Even Once Reluctant Scholars Now Agree on Israel's Gaza Assault: It's a Genocide | Common Dreams
Julia Conley
May 15, 2025
"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.
"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""

Super fun evening at @pluralistic Picks&Shovels book tour stop here in #Pittsburgh
I appreciated that it was an everybody masked event - and had a terrific if quick chat on old 🍏 computers in my office and Chemistry hacking too.
Sadly I couldn't find my old paperback of Down & Out... but Kid1 got Little Brother signed

And thanks to @pluralistic I also found out yesterday about a computer museum a short drive away - I hope you make it there soon!
And since the pic of my office in the previous toot was an older one - here's the add on there taken today - my first computer a #ZXSpectrum (needs a TV to work - yes of course I have an old CRT at home...so kids know what color a dead channel is)
And while I'm showing off old junk some disks that persist after culls (don't ask why)

I happened to hear a song that in these days of US immigration awfulness makes me smile about my Canadian immigration experience 21 years ago. I came to Montreal to get a work permit (that eventually led to PR and citizenship). The agent read my birth certificate (No passport needed then!) and seeing the birth city, literally burst into song with this:

Congressional Republicans are split over their spending bill. Instead, Jake Tapper and a bunch of idiots want you to keep talking about 2024.
This isn’t hard to figure out.
People should be on their phones to their House Representatives both Democrat and Republican and telling them this bill can’t go forward. We have an opportunity right now to stop it.
