Few if any experts know more about the deliberate use of starvation as a war crime than Alex de Waal. If he says it's happening, it's so.

ALEX DE WAAL: So, let me say that I've been working on this field of famine, food crisis and humanitarian action for more than 40 years, and there is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.

Just days after Elon Musk's AI chatbot praised Hitler and called itself "MechaHitler", Australia's lead advisor on fighting antisemitism praised Musk's platform X's use of AI to "root out hate" 😵‍💫

it remains the case that if you kneecapped the political power of transphobes you'd literally be decades further along in fixing every other large-scale problem affecting our societies today — climate change, racism, poverty, &c., &c.; probably even scam phonecalls

The Age has published probably its worst piece yet on Gaza. This is a straight up attempt to justify the slaughter of civilians.

As Israel moves to ethnically cleanse Gaza, there will be many liberals assigning blame to Trump for letting this happen. But this is a bipartisan outcome from a system which will not let you meaningfully stand against what you know to be one of the most evil, dark acts in our lifetimes
