Igal S. shared thisBoy George fired his record label manager after the latter insisted that he wants nothing to do with the song "We Will Dance Again", in honor of the victims of the massacre at the Nova music festival on October 7th, writing: "When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win."

Igal S. shared thisAnother #Doctor from Gaza... This (left) was a #Hamas commander who invaded Israel on October 7th, and later kept Romi Gonen (right) as a hostage in Gaza. Romi tells a horrific story and describes him as "the one who ruined her innocence" when he forced his entry into the bathroom while she was taking a shower on the early days of her captivity. In his "day job", he was a working as a doctor in Al-Shifa #Hospital in #Gaza (and no, that is not the Kamal Adwan Hospital where Hamas Colonel "Doctor" Hussam Abu Safiya was serving as director - there are plenty of hospitals and plenty of Hamas terrorists)

Igal S. shared this50,000 people rushing through the border is not an invasion! Don't be a bigot!! Those strong, military age men, are merely looking for refuge. Spain was scrambling Friday to contain a sudden border crisis after tens of thousands of people rushed into its North African territory, with dozens killed and political shock waves spreading across Europe. The dramatic events were “a violation of Spain’s territorial sovereignty,” Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on a hurried visit to Ceuta, a tiny Mediterranean city at the tip of Africa that shares a border with Morocco

Igal S. shared this💚🤍💔 The Islamic Republic Regime has executed (read: murdered) thousands of Iranians who have simply asked for basic human rights In January 8-9, the regime massacred more than 20,000 civilians a day, just because they asked for a better life that we in free countries take for granted Where is the outrage from the ones who claim that they care about human rights? We see demonstrations worldwide against Israel, who accuse Israel of war crimes because a fraction of the daily casualties in Gaza, most of whom are Hamas terrorists who started the war - but silence when it comes to the Islamic Republic Regime Free Iran!Igal S. shared this🚨 Two More Young Lives Lost. How Many More Before the World Says "Enough"? The Islamic Republic of Iran has reportedly executed Abolfazl Sephi Badjani, 23, and Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi, 29. Two young men. Two families shattered. Two more names added to a growing list of victims of a regime that has used executions, torture, and fear to silence its own people for decades. The Iranian people are not the enemy. They are among the regime's greatest victims. The world rightly condemns human rights abuses in many countries, yet when Iran executes protesters, dissidents, women, journalists, and young people, the international response is too often limited to statements of "concern." Concern does not save lives. The free world must stop treating the Iranian regime as a normal government while it continues to rule through terror. The United States, the European Union, Canada, the United Kingdom, and democratic nations should dramatically increase pressure through coordinated sanctions, diplomatic isolation of those responsible for abuses, and unwavering support for the Iranian people and civil society. Every execution carried out for political repression is not just an attack on one individual. It is an attack on freedom, justice, and human dignity. The brave people of Iran have repeatedly shown they want a different future. They deserve more than our sympathy. They deserve our support. History will not judge us by the statements we issued. It will judge us by whether we stood with the victims or remained silent while they were led to the gallows. #Iran #HumanRights #StopExecutions #StandWithIran #FreedomForIran #WomenLifeFreedom #HumanDignity #Justice #Democracy #PoliticalPrisoners #MiddleEast #NeverAgain

Igal S. shared thisNever Again is Now! 😔 Antisemitism is at the same levels that it was before WW2, disguised as AntiZionism There is a wave of Antisemitic propaganda that try to hide behind statements that they are "not against Jews, only against Israel" - the only Jewish State - the one where all citizens are equal - the one that is being constantly attacked from its neighboring countries and their proxy terror groups Stop Antisemitism!

Mary G I did know that
The fact that Spain colonized a large part of the world half a millennia ago doesn't make it right
While they can not change the history they should at the very least give up the colonies
I find it extremely hypocritical that countries like Spain, France, and the UK, who conquered and colonized half the world, are accusing Israel of colonialism, even though we have plenty of historical and archeological evidence that shows that we were there 3,500 years ago.

