דיוקן של מעצר: פרויקט צילום מיוחד

מ‘ ול‘
מגרמניה, סטודנטים ואקטיביסטים

מ‘ ול‘ נעצרו באוקטובר 2024 בא-תוואני בדרום הר חברון, בזמן שליוו את משפחת הורני באדמתם הפרטית. הם ביקשו להישאר בעילום שם, למען ביטחונם ומחשש להשלכות משפטיות בגרמניה. אחרי מעצרם הם נחקרו על ידי היחידה שהקים בן גביר לטיפול בפעילי סולידריות. הם בילו כמה ימים במעצר ואז אולצו לחצות את הגבול לירדן.

לפני שחצו את הגבול שוטרים צילמו אותם, וזמן קצר אחרי שגורשו, השר בן גביר פרסם את הצילום עם טשטוש פנים, וכתב: „2 אנרכיסטים תומכי טרור בעלי אזרחות גרמנית – נכנסו בערב ראש השנה ליישוב חוות מעון בדרום הר חברון הפריעו והתעמתו עם חיילים. צוות מיוחד שהקמתי במשטרת ישראל מיד עם פרוץ המלחמה, פעל בנחישות ובמהירות לעצור ולגרש אותם דרך מעבר אלנבי, ולפעול שלא יוכלו להיכנס לשטח ישראל בשנית. רק ככה זה עובד!“.

ל‘ מספרת: „הכל התחיל כשחייל-מתנחל ניגש אלינו וביקש את הדרכונים שלנו. לא מסרנו אותם מיד. שאלנו אותו – ‚מי אתה בכלל? אתה חייל? יש לך סמכות לעשות את זה?‘ הוא חזר על הבקשה, ואז פשוט התחיל לקרוא לאנשים. הגיעו חיילים, לקחו את הדרכונים שלנו, החזירו אותם ונראה כאילו הכל בסדר. אבל אז הגיע מתנחל שהיו לנו כבר מפגשים איתו, ואמר להם משהו על רמאללה. הוא המשיך להתעקש, וגם רצה לראות שוב את הדרכונים שלנו. הרגשנו שהוא מסית אותם“.

מ‘ ממשיך: „בסופו של דבר האשימו אותנו ב‘הפצת תוכן תומך טרור‘ ברשתות החברתיות או משהו כזה, וזה היה קשור לצילום שלנו בהפגנה ברמאללה. זו היתה התמונה שהמתנחל זיהה, והיא כנראה נלקחה מסרטון שפורסם בפייסבוק של הבחור שנאם שם. הוא העלה תמונה של כל האנשים שעמדו שם בעמוד הפייסבוק הפרטי שלו, שלא היו לו הרבה עוקבים או לייקים, והם איכשהו מצאו את זה והשתמשו בזה כהוכחה נגדנו.

Portraits of fascism

As in Russell’s case, M. thinks their photo was taken right before being deported – but this time at the Allenby Crossing. “We had completed the whole crossing process and we were just sitting there. Then suddenly a police officer came up to us. They photographed us several times, but the one that got published was the one of us just waiting.”

L. added: “He also told us to look directly into the camera. The photo was published that same day — we found out when we arrived in Amman, and someone said to us: ‘Did you see? Ben Gvir published your photo!’”

“It was so absurd,” M. continued. “My first thought was, how did that photo go from a police officer to the National Security Minister’s office in just two hours? They must have WhatsApp groups where they share everything. Honestly, I was kind of glad they blurred our faces, because that really could have had consequences.”

“In Germany, the Anti-Deutsch do almost exactly what the settlers do — they collect photos of Palestinians and anti-Zionist individuals, and post images from places where we meet people,” L. explained. “And there are attacks too. I feel like it‘s obviously meant to intimidate, to target individuals, to show that ‘we see you, internationals.’ And especially with this entire police apparatus, the goal is for us to be on their radar and to be hunted down.”

Die Zombie-Linke

(January 20, 2020)

Die einzige Überlebenschance für die fortschrittlichen Ideen und alle Individuen, welche diese tatsächlich repräsentieren und leben, ist sich von allen, absolut allen Organisationen und Gruppen der Zombie-Linken fernhalten und diesen jedwede Nahrung, Unterstützung, Aufmerksamkeit und natürlich die noch zählende eigene Stimme bei den Wahlen zu entziehen (deren Ergebnis ist in der hiesigen Demokratie-Simulation seit 15 Jahren, absehbar bis zur vollständigen Auflösung in den „Vereinigten Staaten von Europa“ Mitte der 20er Jahre, sowieso immer das Gleiche, zumindest auf der strategischen Ebene).

