So proud I get to help @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social create this incredibly important historical game, despite the powers that be in the games industry insisting that Palestinians can not be allowed to tell their story.

Current stuff it can do/imports
- Lights
- Trigger volumes
- Custom entity prefab replacement (need to figure out fgd files some more)
- Curves (converts them to unity splines on import)
- Meshes obv, sets them static if in hammer its set to baked lighting + physics groups -> physics layers conv.

Alsoooooo vmap importer w/ entity replacement support do be workin nice.

Will share the repo when it's fully done but already working pretty well, barring some triangulation bugs. Biggest W is it makes the import pipeline a lot simpler since vmaps already store meshes as half-edges

🔴 NEW | Private jets chartered by the US government are being used to deport Palestinian men from the United States to Israel and the occupied West Bank, where they are handed to Israeli authorities and left at checkpoints. At least eight Palestinian men were deported on a January flight from Arizona to Tel Aviv, with a second flight carrying an additional group on February 2.

The detainees were flown in shackles across multiple countries as part of the Trump administration’s mass removal campaign. The aircraft was a luxury Gulfstream owned by Florida real estate tycoon Gil Dezer and chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In at least one documented case, the criminal charge that triggered ICE involvement was later dropped, yet the individual remained in immigration detention for a year and was deported anyway. Others had pending civil immigration cases, including an unrenewed green card, situations that normally allow appeals or relief.

Rights advocates say deporting Palestinians to the occupied West Bank raises questions under the principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits returning people to places where they may face persecution or serious harm.

- Reported in investigations by The Guardian and +972 Magazine.

🔴 BREAKING | Israel kills three Palestinian resistance fighters as an Israeli-armed collaborator militia abducts Qassam commander Adham al-Okair in eastern Rafah, footage shows.

The militia, known as the “Popular Forces” and led by Ghassan Duhine, is armed and backed by Israel, with support from the United Arab Emirates. It was installed by Israel earlier during the genocide to aid its broader starvation strategy by facilitating looting of aid and “engineering chaos” in southern Gaza, as locals described it.

Video shared Thursday shows Duhine standing beside the captured Qassam Brigades commander, striking and taunting him, and vowing to pursue other figures who continue to resist Israeli oppression. Israel’s Channel 12 described al-Okair as the commander of the fighters who remained in Rafah.

He had been trapped for months east of Israel’s so-called “yellow line” in Rafah, as Israeli forces repeatedly blocked any evacuation or negotiated exit for him and hundreds of other fighters, leaving them encircled without food or supplies. His visibly emaciated condition reflects the prolonged siege the fighters have endured.

The abduction came amid renewed Israeli airstrikes in Rafah. The Israeli military claimed it identified eight fighters emerging from underground infrastructure overnight and said airstrikes killed three, with the results of additional strikes “under review.” In a later joint statement with the Shin Bet, the military said Israeli forces apprehended a “key commander” in Hamas’ eastern Rafah battalion during subsequent searches. The statement did not mention the Israeli-backed collaborator militia in whose custody the commander is shown in video footage.

Senior Hamas official Basem Naim said the images “broke our hearts,” but stressed that Gaza “will not forget its men and will not abandon them at any cost,” warning also that Gaza “will not forget or forgive those who betrayed it,” and that history will bear witness.

The abduction underscores Israel’s growing reliance on armed collaborators after failing to defeat entrenched resistance through siege and airpower after nearly two and a half years of war, while exposing a deeper contradiction from international actors who call for Hamas and other resistance factions to disarm while Israel arms and facilitates collaborator militias in Gaza. 

Senior Hamas leader Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk echoed that view in an interview earlier this week: “If Netanyahu’s talking about weapons in Gaza that he wants to confiscate, why is he arming Palestinian groups operating outside the law and outside national norms… What will happen to their weapons if weapons are taken from the other (Hamas’) side?” he asked.

Abu Marzouk warned that arming militias operating outside any legal or national framework could collapse internal security in Gaza and risks plunging the territory into extreme chaos (video clip in reply).

The Board of Peace plans to build a prison camp in Rafah (they call it a city) for 25,000 Palestinians, where the prisoners will be monitored 24/7 & every aspect of their lives will be controlled by Israel.

Sharif Kouddous from @dropsitenews.com explains its already being built.

🟢 Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan tells Al Jazeera Mubasher:

➤ The assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Holi marks a serious escalation and exposes Israel’s intent to undermine the ceasefire agreement

➤ Israel continues to disrupt the ceasefire through repeated violations of its terms. The U.S. administration must compel Israel to implement the ceasefire agreement

➤ The responsibility now lies with Donald Trump and Steve Witkoff to show, in practice, whether Israel is committed to the ceasefire

➤ The world is witnessing immense human suffering in Gaza as Israel deliberately obstructs humanitarian and relief aid

➤ The resistance has fully abided by the ceasefire terms, despite the injustice and the continued violations

➤ The resistance is ready to hand over administration of the Gaza Strip to the independent Palestinian committee agreed upon by all factions
