It looks like the U.S. Journalist Jeremy Loffredo was released
Although an Israeli judge granted his release from police custody, he was ordered to remain in the country until October 20, allowing investigators more time to bring additional allegations or to further interrogate Loffredo,
Israeli police had held Loffredo, an independent journalist from New York, on suspicion of assisting an enemy in war, a serious allegation that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or death,
“The claim that Loffredo and The Grayzone represent Israel’s enemy in wartime merely suggests that the Israeli government views the American people and free press as a legitimate target,”
The statement also called on the U.S. State Department to come to Loffredo’s defense, saying that the U.S. “has an obligation to defend its journalists who are merely adhering to their ethical obligation to inform the public of pertinent facts.”

See how a heat wave in the Gulf of Mexico contributed to Hurricane Milton’s rapid intensification.

Protections account for around 10 percent of fish stocks on coral reefs
> Marine Protected Areas are key to sustaining long-term fish populations
> Research by Professor Joshua Cinner, looking at data from more than 2600 coral reefs across the globe, shows that marine conservation efforts have had a modest effect on fish stocks but more needs to be done to meet international commitments.
> Looking at fish survey data across nearly 2,600 tropical reef locations, the team developed a model that showed approximately 10 percent of fish biomass (the number and size of fish in an area) can be attributed to existing protections.
> At the UN Biodiversity Conference in 2022, 196 countries adopted the Global Biodiversity Framework and committed to protecting 30 percent of the world’s terrestrial, freshwater, coastal and marine areas by 2030 – an initiative commonly referred to as 30x30. The authors hope their study will help maximise the benefits from this initiative.
Desalination is not rocket science, it's something that people have been doing for hundreds of years, maybe thousands. Of course when it is done on a larger scale, it is done differently that in diy solutions but both approaches have one common problem (regardless of the the technic used, distillation or reverse osmosis): they are energy intensive.
The innovation that this collaboration created is in relation to the specific problem that this process has. The improvement is that not only they used solar power for this process but they actually eliminated the need for batteries. This means that they came up with a solution that tackles the actual problem desalination has. Apart from that they, they successfully tested it in the real world and it looks like they are launching a company in the next months, so it will be available to those who need it.

Operational activity of Unifil peacekeepers has virtually come to a halt, UN official tells security council
>UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix has told the security council that the safety of more than 10,400 UN peacekeepers in Lebanon was “increasingly in jeopardy” and operations had virtually halted since late September, coinciding with Israel’s escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
One desired outcome — if the movement were to gain enough support — would be to deprive big-time polluters such as BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Shell of the funds they need to keep investing in new oil and gas fields.
In relation to the above passage of the article, here is what the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement has to say about Chevron:
Chevron has been the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by Israel in the Eastern Mediterranean since it acquired Noble Energy in 2020. With its extracting activities, Chevron is implicated in Israel's policy and practice of depriving the Palestinian people of their right to sovereignty over their natural resources. Chevron’s extraction activities generate billions of dollars in revenue for apartheid Israel and its war chest, helping to fund the ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, as well as its regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid and military occupation. Chevron fuels apartheid and environmental devastation.
The BDS Movement issued a call to boycott both Siemens and Chevron in 2022, with campaigning around Chevron previously focused on divestment. Now, we are calling on supporters of Palestinian rights and climate justice to escalate pressure on Chevron by boycotting Chevron gas stations and gas stations owned by Chevron, including Texaco and Caltex. There are thousands of Chevron, Texaco, and Caltex gas and petrol stations worldwide. (...)

I believe your response is more accurate. In my reply, I assumed that @punkisundead was referring to the fabricated narrative of the Israeli officials. It looks like my assumption was wrong.
why we should trust the other claims in this article?
You shouldn't trust this article or any media. You should check their claims and decide for yourself depending on what you find. I did this and found out that these claims have been debunked time and time again.