Erst dann wird die Zombie-Linke effektiv ausgehungert. Erst dann wird der Kampf gegen den Terror(Krieg) und die seit 2001 in seinem Schatten exekutierten Angriffskriege, der Kampf gegen Imperialismus, Kapitalismus, elektronischen Polizeistaat, Republikverbrauch und Demokratieabbau, sowie deren autoritären Symptome und Fusstruppen von rechts, wieder eine Chance haben. Genauso wie dann für die eigentlichen, positiven Inhalte, die alten Ideen um die zu erringen es geht, endlich wieder die Zeit gekommen ist.

Erst dann werden sich neue Organisationen gründen welche den Ansprüchen tatsächlich entsprechen und wirklich von dieser Welt sind. Bis hin zu der neuen Partei, die sich als ungenießbar entpuppt.

We Are Not Numbers

A teenage girl stares at her roof, hoping it won’t collapse over her head. A young student searches the Internet for photos of libraries around the world, hoping he’ll be able to visit them one day. Another walks around the city, taking notes of all the buildings she dreams of repairing.

These are the stories of young people from Gaza, born under Israeli occupation and blockade. They are people who have endured unspeakable struggles and losses, who keep fighting to be recognised not as numbers, but as human beings with hopes, dreams and lives worth living.

We Are Not Numbers was founded in 2014 to give voice to the youth of Gaza. In this collection, vital, urgent and full of heart, spanning over ten years to the present moment, we gain an unparalleled insight into the past, as well as the current and next generation of Palestinian leaders, artists, scientists and scholars and imagine where we might go from here.

We are Not Numbers: The Voices of Gaza’s Youth

“I want the world to know that Palestine has writers, artists, thinkers and, most importantly, lovers. I want the world to know that we are humans just like you.” So writes Anas Jnena in one of the many poignant stories featured in this important and timely collection.

The voices of Gaza’s youth have been palpably missing in the ongoing war.

They have been reduced to grim statistics by a media overwhelmed by the brutality of the ongoing genocide that has claimed the lives of more than 52,000 Palestinians to date.

Police Tell Anti-War Protesters: ‘No Photos of Killed Gazan Children’

Israel Police barred protest organizers from holding photos of killed Gazan children or using the words “genocide,” or “massacre” despite prior assurances to the High Court that it would allow “controversial” signs. Cops conditioned approval for an anti-war protest this coming Thursday in Tel Aviv on the requirement that “no images of children or babies from Gaza” be displayed. This despite the exhibition of hundreds of photos of killed Palestinians children in Gaza during the protests held Saturday night in Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and Friday afternoon in Jaffa at a demonstration against war and occupation sponsored by Hadash.

Amount of Data Created Daily (2025)

(Last Updated: March 28, 2025)

In zettabytes, that equates to around 147 zettabytes per year, around 12 zettabytes per month, 2.8 zettabytes per week, or 0.4 zettabytes every day.

To put that into perspective, this is how much data is generated per day in various units of measurement:

Zettabytes 0.4

Exabytes 402.74

Petabytes 402,740

Terabytes 402.74 million

Gigabytes 402.74 billion

“Big data is people” by Rebecca Lemov

(November 3, 2017)

We live in the ‘petabyte era’ defined by the rapid generation of massive amounts of data. It is important to keep in mind that the source of all this new data is in fact us. The so-called ‘big data’ that experts and companies use on a daily basis for their ads, research and strategies is generated by our everyday activities, and can be traced back to almost everything that we do. In our modern technological world, those with the ‘know-how’ can track just about every move that we make through our phones, bank cards, our cars, and even the pages that we scroll through on social media without clicking. All of these leave a trail, our digital fingerprint.

