*NYPD agrees to ‘significantly’ change how it handles protests in the city.*
The EU threatened to punish Ex-Twitter for disinformation about Hamas.
Most Gazans are now cut off from the Internet following Israel's air attacks against communication facilities and the electric power grid.

The Sydney thug department wants to treat even potential participants at a pro-Palestine rally as criminal suspects: searching them arbitrarily and jailing people who refuse to show their papers.
Setting off flares on an outdoor stairway is not violence, neither against persons nor against property. Neither is chanting slogans, even odious slogans of bigotry such as antisemitism. We should detest those slogans but not arrest people for them.
Sydney has also banned all marches in support of Gazans. Human rights defender condenm this action.
I condemn HAMAS's terrorism. I condemn Israel's siege and killing in Gaza also.
Note, I capitalize "HAMAS" because it is an acronym.
