You’re welcome!

I don’t really understand the bénef of a central bank digital currency.

It benefits the 1% of the population by controlling all the rest of us. It’s a two-tier system (retail CBDCs and wholesale CBDCs) and this is something that is rarely mentioned in mainstream articles.

Retail CBDCs will be linked to your digital ID and your digital wallet, and even tho the implementation may differ from country to country (i.e. Sweden’s e-krona vs China’s digital Yuan), the thing that will be common is that a centralised entity, will have total control of your digital wallet, including your ID & money.

When the conversation is about wholesale CBDCs, the talk is about how to make things easier for bank interoperability as well as how to facilitate the super-rich.

Here is another report from Forensic Architecture, from late February:

An Assessment of Visual Material Presented by the Israeli Legal Team at the International Court of Justice (ICJ)

Findings

We found eight instances where the Israeli legal team misrepresented the visual evidence they cited, through a combination of incorrect annotations and labelling, and misleading verbal descriptions. These instances are presented and explained in this report.

Our study also reveals that the Israeli legal team presented single instances of alleged Palestinian military use of civilian infrastructure as blanket justifications for the systematic and widespread attacks on civilians, shelters, schools, and hospitals.

The title: U.S. [claims it] wants Israeli written assurances on using U.S. weapons in Gaza by mid-March
The last sentence: The Israeli Defense Ministry declined to comment.

Does this sums it up or is it just my impression??

Fascists are in favor of zionism, not Palestine. Meloni is no exception.

The report of the Israeli watchdog NGO Peace Now they talk about in the article can be found here:
A Good Year for Settlements; A Bad Year for Israel: Summary of Settlement Activity in 2023 -15.2.24

Thank you so much for informing me of this mess. Fixed.

There’s a reason a two state solution has only ever worked on paper.

Actually there are several. For me seeing an article like that from the side of the settler-colonials gives me hope. The apartheid in South Africa wouldn’t have been abolished without the consent of the the colonizers.

From another article Hamas Gives ‘Initial Positive Confirmation’ On Truce Plan: Qatar - Barron’s they say:

“That proposal has been approved by the Israeli side and now we have an initial positive confirmation from the Hamas’ side,” Majed al-Ansari told an audience at a Washington-based graduate school.

A source close to Hamas said, however, that there was still no consensus on the proposal.

“There is no agreement on the framework of the agreement yet… and the Qatari statement is rushed and not true,” the source told AFP in Gaza.

Wasn’t it 12 like a day or two ago?

That’s my understanding.

In an ap article of the 29th they say:

DETAILED ALLEGATIONS AGAINST UNRWA WORKERS
The Israeli document, which has been shared with U.S. officials and was obtained by The Associated Press, lists 12 people, their alleged roles in the attack, job descriptions and photos. The findings detailed in the document could not be independently confirmed.
The document said intelligence gathered showed that at least 190 UNRWA workers were Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives, without providing evidence.
It said of the 12 workers, nine were teachers and one a social worker. Seven of the employees were accused of crossing into Israel on Oct. 7. Of those, one was accused of taking part in a kidnapping, another of helping to take away a dead soldier and three others of participating in the attacks. (…)

The numbers mentioned in the posted article I first saw them on a wsg piece co-written by Carrie Keller-Lynn, a former political and legal correspondent for The Times of Israel which has some ties with the IDF, to be more precise the IDF spokesperson unit. (Relevant link from twitter).

[edit: I tried looking for her linkedin profile for more details, which appears in the results as: Carrie Keller-Lynn - The Wall Street Journal | LinkedIn but I get Profile Not Found - An exact match for caroline-keller-lynn could not be found. for now at least.

Academic performance is dictated by access to good educators which has always been dictated by wealth.

By gender and wealth. Not only wealth.

The way I see things meritocracy is a tricky notion. It implies that if you are dispossessed, it’s your fault and not a systemic failure.
Patriarchy is a systemic failure because categorises half the population as second class citizens, and that is the best case senario. Historically, more often than not, women have not been considered as citizens per se.

That’s a great question. Just to note that it is not talking about people, just men.

When I first got the news I thought something was strange.
Then I realized what that was: in this “war” / Genocide we have not been used to reading about dead soldiers, just civilians and children.
Scary stuff.
