World in $1.5tn โ€˜plastics crisisโ€™ hitting health from infancy to old age, report warns Plastic production has increased more than 200 times since 1950 and hits health at every stage from extraction to disposal, says review in the Lancet

Plastic is often seen as a cheap material but scientists in The Lancet argue it is expensive when including damage to health

One estimate of the health damage from just three plastic chemicals โ€“ PBDE, BPA and DEHP โ€“ in 38 countries was $1.5tn a year.

Iโ€™ve attended many protests in my 53 years of my life in Sydney and this by far was the biggest and most powerful protest Iโ€™ve ever been a part of. The rain I felt was a metaphor for the tears of humanity falling for the people of Palestine.

The US is complicit in genocide. Letโ€™s stop pretending otherwise | Mehdi Hasan The US government, enabled by the media, is an active participant in Israelโ€™s atrocities in Gaza

โ€œSo to the Biden and Trump administrations, to Democrats and Republicans in Congress, to the US media, I say this: history will judge you. For non-stop complicity in a genocide; aiding and abetting the crime of crimes.โ€

"To remain silent is to be complicit. To name is already to act. In Gaza, a genocide is unfolding. Every form of death is accumulating there: death by bombings, by starvation, by depriving water, electricity and medicine. All these forms of death converge in one place, driven by clear intention."

โ€œSpeaking out for kids in this situation is more important than my career.โ€

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

This is a remarkable document for a mainstream media outlet to publish.

Judaism: โ€œWhat is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary.โ€ To claim condemning wrongdoing is โ€œanti-Semiticโ€ is to claim Judaism would remain mute at & allow for horrific violence against others. I cannot imagine a more anti-Semitic idea than that.

so important to make this clear, and this interview with Alex de Waal does (yet again, because some people like Nathan Tankus have been trying very heard to teach this all along)

'I miss eating till I'm full': Gaza's children strive to survive with little food ***

"Ahmed asked whether he should take his school books with him. I said there was no need because we'd be back in a few days. But he insisted: 'I want to go on reading.' Last winter we were forced to burn the books to start a fire to cook food. He cried and so did I."
