"The #Jewish population is now nonexistent, but for thousands of years the #Jews of #Libya lived under the rule of the #Greeks, #Romans, #OttomanEmpire, #Italian, #British and #Arabs. In 1911, they made up roughly 4% of the #Libyan population. In 1938, “race protection laws” banned Jews from sending their children to school, working in skilled professions or intermarrying. Later the community was divided and sent to concentration camps across #Europe and #NorthAfrica.
In the years following World War II, the remaining Libyan Jews were forced to emigrate, leaving just 100 in 1969 and none at all by 2004. Many went to #Israel and many to #Rome, adding to the spread and diversity of Libyan and North African Jewish #cooking. Today we enjoy such dishes as #mafrum (stuffed #potatoes), #couscous and #chraime (a spicy #fish #stew). Learning about these #foods helps us to understand our people."

39 People safe onboard of the Louise Michel
At least 35 intercepted in sight of our crew
Early this morning our crew found a white fibreglass boat with 39 people in distress. Everyone was safely embarked onto the Louise Michel. Shortly after, the monitoring aircraft #Seabird, operated by @seawatchcrew , spotted another boat - a rubber boat with 35 people on board. Sadly, before the Louise Michel could reach the position, a patrol boat of the so-called Libyan Coastguard arrived, intercepted everyone and took them back to Libya.
#Libya remains a deadly trap for people on the move; facing detention, violence and slavery. Libya is not a safe place.
The Louise Michel is now underway towards a Port of safety in #Italy.

Ain’t no rest for the wicked
How Libyan militias tail us at sea with EU and Italian support
During our most recent time at sea, we were once again followed by heavily armed Libyan militia boats.
These militias are involved in trafficking, slavery, and the detention camp system.
None of this is new. It’s been documented for years.
Yet news has come out that the Italian army has trained Eastern Libyan forces on its own military bases.
The same forces that just deported 700 Sudanese people back to a war-torn country.
We’re tired of saying it: #Libya is not safe.
But the #Meloni government keeps backing both sides of Libya, hoping it will help her control migration.
The people endangering lives keep getting money, boats, and praise.
Meanwhile, @seawatchcrew, @dakini_sar, and @resqship were detained for doing the work #Italy and the #EU refuse to do.
We want freedom of movement for all, and an end to support for Libyan militias.

Events in Iran are likely to reinforce North Korea’s belief that nuclear weapons ensure regime survival, with Pakistan and Libya providing lessons on how to get them and why giving them up can be fatal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/24/world/kim-jong-uns-nuclear-lessons/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #northkorea #kimjongun #pakistan #india #israel #iran #libya #nuclearweapons #defense
At least 7,000 volunteers and organizers will depart from several cities in #Tunisia, heading toward the #Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip to demand entry into the besieged enclave.
