Hadash and CPI: Fascist Govt Has Once Again Broken the Ceasefire in the Most Appalling Way

The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash) and the Communist Party of Israel (CPI) in a communique against the deadly Israeli attack warned of the dangers and disastrous repercussions on the conflict arena, the countries of the region and the world, and which affirmed their adherence to the just and legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost of which is the embodiment of the Palestinian state on the ground with East Jerusalem as its capital, in implementation of the principle of the two-state solution.

Hadash and CPI considered the attack and the forced displacement of Gaza residents a crime against humanity and a serious violation of international law, against the auto determination and legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians, and a destabilizing factor in the region. “The fascist government has once again broken the ceasefire in the most appalling way, with air strikes that targeted refugee camps and other civilian locations, leading to the deaths of hundreds of people, including many children,” they said.

Hadash-Ta’al chair, MK Ayman Odeh accused Netanyahu of choosing “more war and destruction” to maintain power. MK Ofer Cassif (Hadash), said on X the ceasefire was “shattered on purpose by Netanyahu and his cronies”.

Audible enclaves crafted by nonlinear self-bending ultrasonic beams

(March 17, 2025)

Here, we introduce an approach for creating remote audio spots, dubbed audible enclaves, by harnessing the local nonlinear interaction of two self-bending ultrasonic beams with distinct spectra. The self-bending ultrasonic beams created by acoustic metasurfaces, though inaudible, can bypass obstacles such as human heads.

A new technique sends sound to a specific person without the surrounding people hearing it

(today)

Telecommunications engineer Juan Miguel Navarro, from the Catholic University of Murcia in Spain, collaborated with Yun Ling over a decade ago on acoustic simulations for large venues. Navarro notes that sound focusing has been used for over 20 years in security applications, such as long-range acoustic devices, considered non-lethal weapons because they emit painful sounds that incapacitate the enemy.

Zelenskyy says Putin continues attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure after he agrees with Trump to stop them

“Today, Putin effectively rejected the proposal for a full ceasefire. It would be right for the world to respond by rejecting any attempts by Putin to prolong the war. Sanctions against Russia. Assistance to Ukraine. Strengthening allies in the free world and working toward security guarantees. And only a real cessation of strikes on civilian infrastructure by Russia, as proof of its willingness to end this war, can bring peace closer,” Zelenskyy summed up.

Why Putin rejected Trump’s ceasefire deal

One hour into Donald Trump’s phone call with Vladimir Putin on 18 March, a White House aide reported that the conversation was “going well”. The following hour, with the two leaders still talking, the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, Kirill Dmitriev, announced that, as a result of the dialogue, the world had “become a much safer place today!”. Channelling the Trumpian vernacular, he pronounced the results: “Historic! Epic!” But when the call ended and the two sides released the details, it became clear that they had agreed to little of substance at all.

„Das ist gespenstisches Verfassungsrecht“

(March 14, 2025)

Selbst bei der für den neuen Bundestag günstigen Auslegung (= Anwendung von Art. 39 Abs. 3 S. 3 GG) hieße das, dass die Verfassung das Recht auf die parlamentarische Zeit dem Drittel vorbehält, das sich als solches artikulieren muss. Hätten die Gegner des Vorgehens es zumindest politisch probieren wollen, hätten sie sagen müssen: Wir sind ein Drittel der Neuen und wir verlangen eine Sitzung. Bedeutet: Die Linke hätte in dem Fall mit der AfD zusammen agieren müssen, statt, was leicht fällt, zwei getrennte Anträge nach Karlsruhe zu schicken.

Bundestag: Union, SPD und Grüne drücken Verfassungsänderung durch

Niemals zuvor hat der Bundestag eine solche Verschuldung beschlossen, niemals zuvor in so kurzer Zeit und so knapp vor dem Ende seiner Zuständigkeit so weitreichende Entscheidungen gefasst. Aber, das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat es gegen alle Behauptungen von AfD und BSW, von Linken und FDP bestätigt: Dies ist keine Revolution, auch kein Putsch gegen die Demokratie. Dies ist legal.

The Empire At Its Most Honest

(February 27, 2025)

The most powerful government on earth celebrated the idea of Trump and Netanyahu presiding over orgiastic parties for the obscenely wealthy on a land that has been purged of its indigenous inhabitants following a year and a half of brutal slaughter. Twerking to shitty AI-generated techno music surrounded by golden Trump statues and hundred dollar bills, because you are so happy that you finally found a Final Solution to the Palestinian Problem.

It doesn’t get any more American than this, and it doesn’t get any more Israeli. This soulless, artless, conscienceless expression of egotistic masturbation lubricated with the blood of dead children is the empire at its most honest.

Netanyahu says Israeli strikes that killed hundreds in Gaza are ‘just the beginning’

Israel’s military launched a large-scale bombing campaign across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, breaking the ceasefire with Hamas that has been in place since late January. At least 404 people have been killed and 562 injured, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, making it one of the deadliest days of the 17-month war. The strikes were carried out amid mounting domestic pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with mass protests planned over his governance.
