New York Will Require Digital ID Checks for Social Feeds | Reclaim The Net
The law is written for under-18s but, as always has to be the case, the age-checking reaches everyone. To keep an algorithmic feed or overnight notifications, a user above 17 has to prove to the platform that they are an adult. Confirming who counts as an adult means collecting government IDs, face scans, phone numbers and email addresses from people who until now typed a birth date and moved on. James rejected the privacy objection to all this. The rules are “not a question of privacy,” she said.

18 Moroccans lost their lives trying to reach the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, while nearly 50,000 others crossed into the territory in what became a major humanitarian crisis. According to widespread allegations, Rabat deliberately allowed the mass crossing as political leverage against Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez after he restored relations with Algeria following a diplomatic rift.
Now, Trump, the White House, and Netanyahu's political allies have joined the pressure campaign against Sánchez over his principled stance on Palestine. Some of the strongest attacks came from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and members of her government, who have even called for Spain to face consequences within the Schengen system.
It's worth remembering, especially as so many European governments continue to shield Israel, that Sánchez has been one of the few Western leaders willing to back his rhetoric with concrete action. Spain cut diplomatic ties with Israel, joined the genocide case before the International Court of Justice, suspended military trade, barred Israeli-linked military shipments from passing through Spanish ports and airspace, banned imports from illegal Israeli settlements and ended consular services for Israeli citizens living in those settlements, among other measures.
Morocco, meanwhile, has moved in the opposite direction. It has welcomed Israeli officials accused of war crimes, expanded military and defense cooperation with Israel, hosted joint military exercises, received Israeli vessels rejected elsewhere, and signed billions of dollars' worth of defense agreements, all while Gaza remains under relentless attack and continuous genocide.
The Moroccan monarchy is hardly unique among Arab governments that have normalized relations with Israel despite overwhelming public opposition. What makes this case particularly striking, however, is the allegation that thousands of desperate Moroccans were effectively used as political pawns to pressure Spain, while Crown Prince Hassan was photographed enjoying life aboard a reported $4 million luxury yacht, an image many Moroccans see as emblematic of a ruling elite detached from the hardships facing ordinary citizens.
Cue the usual wave of regime loyalists, online propagandists and apologists rushing to defend the indefensible, the same political class that protects corruption, squanders public wealth and treats ordinary Moroccans as expendable whenever it serves the interests of those in power.
Honestly, wherever there is a human-made tragedy, just look for Israel and its allies.

🇵🇸 Rethinking Palestine: Palestinian Intellectual History with Sabri Jiryis
Palestinian scholar, lawyer, and former director of the Palestine Research Center, Sabri Jiryis, joins this episode to discuss the historical significance of the Center and its archives, as well as his seminal work, The Foundations of #Zionism, recently translated into English for the first time.
The Foundations of Zionism: An epic work of Palestinian scholarship now available in English | Middle East Eye
First published in Arabic across two volumes in 1977 and 1986, and now translated and edited by his daughter Fida, The Foundations of Zionism is a major work of Palestinian historical scholarship by Sabri Jiryis that feels uncannily timely in 2026.
It is a long, rigorous, often relentless #book, and that is part of its value. Jiryis is not interested in offering a softened primer or a liberal-humanist fable about misunderstanding on both sides..

🇵🇸Book Review: Grief and resistance for Palestine | Mondoweiss
Ramsey Hanhan’s book, “Palestine Bleeds for You,” is a sensitive and astute expression of grief and #resistance to #oppression.
What would you do if your homeland was taken over by fascists, racists who built and seek to entrench a political system of supremacy, in which truth is distorted and “lesser” and non-citizens are oppressed, detained, and expelled?

How Universities Shape Power, Silence Dissent, and Influence Society, Professor Norman Fenton.
Most people assume universities simply reflect our culture. In reality, they have spent decades reshaping it, as successive generations of left-leaning academics transformed the institutions that train Britain’s professional and governing classes.

New recordings reported by The New York Times this week show Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the late US Senator Lindsey Graham privately coordinating a bipartisan group of lawmakers to denounce the International Criminal Court (ICC) just days before the 2024 US election.
The footage, part of roughly 400 hours filmed by British documentary maker Alex Holder for a planned project on Graham, captured two calls on October 29, 2024, weeks before ICC judges issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant.
Khan was removed from his post last week in a vote by #ICC member states, a decision UN special rapporteur #FrancescaAlbanese said lined up "neatly" with efforts to neutralise Netanyahu's warrant.

The United States used one of its most powerful air bombs, weighing nearly a ton, to strike a residential building in Iran, resulting in the deaths of three people, according to The New York Times, citing satellite images and expert opinions.
No evidence of military facilities near the residential building was found. The strike was carried out in a densely populated area, the publication adds.
note : it could be GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB,) they were previously used in the Irak/Afghanistan war.

Almost all of the estimated 60,000 migrants who entered Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco over the past few days had left by August 1, Spanish authorities said.
Spanish soldiers and police oversaw the return of the remaining migrants at the border, while Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said the situation had been "almost entirely reversed."
Authorities said at least 67 people died attempting to reach Ceuta, where many migrants swam around the border barrier separating the enclave from Morocco. The sudden influx prompted concern across Europe and led several EU countries to strengthen border controls.
Leaders of 22 EU member states called for an urgent meeting of the bloc's interior ministers to coordinate a response and prevent further irregular crossings.

US uses 2,000-pound bunker buster bomb to kill family of 3 in Iranian island strike
Thursday’s deadly attack on a residential neighborhood on Qeshm Island used a Mark 84 high explosive bomb – one of the heaviest munitions in the US military’s inventory.
🔴 The strike killed a taxi driver, his wife and their 2-year-old son, and buried their two other children alive in the rubble.
🔴 The bomb blast created a crater at least 30 feet wide, displaced 20 neighboring households, and spread debris and damaged vehicles up to 200 feet away.
🔴 The densely populated Chah Tangu neighborhood of Qeshm City consists mostly of working-class families, and, a NYT analysis based on OSINT photos, footage and satellite imagery “found no indication of a military site near the family’s home or any reports of military casualties from the strike, which the Iranian authorities typically announce.”
🔴 Built by General Dynamics, Mark 84s, often fitted to JDAM guidance kits, are designed to target large, often fortified military targets, from bunkers to rail yards, not civilian areas with no military utility whatsoever.
