A webpage discusses the lack of conversation about the Palestinian genocide at the Chaos Communication Congress (CCC). It lists examples of censorship and self-censorship regarding Palestine, including the removal of Palestinian flags and slogans, and the avoidance of the topic in talks and workshops. The page also calls for open discussion and debate about the issue, highlighting the need for safe spaces to address the topic. Links to relevant news articles and the CCC event page are provided. A minimalist pastebin website is also mentioned at the bottom.

   Let's talk about not talking about #Gaza

   To the Chaos Computer Club, and to the larger community that makes the Chaos Communication Congress happen.

   Congress has been a place for policitized hackers from all around the world to meet, share and learn. Yet this year's #38C3 event has been lived by many of us as an awkward space of silencing and self-censoring with regards to the Palestinian #genocide. We couldn't help but feel terrified at that, although not completely surprised.

   It has been dreadful to once again hear discussions in which the only "argument" issued was "it's a complex situation" when trying to face the harsh reality of a 2 million people country being destroyed, blocked and bombed with barely any food or clean water, while one of the last running hospital was bombed three days before.

   As an heterogeneous group of people that are part of communities that are interested, active or impacted by the struggle for liberation of the Palestinian people, we've felt necessary to start this discussion.

   What follows is a series of experiences, questions and reflections that have been shared in the self-organized session "Let's talk about the not talking about Gaza" that was announced on the last day of the Congress.
