The West will “recognize” Palestine with one hand while arming Israel’s genocide with the other. By actively supporting Israel’s annexation and annihilation plans, it is ensuring there will soon be nothing left for a Palestinian state.

'A 2021 study estimated that UK academics contribute $391 million worth of unpaid labour annually through peer reviewing alone. These non-cash contributions are essential to the functioning of the scholarly publishing system yet are often overlooked in discussions about cost and value.'

We must break the link between publisher revenue and article volume

Volume-driven publishing pushes up costs and threatens research integrity. We need new agreements with healthier incentives, says Anna Vernon

‼️Two Israeli soldiers arrested and interrogated in Belgium over war crimes accusations

The Israelis were at the Tomorrowland festival in Boom

www.instagram.com/p/DMXq3iDNqtb

In what may become a turning point in the global pursuit of accountability, Belgian federal police have arrested and interrogated two Israeli soldiers credibly accused of war crimes in Gaza. The action came in response to an urgent legal complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation and Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) earlier this week.
The suspects were identified and arrested with a clear show of force at the Tomorrowland festival in Boom.
After being taken into custody, they were formally interrogated and released.
The Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that a criminal investigation is now underway.
