As Israel continues its downward spiral towards authoritarianism, sponsored in part by the US administration under President Biden, it has taken another step in the wrong direction, a budding army of #mercenaries.
The #IDF has been recruiting #African asylum seekers to perform life-threatening tasks in the #Gaza Strip in exchange for permanent residency. This practice is a form of exploitation and extortion, similar to Russia's #WagnerGroup, where prisoners are used as mercenaries. The IDF has also been using Palestinian civilians as human shields, which is a war crime prohibited by international law. A "despicable low" in Israel's behavior during the Gaza war.
Recruiting African #Asylum Seekers for Gaza War Is New Despicable Low haaretz.co.il/opinions/editori… or archive.ph/2zXbu (in Hebrew)
Interestingly, the Haaretz's Hebrew edition correctly titled this editorial: Local Wagner Group: The "most moral army in the world" extorts asylum seekers with threats.

The "#Haitian #Immigrants eating pets" story illustrates two things:
1) There are a LOT of stupid people who believe everything they read on the Internet.
2) One of them is running for president. 😒

"So, which presidential nominee has the better economic agenda to get Americans back on track? According to nearly 40 economists from America's top schools surveyed by the Financial Times and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business' Kent A. Clark Center for Global Markets, it's Harris instead of former President Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee."
This is not Apartheid: Seven students and teachers were injured after Israeli settlers attacked Arab Al-Kaabneh Primary School in the Al-Ma’arajat area, northwest of Jericho.

“Abortion bans will kill women” was never hysterical, hyperbolic, or fear-mongering. It was simply a fact. This is one of the first stories of a death that could have been prevented had the gov’t not gotten between a woman & her doctor - but it will absolutely not be the last.

Why staying on target with our messaging is key:
"Privately, Trump aides think it’s [the 'eating cats' narrative] a net plus. The longer the discussion is about migrants, the less it is about tougher topics for them.
'We talk about abortion, we lose. We talk about immigration, we win,' said one Trump adviser.
But what about spreading an incendiary story for which there is no evidence?
'We’ll take the hit to prove the bigger point,' the adviser said."

Das #DKFZ entwickelt mit dem „Human Radiome Project“ ein KI-Foundation-Model, das Millionen radiologische #Bilddaten analysiert. Es soll als Open-Sourcezur Verfügung stehen. Im Gegensatz zu bisherigen, spezialisierten KI-Modellen soll dieses breite Anwendungsmöglichkeiten bieten und nachträglich für spezifische Aufgaben trainiert werden. Der Ansatz spart #Kosten, da keine aufwendige #Datenannotation nötig ist.

"Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson articulated the value of these false claims succinctly during recent comments.
“First of all,” Carlson said, “it makes all the right people mad.” Later, he added a second positive effect: “Now we’re talking about eating pets.”
This is precisely Vance’s approach. When his initial comments about Springfield were met with pushback, he insisted that his allies “keep the cat memes flowing”"

Also... making outrageous claims about people who have immigrated keeps media attention where Don wants it and away from the topics he doesn't like abortion, project 2025 and any kind of policy specifics.
Sad how many left leaning media are still happy to run with his side distractions. Yes they're absurd. They're designed to be inflammatory. We need to keep people focused on the parts that will win elections, not on his attempts at pulling attention elsewhere.