Israel’s siege now blocks 83% of food aid reaching Gaza, new data reveals
New data has revealed the scale of aid obstruction, and the consequential drastic fall in aid entering Gaza. This is driving a humanitarian disaster, with the entire population of Gaza facing hunger and disease, and almost half a million at risk of starvation.
Data analysis by organisations working in Gaza has found that as a consequence of the Israeli government's obstruction of aid:
- 83% of required food aid does not make it into Gaza, up from 34% in 2023.This reduction means people in Gaza have gone from having an average of two meals a day to just one meal every other day. An estimated 50,000 children aged between 6-59 months urgently require treatment for malnutrition by the end of the year.
- 65% of the insulin required and half of the required blood supply are not available in Gaza.
- Availability of hygiene items has dropped to 15% of the amount available in September 2023. One million women are now going without the hygiene supplies they need.
- Only around 1,500 hospital beds in Gaza remain operational, compared to around 3,500 beds in 2023 which was already well below sufficient to meet the needs of a population of more than 2 million people. By comparison, cities of similar size, such as Chicago and Paris average 5 to 8 times more beds than in Gaza.
- 1.87 million people are in need of shelter with at least 60% of homes destroyed or damaged (January 2024). Yet tents for around just 25,000 people have entered Gaza since May 2024.
The IDF targets hospitals because they WANT to target hospitals.

For a year the Biden administration has given carte blanche to a genocidal zionist who is the head of an apartheid regime that the US has been supporting for so many decades, regardless of who was in power. What did they expect from Netanyahu? Loyalty to the party?
Thanks for sharing this cause what he says and what AP reports are quite different. And I'm saying that not being a fan of him, on the contrary.
My experience with this title/article was similar but ended with me wondering what was I expecting from a title like that, and kinda laughing about it. That's mainly why I thought of sharing it, I mean sure the recipes seem great too.
Btw sorry you got disappointed tho, I hope not too much.
I don't understand this logic. You claim that the US is supporting by all means a genocide because it's election year and out of fear of being called antisemites by the republicans? Therefore, after the elections this genocide will not be supported by the democrats anymore?
I'm sorry, this doesn't make any sense to me.
I think that if the democrats win this election there is a decent chance the US could start slowly pulling support.
Why do you think that? Did I miss something perhaps? I haven't seen a hint from democrats during the past year up to now to support this claim. On the contrary, they actively send Israel tones of bombs and money to genocide Palestinians, and no matter what "red lines" the Biden administration puts on the matter, soon after they forget about them. And Harris (if I remember correctly) she said she will continue the same policy.
If you manage to find time to take a look at it at some point, I'd really love to get some feedback on the content from you and anyone else, of course.
For me everything started last year when my cat got sick and western medicine had nothing to offer him. So for the first time in my life I went to a vet that practiced both allopathic and homeopathic medicine. The results were fast and impressive. I was amazed. Then the vet she prescribed a mix of bach remedies that also worked wonders. So I started reading about homeopathy and the flower remedies and thought that it would be much-much cheaper in the long run if I started doing the mixes myself, and started getting veraciously absorbing informative material. I totally I started using them myself. Now, I also make my own tinctures, and more often than not I make more to gift to friends as well.
One thing that I like so far about herbalism (or my understanding of it) is that there are many approaches. This can be quite challenging, especially for newbies like me, but it can also be a motivation to learn more.
What about something like house insulation panels?
I suppose they should be good as acoustic panels for sound absorption as well [ex1, ex2]. Even if they are much smaller I am pretty sure they could be cut and used combined as sound insulation tiles, and them being of different width, length and depth could actually be an advantage.
We must face the hard truth in Gaza: Israel has lost its moral authority - The Hill - 07/18/24
I reviewed thousands of incident reports and tens of thousands of individual data points from several dozen credible organizations, as well as the Israeli military itself, as a part of a nonpartisan task force analyzing Israel’s campaign in Gaza.
Our report, submitted to the Biden administration and briefed to Congress, establishes compelling and credible evidence of Israeli violations of international humanitarian law and U.S. military best practices, utilizing U.S.-provided munitions. It shows how the Israeli military has demonstrated a “systematic disregard for fundamental principles of international law, including recurrent attacks launched despite foreseeably disproportionate harm to civilians.”