A.I. Generating Dreams & Turning Wi-Fi Routers Into Cameras to See Through Walls

Jul 3, 2023

0:00
aging the latest paper the one that
0:02
happened even after this which is
0:03
already better uses stable diffusion
0:06
uses the thing that you use to make art
0:09
like what should a thing that you use to
0:10
make art have anything to do with
0:11
reading your brain but of course it goes
0:13
further so in this one they said can
0:16
they understand
0:18
um the inner monologue the things you‘re
0:20
saying to yourself in your own mind my
0:23
dude by the way when you dream your
0:24
dream like your visual cortex runs in
0:26
Reverse so your dreams are no longer
0:28
safe
0:29
um but we‘ll try this so they had people
0:31
watch a video and just narrate what was
0:33
going on in the video in their mind so
0:35
there‘s a woman she gets hit in the back
0:37
she falls over this is what the computer
0:40
reconstructed the person thinking
0:43
see a girl looks just like me get hit in
0:45
the back and then she is knocked off
0:48
so our thoughts like are starting to be
0:51
decoded
0:53
yeah just think about what this means
0:55
for authoritarian States for instance
0:58
or if you want to generate images that
1:00
maximally activate your pleasure sensor
1:03
anything else okay but let‘s keep going
1:04
right to really get the sense of the
1:06
combinatorics of this how about can we
1:08
go from Wi-Fi radio signals you know
1:10
sort of like the Wi-Fi routers in your
1:12
house they‘re bouncing off radio signals
1:14
that work sort of like sonar can you go
1:16
from that to where human beings are to
1:19
images so what they did is they had
1:21
um you know a camera looking at a space
1:24
with people in it
1:25
um that‘s sort of like coming in from
1:26
one eye the other eye is the radio
1:28
signals so sonar from the Wi-Fi router
1:31
and they just learn to predict like this
1:33
is where the human beings are then they
1:35
took away the camera so all the AI had
1:38
was the language of radio signals
1:40
bouncing around a room and this is what
1:43
they‘re able to reconstruct
1:45
Real Time 3D pose estimation right so
1:50
suddenly AI has turned every Wi-Fi
1:53

router into a camera that can work in
1:56
the dark specially tuned for tracking
1:58
living beings
2:01
already

Israel says Shiri Bibas is not among bodies returned from Gaza, Hamas pledges to investigate

Hamas said on Friday it affirms its “seriousness and full commitment” to its obligations under the ceasefire agreement with Israel and pledged to examine Israel’s claims.

“We will examine these claims with complete seriousness,” the group said in a statement, adding that it will “announce the results clearly.”

“We have no interest in not committing or keeping any bodies with us,” it said.

The group also reiterated remarks made earlier by the Hamas-controlled Government Media Office in Gaza, which said that Shiri’s mutilated body may have been mixed up with other bodies under rubble in Gaza as a result of an Israeli airstrike.

WELCOME TO NOSTR

To join Nostr you need a profile, but it is not the usual one that a company generates and manages for you. You create it yourself, no permissions are required.

Nostr is a different experience from the beginning: because there is no central authority taking care of who is who, each user is identified by a cryptographic keypair; don’t worry about the tech slang, it is just a strong password that you will have to keep safe.

This wizard is one of the many ways to bootstrap a Nostr profile that you can later use in other apps. We help you to create your keypair and safely manage it in a few steps. Are you ready?

Can Netanyahu say just what he likes?

(October 25, 2015)

A political consultant once related how he lunched with Benjamin Netanyahu, who ordered a hamburger with fries. He was not supposed to be eating such foods – doctor’s orders. As they were finishing up, Bibi’s wife, Sarah, came in, saw the evidence and began to see red. Netanyahu, all righteous indignation, looked her straight in the eye and said he had eaten no such hamburger. The storyteller said he was convinced at that moment that Netanyahu himself believed it.

If apocryphal, it is definitely in character. Netanyahu regularly embraces bad ideas or even lies so totally that he convinces himself of their rightness. Others start to believe them too. His outlandish idea, uttered in a speech, was that Hitler would have been happy with just expelling Jews if a Palestinian, the then grand mufti of Jerusalem, had not suggested annihilation instead.

Medien und Cyber-Angriff gegen Wagenknecht: „Auf sie mit Gebrüll!“

Ganz aktuell berichtet die Pressestelle des BSW, dass die Partei „wahrscheinlich das Ziel eines Cyberangriffs geworden ist“. Darauf sei man am Montag durch eine Anfrage des „unabhängigen“ Recherchezentrums „Correctiv“ aufmerksam gemacht worden. Correctiv behaupte, über einen Datensatz zu zahlreichen Personen zu verfügen, so das BSW – und weiter:

„Correctiv nutzt die illegal gewonnenen Daten aktuell, um Betroffene direkt zu kontaktieren und mit Fragen zu konfrontieren.“
