see what happened to Gaza.

Piers Morgan: What was it you were smirking about?
Moser: I was actually laughing... A recently founded settler colony, Israel, which was founded in living memory... ranting at an Iranian, saying that his country is fake, Iran, one of the most ancient countries in the world.

Ja. Maar de vraag is of de minister omwonenden met ‘zijn’ nieuwe luchthavenverkeer(s)besluit teveel hinder aandoet, gezien de uitspraak van de rechtbank van Den Haag van maart 2024.

Israel allows 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (who did not become refugees in 1948) to vote and run for office while it denies that right to 6+ million it has kept under a brutal illegal occupation for nearly 60 years.
That is not democracy. It is Apartheid.
Israel’s Arab citizens, men and women, are turning out in historic numbers to vote. They can vote, run for office, and serve in the Knesset, rights denied to many Arabs and women across much of the Middle East.
Our critical ally in the fight against terror, Israel, is the only democracy in the region, and today shows it.
Schandalig. Omwonenden hebben geen grondrechten. Unreal.
Oei, wat mist de Amsterdamse raad hier weer de boot.

Full on crisis underway in Israel as the military is pushing back on a Netanyahu order re Iran
אני מגבה באופן מוחלט את הרמטכ״ל על עמידתו על חובתו המקצועית. אסור לאפשר שום מהלך צבאי שאין מאחוריו צורך ביטחוני ברור, תכלית אסטרטגית ותוכנית פעולה אחראית.
כשאזרחי ישראל ילכו אל הקלפי ביום שלישי הקרוב עליהם לזכור זאת: נתניהו מהווה איום ביטחוני על ישראל. הוא אינו מהסס להקריב את חיי ילדינו לשם הישרדותו ערב בחירות - את זה צה״ל מנסה לבלום.
ביטחון ישראל נתון בידיו של דרג מדיני מושחת, אנשים בלתי כשירים ומטורפים שלא מהססים להקריב את ביטחון ישראל כדי לשמור על הכיסא.
אנחנו ננצח. ואנחנו נחליף אותם ונחזיר את ישראל לדרך הביטחון והאחריות.

1/ 🇷🇸🇷🇺 Vučić just lost Serbia.
russia’s most useful Balkan ally called a snap election to cling to power. Students who spent 2 yrs in the streets crushed him.
Moscow spent a decade buying influence with cheap gas & political cover.
Europe didn't oust him. Serbians did.

#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.

Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was hospitalized after settlers brutally beat and robbed her while she covered the West Bank olive harvest. The attack drew condemnation from the U.S. Embassy, press freedom groups and Israel's journalists' union. Levine described a growing climate of fear among Palestinian harvesters, while rights groups warned that repeated attacks on journalists continue amid a lack of accountability. | Liza Rozovsky, Matan Golan, and Etan Nechin

"Allegedly assaulted."
It's literally on video.
The Prime Minister’s Office:
The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation.
Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable.
But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual.
The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence.
We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.
The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.
