  • Article from January. The list is longer now.

    The widespread gently-spoken implicit celebration of genocide (and further depraved violence against civilians of the region) is sickening.

    But don't be upset, you'll make someone feel unsafe. /s

  • The trouble in Australia with the Fairphone models is that some/all networks are blocking them due to a perceived/actual risk they may not work reliably on Australian networks, and Fairphone has not done what the networks demand for that approval. (There's a heightened risk-aversion here at the moment due to a few highly-publicised emergency-call routing/connection/fallback failures).

    It's a work in progress though, and it should work already/eventually: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/3g-network-closure-australia/109696

  • Is it neutral to take a welcoming stance towards the leader of a government currently enacting a genocide?

  • U.S. Delivers New F-35 Fighters Without Radars Due to Upgrade Delays, Mounting Issues

    Jump

  • Huh?? F-35s don't need radars.

    Their primary purpose is bombing schools, hospitals, and refugee camps -- none of which move or pose a threat.

  • Queensland moves to ban pro-Palestine slogan ‘from the river to the sea’ under sweeping new hate speech laws

  • Nah just reflecting on the absurdity that the mere mention of river and sea may be criminalised by the Queensland government soon.

  • This is four years old, but gives some good background on why information about Israel available to Australians is distorted.

  • Oh, and that's just a teaser! The full thing is a 90 page book. Looks like it might be available online for residents' state libraries (australia), and hardcopy, and maybe elsewhere:

  • [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide.

    Jump

  • According to worldbank.org:

    • In 2022 the crude death rate across Gaza and West Bank was 3.0/1000pop/year.
    • In 2023 it was 7.0/1000pop/year.

    I expect Gaza specific stats are worse. Maybe someone else has further info they can cite, perhaps also relating to 2024-2025, but like others have said, such data is difficult to collect when Israel repeatedly bombs hospitals and their personnel.

  • I reckon posts linking to your self-hosted videos would work if they had an embedded video -- if your instance set the <meta property="og:video ..."\> tags appropriately.

    Also possible to make posts on your own instance which automatically federate to lemmy communities, as in this example which originates from a mastodon instance: https://lemmy.ml/post/41288461