Igal S. liked thisIgal S. liked thisכוננות שיא למלחמה! אבל, מלחמות לא מתנהלות רק עם טילים. הן מתנהלות גם באמצעות קריקטורות שמהנדסות תודעה. הקריקטורה החזקה הזאת, שפורסמה היום בערוץ איראן בערבית המזוהה עם המשטר האיראני, היא שיעור מצוין באיך בונים תעמולה על מזימה ציונית. במבט ראשון היא נראית כמו איור על משבר ההגירה לאירופה, אבל למעשה כל פרט בה נועד להעביר מסר פוליטי: ארצות הברית – היד עם שרוול דגל ארה"ב אוספת באמצעות את חפירה דמויות קטנות בצבעי אדום וירוק מתוך חבית שעליה דגל מרוקו. הדמויות מייצגות מהגרים מרוקאים, וארה"ב מוצגת כמי שמפעילה את התהליך מאחורי הקלעים. יד עם שרוול דגל ישראל מחזיקה את המשפך - כלומר, לפי הקריקטורה, ישראל אינה רק שותפה אלא זו שמנתבת את זרם המהגרים. הדמויות נשפכות אל חבית גדולה שעליה דגל ספרד. לצד החבית הספרדית מופיעה חבית קטנה מלאה בדם, המסמלת את עזה. יד ספרדית "מחבקת" אותה – מסר ברור לכך שספרד תומכת בפלסטינים. בין מרוקו לספרד יש גדר גבוהה עם תיל דוקרני – רמז לגבול בין מרוקו למובלעת הספרדית סאוטה (ובכרבית – סַבְּתַה – سبتة) , שאליה זרמו השבוע עשרות אלפי מהגרים מרוקאיים. בפינה השמאלית עומד חנדלה, דמות מצויירת שיצר הקריקטוריסט הפלסטיני נאג'י אלעלי שהפך לאחד הסמלים המזוהים ביותר עם הנרטיב הפלסטיני. כאן הוא מצביע לעבר עזה, ומציג אותה כקורבן האמיתי. הקריקטורה שותלת בתודעה את הסיפור: ארה"ב מפעילה, ישראל מתכננת, מרוקו משתפת פעולה, ספרד היא הקורבן, ועזה היא הקורבן האמיתי ש��ענש משום שספרד תמכה בה. זו בדיוק עוצמתה של קריקטורה פוליטית. היא לא מתווכחת עם העובדות, אלא יוצרת אסוציאציות. הכותרת של הקריקטורה כבר עושה את השאר: "מזימה ישראלית נגד ספרד באמצעות יצירת משבר הגירה". זה משתלב היטב בנרטיב האיראני, שלפיו ישראל מייצרת משברים אזוריים ובינלאומיים, מפעילה מדינות אחרות ומשפיעה על אירופה באמצעות מניפולציות. וכך נולדת עוד "מזימה ציונית" והכול באמצעות דימויים, סמלים ואסוציאציות. בדיוק כך עובדת תעמולה. שמרו על עצמכם! שבוע טוב ושקט❤️ עידית בר הרצאות על העולם הערבי והמוסלמי

Every leader who backed repression, every judge who issued a death sentence, every prosecutor who fabricated cases, and every commander who ordered fire is responsible. Your names and roles will not be forgotten. One day, you will answer for every execution, bullet, tortured prisoner, grieving family, and stolen part of Iran’s wealth.Igal S. liked thisThese are three young protesters executed by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The media barely noticed. The voices of universal dignity and international justice said almost nothing. The perpetually outraged lost no sleep. The streets filled with no protesters. The socialist mayors filmed no impassioned speeches. Murdered Iranians do not fit neatly into the fashionable “white oppressor” narrative, so their deaths are met with silence. We should all be uncomfortable. Not only because young Iranians are being hanged for daring to oppose a brutal regime, but because so many who claim to believe in universal human rights have made their compassion conditional. Some victims are mourned. Others are ignored. Some atrocities bring crowds into the streets. Others are met with silence because the victims, the perpetrators or the politics do not fit the preferred narrative. That is not universal humanity. Human rights cannot depend on nationality, religion or political convenience. They cannot depend on whether the victim is Iranian, Israeli or Palestinian. One tragedy does not cancel another. One injustice cannot be used to silence those speaking about another. Human rights are either universal—or they are merely political weapons. If outrage depends on the identity of the victim or the perpetrator, it is not humanity. It is ideology wearing the costume of compassion. And before anyone responds by demanding that we discuss a different conflict, a different government or a different group of victims: that instinct is precisely the problem. Speaking about murdered Iranians does not deny anyone else’s suffering. It simply refuses to deny theirs. These young men deserved more than the world’s silence. Every victim does. Inspired by the words of Elica Lebon.

Today, after Spain was invaded by its Muslim neighbors, they are crying on TV asking for help.

Safe Concurrency with Lucee
See publicationIn a previous post we saw how easy it is to do multi-threading in Lucee. But as Uncle Ben said, with great power comes great responsibility. When multiple threads access shared mutable objects at the same time, it is important to synchronize the access or else you will run into problems commonly known as race conditions. This post shows you how to avoid these problems while tapping safely into the power of multi-threading.
-
Easy Parallelism in Lucee
See publicationOne approach for increasing your application performance in Lucee is to take advantage of multi-threading - this allows you to improve throughput and take full advantage of multi-core processors. In this part 1 we will take a look at the concept of "parallelism" and how it can work in Lucee. In part 2 we will cover a couple of potential pitfalls, and how correct concurrent code can solve them.
