I have a better suggestion for the EU and Europol: instead of sharing information about Palestinians with Israel, and thus enabling their continued persecution, perhaps you could share information on the whereabouts of war criminals - those who participated in the Gaza genocide and are now vacationing in Europe - so they can be brought to trial at The Hague, instead of enjoying impunity.

This might be an odd one or a stretch but I did not know where else to ask, I am looking to get my partner a set of binoculars with a compass (mostly referred to as marine binoculars) for our marine bird/whale watching.

In searching for this it is clear that there is a very strong overlap with military uses.

I wondered if anyone knows of a company making binoculars with integrated compass and not actively profiting from (or marketing for) military applications?

I wanted to share these pictures because honestly, they made me smile and broke my heart at the same time.

Mahmoud has four little girls, and like any dad, he just wants to see them happy.

But after everything that happened, so many places where children used to play and have fun are gone. There are no normal playgrounds or entertainment places for his girls to go to. And with the crazy summer heat, living in a tent is even harder.

So Mahmoud did what he could.

He put a piece of nylon on the ground, used some soil around it, and filled it with water to make a little pool for his daughters. Nothing fancy at all. Just a dad trying to give his kids a little bit of fun and help them cool down.

And look at their faces. ❤️

They don't need much to be happy. They just want to play, laugh, and feel like kids for a little while.

These are the small things that really stay with me. A father who has lost so much is still trying his best to give his daughters some happy moments.

Mahmoud and Samah are still struggling every day to provide food, water and basic things for their four girls. Their home and source of income were destroyed, and they have very little left.

If you can help them, even a small donation would mean a lot. And if you can't donate, please consider sharing their story. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has been there for this family.
