Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different.

How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?
BREAKING: Israel Killed Al Jazeera Journalist Anas Al-Sharif
Journalists in Gaza continue to be murdered in record numbers, while Western media outlets and reporters show little or no outrage.

A few months ago I read somewhere that he wants to naturalise 1948 Palestinians; haven't heard about it elsewhere or since, tho.

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity.
Exterminating Gaza was always Israel’s plan, but now it’s official

💯. I have been here for almost 10 years and I'm no longer able to deal with the dissonance of enjoying my peaceful life here when the same government (and society) making this life possible is wilfully and unrelentingly involved in the mass murder of thousands of people. Fucking sickening.

Would you say that weighting (by the joint distribution of the variables involved in the confounded interaction) is a viable solution in this case to recover population ATE?

I hate that I have to think about this scenario, but say they agree to a ceasefire and release the hostage(s). What's stopping Israel and US going "psych, you have to do this other stuff" and continuing the genocide a few weeks later like last time?

I just offered the same idea to a friend when thinking about how Jolani can entice Trump: Trump Tower in old Damascus.

hmm i'm not sure what the implication of this is. one would fit a different model depending on whether an interaction is assumed right? or is the position of people who'd say that you should fit an interaction anyway?
taymalsalti.bsky.social
one representing an assumption that there is an interaction, and another that doesn't, right?

i have a vague idea what it means but don't immediately make the connection to interactions. i also understand why DAGs don't NEED to represent interactions but imo if we want a reasonably precise representation of a hypothesis then it's probably good to differentiate between two DAGs, -
taymalsalti.bsky.social
because most people don't know what "parametric" means???
taymalsalti.bsky.social
i was gonna ask whether it wouldn't be too sacrilegious to instead represent the interaction effect as its own node and it turns out this has already been suggested (obv) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Former Netanyahu defence minister says Israel is engaging in “war crimes” and “ethic cleansing” in Gaza.

So, I guess we should expect him to be blacklisted as an antisemite by Canary Mission and denied entry/detained by the US?

The Israeli military’s former chief of staff has accused his successor of “sending soldiers to commit war crimes” in Gaza and torn into Israel’s government for “losing touch with Jewish morality”.

In an interview with Israeli outlet Ynet on Thursday, Moshe Yaalon, who also served as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defence minister between 2013 and 2016, said Israel had abandoned the captives held by Hamas and was carrying out a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza. 

Yaalon attacked the current military chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, saying he was not stopping “clearly illegal orders” and was ordering “his soldiers to be war criminals”.

“Call it ethnic cleansing, call it transfer, call it deportation - it’s a war crime,” Yaalon said

Thanks to everybody who chimed in!

I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.

So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>
