I'm having a hard time looking this up through search engines. No shade at all, but I haven't seen anyone get someone in Palestine to do some traceroutes and understand how genocide data is being routed.

Does anyone know?

I'm trying so hard to claw at the smallest thing I can do to help, is there a person in a network box I can send a bottle wine to so the packets keep flowing?

They are on Israeli SIM networks but special Palestinian SIM cards. Israel runs on technological spying. If Israel pulls the plug on the internet then they black out their own data scraping as well.

If you want to donate, donate to content creators or journalists raising awareness for Palestine. Donating to those within Gaza just for money does little to help them.

Or donate to the dev of the "No Thanks" app for Israeli boycotts.

I don't know if you're paying attention to the HOPE hacker con but there's some sharp audience questions. Today, there was a talk about hacking from the defender perspective talking about Ukraine, and an audience member asked why the speaker was on her way to Tel Aviv to a conference

I haven't heard about that. Are there any articles or videos about it?

They stream the talks live on youtube, search hope_16 I think. It was a talk about privacy and surveillance, ... an audience member called her out and she never replied

basically like, what are you doing scheduling a talk in te aviv amongst war criminals? the person that asked the question was very polite too, I owe him a beer
