Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Despite the genocide being obvious to everyone, including the UN committee of inquiry, he has never walked back his accusations. I'm disappointed that you would support a genocide denialist in this way.

Pinker has repeatedly claimed that those pointing out that there is a genocide in Gaza are engaged in "blood libel". This is a clear attempt to stifle criticism of Israel and provide cover for the ongoing atrocities.

“what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk’s death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize?”

He defines "deep Zionism" as the belief that you should murder the children of your enemies while giving the middle finger to the world. Ironically this definition of Zionism might be shared by many anti-Zionists.

Deep Zionism Suppose a man has already murdered most of your family, including several of your children, for no other reason than that he believes your kind doesn’t deserve to exist on earth. The murderer…

Scott Aaranson has completely lost his mind. It's been very disturbing to see an eminent scientist repeatedly advocate for mass murder on his blog, but this post is deranged.

"The problem, we reasoned, was that when it came to any conflict, people were the constant. People, our experts argued, are what all violence has ever had in common. Remove them from the equation, and what remains? A light breeze. A bird call. The sound of rushing water."

Fintan O'Toole: Gaza is also a war on the human instinct for compassion When we learn to shut down pity, we summon the pitiless to power

In Canada manufacturing weapons for genocide is fine. But talking about the genocide "causes harm" and earns you a suspension from school.

Is this where they store the miasma?

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month.

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up.

Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food.

Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.
