Former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell Friday accused EU leaders of being complicit in Israel's alleged crimes in Gaza by failing to impose sanctions, urging immediate action to uphold international law and human rights.
In an opinion piece for The Guardian, Borrell said Israel's attacks on Gaza amount to genocide, citing the widespread killing and starvation of civilians as well as the destruction of infrastructure.

Mississippi Kite on Alert
During our Friday walk, I spotted this Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis)—the closest encounter I’ve ever had with one. I kind of wish I’d had my other camera with me. My first instinct told me it was a Mississippi Kite, but when I tried to verify the ID using apps and such, things got a bit finicky. I think the uncertainty came from the angle and the way the coloration appears here. The tail looks unusually long, but I believe that’s actually a portion of the left wing extending behind it. The brownish tint seems to be more a trick of the light than true plumage. Fortunately, I managed to get another image from a different angle, which helped confirm the identification.

I looked into this a bit, and I'll disclose up front that I did not learn why this message is here. It occurred to me that it might be one company's joke (which does happen), but I found other examples, suggesting this is more common.
Most curious to me is that you cannot see the message WITHOUT opening the box, which just gives me more questions.
I used to run pizza places, and don't remember ever seeing this. But I also have no idea why it's there.

Slovenia has become the first country in the European Union to ban all weapons trade with Israel over its war on Gaza.
The move by the government comes two weeks after the Central European nation declared Israeli ministers persona non grata.
The arms embargo was announced by PM Robert Golob.
“Slovenia is the first European country to ban the import, export and transit of weapons to and from Israel,” the government said.
